Significant Difference

Background It aims to evaluate the surgical efficacy and long-term survival of different laparoscopic surgeries for gastric GISTs. Methods From a prospectively collected database, 133 patients with primary gastric GISTs undergoing laparoscopic surgery were selected from January 2008 to December 2014. They were divided into three groups according to the different operations that were performed, including laparoscopic gastric wedge resection (LWR Group, n=103), laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (LSG Group, n=18) and laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG group, n=12). Clinicopathological features and short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Results All patients had received R0 resection. There were no differences among the three groups in age, BMI or NIH risk classification. Compared with the LSG group and LTG group, the LWR group had a shorter operative time, less blood loss, fewer operative complications and shorter time to ground activities, semi-liquid diet and hospital stay (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in time to first flatus and liquid diet or in the rate of postoperative complications (P<0.05). In the patients with a large tumor (size≥5 cm), LWR was significantly associated with shorter operative time, less blood loss and shorter hospital stay compared with the laparoscopic gastric non-wedge resection (N-LWR) (P<0.05). The median follow-up was 30 months, with 4 cases of recurrence and 3 deaths. The 5-year cumulative survival rate was similar among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with LSG and LTG, more favorable minimally invasive results can be achieved from LWR for gastric GISTs, which may be the optimal surgical procedure.

Abstract Objective The present study has compared the long-term outcomes between performing wedge resection (WR) and microwave ablation (MWA) as first-line treatment of stage I non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with tumors adjacent to the pericardium. Materials and Methods Between January 2014 and December 2018, a total of 223 consecutive patients with T1N0 NSCLC underwent first-line treatment by WR (n = 155) or image-guided lung MWA (n = 68). This study has compared the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates between the two treatments before and after propensity score matching. Subgroup analysis of these outcomes was conducted based on the distance from the pericardium. Results The median follow-up time was 47 months. Propensity matching yielded 56 pairs of patients. In the two matched groups, the PFS rates in the WR group at 3 and 5 years were 66.0% and 56.0% and 54.0% and 36.0%, respectively, in the MWA group (P = 0.029). Meanwhile, the corresponding OS rates for the WR group at 3 and 5 years were 81.0% and 72.0% and 60.0% and 55.0% in the MWA group, respectively (P = 0.031). Subgroup analysis, done according to the treatment modality, indicated that local tumor recurrence and PFS for NSCLCs that were close but not contiguous to the pericardium were different from those contiguous to the pericardium (P = 0.018 and P = 0.025, respectively). Conclusion WR provided better long-term tumor control and OS compared to MWA for stage I NSCLC adjacent to the pericardium as a first-line treatment. MWA can be considered as an alternative option for high-risk and inoperable patients, particularly for tumors that were not contiguous to the pericardium.

The Moment

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious epidemic in the United States. It affects patients of all ages, race, and socioeconomic status (SES). The current care of these patients typically manifests after sequelae have been identified after discharge from the hospital, long after the inciting event. The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of identification and management of the TBI patient from the moment of injury through long-term care as a multidisciplinary approach. By promoting an awareness of the issues that develop around the acutely injured brain and linking them to long-term outcomes, the trauma team can initiate care early to alter the effect on the patient, family, and community. Hopefully, by describing the care afforded at a trauma center and by a multidisciplinary team, we can bring a better understanding to the armamentarium of methods utilized to treat the difficult population of TBI patients.
