RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although surgical resection is the curative treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been discussed due to recent remarkable advances in chemotherapy. The definition of borderline resectable (BR) is most important, where neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be administered. This study aimed to examine a new definition of BR CRLM based on the results of the treatment outcomes. METHODS: This study included 127 patients who underwent liver resection for CRLM after exclusion of conversion cases between April 2010 and December 2023. Upfront resection was performed for synchronous and single liver metastasis or metachronous liver metastases. NAC was administered for multiple synchronous liver metastases. In order to find a new definition of BR, we examined the prognostic factors obtained from the treatment outcomes. RESULTS: CA19-9 level > 37.0 was the only prognostic factor in the upfront group [hazard ratio (HR) 2.386, 95% CI, 1.583-4.769; p = 0.049]. in the NAC group, a maximum tumor diameter ˃3 cm (HR 2.248, 95% CI 1.038-4,867, p = 0.040), CA19-9 level > 37.0 (HR 2.239, 95% CI 1.044-4.800, p = 0.038), and a right-sided primary tumor in the colon (HR 2.770, 95% CI 1.284-5.988, p = 0.009) were identified as significant prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: In cases of CRLM, patients with CA19-9 levels > 37.0, or CA19-9 level with < 37.0 but with a primary tumor in the right colon or a maximum tumor diameter of > 3 cm can be defined as BR CRLM and should be treated with NAC.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Distinguishing colorectal from gastroduodenal perforations is clinically important and challenging. We aimed to establish a scoring model based on objective findings (excluding computed tomography findings) for the diagnosis of colorectal perforation and its differentiation from gastroduodenal perforation. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with colorectal or gastroduodenal perforations between January 2014 and December 2021 were retrospectively studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent variables, and a scoring model was developed based on these variables. RESULTS: Among 131 eligible patients, 64 (48.9%) were in the colorectal group and 67 (51.1%) were in the gastroduodenal group. White blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score were identified as independent clinical variables associated with the diagnosis of colorectal perforation, which differentiated colorectal perforation from gastroduodenal perforation, and were used to develop a new scoring model. The scores ranged from 0 to 5, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.846. The probabilities of colorectal perforation with scores of 0, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, and 5 were 3.2, 20, 55.6, 81.8, 73.9, and 82.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The new scoring model may help in treatment selection and perioperative management of patients with gastrointestinal perforation.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to identify objective factors associated with failure of nonoperative management (NOM) of gastroduodenal peptic ulcer perforation (GDUP) and establish a scoring model for early identification of patients in whom NOM of GDUP may fail. METHODS: A total of 71 patients with GDUP were divided into NOM (cases of NOM success) and operation groups (cases requiring emergency operation or conversion from NOM to operation). Using logistic regression analysis, a scoring model was established based on the independent factors. The patients were stratified into low-risk and high-risk groups according to the scores. RESULTS: Of the 71 patients, 18 and 53 were in the NOM and operation groups, respectively. Ascites in the pelvic cavity on computed tomography (CT) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at admission were identified as independent factors for NOM failure. The scoring model was established based on the presence of ascites in the pelvic cavity on CT and SOFA score ≥2 at admission. The operation rates for GDUP were 28.6% and 86.0% in the low-risk (score, 0) and high-risk groups (scores, 2 and 4), respectively. CONCLUSION: Our scoring model may help determine NOM failure or success in patients with GDUP and make decisions regarding initial treatment.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Appendicectomy is the primary treatment for acute appendicitis. However, extended resection (ER) may be required in difficult cases. Preoperative prediction of ER may identify challenging cases but remains difficult. We aimed to establish a preoperative scoring system for ER prediction during emergency surgery for acute appendicitis. METHODS: This was a single-center retrospective study. Patients who underwent emergency surgery for acute appendicitis between January 2014 and December 2022 were included and divided into ER and appendicectomy groups. Independent variables associated with ER were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. A new scoring system was established based on these independent variables. The discrimination of the new scoring system was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The risk categorization of the scoring system was also analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 179 patients in this study, 12 (6.7%) underwent ER. The time interval from symptom onset to surgery ≥ 4 days, a retrocecal or retrocolic appendix, and the presence of an abscess were identified as independent preoperative predictive factors for ER. The new scoring system was established based on these three variables, and the scores ranged from 0 to 6. The AUC of the scoring system was 0.877, and the rates of ER among patients in the low- (score, 0-2), medium- (score, 4), and high- (score, 6) risk groups were estimated to be 2.5%, 28.6%, and 80%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our scoring system may help surgeons identify patients with acute appendicitis requiring ER and facilitate decision-making regarding treatment options.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The mortality rate of gangrenous/perforated appendicitis is higher than that of uncomplicated appendicitis. However, non-operative management of such patients is ineffective. This necessitates their careful exam at presentation to identify gangrenous/perforated appendicitis and aid surgical decision-making. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a new scoring model based on objective findings to predict gangrenous/perforated appendicitis in adults. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 151 patients with acute appendicitis who underwent emergency surgery between January 2014 and June 2021. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses to identify independent objective predictors of gangrenous/perforated appendicitis, and a new scoring model was developed based on logistic regression coefficients for independent predictors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were performed to assess the discrimination and calibration of the model. Finally, the scores were classified into three categories based on the probability of gangrenous/perforated appendicitis. RESULTS: Among the 151 patients, 85 and 66 patients were diagnosed with gangrenous/perforated appendicitis and uncomplicated appendicitis, respectively. Using the multivariate analysis, C-reactive protein level, maximal outer diameter of the appendix, and presence of appendiceal fecalith were identified as independent predictors for developing gangrenous/perforated appendicitis. Our novel scoring model was developed based on three independent predictors and ranged from 0 to 3. The area under the ROC curve was 0.792 (95% confidence interval, 0.721-0.863), and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a good calibration of the novel scoring model (P = 0.716). Three risk categories were classified: low, moderate, and high risk with probabilities of 30.9%, 63.8%, and 94.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our scoring model can objectively and reproducibly identify gangrenous/perforated appendicitis with good diagnostic accuracy and help in determining the degree of urgency and in making decisions about appendicitis management.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The prognostic impact of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in surgical patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is unclear. This study aimed to confirm the association between postoperative DIC and prognosis and to identify preoperative risk factors associated with postoperative DIC. METHODS: This retrospective study included 52 patients who underwent emergency surgery for NOMI between January 2012 and March 2022. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis with the log-rank test was used to compare 30-day survival and hospital survival between patients with and without postoperative DIC. In addition, univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the preoperative risk factors for postoperative DIC. RESULTS: The 30-day and hospital mortality rates were 30.8% and 36.5%, respectively, and the incidence rate of DIC was 51.9%. Compared to patients without DIC, patients with DIC showed significantly lower rates of 30-day survival (41.5% vs 96%, log-rank P < 0.001) and hospital survival (30.2% vs 86.4%, log-rank, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analyses showed that the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) DIC score (OR = 2.697; 95% CI, 1.408-5.169; P = 0.003) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (OR = 1.511; 95% CI, 1.111-2.055; P = 0.009) were independent risk factors for postoperative DIC in surgical patients with NOMI. CONCLUSION: The development of postoperative DIC is a significant prognostic factor for 30-day and hospital mortalities in surgical patients with NOMI. In addition, the JAAM DIC score and SOFA score have a high discriminative ability for predicting the development of postoperative DIC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis is associated with various comorbidities; nonetheless, its effect on the postoperative complications of colorectal surgery in older patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of atherosclerosis on the postoperative complications of colorectal surgery in older adults with CRC. METHODS: Patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent surgery for CRC between April 2017 and October 2020 were enrolled. To evaluate atherosclerosis, we prospectively calculated the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measured by the blood pressure/pulse wave test and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) score from computed tomography. Risk factors for Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III postoperative complications were evaluated by univariate and logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Overall, 124 patients were included. The mean CAVI value and AAC score were 9.5 ± 1.8 and 7.0 ± 8.0, respectively. Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III postoperative complications were observed in 14 patients (11.3%). CAVI (odds ratio, 1.522 [95% confidence interval, 1.073-2.160], p = 0.019), AAC score (1.083 [1.009-1.163], p = 0.026); and operative time (1.007 [1.003-1.012], p = 0.001) were identified as risk factors for postoperative complications. Based on the optimal cut-off values of CAVI and AAC score, the probability of postoperative complications was 27.8% in patients with abnormal values for both parameters, which was 17.4 times higher than the 1.6% probability of postoperative complications in patients with normal values. CONCLUSIONS: Atherosclerosis, particularly that assessed using CAVI and AAC score, could be a significant predictor of postoperative complications of colorectal surgery in older adults with CRC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Preoperatively diagnosing irreversible intestinal ischemia in patients with strangulated bowel obstruction is difficult. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a prediction model for irreversible intestinal ischemia in strangulated bowel obstruction. METHODS: We included 83 patients who underwent emergency surgery for strangulated bowel obstruction between January 2014 and March 2022. The predictors of irreversible intestinal ischemia in strangulated bowel obstruction were identified using logistic regression analysis, and a prediction model for irreversible intestinal ischemia in strangulated bowel obstruction was established using the regression coefficients. Receiver operating characteristic analysis and fivefold cross-validation was used to assess the model. RESULTS: The prediction model (range, 0-4) was established using a white blood cell count of ≥ 12,000/µL and the computed tomography value of peritoneal fluid that was ≥ 20 Hounsfield units. The areas of the receiver operating characteristic curve of the new prediction model were 0.814 and 0.807 after fivefold cross-validation. A score of ≥ 2 was strongly suggestive of irreversible intestinal ischemia in strangulated bowel obstruction and necessitated bowel resection (odds ratio = 15.938). The bowel resection rates for the prediction scores of 0, 2, and 4 were 15.2%, 66.7%, and 85.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our model may help predict irreversible intestinal ischemia that necessitates bowel resection for strangulated bowel obstruction cases and thus enable surgeons to recognize the severity of the situation, prepare for deterioration of patients with progression of intestinal ischemia, and select the appropriate surgical procedure for treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Prediction of failure of nonoperative management (NOM) in uncomplicated appendicitis (UA) is difficult. This study aimed to establish a new prediction model for NOM failure in UA. METHODS: We included 141 adults with UA who received NOM as initial treatment. NOM failure was defined as conversion to operation during hospitalization. Independent predictors of NOM failure were identified using logistic regression analysis. A prediction model was established based on these independent predictors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to assess the discrimination and calibration of the model, respectively, and risk stratification using the model was performed. RESULTS: Among 141 patients, NOM was successful in 120 and unsuccessful in 21. Male sex, maximal diameter of the appendix, and the presence of fecalith were identified as independent predictors of NOM failure for UA. A prediction model with scores ranging from 0 to 3 was established using the three variables (male sex, maximal diameter of the appendix ≥ 15 mm, and the presence of fecalith). The area under the ROC curve for the new prediction model was 0.778, and the model had good calibration (P = 0.476). A score of 2 yielded a sensitivity of 71.4% and a specificity of 90.8%. Patients were stratified into low (0-1), moderate (2), and high (3) risk categories, which had NOM rates of 5.2%, 47.1%, and 77.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our prediction model may predict NOM failure in UA with good diagnostic accuracy and help surgeons select appropriate treatments.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal surgery in elderly individuals presents unexpected postoperative complications. However, predicting postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries is challenging because of the lack of a reliable preoperative evaluation system. We aimed to prospectively evaluate three new preoperative assessment methods to predict the postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery. Moreover, we aimed to identify new risk factors of postoperative complications in this patient group. METHODS: This prospective cohort study enrolled 189 patients (age ≥ 65 years) who underwent elective gastrointestinal surgery at Tokyo Medical University Hachioji Medical Center between April 2017 and March 2019. Assessments performed preoperatively included the biological impedance analysis for evaluating the skeletal muscle mass, the SF-8 questionnaire for evaluating the subjective health-related quality of life, and the blood pressure/pulse wave test for assessing arteriosclerosis. The risk factors for Clavien-Dindo Grade ≥ III postoperative complications were assessed using these new evaluation methods. RESULTS: Clavien-Dindo Grade ≥ III postoperative complications were observed in 28 patients (14.8%). Univariate and multivariate analyses identified male sex, low skeletal muscle mass, and cardio-ankle vascular index ≥ 10 (arteriosclerosis) as significant independent risk factors of developing Grade ≥ III complications. CONCLUSIONS: Male sex, low skeletal muscle mass, and arteriosclerosis were significant risk factors of postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery. The obtained knowledge could be useful in identifying high-risk patients who require careful perioperative management.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to apply the principles of the "Milan criteria" to patients undergoing hepatic resection for CRLM and to evaluate the efficacy of prognostic factors. METHODS: The medical records of consecutive patients who underwent curative resection for CRLM from April 2007 to April 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Time to aggressive treatment failure (TATF) was defined as the time interval from the initial surgery until the first unresectable recurrence or recurrence that could only be treated with doublet or lower dose chemotherapy, or death. The risk factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS), TSF, TATF, and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. RESULTS: On univariate analysis, the Milan criteria significantly predicted long-term OS, TATF, TSF, and RFS. Moreover, the Milan criteria were able to stratify patients with CRLM into distinct prognostic groups with regard to long-term OS, TATF, TSF, and RFS. CONCLUSIONS: Milan criteria, a simple index, are a factor contributing to all the survival time and are a very important factor in discussing the prognosis of CRLM.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Postoperative complications are not rare in the elderly population after hepatectomy. However, predicting postoperative risk in elderly patients undergoing hepatectomy is not easy. We aimed to develop a new preoperative evaluation method to predict postoperative complications in patients above 65 years of age using biological impedance analysis (BIA). METHODS: Clinical data of 59 consecutive patients (aged 65 years or older) who underwent hepatectomy at our institution between 2017 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors for postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ III) were evaluated using multivariate regression analysis. Additionally, a new preoperative risk score was developed for predicting postoperative complications. RESULTS: Fifteen patients (25.4%) had postoperative complications, with biliary fistula being the most common complication. Abnormal skeletal muscle mass index from BIA and type of surgical procedure were found to be independent risk factors in the multivariate analysis. These two variables and preoperative serum albumin levels were used for developing the risk score. The postoperative complication rate was 0.0% with a risk score of ≤ 1 and 57.1% with a risk score of ≥ 4. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the risk score was 0.810 (p = 0.001), which was better than that of other known surgical risk indexes. CONCLUSION: Decreased skeletal muscle and the type of surgical procedure for hepatectomy were independent risk factors for postoperative complications after elective hepatectomy in elderly patients. The new preoperative risk score is simple, easy to perform, and will help in the detection of high-risk elderly patients undergoing elective hepatectomy.

RESUMO

For pancreatic cancer, the probability of distant metastasis can help choose the best course of treatment. The aim of this study is to establish the efficacy of hydroxyproline as a biomarker for distant metastasis for pancreatic cancer and to clarify the mechanism of EGLN/HIF1A axis that controls the invasion and metastasis. Metabolites (hydroxyproline) and genes (EGLN2 and EGLN3) were identified by metabolome analysis of the serum with pancreatic cancers with and without distant metastasis. The mechanism of EGLN/HIF1A axis including angiogenesis was examined in pancreatic cancer cells. Hydroxyproline associated with these mechanisms was evaluated to suggest the association with overall survival in pancreatic cancer. Decreased expression of EGLN2 and EGLN3 in pancreatic cancer, via the HIF1A and TGF ß1 pathway, was associated with the induction of angiogenic factors, increased vascular invasion, and poor overall patient survival. Hydroxyproline concentrations were regulated via the HIF1A pathway by EGLN2 and EGLN3, and that increased concentrations of hydroxyproline promote the invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells. These results suggested that the expression of hydroxyproline through the HIF1A pathway induced by EGLN2 and EGLN3 could be a surrogate marker for treatment and might predict distant metastasis in pancreatic cancer.

RESUMO

An 85-year-old man was diagnosed with esophagogastric junctional adenocarcinoma, E=G, Type 2, por, 6 cm in size, cT4aN1M0, cStage ⅢA. He had a history of atherosclerosis obliterans and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Considering the comorbidities and life expectancy, we decided to perform chemotherapy without tumor resection. Although the renal function was poor, we chose SP therapy(S-1 80mg/kg/day for 14 days, followed by 7-day rest, CDDP 30mg/kg/day on day 1)because the current status of the patient was satisfactory. The primary tumor remarkably shrank after 2 courses of SP therapy and completely disappeared after 5 courses of SP therapy. There were no adverse events during the entire course of treatment. We detected clinical CR and provided the S-1 monotherapy for another 2 years. The patient has survived with no recurrences for 7 years since the initial chemotherapy. Although intensive chemotherapy regimens are avoided in elderly patients, the patient, in this case, showed a favorable prognosis from powerful chemotherapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic hepatectomy has rapidly evolved and has become a viable alternative to open hepatectomy. However, the dissection of liver parenchyma via the laparoscopic caudal approach (parenchymal transection from the caudal to cranial direction under a laparoscopic caudal view) has several limitations. To avoid these limitations in anatomical hepatectomy along the hepatic vein with the caudal approach, it is important to recognize the "tenting sign of the hepatic vein," which helps to identify the running of the main trunk of the hepatic vein. TECHNICAL PRESENTATION: In the bifurcation of the hepatic vein, there is a possibility of splitting of the hepatic vein branch or disorientation between the main trunk and branch. Therefore, it is vital that when the branch is pulled, the main trunk of the hepatic vein appears to be toward the direction of the branch. As a result, the main trunk appears in the direction from the original route to the pseudo route. In the caudal approach, this phenomenon is called "tenting sign of the hepatic vein." Therefore, liver dissection should be performed in the contralateral and cranial sides of the main trunk, with the "tenting sign of the hepatic vein" in mind. This report describes specific cases of the "tenting sign of the hepatic vein." CONCLUSION: The "tenting sign of the hepatic vein" from the caudal approach is essential knowledge for safe and reliable anatomical laparoscopic hepatectomy and can lead to expansion of indications in the future.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Morbidity following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has been reported to remain high. This study sought to measure the peak Hounsfield units (HUs) of visceral attenuation in patients undergoing PD and to assess the quality of adipocytes by comparing these measurements with perioperative factors. METHODS: Patients undergoing PD were retrospectively identified (n = 108). Abdominal perimeter, subcutaneous fat area (SFA), visceral fat area (VFA), and peak HU of the VFA were measured. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) or complications. Histopathological examination was performed for qualitative diagnosis of the stromal tissue. RESULTS: The overall rate of POPF was 16%, and severe complications occurred in 23% of the cases. A criterion for peak HU of the VFA only independently predicted POPF (p = 0.007) in the multivariate analysis. A criterion for peak HU of the VFA (p = 0.015) was associated with an increased rate of postoperative severe complications in the univariate analysis. The peak HU of the VFA was significantly correlated with abdominal perimeter (p < 0.001) and VFA (p < 0.001). The peak HU of the VFA was significantly correlated with adipocyte diameter (p < 0.001) and the ratio of stromal connective tissue area around the adipocytes (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The peak HU of the VFA was an independent factor contributing to severe complications, including POPF after PD. It reflects the amount of stromal connective tissue around the adipocytes.

RESUMO

A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of a positive occult blood test result and diagnosed as having left transverse colon cancer(cT2N0M0)on detailed examination. The patient underwent a sigmoidectomy for colon cancer 24 years previously. Three-dimensional(3D)-CT angiography was performed before the present operation. The left branch of the middle colic artery, which was independently branched, and the marginal artery of the colon were found to be supplying blood from the left side of the transverse colon to the anastomosis of the sigmoid colon. In addition, the root of the left branch of the middle colic artery arose from the caudal side of the first jejunal vein. Therefore, a left hemicolectomy was performed. In accordance with the preoperative simulation, we safely resected the left branch of the middle colic artery at the root. Intraoperative blood flow evaluation using indocyanine green(ICG)fluorography clearly displayed the demarcation of the oral blood flow and the point of anastomosis. No notable complications occurred after the surgery. The results of the pathological analyses indicated a pT1bN0M0 tumor stage. Therefore, we conclude that 3D-CT angiography and ICG fluorography are useful for performing safer operations for left transverse colon cancers.

RESUMO

We experienced 2 cases in which strontium chloride was used for pain associated with gastric cancer bone metastasis. Case 1 was of a 69-year-old woman. In 2015, she underwent surgery for advanced gastric cancer followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 for 1 year. Multiple bone metastases were confirmed 2 years and 3 months after surgery. Obvious pain relief was obtained after 89Sr was administered, and SOX therapy was started. Case 2 was of a 62-year-old man. In 2016, he underwent curative surgery for stomach cancer. Chemotherapy with S-1 was performed for approximately 6 months, but 9 months after surgery multiple LN metastases, liver metastasis, and multiple bone metastases were observed . In case 2, 89Sr was administered, but good pain control was not obtained. The use of 89Sr for pain relief against multiple bone metastases should be based on the previous literature.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to investigate risk factors for the development of grade C compared to grade B cases of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinicopathological data from 43 patients who developed grade B or C POPF were retrospectively analyzed. The following types of factors were analyzed: Patient-related, surgery-related, and pancreas-related, including the value of the drain amylase and the detection of gram-negative rod bacteria within the first 7 postoperative days (PODs). RESULTS: Univariate analysis showed that male sex (p=0.0492) and detection of gram-negative rods within the first 7 PODs (p=0.0010) were risk factors for development of grade C POPF. Only detection of gram-negative rods within the first 7 PODs was a significant factor after multivariate analysis (p=0.0027). CONCLUSION: Sensitive and specific predictive criteria for early detection of grade C POPF should be developed to allow for a management approach appropriately tailored to this condition.
