RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Whether the benefits of the robotic platform in bariatric surgery translate into superior surgical outcomes remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective study was to establish the 'best possible' outcomes for robotic bariatric surgery and compare them with the established laparoscopic benchmarks. METHODS: Benchmark cut-offs were established for consecutive primary robotic bariatric surgery patients of 17 centres across four continents (13 expert centres and 4 learning phase centres) using the 75th percentile of the median outcome values until 90 days after surgery. The benchmark patients had no previous laparotomy, diabetes, sleep apnoea, cardiopathy, renal insufficiency, inflammatory bowel disease, immunosuppression, history of thromboembolic events, BMI greater than 50 kg/m2, or age greater than 65 years. RESULTS: A total of 9097 patients were included, who were mainly female (75.5%) and who had a mean(s.d.) age of 44.7(11.5) years and a mean(s.d.) baseline BMI of 44.6(7.7) kg/m2. In expert centres, 13.74% of the 3020 patients who underwent primary robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and 5.9% of the 4078 patients who underwent primary robotic sleeve gastrectomy presented with greater than or equal to one complication within 90 postoperative days. No patient died and 1.1% of patients had adverse events related to the robotic platform. When compared with laparoscopic benchmarks, robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass had lower benchmark cut-offs for hospital stay, postoperative bleeding, and marginal ulceration, but the duration of the operation was 42 min longer. For most surgical outcomes, robotic sleeve gastrectomy outperformed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with a comparable duration of the operation. In robotic learning phase centres, outcomes were within the established benchmarks only for low-risk robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. CONCLUSION: The newly established benchmarks suggest that robotic bariatric surgery may enhance surgical safety compared with laparoscopic bariatric surgery; however, the duration of the operation for robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is longer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an emerging bariatric procedure currently performed under general anaesthesia with orotracheal intubation (OTI). Several studies have shown the feasibility of advanced endoscopic procedures under deep sedation (DS) without impacting patient outcomes or adverse event rates. Our goal was to perform an initial comparative analysis of ESG in DS with ESG under OTI. METHODS: A prospective institutional registry was reviewed for ESG patients between 12/2016 and 1/2021. Patients were stratified into OTI or DS cohorts, and the 1st 50 cases performed in each cohort were included for comparability. Univariate analysis was performed on demographics, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes (up to 90 days). Multivariate analyses evaluated the relationship between anesthesia type, preclinical and clinical variables. RESULTS: Of the 50 DS patients, 21(42%) underwent primary and 29 (58%) revisional surgery. There was no significant differences in Mallampati score across groups. No DS patient required intubation. DS patients were younger (p = 0.006) and lower BMI (p = 0.002) than OTI. As expected, DS patients overall and in the primary subgroup had shorter operative time (p ≤ 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively) and higher rates (84% DS vs. 20% OTI, p ≤ 0.001) of ambulatory procedures. There were no significant differences in the sutures used between groups (p = 0.616). DS patients required less postoperative opioids (p ≤ 0.001) and antiemetics (p = 0.006) than OTI. There were no significant differences in 3-month postoperative weight loss across cohorts. There was no rehospitalization in either group. In primary ESG cases, we found DS patients were more likely younger (p = 0.006), female (p = 0.001), and had a lower BMI (p = 0.0027). CONCLUSIONS: ESG under DS is safe and feasible in select patients. We found DS safely increased rates of outpatient care, reduced use of opioids and antiemetics, and provided the same results of postoperative weight loss. Patient selection for DS may be more clearer for durable weight loss.

RESUMO

Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide. Procedure difficulty and patient outcomes depend on several factors which are not considered in the current literature, including the learning curve, generating confusing and subjective results. This study aims to create a scoring system to calculate the learning curve of LC based on hepatobiliopancreatic (HPB) experts' opinions during an educational course. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was submitted to the panel of experts attending the HPB course at Research Institute against Digestive Cancer-IRCAD (Strasbourg, France) from 27-29 October 2022. Experts scored the proposed variables according to their degree of importance in the learning curve using a Likert scale from 1 (not useful) to 5 (very useful). Variables were included in the composite scoring system only if more than 75% of experts ranked its relevance in the learning curve assessment ≥4. A positive or negative value was assigned to each variable based on its effect on the learning curve. Results: Fifteen experts from six different countries attended the IRCAD HPB course and filled out the questionnaire. Ten variables were finally included in the learning curve scoring system (i.e., patient body weight/BMI, patient previous open surgery, emergency setting, increased inflammatory levels, presence of anatomical bile duct variation(s), and appropriate critical view of safety (CVS) identification), which were all assigned positive values. Minor or major intraoperative injuries to the biliary tract, development of postoperative complications related to biliary injuries, and mortality were assigned negative values. Conclusions: This is the first scoring system on the learning curve of LC based on variables selected through the experts' opinions. Although the score needs to be validated through future studies, it could be a useful tool to assess its efficacy within educational programs and surgical courses.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a prediction score for internal hernia (IH) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The clinical diagnosis of IH is challenging. A sensitivity of 63% to 92% was reported for computed tomography (CT). METHODS: Consecutive patients admitted for abdominal pain after RYGB and undergoing CT and surgical exploration were included retrospectively. Potential clinical predictors and radiological signs of IH were entered in binary logistic regression analysis to determine a predictive score of surgically confirmed IH in the Geneva training set (January 2006-December 2014), and validated in 3 centers, Geneva (January 2015-December 2017) and Neuchâtel and Strasbourg (January 2012-December 2017). RESULTS: Two hundred twenty-eight patients were included, 80 of whom (35.5%) had surgically confirmed IH, 38 (16.6%) had a negative laparoscopy, and 110 (48.2%) had an alternate diagnosis. In the training set of 61 patients, excess body weight loss >95% (odds ratio [OR] 6.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-39.96), swirl sign (OR 8.93, 95% CI: 2.30-34.70), and free liquid (OR 4.53, 95% CI: 1.08-19.0) were independent predictors of IH. Area under the curve (AUC) of the score was 0.799. In the validation set of 167 patients, AUC was 0.846. A score ≥2 was associated with an IH incidence of 60.7% (34/56), and 5.3% (3/56) had a negative laparoscopy. CONCLUSIONS: The score could be incorporated in the clinical setting. To reduce the risk of delayed IH diagnosis, emergency explorative laparoscopy in patients with a score ≥ 2 should be considered.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Recently, there has been a burgeoning interest in the utilization of customized bariatric stents (CBS) for management of sleeve gastrectomy leak (SGL). We aimed to conduct a proportion meta-analysis to evaluate the cumulative efficacy and safety of these new stents and to compare them with the conventional esophageal stents (CES). METHODS: A systematic literature search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases was conducted through May 1, 2020. Primary outcomes were technical and clinical success and post-procedure adverse events of CBS and CES. Secondary outcomes were number of stents and endoscopic sessions per patient, and time to leak closure. A proportion meta-analysis was performed on outcomes using a random-effects model, and the weighted pooled rates (WPRs) or mean difference with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. RESULTS: The WPR with 95% CI of technical success, clinical success, and stent migration for CBS were 99% (93-100%) I2 = 34%, 82% (69-93%) I2 = 58%, and 32% (17-49%), I2 = 69%, respectively. For CES, the WPR (95% CI) for technical success, clinical success, and stent migration were 100% (97-100%) I2 = 19%, 93% (85-98%) I2 = 30%, and 15% (7-25%), I2 = 41%, respectively. Adverse events other than migration were very low with both types of stents. On proportionate difference, CBS had lower clinical success (11%) and higher migration rate (17%) in comparison to CES. In successfully treated patients, CBS was associated with lower mean number of stents and endoscopic sessions, and shorter time to leak closure compared to CES. The overall quality of evidence was very low. CONCLUSIONS: In treatment of SGL, there is very low level evidence that CES are superior to CBS in terms of clinical success and migration rate, though may require more stent insertions and endoscopic procedures. The evidence however remains very uncertain. Perhaps relevant to some types of stents, CBS are promising; however design modification is strongly recommended to improve outcomes.

RESUMO

Objective. Preoperative imaging in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is essential for planning of parathyroidectomy-particularly for selection of a minimally invasive approach. The objective of this cohort study was to evaluate the diagnostic precision of 3D virtual neck exploration (3D-VNE), to evaluate its impact on choice of surgical approach, and to document the correlation with long-term outcomes. Methods. 235 consecutive patients with PHPT were studied (January 2014 to December 2018), with 6-month follow-up. 220 patients had a preoperative computed tomography (CT), 172 of these had a 3D-VNE based on the CT, and 226 patients had a Tc-99m sestamibi scan. Results. Sensitivity of exact, per gland, adenoma localization was 57.09% (95% CI: 50.85-63.10%) for nonspecialized radiologist interpretation of CT scan, 58.17% (95% CI: 51.99-64.10%) for Tc-99m sestamibi scan, and 90.21% (95% CI: 85.21-93.64%) for 3D-VNE, and thereby favoring 3D-VNE compared to CT scan alone (OR 34.5, 95% CI: 9.19-290.56%, P < 2.2 × 10-16) and to Tc-99m sestamibi scan (OR 16.25, 95% CI: 6.05-61.42%, P = 3.1 × 10-15). Specificity was 87.38% for CT scan, 86.36% for 3D-VNE, and 90% for Tc-99m sestamibi scan (P > .05). The cure rate was 100%. The long-term recurrence rate (RR) was 2.978%. The RR was 1.324% in the video-assisted parathyroidectomy group of 151 patients and 5.952% in the group of 84 patients with cervicotomy (P = .0459). Conclusion. CT-based 3D-VNE proved to be the most accurate localizing study in PHPT and aided in selecting patients for targeted minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, which was associated with the lower recurrence rate. 3D-VNE could be proposed as a first-line imaging study in patients with PHPT.

RESUMO

Despite the advantages that robot-assisted surgery can offer to patient care, its use in ophthalmic surgery has not yet progressed to the extent seen in other fields. As such, its use remains limited to research environments, both basic and clinical. The technical specifications for such ophthalmic surgical robots are highly challenging, but rapid progress has been made in recent years, and recent developments in this field ensure that the use of this technology in operating theatres will soon be a real possibility. Fully automated ocular microsurgery, carried out by a robot under the supervision of a surgeon, is likely to become our new reality. This review discusses the use of robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery, the recent progress in the field, and the necessary future developments which must occur before its use in operating theatres becomes routine.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a promising bariatric treatment. Gastric volume reduction and delayed gastric emptying are the probable mechanisms driving weight loss. However, there are concerns regarding the overtime ESG effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between endoscopic gastroplasty integrity overtime and weight loss. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients undergoing follow-up endoscopy (6 and 12 months) after ESG were included. ESG were classified in three groups according to endoscopic appearance: open when all the stiches were loose; partially intact if at least one stitch was loose; intact if all the stitches were present and tight. Initial BMI, excess weight loss (%EWL) and total weight loss (%TWL) at 6 and 12 months were assessed against gastroplasty endoscopic appearance. RESULTS: From October 2016 to April 2019, 133 patients underwent ESG, 87 (65.4%) had a follow-up EGD at 6 months. ESG was open in six cases (6.9%), partially intact in 38 (43.7%) and intact in 43 (49.4%). The overall %EWL and %TWL was 34.5 ± 19.8 and 13.2 ± 7.4, respectively; 25.7 ± 26.9 and 11.8 ± 11.8 for the open group, 30.8 ± 20.1 and 12.4 ± 7.8 for the partially intact group; 39.1 ± 19.7 and 14.0 ± 6.4 for the intact gastroplasty. Forty-one patients underwent a 12 months endoscopy: 10 (24.4%) had an intact ESG, 24 (58.5%) had a partially intact gastroplasty, and in 7 (17.0%) cases the sutures were lost. Overall %EWL and %TWL at 12 months was 34.3 ± 21.9 and 13.1 ± 8.1: 19.3 ± 13.4 and 8.9 ± 6.1 for the open group; 36.0 ± 24.2 and 13.1 ± 8.9 for the partially intact group; 40.3 ± 17.3 and 17.2 ± 5.4 for the intact group. ESG appearance correlated with preoperative BMI (r 0.34; p 0.001) and %EWL at 6 months (r 0.22; p 0.035) and 12 months (r 0.29; p 0.065). CONCLUSION: This preliminary work shows that weight loss correlates with ESG endoscopic appearance over time. Initial BMI predicts endoscopic suture duration over time. Larger studies and longer follow-up are needed.

RESUMO

Introduction. Connected systems transmitting vital parameters could well represent a tool to shorten postoperative hospital stay while providing continuous remote patient monitoring and potentially detect the onset of complications. Our aim was to analyze the functionality of a transcutaneous biosensing data collection patch in morbidly obese patients. Materials and Methods. An adhesive patch (The HealthPatch MD™) was applied to patients' chests postoperatively. The patch was connected to a tablet via a bluetooth network to collect the heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and posture recognition data. The tablet conveyed data to a secure health data central server by means of a WiFi or 3G/4G transmission. Data were stored in a digital health platform to which health care professionals could connect. The evaluation focused on the volume, quality, and security of data transmission. A pilot phase involved 10 patients. Thirty-three additional patients undergoing bariatric surgery were included in the experimental phase. Results. The mean length of stay was 2.28 days (range: 2-5 days). The mean time of patch application was 51 ± 25.2 hours per patient (range: 19-139 hours), totalizing 1,683 hours of recording for the 33 patients included. During this time, a total of 7.562.531 data measurement points were collected and transmitted to the e-health platform via the patch. Two total disconnections and two partial disconnections were observed. The acquisition of patient postural data was unreliable. Conclusions. Connected telemetry for remote postoperative monitoring is promising. However, it is still limited by data transmission problems.

RESUMO

Surgical technique is essential to ensure safe minimally invasive adrenalectomy. Due to the relative rarity of adrenal surgery, it is challenging to ensure adequate exposure in surgical training. Surgical video analysis supports auto-evaluation, expert assessment and could be a target for automatization. The developed ontology was validated by a European expert consensus and is applicable across the surgical techniques encountered in all participating centres, with an exemplary demonstration in bi-centric recordings. Standardization of adrenalectomy video analysis may foster surgical training and enable machine learning training for automated safety alerts.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Data on the diagnostic value of 18F-FDOPA PET/CT in patients with insulinoma are limited and are focused on small patient populations explored using different PET/CT protocols and the inconsistent use of carbidopa premedication. The aim of this study was to improve the current knowledge about the diagnostic value of 18F-FDOPA PET/CT combined with oral carbidopa premedication and early pancreatic imaging for tumour localization in patients with insulinoma-related hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH). The relationships among 18F-FDOPA quantitative uptake parameters, insulin secretion and tumour pathological features were also investigated. METHODS: Of 34 patients with suspicion of insulinoma-related HH examined by dual time-point carbidopa-assisted 18F-FDOPA PET/CT, 24 with histologically proven insulinoma were retrospectively included. One patient underwent two PET/CT examinations for relapsing insulinoma after surgical excision. Thus, 25 preoperative 18F-FDOPA PET/CT studies were finally retained and analysed. All studies were performed under carbidopa premedication (200 mg orally, 1-2 h prior to tracer injection). The PET/CT acquisition protocol included an early acquisition (5 min after 18F-FDOPA injection) over the upper abdomen and a delayed whole-body acquisition starting 20-30 min later. The cytological and/or histopathological diagnosis of insulinoma was the diagnostic standard of truth. RESULTS: 18F-FDOPA PET/CT localized insulinoma in 21 of the 25 studies, leading to a primary lesion detection rate of 84%. Four lesions (19%) were detected only on early acquisitions. The false-negative tumour detection rates were, respectively, 22% and 12.5% in patients receiving and not receiving treatment for hypoglycaemic symptoms at the time of PET/CT. In benign insulinomas, the early maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was significantly higher than the delayed SUVmax. Compared to the 21 benign lesions, four malignant insulinomas showed significantly higher 18F-FDOPA uptake. Lesion size, fasting-end insulin and C-peptide levels correlated with tumour 18F-FDOPA uptake, dopaminergic tumour volume and metabolic burden. CONCLUSION: The present study showed that 18F-FDOPA PET/CT combined with carbidopa premedication and early pancreatic acquisitions is a valuable diagnostic option in patients with insulinoma when GLP1R-based imaging is not available. The results also provide new insights into the relationships between tumour secretion and imaging phenotype in insulinomas.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Frozen section is the standard method to histologically distinguish parathyroid tissue from thyroid tissue during endocrine neck surgery. Frozen section can be time-consuming and costly. Its drawback is that it is to be performed only after the removal of a suspected pathological tissue. This study demonstrates the use of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) to confirm histology prior to tissue resection. DESIGN: A prospective, single-institution, nonrandomized study was conducted. No sample size calculation was performed for this observational trial. The primary objective was the description of histological rendering of normal and pathological tissues through pCLE. Real-time in vivo fluorescence microscopy imaging was performed with the CystoFlex UHD probe after intravenous injection of 2.5 mL of 10% fluorescein sodium. RESULTS: Eleven patients with hyperparathyroidism and thyroid conditions were included. A total of 104 videos showing thyroid, parathyroid, adipose tissue, muscle, laryngeal nerve, and lymph nodes were recorded. Videos were compared with visual information and pathological samples (when sampling was indicated). Thyroid tissue could be identified based on the presence of colloid follicles (intensely fluorescent area surrounded by a small ridge of low-fluorescence epithelial cells) including the pathognomonic aspect of resorption vacuole. Parathyroid tissue could be identified based on a regular, "diamond-shaped" capillary network encompassing parathyroid chief cells. Blinded reinterpretation of pCLE videos demonstrated an 89.3% sensitivity and a 90% specificity as compared with histology in tissue recognition. CONCLUSION: This pilot study describes representative renderings of intraoperative pCLE to nontraumatically differentiate thyroid, parathyroid, and lymph nodes before surgical removal.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to prospectively evaluate NIR-C, VR-AR, and x-ray intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) during robotic cholecystectomy. BACKGROUND: Near-infrared cholangiography (NIR-C) provides real-time, radiation-free biliary anatomy enhancement. Three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) biliary anatomy models can be obtained via software manipulation of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, enabling preoperative VR exploration, and intraoperative augmented reality (AR) navigation. METHODS: Fifty-eight patients were scheduled for cholecystectomy for gallbladder lithiasis. VR surgical planning was performed on virtual models. At anesthesia induction, indocyanine green was injected intravenously. AR navigation was obtained by overlaying the virtual model onto real-time images. Before and after Calot triangle dissection, NIR-C was obtained by turning the camera to NIR mode. Finally, an IOC was performed. The 3 modality performances were evaluated and image quality was assessed with a Likert-scale questionnaire. RESULTS: The three-dimensional VR planning enabled the identification of 12 anatomical variants in 8 patients, of which only 7 were correctly reported by the radiologists (P = 0.037). A dangerous variant identified at VR induced a "fundus first" approach. The cystic-common bile duct junction was visualized before Calot triangle dissection at VR in 100% of cases, at NIR-C in 98.15%, and in 96.15% at IOC.Mean time to obtain relevant images was shorter with NIR-C versus AR (P = 0.008) and versus IOC (P = 0.00000003). Image quality scores were lower with NIR-C versus AR (P = 0.018) and versus IOC (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: This high-tech protocol illustrates the multimodal imaging of biliary anatomy towards precision cholecystectomy. Those visualization techniques could complement to reduce the likelihood of biliary injuries (NCT01881399).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) has become widely used. This study evaluates outcomes of LVHR, with particular reference to complications, seromas, and long-term recurrence. METHODS: A review of a prospective database of consecutive patients undergoing LVHR with intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) was performed at a single institution. Patient's characteristics, surgical procedures, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed and related to long-term recurrence. RESULTS: From 2005 to 2014, 417 patients underwent LVHR. Mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 54 years and 31 kg/m2. Mesh fixation was carried out with transfascial sutures, completed with absorbable tacks (72 %), metal tacks (24 %), or intraperitoneal sutures (4 %). Intraoperative complications occurred in three patients. Overall morbidity included 8.25 % of minor complications and 2.5 % of major complications without mortality. The overall recurrence rate was 9.8 %. Median time for recurrence was 15.3 months (3-72) and median follow-up was 31.6 months (8-119). In a multivariate analysis, previous interventions (OR 1.44; CI 1.15-1.79; p = 0.01), postoperative complications (OR 2.57; CI 1.09-6.03; p = 0.03), and Clavien-Dindo score >2 (OR 1.43; CI 1.031-1.876; p = 0.02) appeared as independent prognostic factors of recurrence. Minor complications were associated with 14.7 % of recurrence and major complications with 30 % of recurrence. Emergency LVHR (6 %) did not increase the rate of complications. Overall seroma rate was 18.7 %, with 1.4 % of persisting or complicated seroma. BMI (OR 1.05; CI 1.01-1.08; p = 0.026) and vascular surgery history (OR 5.74; CI 2.11-15.58; p < 0.001) were independent predictive factors for seroma. Recurrence did not appear to be related to seroma. CONCLUSION: LVHR combines the benefits of laparoscopy with those of mesh repair. Seroma formation should no longer be considered as a complication. It is spontaneously regressive in most cases. Postoperative complications and their degree of severity appear to be independent prognostic factors for recurrence, which can be limited with a standardized technique and may make IPOM-LVHR a reference procedure.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: (18)F-FDOPA PET imaging is increasingly used in the work-up of patients with neuroendocrine tumours. It has been shown to be of limited value in localizing pancreatic insulin-secreting tumours in adults with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) mainly due to (18)F-FDOPA uptake by the whole pancreatic gland. The objective of this study was to review our experience with (18)F-FDOPA PET/CT imaging with carbidopa (CD) premedication in patients with HH in comparison with PET/CT studies performed without CD premedication in an independent population. METHODS: A retrospective study including 16 HH patients who were investigated between January 2011 and December 2013 using (18)F-FDOPA PET/CT (17 examinations) in two academic endocrine tumour centres was conducted. All PET/CT examinations were performed under CD premedication (200 mg orally, 1 - 2 h prior to tracer injection). The PET/CT acquisition protocol included an early acquisition (5 min after (18)F-FDOPA injection) centred over the upper abdomen and a delayed whole-body acquisition starting 20 - 30 min later. An independent series of eight consecutive patients with HH and investigated before 2011 were considered for comparison. All patients had a reference whole-body PET/CT scan performed about 1 h after (18)F-FDOPA injection. In all cases, PET/CT was performed without CD premedication. RESULTS: In the study group, (18)F-FDOPA PET/CT with CD premedication was positive in 8 out of 11 patients with histologically proven insulinoma (73 %). All (18)F-FDOPA PET/CT-avid insulinomas were detected on early images and 5 of 11 (45 %) on delayed ones. The tumour/normal pancreas uptake ratio was not significantly different between early and delayed acquisitions. Considering all patients with HH, including those without imaging evidence of disease, the detection rate of the primary lesions using CD-assisted (18)F-FDOPA PET/CT was 53 %, showing 9 insulinomas in 17 studies performed. In the control group (without CD premedication, eight patients), the final diagnosis was benign insulinoma in four, nesidioblastosis in one, and no definitive diagnosis in the remainder. (18)F-FDOPA PET/CT failed to detect any tumour in these patients. CONCLUSION: According to our experience, CD administration before (18)F-FDOPA injection leads to low residual pancreatic (18)F-FDOPA activity preserving tumoral uptake with consequent insulinoma detection in more than half of adult patients with HH and more than 70 % of patients with a final diagnosis of insulinoma. If (18)F-FDOPA PET/CT is indicated, we strongly recommend combining CD premedication with early acquisition centred over the pancreas.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of age on weight loss and on related glycolipid profile changes at 2-year follow-up after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS: From 2005 to 2010, a total of 308 consecutive patients undergoing LSG were enrolled. Mean age was 39.7 ± 10.7 years, mean weight was 127.9 ± 24.5 kg, and mean body mass index (BMI) was 45.9 ± 6.8 kg/m(2). Patients were divided into three age groups: young (18-29 years, n = 64), intermediate (30-49 years, n = 183), and senior (50-68 years, n = 61). BMI, excess weight loss (%EWL), and several biochemical examinations for the evaluation of glycolipid profile transition, including homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), were assessed at 6, 12, and 24 months (M6, M12, and M24) after LSG. RESULTS: All three groups had a significant BMI reduction and %EWL at 2 years' follow-up. The young group obtained significantly better %EWL at M6, M12, and M24 (62.6 ± 14.4, 73.4 ± 17.1, and 72.5 ± 18.9 %) compared to intermediate (53.2 ± 18.0, 64.8 ± 19.9, and 66.8 ± 23.0 %) and senior group (48.0 ± 15.5, 54.6 ± 15.3, and 54.4 ± 15.4 %). Fasting serum glucose levels improved significantly in all three groups at all follow-up assessment points (M6, M12, and M24). A significant improvement in HbA1c was also observed in the three groups at M6 and M12, while at M24 only patients in the young and intermediate groups still presented a significantly improved glycemic control. A significantly lower HOMA-IR improvement was observed at M6 in the senior group (2.83 ± 1.86) compared to both young (1.30 ± 0.54) and intermediate (1.43 ± 0.82) groups of patients. Total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was significantly improved only in the young group. CONCLUSIONS: An age-dependent trend toward better %EWL and glycolipid profile improvement was observed in young patients after LSG.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess postoperative outcomes of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Short-term results on vitamin D and parathormone (PTH) metabolism are reported. METHODS: One hundred patients were randomly assigned to RYGB (n = 45) or SG (n = 55). Vitamin D, PTH, and calcium were assessed at inclusion and after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months (M1, M3, M6, and M12). Eighty-eight patients completed 1-year follow-up. RESULTS: Mean postoperative excess weight loss (%EWL) at M1, M3, M6, and M12 was 25.39, 43.47, 63.75, and 80.38 % versus 25.25, 51.32, 64.67, and 82.97 % in RYGB and SG, respectively. Vitamin D values were statistically significantly higher after SG compared to RYGB at M3 (61.57 pmol/L, standard deviation [SD] 14.29 vs. 54.81 SD 7.65; p = 0.01) and M12 (59.83 pmol/L, SD 6.41 vs. 56.15 SD 8.18; p = 0.02). Vitamin D deficiency rate decreased from 84.62 to 35 % at M6 (p = 0.04) and 48 % at M12 (p = 0.01) in the SG group, while there was no significant improvement in the RYGB group. Serum parathyroid hormone (sPTH) level was decreased significantly in the SG group by M3 (44.8 ng/L vs. 28.6; p = 0.03), M6 (44.9 ng/L vs. 25.8; p = 0.017), and M12 (41.4 ng/L vs. 20.5; p = 0.017). Secondary hyperparathyroidism rate was 20.83 and 24 % at M1 (p = 1), 16.67 and 8 % at M3 (p = 0.41), 14.29 and 0 % at M6 (p = 0.08), and 15 and 0 % at M12 (p = 0.23) in the RYGB and SG groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Patients after RYGB had a significantly higher postoperative vitamin D deficiency and higher sPTH levels than after SG.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to assess the feasibility of minimally invasive digestive anastomosis using a modular flexible magnetic anastomotic device made up of a set of two flexible chains of magnetic elements. The assembly possesses a non-deployed linear configuration which allows it to be introduced through a dedicated small-sized applicator into the bowel where it takes the deployed form. A centering suture allows the mating between the two parts to be controlled in order to include the viscerotomy between the two magnetic rings and the connected viscera. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Eight pigs were involved in a 2-week survival experimental study. In five colorectal anastomoses, the proximal device was inserted by a percutaneous endoscopic technique, and the colon was divided below the magnet. The distal magnet was delivered transanally to connect with the proximal magnet. In three jejunojejunostomies, the first magnetic chain was injected in its linear configuration through a small enterotomy. Once delivered, the device self-assembled into a ring shape. A second magnet was injected more distally through the same port. The centering sutures were tied together extracorporeally and, using a knot pusher, magnets were connected. Ex vivo strain testing to determine the compression force delivered by the magnetic device, burst pressure of the anastomosis, and histology were performed. RESULTS: Mean operative time including endoscopy was 69.2 ± 21.9 min, and average time to full patency was 5 days for colorectal anastomosis. Operative times for jejunojejunostomies were 125, 80, and 35 min, respectively. The postoperative period was uneventful. Burst pressure of all anastomoses was ≥ 110 mmHg. Mean strain force to detach the devices was 6.1 ± 0.98 and 12.88 ± 1.34 N in colorectal and jejunojejunal connections, respectively. Pathology showed a mild-to-moderate inflammation score. CONCLUSIONS: The modular magnetic system showed enormous potential to create minimally invasive digestive anastomoses, and may represent an alternative to stapled anastomoses, being easy to deliver, effective, and low cost.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Revisional surgery may be required in a high percentage of patients (up to 30 %) after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). We report our institutional experience with revisional surgery. METHODS: From January 1996 to November 2011, 90 patients underwent revisional surgery after failed LAGB. Both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were proposed. In the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophageal dysmotility, hiatal hernia, or diabetes, RYGB was preferentially proposed. RESULTS: In two cases, revisional surgery was aborted due to local severe adhesions. Eighty-eight patients (74 females; mean age 42.79 ± 10.03 years; mean BMI 44.73 ± 6.19 kg/m(2)) successfully underwent revisional SG (n = 48) or RYGB (n = 40). One-stage surgery was performed in 29 cases. Follow-up rate was 78.2 % (n = 61) and 40.9 % (n = 36) at 12 and 24 months respectively. One major complication after SG (staple-line leakage) was observed. Overall postoperative excess weight loss (%EWL) was 31.24, 40.92, 52.41, and 51.68 % at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months of follow-up respectively. There was a statistically significant higher %EWL at 1 year in patients <50 years old (55.9 vs. 41.5 % in patients >50 years old; p = 0.01), of female gender (55.22 vs. 40.73 % in male; p = 0.04), and in patients in which the AGB was in place for <5 years (57.09 vs. 47.43 % if >5 years p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Revisional surgery is safe and effective. Patients <50 years, of female gender, and with the AGB in place for <5 years had better %EWL after revisional surgery.
