Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy represents an effective therapeutic approach for right colon cancer (RCC). The primary aim of this study was to evaluate bowel function recovery, length of hospital stay, operative time, and the number of general and anastomosis-related postoperative complications from intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) vs. extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA); the secondary outcome was the number of lymph nodes retrieved. This observational study was conducted on 108 patients who underwent right hemicolectomy for RCC; after surgical resection, 64 patients underwent ICA and 44 underwent ECA. The operative time was slightly longer in the ICA group than in the ECA group, even though the difference was not significant (199.31 ± 48.90 min vs. 183.64 ± 35.80 min; p = 0.109). The length of hospital stay (7.53 ± 1.91 days vs. 8.77 ± 3.66 days; p = 0.036) and bowel function recovery (2.21 ± 1.01 days vs. 3.45 ± 1.82 days; p < 0.0001) were significantly lower in the ICA group. There were no significant differences in postoperative complications (12% in ICA group vs. 9% in ECA group), wound infection (6% in ICA group vs. 7% in ECA group), or anastomotic leakage (6% in ICA group vs. 9% in ECA group). We did not observe a significant difference between the two groups in the number of lymph nodes collected (19.46 ± 7.06 in ICA group vs. 22.68 ± 8.79 in ECA group; p = 0.086). ICA following laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, compared to ECA, could lead to a significant improvement in bowel function recovery and a reduction in the length of hospital stay in RCC patients.

Abstract   Laparoscopic fundoplication is the gold standard for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, RNY reconstruction may be an alternative option in patients with complex pathophysiology and other risk factors. This study aimed to compare perioperative and short-term outcomes between primary fundoplication and RNY reconstruction. Methods After IRB approval, a prospectively maintained esophageal surgery database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent primary fundoplication or RNY reconstruction from September 2016 to July 2020. We retrieved perioperative outcomes (operative time, length of hospital stay, intraoperative and postoperative complications) along with GERD-Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) scores at annual follow-up. Results During the study period, 226 patients underwent surgery (fundoplication: 210; RNY: 16). The most common indication for RNY was severe esophageal dysmotility or morbid obesity. There was only one conversion to open surgery due to adhesions (fundoplication group). The operative time, length of hospital stay, and ICU stay were significantly lower in the fundoplication group. Rates of intraoperative (fundoplication: 3% vs RNY: 0) and postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥II) (fundoplication: 3% vs RNY: 6%) were not significantly different between groups. Both groups had a significant and similar improvement of GERD-HRQL scores 1 year after surgery (Table 1). Conclusion Primary antireflux surgery is associated with low perioperative morbidity and excellent short-term outcomes. RNY reconstruction and fundoplication have similar outcomes. More liberal use of RNY reconstruction as the primary antireflux surgery in patients at high risk of failure with fundoplication should be explored.

Splenic Flexure Mobilization

Background: According to traditional textbooks on surgery, splenic flexure mobilization is suggested as a mandatory part of open rectal resection. However, its use in minimally invasive access seems to be limited. This stage of the procedure is considered difficult in the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study was to systematically review literature on flexure mobilization and perform meta-analysis. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using the Medline, Embase and Scopus databases to identify all eligible studies that compared patients undergoing rectal or sigmoid resection with or without splenic flexure mobilization. Inclusion criteria: (1) comparison of groups of patients with and without mobilization and (2) reports on overall morbidity, anastomotic leakage, operative time, length of specimen, number of harvested lymph nodes, or length of hospital stay. The outcomes of interest were: operative time, conversion rate, number of lymph nodes harvested, overall morbidity, mortality, leakage rate, reoperation rate, and length of stay. Results: Initial search yielded 2282 studies. In the end, we included 10 studies in the meta-analysis. Splenic flexure is associated with longer operative time (95% confidence interval (CI) 23.61–41.25; p < 0.001) and higher rate of anastomotic leakage (risk ratios (RR): 1.02; 95% CI 1.10–3.35; p = 0.02), however the length of hospital stay is shorter by 0.42 days. There were no differences in remaining outcomes. Conclusions: Not mobilizing the splenic flexure results in a significantly shorter operative time and a longer length of stay. Further research is required to establish whether flexure mobilization is required in minimally invasive surgery.

ABSTRACT Objective: in Latin America, especially Brazil, the use of a robotic platform for thoracic surgery is gradually increasing in recent years. However, despite tuberculosis and inflammatory pulmonary diseases are endemic in our country, there is a lack of studies describing the results of robotic surgical treatment of bronchiectasis. This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes of robotic surgery for inflammatory and infective diseases by determining the extent of resection, postoperative complications, operative time, and length of hospital stay. Methods: retrospective study from a database involving patients diagnosed with bronchiectasis and undergoing robotic thoracic surgery at three hospitals in Brazil between January of 2017 and January of 2020. Results: a total of 7 patients were included. The mean age was 47 + 18.3 years (range, 18-70 years). Most patients had non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (n=5), followed by tuberculosis bronchiectasis (n=1) and lung abscess (n=1). The performed surgeries were lobectomy (n=3), anatomic segmentectomy (n=3), and bilobectomy (n=1). The median console time was 147 minutes (range 61-288 min.) and there was no need for conversion to open thoracotomy. There were no major complications. Postoperative complications occurred in one patient and it was a case of constipation with the need for an intestinal lavage. The median for chest tube time and hospital stay, in days, was 1 (range, 1-6 days) and 5 (range, 2-14 days) respectively. Conclusions: robotic thoracic surgery for inflammatory and infective diseases is a feasible and safe procedure, with a low risk of complications and morbidity.

Extracorporeal Anastomosis

Aim of Study: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has gained popularity around the Globe. Laparoscopic colectomy significantly improves the short term and long term outcomes of patients. The bowel anastomosis after laparoscopic resection of the tumour can be done in two ways - extracorporeal anastomosis and Intracorporeal anastomosis. Our study observed and evaluated the data of the patients who underwent these two techniques. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in the department of General Surgery, SMHS hospital of Government Medical College, Srinagar. A total of 32 patients were studied out of which 20 patients had undergone intracorporeal anastomosis and 12 patients had undergone extracorporeal anastomosis. The aims of the study were to assess the operative time, post-operative ileus, length of hospital stay, anastomotic leak and other anastomotic complications,wound infections and extraction site hernias. Results: The patients in our study were in the range of 30-85 years with a mean age of 59.18 ± 14.92. and 59.4% of patients were males and the rest 40.6% were females, with male/female ratio of 1.46:1. There was no significant difference in mean operative time between the intracorporeal group and extracorporeal group (188±9.78 minutes’ vs.180.3±13.8 minutes). The patients in the intracorporeal group had  earlier return of bowel function than extracorporeal group as reflected by earlier appreciation of flatus and tolerance to orals. This had led to the shorter hospital stay of the intracorporeal group than the extracorporeal group of patients (median of 5 days vs. 6.5 days)  The wound infection rate was 6.3 percent in our study, 5.0% in the intracorporeal group and 8.3% in the extracorporeal group. Only 1 out of the total 32 patients developed mesenteric twist to the extracorporeal group (1 out of 12 patients).  We observed no leak or incisional  hernia in either groups. Conclusion: Intracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic colorectal surgeries leads to earlier return of bowel function, earlier resumption of orals and shorter hospital stay than the extracorporeal anastomosis. There does not exist a significant difference between the two modes of anastomosis in terms of anastomotic and wound related complications.

A Prospective Study

Objectives. A prospective study was carried out to compare vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and robotically assisted hysterectomy (RH) for benign gynecological disease.Materials and Methods. All patients who underwent hysterectomy from March 2010 to March 2012 for a benign disease were included. Patients’ demographics per and post surgery results were collected from medical files. A questionnaire was also conducted 2 months after surgery.Results. Sixty patients were included in the RH group and thirty four in the VH one. Operative time was significantly longer in the RH group ( versus  min; ). Blood loss and length of hospital stay were significantly reduced: versus  ml; , and versus days; , respectively. Less pain was reported at D1 and D2 by RH patients, and levels of analgesia were lower compared to those observed in the VH group. No differences were found regarding the rate of conversion to laparotomy, intra- or postoperative complications.Conclusion. Robotically assisted hysterectomy appears to reduce blood loss, postoperative pain, and length of hospital stay, but it is associated with longer operative time and higher cost. Specific indications for RH remain to be defined.
