RESUMO
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine the outcomes of surgery performed for bowel endometriosis including shaving, discoid resections with hand sewn closure, and segmental resection. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Large academic hospital PATIENTS: All patients with bowel wall endometriosis who underwent surgical excision with the Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) between 2009 and 2022. INTERVENTIONS: No interventions administered. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: From 2009 to 2022, a total of 112 patients underwent laparoscopic excision of endometriosis involving the rectum. From this cohort, 82 underwent shaving, 23 underwent discoid excision, and 7 had segmental bowel resection. The discoid excisions were closed in multiple layers with hand sewing and were not closed with a staple device. Average lesion size on preoperative imaging was 20.9 mm in the shave group, 22.5 mm in the discoid group and 38.5 mm in the segmental group. Complication requiring reoperation for anastomotic leak occurred in 3 cases (3.66%) of the shave group and 1 case (4.35%) of the discoid excision group, but did not occur in any of the segmental resections. The number of layers of closure and type of suture used did not appear to have an effect on complication rate, however this study was not powered to detect a meaningful difference. CONCLUSION: Our data shows a similar rate of anastomotic leak complication for each closure type as that reported in the literature (2.2%, 9.7% and 9.9% reported for shave, discoid and segmental resection respectively). While our study is underpowered, these findings support that hand sewing for discoid excision is a safe and reasonable alternative to circular stapler closures and can be considered with an experienced surgeon. Further study is warranted to confirm safety and explore potential cost savings associated with this technique as well as applications in areas with less resources available.
RESUMO
Vertebral tumors in patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) have a low diagnostic rate and poor postoperative outcomes. The application of 68 Ga-DOTATATE-PET/CT significantly increased the detection rate. Compared with tumor curettage, segmental resection was recommended as the preferred surgical type due to its high recovery rate. PURPOSE: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an acquired hypophosphatemic osteomalacia, and surgery is the first-line therapy. Most TIO tumors are found in the bones of the appendicular skeleton, cranium, and paranasal sinuses but rarely in the vertebrae. Tumor curettage and segmental resection are the two main surgical options for vertebral TIO patients. However, research on the clinical characteristics and surgical prognosis of vertebral TIO patients is rare. In the present study, for the first time, we investigated the clinical characteristics of 16 vertebral TIO patients and compared the surgical outcomes of patients who underwent surgery via two different surgical methods. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. In this study, we included 16 adult TIO patients with lesions in vertebrae from Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), all of whom underwent surgery. Baseline laboratory data were collected through medical records review. Technetium-99 m octreotide scintigraphy (99Tcm-OCT) and 68gallium-DOTA-TATE-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (68 Ga-DOTATATE-PET/CT) were conducted at the Department of Nuclear Medicine of PUMCH. The tumor histopathology was confirmed by a senior pathologist at our center. RESULTS: Vertebral TIO patients had lower serum phosphorus and TmP/GFR and higher serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), and serum C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ß-CTX) levels than the normal range. The sensitivity of 68 GaâDOTATATE PET/CT was 100%, significantly greater than that of 99Tcm-OCT (40%). After comparing the outcomes between the two surgical methods, we found that the recovery rate after segmental resection (62.5%) was greater than that after tumor curettage (12.5%). In the thoracic and sacral vertebrae, segmental resection surgery had a good prognosis. CONCLUSION: 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT could serve as the first diagnostic tool in patients with vertebral TIO, and segmental resection could be used as the preferred surgery. This study would raise awareness of the clinical features and management of these rare vertebral TIO patients.
RESUMO
Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is a challenging and evolving aspect of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. In recent years, several medications apart from those traditionally associated with MRONJ such as bisphosphates (BPs) and Denosumab (DMB) have been implicated in bony necrosis of the jaw. This aim of this report is to demonstrate a significant case of bone necrosis following dental extractions on a patient being treated with infliximab therapy for Crohn's disease. Several cases in literature have reported MRONJ associated with infliximab but very few patients have developed as significant a form of the disease as seen in this report. Previous investigators have proposed pathophysiological pathways via which TNF-α inhibitors such as infliximab have a causative mechanism for MRONJ. When osteoclastic activity is restricted via these pathways, bone healing is impaired and MRONJ can occur. However, it remains a diagnostic challenge to differentiate between antiresorptive MRONJ and chronic osteomyelitis with bone necrosis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency. This case aims to illustrate why the antiresorptive effects of TNF-α inhibitors need to be considered as a possible primary driver of bone necrosis in such patients.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To compare postoperative complications in women undergoing total hysterectomy with segmental resection (TH-SR) for intestinal endometriosis with or without protective defunctioning stoma (PDS) confection. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study conducted at the Gynecologic department of University Hospital of Lille (France) from January 2008 to January 2022 in patients undergone TH-SR for bowel endometriosis. RESULTS: 100 women were considered for the analysis. PDS were performed in 56 women. The rate of rectal resections was significantly higher in the PDS group (p = 0.03). The mean operative time, AAGL scores and length of hospital stay were significantly higher in the PDS group (p = 0.002). The rate of grade III complication according to Clavien-Dindo classification was higher in the PDS group (p = 0.03). Among digestive complications, one case of anastomosis leakage (1.8%) and one case of recto-vaginal fistula (2.3%) was recorded in the non-PDS group, 4 cases of anastomosis stenosis were recorded in the PDS group (7.1%). Persisting bladder atony requiring self-catheterization over one month was the most common disturb (4.6% in the non-PDS group and 7.1% in the PDS group, p = 0.58). The distance of digestive lesion from anal margin was the only risk factor for digestive complications, persistent bladder atony, Clavien-Dindo IIIA and IIIB complications at the multivariate analysis (p = 0.04 and p = 0.06 respectively). CONCLUSION: No statistically significant differences were found in the rate of digestive complications in case of total hysterectomy and concomitant segmental resection when performing or not preventing stoma.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Presence of deep infiltrating bowel endometriosis (DE) is associated with occurrence of dyschezia and gastrointestinal symptoms. The degree of the disease, the lesion length, and the location, that is, lesion-to-anal-verge distance (LAVD) of DE, as well as the severity of the symptoms appear to be correlated. Nevertheless, it is not yet known to what extent the size and LAVD of bowel DE influence the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms. The present study aims to evaluate a possible correlation of lesion location (LAVD) and size (according to the #Enzian classification) with preoperative symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this prospective study, premenopausal patients with histologically confirmed DE undergoing modified limited nerve-vessel sparing rectal segmental bowel resection or full-thickness discoid resection were evaluated. Extent of endometriosis was defined according to the #Enzian classification during surgery. The primary outcome measure was the correlation between lesion size and location with the GI function impairment reflected by presurgical lower anterior resection syndrome (LARS) scores; the secondary outcome was differences in presurgical numeric rating scale pain scores of dyschezia, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea as well as the impact of concomitant DE of other locations on symptom intensity. RESULTS: Of 162 consecutive patients, 151 were included in the final analysis. No significant correlation was observed between lesion size (#Enzian compartments C1/C2/C3) or LAVD and GI dysfunction reflected by LARS-like symptoms (p = 0.314 and p = 0.185, respectively) or pain symptoms (dyschezia, p = 0.440; dyspareunia, p = 0.136; and dysmenorrhea p = 0.221). Furthermore, no significant correlation was observed between lesion size and GI dysfunction when merging two severity grades (#Enzian compartments C1 plus C2 vs. C3; p = 0.611). In addition, LAVD did not affect the degree of dyschezia (p = 0.892), dyspareunia (p = 0.395), or dysmenorrhea (p = 0.705). Finally, the presence of concomitant DE lesions infiltrating the vagina/rectovaginal space (#Enzian compartment A) and/or sacrouterine ligaments/parametrium (#Enzian compartment B) did not alter the severity of preoperative dyschezia (p = 0.493) or dysmenorrhea (p = 0.128) but showed a trend toward affecting gastrointestinal function (p = 0.078) and was significantly associated with dyspareunia (p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS: In present study, we could not find a correlation between colorectal DE lesion size and location (LAVD) and gastrointestinal function impairment or intensity of dyschezia and dysmenorrhea. Additional involvement of vagina/rectovaginal space (#Enzian compartment A) and/or sacrouterine ligaments/parametrium (#Enzian compartment B) exerts a significant impact on the degree of dyspareunia in women with colorectal DE.

INTRODUCTION: Odontogenic fibromyxoma (OFM) is a round and locally invasive neoplasm predominantly seen in the mandible. Though radiographic appearance is variable, definitive diagnosis is based on correlation with histopathological examination. Surgical approach is the treatment of choice. For reconstruction, patient-specific implant (PSI) has lately been developed as a crucial help. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report presents a 19 year old female patient with odontogenic fibromyxoma highlighting its clinical, radiographic, histopathological features along with rehabilitation using patient specific implants reducing the complexity and related morbidities of reconstructive procedures. DISCUSSION: Surgical repair and reconstruction of defects in cranio-maxillofacial region is challenging. The described treatment eliminates the need for bone grafting, shows optimal results owing to the shorter rehabilitation time and more accurate fits. CONCLUSION: This report introduces a novel technique whereby patient-specific implants are employed as the primary method of reconstruction following segmental resection.
RESUMO
Introduction and Objective: Kidney-sparing surgery (KSS) for upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) has gained increasing interest recently. However, there is limited contemporary data regarding the role of KSS in ureteral urothelial carcinoma. Therefore, we investigated the survival outcomes of ureteral urothelial carcinoma after KSS from a large, prospective international UTUC registry. Methods: The Clinical Research Office of the Endourology Society-Urothelial Carcinomas of the Upper Tract (CROES-UTUC) Registry included patients with UTUC who received KSS or radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) between 2014 and 2019. In this study, we included patients with ureteral UTUC only. Study outcomes included overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), upper tract recurrence-free survival (RFS), intravesical RFS, progression-free survival (PFS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS). Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance the tumor features' differences between groups. Results: Of the 391 patients with ureteral UTUC, 309 (79.0%) received RNU and 82 (21.0%) received KSS by ureteroscopy with laser ablation (n = 28) or segmental resection (n = 54). After PSM, there were no differences in OS (p = 0.525), CSS (p = 0.487), upper tract RFS (p = 0.147), intravesical RFS (p = 0.989), PFS (p = 0.617), and MFS (p = 0.336) between KSS and RNU. There were no significant differences between ureteroscopic ablation and segmental resection in OS, CSS, intravesical RFS, PFS, and MFS with RNU. Proximal ureteral UTUC had worse OS and CSS outcomes than other tumor locations following segmental resection. Conclusions: In patients with ureteral UTUC, no significant differences in long-term survival outcomes were observed between KSS and RNU. Proximal ureteral UTUC had worse survival outcomes over other tumor locations following segmental resection.
RESUMO
Introduction: Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare condition. Most of the time, it is asymptomatic; but it can cause severe complications such as intestinal perforation, mechanical occlusion, and hemorrhage. Case presentation: A patient aged 78 years, with a history of biological aortic valve prosthesis, atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presented in the emergency department for acute abdominal pain in the lower abdominal floor, nausea, and inappetence. Abdominal computed tomography revealed an inflammatory block in the hypogastrium, agglutinated small intestinal loops, fecal stasis, and air inclusions. Pulled mesentery and associated internal hernia are suspected. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, revealing an inflammatory block in the hypogastrium, whose dissection revealed inner purulent collection and the appearance of jejunal diverticulitis, a diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination. Segmental resection of the jejunum with double-layer terminal-terminal enteroenteric anastomosis, lavage, and drainage was performed. The evolution was favorable. Conclusion: Based on our brief review, the diagnosis of complicated jejunal diverticulosis is difficult and sometimes not accurately established, even by high-resolution imaging techniques, with diagnostic laparotomy being necessary for these situations. Surgical treatment should be considered before severe complications develop.
RESUMO
To compare the oncological survival outcome between extended resections (ER) and segmental resection (SR) for non-metastatic splenic flexure tumors. A total of 10,063 splenic flexure colon cancers patients who underwent ER (n = 5546) or SR (n = 4517) from 2010 to 2018 were included from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-registered database. Additionally, we included 135 patients from our center who underwent ER (n = 54) or SR (n = 81) between 2011 and 2021. Survival rates were compared between groups. To reduce the inherent bias of retrospective studies, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed. In the SEER database, patients in the ER group exhibited higher pT stage, pN stage, larger tumor size, and elevated rates of CEA level, perineural invasion, and tumor deposits compared to those in the SR group (each P < 0.05). The 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate was slightly lower in the ER group than in the SR group (79.2% vs. 81.6%, P = 0.002), while the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were comparable between the two groups (66.2% vs. 66.9%, P = 0.513). After performing PSM, both the 5-year CSS and 5-year OS rates were comparable between the ER and SR groups (5-year CSS: 84.9% vs. 83.0%, P = 0.577; 5-year OS: 70.6% vs. 66.0%, P = 0.415). These findings were consistent in the subgroup analysis that included only patients with stage III disease or tumor size ≥ 7 cm. Furthermore, although the number of harvested lymph nodes was higher in the ER group compared to the SR group (14.4 vs. 12.7, P < 0.001), the number of invaded lymph nodes remained similar between the two groups (0.5 vs. 0.5, P = 0.90). Similarly, our center's data revealed comparable 3-year OS and 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates between the two groups. ER have no significant oncological benefits over SR in the treatment of non-metastatic splenic flexure colon cancer, even for locally advanced cases.
RESUMO
Bowel endometriosis is the most common form of severe deep endometriosis. Surgery is an option in case of infertility and/or chronic pain or in the presence of a stenotic lesion. Clinical examination and preoperative imaging must provide an identity card of the lesion so that customized surgery can be proposed. The primary objective of this tailor-made surgery will always be to preserve the organ. The surgeon then has three options: shaving, discoid resection and segmental resection. The more extensive the resection, the greater the risk of severe short- and long-term complications. Surgery must therefore be adapted to the patient's specific situation and needs. Moreover, personalized care must extend beyond surgery. It must begin before the operation, preparing the patient for the operation like an athlete before a race, and continue afterwards by adapting the follow-up to the surgery performed.

Surgery for deep endometriosis with colorectal involvement is an option after medical treatment failure. Over the past decade, robotic laparoscopy has emerged as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy. We aimed to evaluate surgical outcomes of robotic versus conventional laparoscopy for discoid excision and segmental resection. From 2019 to 2023, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 152 consecutive patients with colorectal endometriosis who underwent robotic or conventional laparoscopy for discoid excision and colorectal resection. Ninety of the patients 152 underwent robotic surgery and 62 conventional laparoscopy. The mean total surgical room occupancy and operating times were longer in the robotic group: 270 ± 81 min vs 240 ± 79 min, p = 0.010, and 216 ± 78 min vs 190 ± 76, p = 0.027, respectively. The mean intraoperative blood loss, and the incidence of intra- and postoperative complications (according to Clavien-Dindo classification) were similar in the two groups. The mean hospital stay was greater after conventional laparoscopy (8 ± 5 vs 7 ± 4 days; p = 0.03), and the rate of persistent voiding dysfunction was higher in the conventional group (9/11, 25% vs 2/11, 5%; p = 0.01). A higher incidence of persistent voiding dysfunction was also observed after segmental resection by conventional laparoscopy (25% vs 4.8%, p = 0.01). Our results support the use of robotic surgery as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy for discoid excision and segmental resection for colorectal endometriosis.

OBJECTIVES: Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is characterized by abnormal connectivity between the posterior wall of the trachea or bronchus and the adjacent anterior wall of the oesophagus. Benign TEF can result in serious complications; however, there is currently no uniform standard to determine the appropriate surgical approach for repairing TEF. METHODS: The PubMed database was used to search English literature associated with TEF from 1975 to October 2023. We employed Boolean operators and relevant keywords: 'tracheoesophageal fistula', 'tracheal resection', 'fistula suture', 'fistula repair', 'fistula closure', 'flap', 'patch', 'bioabsorbable material', 'bioprosthetic material', 'acellular dermal matrix', 'AlloDerm', 'double patch', 'oesophageal exclusion', 'oesophageal diversion' to search literature. The evidence level of the literature was assessed based on the GRADE classification. RESULTS: Nutritional support, no severe pulmonary infection and weaning from mechanical ventilation were the 3 determinants for timing of operation. TEFs were classified into 3 levels: small TEF (<1 cm), moderate TEF (≥1 but <5 cm) and large TEF (≥5 cm). Fistula repair or tracheal segmental resection was used for the small TEF with normal tracheal status. If the anastomosis cannot be finished directly after tracheal segmental resection, special types of tracheal resection, such as slide tracheoplasty, oblique resection and reconstruction, and autologous tissue flaps were preferred depending upon the site and size of the fistula. Oesophageal exclusion was applicable to refractory TEF or patients with poor conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The review primarily summarizes the main surgical techniques employed to repair various acquired TEF, to provide references that may contribute to the treatment of TEF.

Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) compose the major part of congenital lung malformations (CLM) and have traditionally been treated by pulmonary lobectomy. In terms of surgical strategy, lobectomy has conventionally been the preferred treatment for CPAM localized to a single lobe. More recently, alternative approaches including lung-sparing resections (LSR), such as wedge or non-anatomic resections and segmentectomy, have been suggested. In asymptomatic CPAM early surgical resection is often shown to reduce infection and malignancy development. We describe two patients who were diagnosed with CPAM when being evaluated for respiratory tract infection. Patient 1 (P1) was a two-month-old infant weighing 4 kg with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and Patient 2 (P2) was a toddler aged one year, nine months weighing 9 kg. P1 underwent LSR for the CPAM diagnosed in the left upper lobe of the lung with conventional mechanical ventilation whilst right upper lobectomy was performed in P2 using one/single lung ventilation. In both cases, LSR and right upper lobectomy led to an uneventful postoperative recovery with no complications reported.
RESUMO
We report a case of intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) that metachronously developed twice in the downstream bile duct after radical resection. The first lesion was located in the left intrahepatic bile duct, the second lesion in the perihilar bile duct, and the third lesion in the distal bile duct. All lesions were IPNBs with associated invasive carcinoma (pancreatobiliary type). The depth of invasion was to the Glisson's capsule in the first lesion, to the subserosa in the second lesion, and to the fibromuscular layer in the third lesion, without lympho-vascular/perineural invasion and lymph-node metastasis. These were resected radically and had no biliary intraepithelial neoplasia and hyperplasia in the surrounding mucosa. In immunohistochemical examination, each lesion showed a different pattern. Although the downstream occurrence suggests intrabiliary dissemination, the mechanism of these metachronous developments may be multicentric. A literature review revealed that most metachronous cholangiocarcinomas have a grossly papillary appearance and tend to arise downstream. Our findings suggest that IPNB may develop metachronously in the residual bile duct after radical surgery, which may assist in early detection.

INTRODUCTION: There is an ongoing debate on surgical techniques for colorectal deep endometriosis (DE) and their effects on gastrointestinal (GI) function. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the differences in pre- and postsurgical GI function, health profiles and pain symptoms in women undergoing colorectal surgery for symptomatic DE either with a modified segmental resection technique, so-called nerve-vessel sparing segmental resection (NVSSR), or full thickness discoid resection (FTDR). Complication rates and fertility outcomes were also evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 162 consecutive patients, 125 (77.2%) of whom underwent NVSSR and 37 (22.8%) FTDR, were evaluated regarding complication rates. Furthermore a lower anterior resection syndrome (LARS) scores, gastrointestinal function-related quality of life index (GIQLI), pain symptoms, endometriosis health profile (EHP-30) parameters were analyzed pre- and post-surgery in a final cohort of 121 patients. RESULTS: There was no difference between postsurgical prevalence of LARS in either surgery group (14/98, 14.1% NVSSR; 2/23, 8.6% FTDR), with significantly decreased LARS scores and increased GIQLI values before vs after surgery in both groups (P < 0.001). The overall grade III complication rate was 7/162 (4.3%) with no significant differences between NVSSR and FTDR groups. Overall, EHP-30 and pain scores significantly decreased after a median follow-up of 41 (± 17.6) months (EHP-30 51.1, SD 21.5 vs 12.7, SD 19.3, P < 0.001; dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia all P < 0.001 both cohorts, respectively). The overall life birth rate and postsurgical pregnancy in infertile patients undergoing NVSSR and FTDR was respectively 58.1% in 25/43 patients; 55.6% in 5/9 patients; 56.0% in 14/25 patients and 100% in 5/5 patients. CONCLUSIONS: NVSSR and FTDR for symptomatic colorectal DE confer a significant amelioration of GI function reflected by decreased LARS symptoms and increased GIQLI scores with no differences in postsurgical function in between the two techniques. Both techniques confer similar complication rates and effects on pain reduction and health profiles.

Background: Second primary colorectal cancer (CRC) is attributed to a crucial component of the CRC population. Still, its treatments remain unclear due to the troublesome conditions originating from multiple primary cancers and the lack of quality evidence. This study aimed to determine that which type of surgical resection is the eligible treatment for second primary CRC among patients with a prior cancer history. Methods: This cohort study retrospectively collected patients with second primary stage 0-III CRC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2000 to 2017. Prevalence of surgical resection in second primary CRC, overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) of patients who received different surgical interventions were estimated. Results: A total of 38,669 patients with second primary CRC were identified. Most of the patients (93.2%) underwent surgical resection as initial treatment. Approximately 39.2% of the second primary CRCs (N = 15,139) were removed with segmental resection, while 54.0% (N = 20,884) were removed through radical colectomy/proctectomy. Surgical resection was associated with a significantly favorable OS and DSS compared to those not receiving any surgical operations for second primary CRC [OS: adjusted Hazard ratios (adjusted HR): 0.35; 95% CI: 0.34-0.37, p < 0.001; DSS: adjusted HR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.25-0.29, p < 0.001]. Segmental resection considerably outperformed radical resection in terms of OS and DSS (OS: adjusted HR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.91-1.00, p = 0.07; DSS: adjusted HR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.87-0.97, p = 0.002). Segmental resection was also associated with a significantly reduced cumulative mortality of postoperative non-cancer comorbidities. Conclusion: Surgical resection demonstrated excellent oncological superiority for second primary CRC and was used to remove the vast majority of second primary CRCs. In comparison to radical resection, segmental resection offered a better prognosis and reduced postoperative non-cancer complications. The second primary colorectal cancers should be resected if the patients can afford surgical operations.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: It is difficult and risky for patients with a single lung to undergo thoracoscopic segmental pneumonectomy, and previous reports of related cases are rare. We introduce anesthesia for Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-assisted thoracoscopic lower lobe subsegmental resection in a patient with a single left lung. CASE SUMMARY: The patient underwent comprehensive treatment for synovial sarcoma of the right lung and nodules in the lower lobe of the left lung. Examination showed pulmonary function that had severe restrictive ventilation disorder, forced expiratory volume in 1 second of 0.72 L (27.8%), forced vital capacity of 1.0 L (33%), and maximal voluntary ventilation of 33.9 L (35.5%). Lung computed tomography showed a nodular shadow in the lower lobe of the left lung, and lung metastasis was considered. After multidisciplinary consultation and adequate preoperative preparation, thoracoscopic left lower lung lobe S9bii+S10bii combined subsegmental resection was performed with the assistance of total intravenous anesthesia and ECMO intraoperative pulmonary protective ventilation. The patient received postoperative ICU supportive care. After surgical treatment, the patient was successfully withdrawn from ECMO on postoperative Day 1. The tracheal tube was removed on postoperative Day 4, and she was discharged from the hospital on postoperative Day 15. CONCLUSION: The multi-disciplinary treatment provided maximum medical optimization for surgical anesthesia and veno-venous ECMO which provided adequate protection for the patient's perioperative treatment.
RESUMO
Unicystic ameloblastoma is a slow-growing tumor originating from the odontogenic epithelium that can be localized within the lining of a cyst. It commonly affects younger individuals and is frequently found in the posterior mandible. The classification of this tumor is based on histopathological characteristics, distinguishing between the luminal, intraluminal, and mural proliferation of the odontogenic epithelium. Treatment options vary depending on the histology and can range from enucleation to resection with secondary reconstruction. In recent years, patient-specific implants have gained popularity in reconstructive surgeries, particularly in craniomaxillofacial surgery. This case report focuses on a 22-year-old female patient with a mural-type unicystic ameloblastoma. The treatment involved segmental mandibular resection with primary reconstruction using a patient-specific implant to address the mandibular defect. The postoperative healing process and condylar movement were evaluated, and the patient achieved satisfactory results. This case report provides valuable insights into the management of primary reconstruction using a patient-specific implant.
RESUMO
Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PISCC) arising from dentigerous cysts (DCs) is rare. Herein, we present a rare case of a 35 year-old Japanese man with PISCC arising from a DC. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for malignant changes to SCC in asymptomatic DCs and should conduct follow-up. Moreover, histological examination of the entire specimen should be performed even if the lesion is suspected to be benign.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: There is an ongoing debate regarding the extent of resection for splenic flexure tumors (SFT). The purpose of this study was to compare segmental and extended resections in terms of overall survival (OS) and pathologic outcomes. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients surgically treated for SFT in the National Cancer Database (NCDB) for the period 2010-2019. Outcomes of segmental and extended resections were compared and a 1:1 propensity score matching was used to match for confounders. Primary outcome was OS. RESULTS: In total 3498/668,852 (0.5%) patients with clinical stage I-III splenic flexure adenocarcinoma in the NCDB were included. Of these, 1533 (43.8%) underwent segmental resection while 1965 (56.1%) underwent extended resection. After matching, mean OS was similar between the groups (92 vs 91 months; p = 0.94). When survival was stratified by clinical N stage, an 8-month survival benefit was shown in the extended resection group for clinical N-positive status (86 vs 78); however, this difference did not achieve statistical significance (p = 0.078). Median number of harvested lymph nodes was significantly lower in the segmental resection group (16 vs 17; p < 0.001) and the percentage of patients with fewer than 12 harvested nodes was significantly higher (18.4% vs 11.6%; p < 0.001). Length of stay was significantly shorter in the segmental resection group (5 vs 6 days; p = 0.027). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of 30-day readmission or 30- or 90-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS: While segmental and extended resections were associated with similar OS for clinically node-negative SFT, there might be a survival benefit for extended resection in patients with clinical evidence of lymph node involvement.
