Abstract   To compare complications following totally minimally invasive (TMIE), laparoscopically assisted (hybrid) and open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer. Three randomized trials have reported benefits for minimally invasive esophagectomy. Two studies compared TMIE versus open esophagectomy and another compared hybrid versus open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Only small retrospective studies compared TMIE with hybrid Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Methods Data were used from the International Esodata Study Group assessing patients undergoing TMIE, hybrid or open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Primary outcome was pneumonia, secondary outcomes included incidence and severity of anastomotic leakage, (major) complications, length of stay, escalation of care and 90-day mortality. Data were analyzed using multivariate multilevel models. Results In total, 4733 patients were included in this study (TMIE:1472, hybrid:1364 and open:1897). Patients undergoing TMIE had lower incidence of pneumonia compared to hybrid (10.9% vs 16.3%, Odds Ratio (OR):0.56, 95%CI: 0.40–0.80) and open esophagectomy (10.9% vs 17.4%, OR:0.60, 95%CI: 0.42–0.84) and had shorter length of stay (median 10 days (IQR 8–16)) compared to hybrid (14 (11–19), p = 0.041) and open esophagectomy (11 (9–16), p = 0.027). Patients undergoing TMIE had higher rate of anastomotic leakage compared to hybrid (15.1% vs 10.7%, OR:1.47, 95%CI: 1.01–2.13) and open esophagectomy (7.3%, OR:1.73, 95%CI: 1.26–2.38). No differences were reported between hybrid and open esophagectomy. Conclusion Compared to hybrid and open Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, TMIE resulted in a lower pneumonia rate, a shorter hospital length of stay but a higher anastomotic leakage rate. The impact of these individual complications on survival and long-term quality of life should be further investigated.

Abstract Primary Subject area Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Background Surfactant delivery via a thin endotracheal catheter during spontaneous breathing, a technique called minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST), is an alternative to intubation and surfactant administration. Procedural details among different centres vary, with marked differences in the choice of catheter to instill surfactant. Studies report use of feeding catheters, multi-access catheters, vascular catheters and, recently, custom-designed catheters for this purpose. The impact of choice of catheter on procedural success and adverse effects has not been reported. Objectives The objective of the present study was to compare the procedural success and adverse effects of MIST, using a semi-rigid vascular catheter (16G Angiocath-Hobart Method) versus a flexible multi-access catheter (MAC). Design/Methods This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data at a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit in southwestern Ontario. All neonates who received surfactant via MIST between May 1, 2016 and September 30, 2020 were included in the study. Relevant baseline characteristics, data on procedural details (premedication, type of catheter) were collected. The procedural success, number of attempts, and adverse effects between neonates who received MIST via MAC and 16G Angiocath were compared using a Chi Square test or Fisher’s test, as appropriate. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results A total of 139 neonates received surfactant via MIST method during the study period. 93 neonates received the surfactant via MAC, while 46 received it via Angiocath. The baseline demographic characteristics in the two groups were similar (Table 1). A higher proportion of neonates in the Angiocath group received atropine (100% vs. 76%, P =.002] and fentanyl (98% vs. 36%; p<0.001) than the MAC group. The procedural success was 91% in the Angiocath group and 89% in the MAC group (p >.99). Multiple attempts were needed in 24% of neonates in the Angiocath group, and 37% in the MAC group (p=0.158). More episodes of desaturations were noted in the Angiocath group (89%) than the MAC group (69%) (P=0.012). Other rates of common adverse effects were similar between the two groups (Table 2). Conclusion The overall procedural success of MIST was similar in both catheter groups. The proportion of neonates requiring multiple attempts was lower with Angiocath use, though this difference was not statistically significant. Desaturation episodes were seen more frequently in the Angiocath group, possibly related to higher use of procedural sedation in this group.

INTRODUCTION Surgeon-based ultrasonography (SUS) for parathyroid disease has not been widely adopted by British endocrine surgeons despite reports worldwide of accuracy in parathyroid localisation equivalent or superior to radiology-based ultrasonography (RUS). The aim of this study was to determine whether SUS might benefit parathyroid surgical practice in a British endocrine unit. METHODS Following an audit to establish the accuracy of RUS and technetium sestamibi (MIBI) in 54 patients, the accuracy of parathyroid localisation by SUS and RUS was compared prospectively with operative findings in 65 patients undergoing surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). RESULTS The sensitivity of RUS (40%) was below and MIBI (57%) was within the range of published results in the audit phase. The sensitivity (64%), negative predictive value (86%) and accuracy (86%) of SUS were significantly greater than RUS (37%, 77% and 78% respectively). SUS significantly increased the concordance of parathyroid localisation with MIBI (58% versus 32% with RUS). CONCLUSIONS SUS improves parathyroid localisation in a British endocrine surgical practice. It is a useful adjunct to parathyroid practice, particularly in centres without a dedicated parathyroid radiologist, and enables more patients with pHPT to benefit from minimally invasive surgery.

Nasogastric Decompression

Abstract Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated the impact of nasogastric decompression (NGD) on gastric tube size to optimize the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol after McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). Methods: Overall, 640 patients were divided into two groups according to nasogastric tube (NGT) placement intraoperatively. Using propensity score matching, 203 pairs of individuals were identified for gastric tube size comparisons on postoperative days (PODs) 1 and 5. Results: Gastric tubes were larger in the non-NGD group than the NGD group on POD 1 (vertical distance from the right edge of the gastric tube to the right edge of the thoracic vertebra, 22.2 [0–34.7] vs. 0 [0–22.5] mm, p <0.001). No difference was noted between the groups on POD 5 (18.5 [0–31.7] vs. 18.0 [0–25.4] mm, p =0.070). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that non-NGD was an independent risk factor for gastric tube distention on POD 1. No difference in the incidence of complications (Clavien–Dindo（CD）≥2) (40 (23.0%) vs. 46 (19,8%), p =0.440), pneumonia (CD≥2) (29 [16.8%] vs. 30 [12.9%], p =0.280) or anastomotic leakage (CD≥3) (3 [1.7%] vs. 6 [2.6%], p =0.738) were noted between the without gastric tube distention group and with gastric tube distention group. Conclusion: Intraoperative NGT placement reduces gastric tube distention rates after McKeown MIE on POD 1, but the complications are similar to those of unconventional NGT placement. This finding is based on NGT placement or replacement at the appropriate time postoperatively through bedside chest X-ray examination.

Abstract Background: Minimally invasive repair is a better option for Achilles tendon rupture with low re-rupture and wound-related complications than conservative treatment or traditional open repair. The major problem is sural nerve injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect and advantage of the intraoperative ultrasonography assistance for minimally invasive repair of the acute Achilles tendon rupture.Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 36 cases of acute Achilles tendon rupture treated with minimally invasive repair assisted with intraoperative ultrasonography from January 2015 to December 2017. The relationship of the sural nerve and small saphenous vein was confirmed on the preoperative MRI. The course of the small saphenous vein and sural nerve were identified and marked by intraoperative ultrasonography. The ruptured Achilles tendon was repaired with minimally invasive Bunnell suture on the medial side of the SSV.Results: All patients were followed up for at least 12 months. No sural nerve injury or other complications was found intraoperatively and postoperatively. All the patients returned to work and light sporting activities at a mean of 12.78±1.40 weeks and 17.28±2.34 weeks, respectively. The Mean AOFAS scores improved from 59.17±5.31 preoperatively to 98.92±1.63 at the time of 12 months follow-up. There was statistically significant difference (P<0.001). No patient complained a negative effect on their life.Conclusions: The minimally invasive repair assisted with intraoperative ultrasonography can yield good clinical outcomes, less surgical time and less complications, especially sural nerve injury. It is an efficient, reliable and safe method for acute AT rupture.
