Introduction: Thymectomy has always been considered an important treatment modality for patients with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Because of the absence of randomized trials, its exact role was not clear and was even questioned by some. Indications for surgery were made on empirical basis. It was not until the results of the first randomized double- blinded multicentric study were published, where the combined surgical treatment of patients with nonthymomatous MG was proved superior to conservative treatment alone. In this study the technique of extensive thymectomy via longitudinal sternotomy was used as a mainstay of surgical treatment. In the advent of minimally invasive techniques a variety of options were presented for minimally invasive surgical treatment of thymic pathology. Methods: The authors present a retrospective analysis of short term results using the slightly modified method of “Minimally Invasive Maximal Thymectomy” developed by Zielinski over a 10 year period (2008−2018). Besides the demographics, we assessed the peri- and postoperative results such as the length of surgery, blood loss, the need for conversion, learning curve impact, the lengths of drainage and hospital stay and the complication rate, both surgical and systemic. Results: 48 patients underwent surgery using the above mentioned method for non-thymomatous MG. 81.25% (n=39) of patients were diagnosed with a seropositive generalized form of MG, 6 (12.5%) had seropositive ocular form and 3 patients (6.25%) had seronegative form of the disease. The sex ratio profoundly favored females (89.5%; n=43). The median value of the length of surgery was 186,5 minutes, the mean LOS and length of drainage were 4 and 3 days, respectively. Conclusion: According to our results and experience with Minimally Invasive Maximal Thymectomy, we found it to be an effective and safe method for MG patients after conquering the learning curve.

The objective of this review study was to analyze the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and postoperative short-term outcomes morbidity in patients with Klatskin tumor who underwent surgical treatment. Low index skeletal muscle mass had a negative impact factor on postoperative morbidity following resection of Klatskin tumor and should therefore be considered as preoperative risk assessment. The further study of body composition in oncological patients allowed revealing the group of patients with high probability of postoperative complications and this factor needed to be added to future models predictive scale of short-term outcomes with the aim of making the most rational preoperative treatment algorithm.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Endoscopic antireflux treatments for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are still evolving, and most of the published studies address symptom relief in the short-term. Objective - We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis focused on evaluating the efficacy of the different endoscopic procedures. METHODS: Search was restricted to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on MedLine, Cochrane, SciELO, and EMBASE for patients with chronic GERD (>6 months), over 18 years old and available follow up of at least 3 months. The main outcome was to evaluate the efficacy of the different endoscopic treatments compared to sham, pharmacological or surgical treatment. Efficacy was measured by different subjective and objective outcomes. RESULTS: We analyzed data from 16 RCT, totaling 1085 patients. The efficacy of endoscopic treatments compared to sham and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) treatment showed a significant difference up to 6 months in favor of endoscopy with no heterogeneity (P<0.00001) (I2: 0%). The subgroup analysis showed a statistically significant difference up to 6 months in favor of endoscopy: endoscopy vs PPI (P<0.00001) (I2: 39%). Endoscopy vs sham (P<0.00001) (I2: 0%). Most subjective and objective outcomes were statistically significant in favor of endoscopy up to 6 and 12 months follow up. CONCLUSION: This systematic review and meta-analysis shows a good short-term efficacy in favor of endoscopic procedures when comparing them to a sham and pharmacological or surgical treatment. Data on long-term follow up is lacking and this should be explored in future studies.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: New endoscopic treatments for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) are developed every year and are indicated in cases that are refractory to conventional therapies as well as after surgical treatment failure. OBJECTIVE: To present the first cases of endoscopic therapy for GERD performed in Brazil. METHODS: Use of radiofrequency with the Stretta procedure in symptomatic volunteers diagnosed with GERD. RESULTS The technique was performed in three patients after they were included in the study protocol. No patient had complications, and all patients were discharged on the same day, either without medication or taking it sporadically for symptom control. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic treatment for GERD using radiofrequency was effective in the cases presented herein with no technical complications.
