RESUMO
Although single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has gained some attention as a feasible alternative to conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery (MPLS) in colonic surgery, it became less prevalent than expected. Hence, we conducted this systematic review to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and oncological outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC) with meta-analysis and discussion of the future prospect of SILS. The search was conducted from September to October 2023 using PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Articles on colorectal cancer comparing SILC with multiport laparoscopic colectomy (MPLC) from all randomized controlled trials and comparative studies with 50 patients or more per arm were examined. The primary outcomes were the intra- and postoperative complication rates, and the secondary outcomes were the perioperative and oncological outcomes. The trends of the SILS number in Japan and the trends of the number of articles on SILS in PubMed were also reviewed. There were no significant differences in perioperative complication rates, operative factors, and oncological outcomes between SILC and MPLC, although heterogeneity was observed mainly in operative factors and the total length of the skin incision was significantly shorter in SILC. Therefore, SILC is technically and oncologically feasible and safe when performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons. The case number of SILS was gradually increasing but the rate of SILS was decreasing in Japan. The number of articles on SILS was also decreasing. SILS has gained foothold to some extent but has plateaued. The emerging new robotic platform may reappraise the concept of SILS.
RESUMO
Background: Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a recent advancement in minimally invasive techniques for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, SILS is a technically challenging procedure for novice surgeons. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes of SILS for CRC performed by novice surgeons compared with those performed by well-experienced surgeons. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1004 consecutive patients with stage I-IV CRC who underwent SILS between May 2009 and December 2018, using propensity score-matched analysis. Results: After propensity score-matching, we enrolled 344 patients (n = 172 in each group). Before matching, significant group-dependent differences were observed in terms of age (P = 0.034) and tumor location (P < 0.001). After matching, preoperative clinical factors were similar between groups, but operative time was longer in the Novice group (213 vs 171 min, P < 0.001). Other operative factors and morbidity rates did not differ significantly between groups. The number of harvested lymph nodes was smaller in the Novice group (23 vs 25, P = 0.040), and the number of patients with lymph node metastases was smaller in the Novice group (57 vs 86, P = 0.002). The 3-year disease-free survival rate was 85.8% in the Novice group and 89.9% in the Experienced group (P = 0.512). Three-year overall survival rate was 92.2% in the Novice group and 90.0% in the Experienced group (P = 0.899). Conclusion: SILS for CRC was safely performed by novice surgeons under the guidance of well-experienced surgeons, and could provide satisfactory oncological outcomes.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Single-incision laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation for descending colon cancer is technically challenging. Standardization of the surgical procedures is therefore needed. METHODS: In a Trendelenburg position with left side elevated, the sigmoid mesocolon is mobilized using a medial-to-lateral approach, and the left colic artery and inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) are divided after radical lymphadenectomy along the inferior mesenteric artery, preserving the superior rectal artery. The descending mesocolon is mobilized from the retroperitoneal planes up to the dorsal surface of the pancreas using medial and lateral approaches. Next, changing the surgical position to a reverse Trendelenburg position with left side elevated, the omental bursa is opened, and the transverse mesocolon is separated from the inferior border of the pancreas. The splenocolic ligament and lateral attachment are then divided, matching the previous medial dissection of the retroperitoneum, and the splenic flexure is fully mobilized. The IMV is divided again at the inferior border of the pancreas. The left branch of the middle colic artery is also divided. RESULTS: Forty-seven consecutive patients with DCC underwent single-incision laparoscopic CME with CVL. One patient required an additional port. Median operative time, blood loss, and number of harvested lymph nodes were 240 min (interquartile range [IQR], 195-257 min), 5 mL (IQR, 5-52 mL), and 21 (IQR, 13-29), respectively. Morbidity rate was 5.9%. Median duration of hospitalization was 9 days (IQR, 7-11 days). CONCLUSIONS: Single-incision laparoscopic CME with CVL is safe and feasible for DCC.

BACKGROUND: The clinical impact of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for descending colon cancer (DCC) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of SILS for DCC compared with multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 137 consecutive patients with stage I-III DCC who underwent SILS or MPLS at two high-volume multidisciplinary tertiary hospitals between April 2008 and December 2018, using propensity score-matched analysis. RESULTS: After propensity score-matching, we enrolled 88 patients (n = 44 in each group). SILS was successful in 97.7% of the matched cohort. Compared with the MPLS group, the SILS group showed significantly less blood loss and a greater number of harvested lymph nodes. Morbidity rates were similar between groups. Recurrence pattern did not differ between groups. No significant differences were found between groups in terms of 3-year disease-free and overall survivals. CONCLUSION: SILS appears safe and feasible and can provide satisfactory oncological outcomes for patients with DCC.

PURPOSE: Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) proteins are both molecular targets for cancer therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression status of FGFR2 and HER2 in patients with gastric cancer (GC) or colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: Archived tumor tissue samples from patients with histologically-confirmed GC or CRC suitable for chemotherapy were analyzed for FGFR2 and HER2 expression using immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization (HER2 in CRC only). RESULTS: A total of 176 GC patients and 389 CRC patients were enrolled. Among patients with GC, 25.6% were FGFR2-positive and 26.1% were HER2-positive. Among patients with CRC, 2.9% were FGFR2-positive and 16.2% were HER2-positive. No clear relationship was found between FGFR2 and HER2 status in either GC or CRC. In GC, FGFR2 and HER2 statuses did not differ between different primary cancer locations, whereas there were some differences between histological types. Based on FGFR2- and/or HER2-positive status, 117 patients were identified as potentially suitable for inclusion in clinical trials of therapeutic agents targeting the relevant protein (GC = 45, CRC = 72; FGFR = 56, HER2 = 62), of whom 7 were eventually enrolled into such clinical trials. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicated the prevalence of FGFR2 and HER2 in GC and CRC in the Japanese population. The screening performed in this study could be useful for identifying eligible patients for future clinical trials of agents targeting these proteins.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the right colic vascularity, focusing on the confluences of veins. METHODS: The subjects of this retrospective study were 100 patients who underwent laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy (Lap-ERHC) between April 2015 and September 2020, at our hospitals. Veins draining into the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) included the ileocecal vein (ICV), the right colic vein (RCV), the middle colic vein (MCV), and the gastrocolic trunk of Henle (GCT). Veins draining into vessels other than the SMV were defined as accessory colic veins (aICV, aRCV or aMCV). RESULTS: The GCT, aRCV, and aMCV were found in 86, 89, and 15 patients, respectively. In 66 patients with one aRCV, drainage was split as the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal vein (ASPDV) in 12, the right gastroepiploic vein (RGEV) in 7, and the GCT in 47. In 23 patients with two aRCVs, drainage was split as the ASPDV in 4, the RGEV in 1, the GCT in 11, and the ASPDV and GCT in 7. In 14 patients with one aMCV, drainage was split as the GCT in 8, the splenic vein in 5, and the first jejunal vein (FJV) in 1. One patient had two aMCVs, draining into the GCT and the FJV. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of our evaluation of vascular anatomy, focusing on confluences of the colic veins, provides useful information for colorectal surgeons.

BACKGROUND: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for rectal cancer is technically challenging, and its clinical impact is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes of SILS for rectal cancer compared with multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 357 consecutive patients with stage I-III rectal cancer located in the rectosigmoid or upper rectum who underwent SILS or MPLS between January 2012 and December 2016, using propensity score-matched analysis. RESULTS: After propensity score-matching, we enrolled 204 patients (n = 102 per group). Before matching, significant group-dependent differences were observed in tumor location (p < 0.001). After matching, preoperative clinical factors were similar between groups. SILS was successful in 73.5% of cases, an additional port was required in 23.5%, and 2.9% were converted to open surgery. Compared to the MPLS group, the SILS group showed shorter operative time (192 vs. 211 min, p = 0.015) and shorter postoperative hospital stay (9 vs. 11 days, p = 0.038). Other operative factors and morbidity rates did not differ significantly between groups. The number of harvested lymph nodes was smaller in the SILS group (24) than in the MPLS group (27, p = 0.008). Postoperative recurrence did not differ between groups, either before or after matching. No significant differences in 3-year disease-free, 3-year local recurrence-free, or 5-year overall survival were found between groups. CONCLUSIONS: SILS is safe, is feasible, and offers satisfactory oncological outcomes in selected patients with rectosigmoid or upper rectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Long-term outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC) for colon cancer (CC), as practiced in real-world settings, especially in relation to disease stage, have not been established. We examined, retrospectively, both short- and long-term outcomes of SILC versus those of multiport laparoscopic colectomy (MPLC) performed for CC in a propensity-score-matched cohort. METHODS: The study involved 263 patient pairs matched 1:1 from among 691 patients who, between January 2008 and May 2014, underwent either SILC or MPLC for a primary solitary CC at our hospital. Short-term and long-term operative outcomes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Operation time was the only surgical outcome that varied significantly between the two groups (p = 0.0004). Overall 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) in the SILC group was 93.7 (95% CI 89.6-96.2)%, and CSS per pathological stage (I, II and III) was 98.5 (90.0-99.8)%, 96.0 (88.2-98.7)%, and 88.3 (79.6-93.6)%, respectively, whereas overall 5-year CSS in the MPLC group was 93.3 (89.4-95.9)%, and CSS per pathological stage was 100%, 95.4 (88.3-98.3)%, and 84.1 (74.1-90.8)% (p = 0.5278, 0.2679, 0.7666, and 0.9073), respectively. Overall 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) in the SILC group was 94.0 (90.2-96.4)%, and 3-year DFS per pathological stage was 98.6 (90.4-99.8)%, 90.1 (81.4-95.0)%, and 79.0 (69.4-86.2)%, respectively, whereas overall 3-year DFS in the MPLC group was 93.2 (89.4-95.7)%, and 3-year DFS per pathological disease stage was 100%, 94.5 (87.4-97.7)% and 75.5 (64.7-83.8)% (p = 0.2829, 0.7401, 0.4335 and 0.8518), respectively. Thus, oncological outcomes did not differ significantly between groups. Incisional hernia occurred in 21 (8.0%) SILC group patients and 17 (6.5%) MPLC group patients, without a significant between-group difference (p = 0.6139). CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that perioperative and oncological outcomes of SILC performed for CC are comparable to those of MPLC performed for CC.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to clarify usefulness of the modified Frailty Index 11 (mFI-11) for assessing risk of postoperative complications (POCs) and effectiveness of perioperative management team (POMT) intervention for improving postoperative status of frail aged patients requiring colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. METHODS: We compared, retrospectively, surgical outcomes among 151 consecutive CRC surgery patients aged ≥80 years. Patients were grouped by mFI-11 scores and by POMT intervention (vs. no POMT intervention). RESULTS: POCs were more prevalent, postoperative stays were longer, and discharge status was poorer among high-risk (mFI-11 ≥ 3/11) patients without POMT intervention than among low-risk (mFI-11 ≤ 2/11) patients (p = 0.04, p = 0.02, p < 0.01). Multiple POCs occurred less frequently and performance of activities of daily living was better for high-risk patients with (vs. those without) POMT intervention (p = 0.04, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: POMT intervention appears beneficial for frail aged patients scheduled for CRC surgery.

PURPOSE: This retrospective study was conducted to compare the long-term outcomes of single-incision totally extraperitoneal (S-TEP) inguinal hernia repair and conventional multiport totally extraperitoneal (M-TEP) inguinal hernia repair. METHODS: The study population included 186 consecutive patients (S-TEP, n = 149; M-TEP, n = 37) who underwent elective surgery for inguinal hernia at Osaka Police Hospital between 2011 and 2013. RESULTS: No significant between-group difference was found in patient or hernia characteristics or in perioperative outcomes, with the exception of age (S-TEP group vs. M-TEP group: median 69 [IQR 60-75] years vs. 64 [55-69] years, respectively; P = 0.019). Furthermore, no significant between-group difference was found in follow-up time (5.5 [3.0-5.8] vs. 5.4 [3.1-5.7] years, P = 0.839), recurrence rate (0.6 vs. 2.4%, P = 0.358), chronic pain (1.2 vs. 0%, P = 1.000), feeling the mesh (2.3 vs. 7.1%, P = 0.142), or movement limitation (0.6 vs. 0%, P = 1.000). All chronic symptoms were "mild but not bothersome." A metachronous contralateral inguinal hernia developed in 8.1% of patients. CONCLUSION: The long-term outcomes of S-TEP repair were comparable to those of M-TEP, with rates of recurrence, chronic pain, feeling the mesh, and movement limitation falling within acceptable limits.

Gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) is a common disease and is considered to be the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide; thus, new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for GIC are urgently required. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are functional RNAs that are transcribed from the genome but do not encode proteins. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short ncRNAs that are reported to function as both oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Moreover, several miRNA-based drugs are currently proceeding to clinical trials for various diseases, including cancer. In recent years, the stability of circulating miRNAs in blood has been demonstrated. This is of interest because these miRNAs could be potential noninvasive biomarkers of cancer. In this review, we focus on circulating miRNAs associated with GIC and discuss their potential as novel biomarkers.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Single-port laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision and central vascular ligation is technically challenging, and a standardized procedure is needed to minimize technical hazards. TECHNIQUE: As a first step, the hepatic flexure is mobilized from the duodenum, and the third part of the duodenum and pancreatic head was exposed. Next, the ileocecal vessels are divided at the root using a medial-to-lateral approach, and the cecum is separated from the retroperitoneal space. This process completes the mobilization of the right colon. In the second step, the omental bursa is opened, and the inferior border of the pancreas is exposed. The mobilized right colon is turned around to the left of the superior mesenteric vein, continuing to separate the mesentery from right to left side, and the right colic vessels are divided at the roots. The inverted right colon is restored to its original position, and the mesenteric fat is dissected along the left edge of the superior mesenteric artery to the inferior border of the pancreas. RESULTS: A total of 57 consecutive patients with advanced hepatic flexure colon cancer (n = 24) and transverse colon cancer (n = 33) underwent S-ERHC. The conversion rate to open surgery was 5.3%. Operative time, blood loss, and number of harvested lymph nodes were 232 min (interquartile range [IQR], 184-277 min), 5 mL (IQR, 5-66 mL), and 30 (IQR, 22-38), respectively. According to the Clavien-Dindo classification, the grade ≥ 2 complication rate was 10.5%. Median duration of hospitalization was 9 days (IQR, 7-13 days). CONCLUSIONS: Single-port laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy using a right colon rotation technique is safe, feasible, and useful. This technique of repeating the inversion and restoration of the right colon may help avoid bleeding and damage to other organs and facilitate reliable lymph node dissection.

LESSONS LEARNED: The 3-year disease-free survival rate of the twice-daily regimen was not inferior to that of the conventional three-times-daily regimen, and the twice-daily regimen did not lead to an increase in adverse events. The effectiveness of the twice-daily regimen highlights an increased number of treatment options for patients. This will facilitate personalized medicine, particularly for elderly or frail patients who may experience more severe side effects from the combination therapy. BACKGROUND: Tegafur-uracil (UFT)/leucovorin calcium (LV) is an adjuvant chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. We conducted a multicenter randomized trial to assess the noninferiority of a twice-daily compared with a three-times-daily UFT/LV regimen for stage II/III colorectal cancer in an adjuvant setting. METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned to group A (three doses of UFT [300 mg/m2 per day]/LV [75 mg per day]) or B (two doses of UFT [300 mg/m2 per day]/LV [50 mg per day]). The primary endpoint was 3-year disease-free survival. RESULTS: In total, 386 patients were enrolled between July 28, 2011, and September 27, 2013. The 3-year disease-free survival rates of group A (n = 194) and B (n = 192) were 79.4% and 81.4% (95% confidence interval, 72.6-84.4-74.5-85.9), respectively. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events in group A and B were diarrhea (3.9% vs. 7.3%), neutropenia (2.9% vs. 1.6%), increase in aspartate aminotransferase (4.0% vs. 3.9%), increase in alanine aminotransferase (6.2% vs. 6.8%), nausea (1.7% vs. 3.4%), and fatigue (1.1% vs. 2.3%). CONCLUSION: Group B outcomes were not inferior to group A outcomes, and adverse events did not increase.

BACKGROUND/AIM: The rate of lymph node metastasis (LNM) of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) with a submucosal (SM) invasion depth of 1000 µm or more can reach 12.5%, which is the most common reason for additional resection in daily practice. Other studies have reported that the rate of LNM is less than 2%, regardless of the depth of invasion, if the lesions show good histology, lymphovascular infiltration is negative, and tumor budding is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate new risk factors for LNM in T1b colorectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The 239 patients who were diagnosed with pathological T1b CRC after colorectal surgical resection at the Osaka Police Hospital in Japan between January 2008 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed in this study. RESULTS: The LNM rate was 11.3% (27/239). The variables identified as being significant factors using multivariate analysis were: i) lymphatic invasion (Ly)-positive [odds ratio (OR)=5.97; 95% confidence interval (CI)=2.27-15.74], ii) female gender (OR=3.49; 95%CI=1.38-8.85), and iii) left-sided colorectal involvement (OR=4.98; 95%CI=1.22-20.39). If none of these risk factors were present with T1b, the LNM rate was 0% (0/28). CONCLUSIONS: Ly-positive, female gender, and left-sided colorectal involvement could be risk factors for LNM in T1b CRC.

With the advancement of endoscopic resection(ER)of colorectal cancer, surgical resection after ER has been increasing. This study evaluated the effects of initial ER on short- and long-term outcomes in T1b colorectal cancer. This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with pathological T1b colorectal cancer who underwent colorectal surgical resection between 2008 and 2018. A total of 239 eligible patients were divided into 2 groups: patients initially treated using surgical resection with lymph node dissection(LND)(surgery alone, n=142)and patients treated using initial ER and additional surgical resection with LND(surgery after ER, n=97). No significant differences were observed in short-term outcomes(ie, operative time, blood loss, or postoperative complications)or the long-term outcomes(ie, recurrence rate, overall survival rate, or recurrence free survival rate)between groups.

In cases where carcinomatous meningitis leads to hydrocephalus and increases intracranial pressure, patients present with exacerbated pain and several neurological symptoms. It is reported that multidisciplinary therapy, including radiation therapy, drug therapy, and surgery, is performed for patients with carcinomatous meningitis; however, it is rarely successful. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting(V-P shunt)is a surgical intervention that might relieve the pain temporarily and improve the quality of life. VPS should be taken into consideration in line with patients' and their families' intentions since the overall survival is fairly short.

BACKGROUND: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) arises on various backgrounds, and the surgical procedure is often modified intraoperatively as needed. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is less invasive than conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery (MPS) and reported to be equally safe and efficient. We have been applying SILS to SBO requiring surgical treatment, and we conducted a retrospective study to clarify the role of SILS in the management of SBO. METHODS: Thirty-four consecutive patients were identified for inclusion in the study through a review of hospital records of patients having undergone surgery for SBO between May 2013 and June 2018. Patients with tumor- or hernia-related SBO were excluded. We also identified, for comparison, a group of patients who had undergone open surgery for SBO during the preceeding 5-year period. The primary study endpoint was the SILS completion rate, and analyses were performed to identify risk factors for conversion to open surgery and perioperative complications. RESULTS: The SILS completion rate was 70.6% (24/34 patients), with conversion open surgery required for the remaining 10 (29.4%) patients. Conversion was necessitated by limited working space in 5 (50%) patients, discovery of massive necrosis in 3 (30%), and non-detection of the responsible lesion in 2 (20%). Univariable analysis showed an American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status score (p = 0.020) and severe intra-abdominal adhesions (p = 0.007) to be risk factors for conversion. Conversion to open surgery (vs complete SILS) was significantly associated with increased operation time (p = 0.018), blood loss (p = 0.021), postoperative stay (p = 0.010), and postoperative complications (p = 0.004). Open surgery was significantly associated with increased postoperative stay (p = 0.026) and postoperative complications (p = 0.011). CONCLUSION: SILS appears to be a reasonable surgical treatment option for selected patients with SBO.

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of Daikenchuto (DKT) for colorectal cancer patients undergoing surgery with the potential risk of postoperative ileus (POI). METHODS: Colorectal cancer patients with abdominal pain and distention, scheduled for surgery, were randomly assigned to a DKT group or a control group. Patients assigned to the DKT group were given 15 g of DKT per day during the perioperative period. We then compared the perioperative gastrointestinal symptoms between the two groups. RESULTS: The aim for a sample size of 30 patients per group was not reached in time, so we conducted an analysis on 16 patients in each group. The visual Analogue Scale scores for abdominal pain and distention were similar in the two groups. The number of bowel movements per day on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 2, and 6 were significantly lower in the DKT group. The incidence of a sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation on PODs 3 and 28 was also significantly lower in the DKT group. There were no adverse events thought to be related to DKT. CONCLUSIONS: DKT could potentially inhibit diarrhea and reduce the number of bowel movements per day and the sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation after colorectal surgery. Thus, the perioperative use of DKT may be safe for colorectal cancer patients with abdominal pain and distention, who undergo surgery.

A 71-year-old woman with advanced ascending colon cancer was admitted to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography( CT)revealed locally advanced sigmoid colon cancer with suspected invasion of the liver and duodenum. The clinical stage of the disease was cT4bN3M1a, cStage â £a, with wild-type RAS and UGT1A1 expression. An ileostomy was performed because of bowel obstruction. The patient received 6 courses of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab(Bev). The only adverse event was Grade 3 neutropenia. Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. The pathological diagnosis was the absence of viable, Grade 3 carcinoma cells.

A 67-year-old woman presented with bloody stools to a local physician. Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a type 3 all-circumferential tumor at descending colon. She was diagnosed with descending colon cancer and referred to our hospital for surgery. Preoperative computed tomography(CT)revealed a horseshoe kidney. We performed single-incision laparoscopic colectomy for descending colon cancer(cT3cN0cM0, cStageâ ¡a)complicated by a horseshoe kidney. The surgery was performed safely without any additional injuries. In patients with horseshoe kidneys, abnormalities have been reported in the running of the blood vascular system and the renal pelvis and ureter systems. Thus, sufficient understanding of the anatomic abnormality by preoperative examinations, such as 3D-CT, is essential for performing surgery safely.
