RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery can become technically challenging in the setting of liver steatosis and hepatomegaly. The protein sparing modified fast (PSMF) diet helps in achieving rapid weight loss. The aim of this study is to explore the results of a preoperative PSMF diet on liver volume and steatosis as well as on intraoperative and postoperative complications in patients with hepatomegaly undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS: Between January 2010 and January 2021, 713 patients undergoing RYGB as a primary bariatric surgery were divided in two groups. Those with a measured liver length above 16 cm and or evidence of liver steatosis on ultrasound (group 1) were offered a preoperative PSMF diet while the remaining (group 2) proceeded directly to surgery. Between January 2010 and April 2012, patients included in group 1 had liver volume measurements on magnetic resonance imaging the day before the diet was started and the day before the surgery. For the length of the study, intraoperative and postoperative data were recorded for both groups. RESULTS: Five days of preoperative PSMF diet resulted in a significant reduction of total and left liver volume (15.8% and 21% respectively, p < 0.001). There was no difference in intraoperative bleeding and conversion rate or postoperative complication rate between both groups. CONCLUSION: The PSMF diet helps in achieving a rapid decrease in liver volume. Patients with hepatomegaly initially thought to be at a higher risk of intraoperative complications reached comparable rates to patients without hepatomegaly after the diet regimen without any impact on the postoperative course.

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is recognized as a negative prognostic factor in several cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of nutritional support with feeding jejunostomy (FJ) on the occurrence of sarcopenia and how it may affect postoperative short-term outcomes and long-term survival outcomes in patients undergoing esophagectomy for oesogastric junction adenocarcinoma (OJA). METHODS: Patients with OJA were included. The presence of sarcopenia was determined using cutoff values of the total cross-sectional muscle tissue measured on CT scan. We analyzed risk factors for sarcopenia occurrence and the impact of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative results, overall survival and disease-free survival. RESULTS: A total of 124 patients were eligible for analysis. Ninety-one patients underwent surgery after chemotherapy, and 72 of them received preoperative FJ. Among the 91 patients, 21 patients (23.0%) were sarcopenic after preoperative chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed that FJ is a protective factor against sarcopenia occurrence. Overall survival was significantly different between sarcopenic and nonsarcopenic patients (median survival = 33.7 vs. 58.6 months, respectively, p = 0.04), and sarcopenia occurrence was an independent risk factor for overall survival in patients who underwent surgery (HR = 3.02; CI 95% 1.55-5.9; p < 0.005). Subgroup analyses showed no differences in overall survival between patients who presented sarcopenia despite nutritional prehabilitation with a FJ and patients excluded from surgery in palliative situations (median survival = 21.9 vs. 17.2 months, respectively, p = 0.46). CONCLUSION: The persistence of sarcopenia after preoperative chemotherapy despite renutrition with FJ could be a selection factor to propose curative surgery for OJA.

BACKGROUND: Survival of patients affected by colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRC-PM) can be improved with combined complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Two chemotherapeutic agents are mainly used: mitomycin C (MMC) and oxaliplatin. A recent prospective randomized clinical trial showed that oxaliplatin-based HIPEC does not improve survival compared with CCRS alone. The purpose of our study was to compare the survival effectiveness of MMC versus oxaliplatin-based HIPEC using a homogeneous surgical technique and drug protocol. METHODS: This retrospective monocentric study included all patients prospectively registered for having undergone CCRS and HIPEC using MMC or oxaliplatin for CRC-PM in Strasbourg University Hospital, France, from December 2004 until December 2019. MMC-based HIPEC and oxaliplatin-based HIPEC groups were compared with an inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS: A total of 137 patients were included. Groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics except for peritoneal carcinomatosis index. In the weighted multivariate analysis, disease-free survival (DFS) and peritoneal disease-free survival (PDFS) were significantly higher in the MMC-based HIPEC group compared with the oxaliplatin-based HIPEC group with a hazard ratio of 0.74 (CI 95% 0.56-0.98), p = 0.035 and 0.59 (CI 95% 0.40-0.98), p = 0.0084, respectively. There was no difference in overall survival or postoperative morbidity between groups. CONCLUSIONS: These results favor a superiority of MMC for DFS and PDFS in comparison with oxaliplatin in HIPEC after CCRS in treatment with curative intent for CRC-PM.

Most patients affected with colorectal cancers (CRC) are treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy but its efficacy is often hampered by resistance mechanisms linked to tumor heterogeneity. A better understanding of the molecular determinants involved in chemoresistance is critical for precision medicine and therapeutic progress. Caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX2) is a master regulator of intestinal identity and acts as tumor suppressor in the colon. Here, using a translational approach, we examined the role of CDX2 in CRC chemoresistance. Unexpectedly, we discovered that the prognosis value of CDX2 for disease-free survival of patients affected with CRC is lost upon chemotherapy and that CDX2 expression enhances resistance of colon cancer cells towards 5-FU. At the molecular level, we found that CDX2 expression correlates with higher levels of genes regulating the bioavailability of 5-FU through efflux (ABCC11) and catabolism (DPYD) in patients affected with CRC and CRC cell lines. We further showed that CDX2 directly regulates the expression of ABCC11 and that the inhibition of ABCC11 improves 5-FU-sensitivity of CDX2-expressing colon cancer cells. Thus, this study illustrates how biological functions are hijacked in CRC cells and reveals the therapeutic interest of CDX2/ABCC11/DPYD to improve systemic chemotherapy in CRC.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of high-output stoma (HOS) was reported to be approximately 3 to 16% in the literature, and HOS can cause dehydration. This complication is often severe enough to warrant hospital readmission and may result in renal failure. The aim of this study was to show a decrease of 50% in ileostomy output in the experimental arm using lanreotide treatment. METHODS: Patients with an ileostomy output ≥ 1.5 l/24 hours were included in this prospective, open, multicentre randomized trial. Patients were randomly allocated between treatment arms with either lanreotide (LAN) and antidiarrhoeal treatments (TAD) (LAN-TAD group) or antidiarrhoeal treatments only (TADS group). The primary outcome was ileostomy output after 72 days. The secondary endpoints were ileostomy output during the first 6 days, blood urea and creatinine values, hospital length of stay and serious adverse events. RESULTS: In the per-protocol analysis, there were nine patients in the control group (TADS) and six patients in the experimental group (TAD-LAN group). The stoma outputs at Day 3 (D3) in the experimental and control groups were 1,900 ± 855.7 mL and 1,728.6 ± 845.5 mL, respectively (p = 0.2). No differences were found concerning stoma output at D6, renal function, or hospital length of stay between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The trial was prematurely stopped due to the low number of patients included. The question of the usefulness of somatostatin analogues in HOS persists, especially as the cost of this treatment is high, and there is a lack of evidence of its effectiveness.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a preoperative feeding jejunostomy (FJ) on the occurrence of sarcopenia before and after preoperative chemotherapy for patients with an oesogastric adenocarcinoma (OGA). Forty-six patients with potentially resectable OGA were enrolled in a perioperative chemotherapy protocol. Sarcopenia was evaluated by measuring muscle surfaces (psoas, paraspinal and abdominal wall muscles) on abdominal CT images at the level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra. A FJ was placed in 31 patients (67.4%) before the neoadjuvant treatment (FJ group), while 15 patients (32.6%) started neoadjuvant treatments without FJ (control group). After preoperative chemotherapy, there were significantly more sarcopenic patients in the control group, compared to the FJ group. In the FJ group, 13% of the patients (n = 4) were sarcopenic before treatment and 22.6% of them (n = 7) became sarcopenic after preoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.3). In the control group, if initially only 6.7% (n = 1) of patients were sarcopenic, the majority of the patients (60%, n = 9) became sarcopenic after chemotherapy (p = 0.012). The FJ was an independent risk factor of sarcopenia after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. FJ with enteral nutritional support during the preoperative management of OGA seemed to efficiently counteract sarcopenia occurrence during preoperative chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Chylothorax (CHT) is a known post-operative complication after esophageal surgery with vaguely defined risk factors. METHODS: This is a retrospective chart review of 70 consecutive patients with operable cancer over a period of four years (January 2013 to December 2016). Ivor Lewis and McKeown interventions were performed. Thoracic duct is identified and ligated routinely. Factors related to the patient, the tumor, and the operating surgeon were analyzed. RESULTS: Incidence of CHT was 10%. Surgeons with less than five years of esophageal surgery experience had the most CHT, 71% (p=0.001). No association was found between tumor location, type, body mass index (BMI), neoadjuvant therapy, response to neoadjuvant therapy or male sex, and CHT. The odds of developing CHT were 17 times higher in patients operated by a junior surgeon (odds ratio, OR=17.67, confidence interval, CI 2.68-116.34, p=0.003). Four patients (5.7%) had anastomotic leaks, none of them had CHT. Senior surgeons had less operative time and harvested more lymph nodes (p=0.0002 and p=0.1086 respectively). CONCLUSION: Surgeon's experience might be considered a major risk factor to develop CHT. This finding needs to be confirmed by a larger multicentric series taking into consideration the human factor.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The analysis of high risk relapse prognosis factors and their importance regarding recurrence risk for stage I and II colon cancer, according to TNM classification 8th edition, 2017. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We performed a retrospective analysis regarding the impact of prognosis factors for patients with high recurrence risk in stages I and II. We studied 99 patients with T2, T3 and T4 tumors who suffered a curative resection and whom may or may not present indication for adjuvant chemotherapy according to histoprognostic factors and molecular biomarkers. Results: We performed a univariate Cox regression which highlighted that male sex is a risk factor for disease relapse (HR=5.53, p 0.05, IC95% = 1.29 to 23.73). Although with a low statistical significance effect, T4 tumors seems to be associated with a poor prognosis regarding disease relapse (HR = 2.56, p = 0.06, IC95% = 0.94 to 6.99) compared to T2 and T3 tumors. Patients with d'MMR (MSI-H) seem to have a more favorable evolution compared to patients with p'MMR (MSS/MSI-L) - HR (d'MMR vs p'MMR) = 0.19, IC95% = 0.02 to 1.61, p = 0.13. Conclusions: We believe that it would be useful for MSS / MSI to be systematically analyzed, our data suggesting a better response of d`MMR patients to adjuvant chemotherapy. The multivariate Cox regression did not identify independent risk factors of relapse.

INTRODUCTION: A De Garengeot hernia is a rare form of femoral hernia, where the appendix is found in the herniated sac. This feature is important to report, as both the diagnosis and the treatment are quite challenging in this particular condition. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report the case of a 77-year-old female presenting with a femoral hernia, containing an incarcerated necrotic vermiform appendix (De Garengeot hernia). A laparoscopic appendectomy was performed and the herniated defect was repaired according to Rives technique, using a biological mesh. DISCUSSION: The De Garengeot hernia is often unexpected and diagnosed intra-operatively. A pre-operative diagnosis is quite difficult, as it often presents clinically as a strangled femoral hernia. In patients without peritoneal signs, a contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) of the abdomen is useful for the diagnosis. Many surgical techniques have been discussed in literature, but there is no consensus. We show the feasibility and safety of the hernia repair according to Rives technique, through an inguinotomy with a biologic mesh. A laparoscopic approach was used to remove the necrotic appendix. CONCLUSION: The De Garengeot hernia is an uncommon differential diagnosis for patients presenting with clinical signs of strangled femoral hernia. Although hernia repairs with a synthetic mesh in the presence of appendicitis have been reported, we describe a case of femoral hernia repair using a biologic mesh, in a patient with a De Garengot hernia.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of a feeding jejunostomy (FJ) on the preoperative management of patients with an oesogastric adenocarcinoma (OGA). METHODS: From January 2007 to December 2014, patients with potentially resectable OGA were enrolled in a perioperative chemotherapy protocol. FJ was performed before starting perioperative treatments in patients presenting with dysphagia or with a nutritional risk index (NRI) <97.5. The patients who did not require a FJ served as a control group. RESULTS: Among the 114 patients with OGA consecutively admitted in our surgical department, 88 (77.2%) were enrolled for neoadjuvant treatment. A FJ was placed in 50 patients (56.8%) before the neoadjuvant treatment (FJ group), whereas 38 patients (43.2%) started neoadjuvant treatments without FJ (control group). Ninety-six percent of patients (n = 48) in the FJ group successfully completed the neoadjuvant treatment but only 81.6% of patients without FJ (n = 31; p = 0.004). The FJ group was divided between responders: 37 patients with a weight response (74%), and nonresponders: 13 patients without weight response (26%). In the FJ group, the nutritional response during preoperative chemotherapy was a significant predictive factor for the achievement of second stage oesogastric resection (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: FJ with enteral nutritional support during the preoperative management of OGA is a safe and effective support for the completion of the preoperative chemotherapy. The weight response to the enteral support is a predictor factor for a completion of the preoperative chemotherapy and could identify a group of patients who would have a better chance of reaching radical surgery.

BACKGROUND: Surgery for anal canal cancer (ACC) and anal margin cancer (AMC) is the only curative option after failure of chemoradiotherapy (CRT). This study aimed to determine the efficacy of surgery for ACC or AMC after failed CRT. METHODS: This was a single-centre, retrospective study of 161 patients initially treated with CRT. We compared the survival rates of patients successfully treated by CRT with those of patients whose CRT failed (both surgically salvaged and treated palliatively). RESULTS: Thirty-one patients underwent surgery with curative intent, 20 received palliative treatment after failure of CRT, and 110 had effective CRT. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was significantly higher among patients with successful CRT than among patients who underwent surgery with curative intent (86 vs. 66%, p < 0.001). On the other hand, the 5-year OS of patients treated with curative surgery was significantly better than that of patients who underwent palliative treatment (66 vs. 13.5%, p < 0.001). The postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were 32 and 3%, respectively. Considering patients with failed CRT, curative surgery was the only factor prognostic of favourable OS in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Curative surgery after failure of CRT for ACC or AMC remains an effective treatment to improve survival in two-thirds of cases, resulting in high but manageable morbidity.

OBJECTIVES: The role of perioperative chemotherapy (POC) and targeted therapies in lung metastasectomy for colorectal cancer (CRC) is still subject to debate. We aimed to evaluate whether POC and targeted therapies were associated with different outcomes according to the mutational status. METHODS: We reviewed data from 223 patients who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy for CRC from 1998 to 2015 and for whom the V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS) and V-raf Murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 (BRAF) mutational statuses were known. RESULTS: A total of 167 patients (74%) underwent POC: 62 (37%) received neoadjuvant therapy, 59 (35%) were in the adjuvant setting and 46 (28%) were in both the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. POC did not significantly influence either the loco-regional recurrence free survival (LRRFS) (P = 0.21) or the overall survival (OS) (P = 0.29). Furthermore, in cases of adjuvant chemotherapy, outcomes were not significantly different in cases of neoadjuvant chemotherapy or both neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment (P = 0.26 for OS, P = 0.14 for LRRFS). For patients with KRAS mutation, perioperative bevacizumab was associated with a significant improvement in both LRRFS [70 months (41.5898.42) vs 24 months (1.1546.86), P = 0.001] and OS [101 vs 55 months (49.7760.23), P = 0.004]. However, this benefit was only significant in cases of KRAS exon 2 codon 12 mutations [median OS: 101 months (83.97118.02) vs 60 months (5366.99), P < 0.001; median LRRFS: 76 months (64.6287.38) vs 44 months (35.2752.73), P < 0.001]. CONCLUSION: Perioperative bevacizumab appears to be beneficial in patients with exon 2 codon 12 KRAS mutations who have undergone lung metastasectomy for CRC.

PURPOSE: Extended and full-thickness abdominal wall defects are commonly reconstructed using free flaps. Published surgical outcomes involving the latissimus dorsi (LD) free flap procedure are limited and are less numerous than those with free flaps involving the thigh. The aim of this report was to describe the immediate and long-term evaluation of complex abdominal wall reconstruction using a LD free flap with mesh. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2005 and 2013, nine patients with extended malignant tumors of the abdominal wall underwent surgeries. After the surgical resection, the mean defect size was 385 cm2 (range: 190-650 cm2 ). Full-thickness abdominal wall reconstruction was performed with a combination of LD free flaps and meshes. The immediate and long-term outcomes were assessed regarding the complications, sustainable strength of the abdominal wall and cancer recurrence. RESULTS: The meshes measured 927 cm2 in average (range: 500-1036 cm2 ). Eight Parietex Composite® and 1 Bard Collamend Implant® were used. No donor site complications occurred, and complete LD flap survival was achieved without partial necrosis or thrombosis. One obese patient who received a porcine dermis mesh developed an eventration four days postoperatively and exhibited a limited amount of abdominal skin necrosis around the flap. Two patients died from cancer evolution. After a mean follow-up of 60.4 months (range: 29-94 months), clinical evaluation of the abdomen revealed 2 patients without anomalies, 4 cases of abdominal bulging without functional discomfort and 1 case of major abdominal distension. CONCLUSIONS: Complex abdominal reconstruction with LD free flap and mesh allows extended satisfactory coverage with a low incidence of flap and donor site complications. However, patients should be advised of the significant risk of abdominal bulging. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microsurgery 37:38-43, 2017.

The localization of small bowel (SB) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) remains a diagnostic challenge in clinical practice. In about a third of cases, SB-NETs are multiple at diagnosis. However, the sensitivity of conventional presurgical diagnostic investigations is not exhaustive. F-FDOPA (6-L-F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine) PET seems to be a valuable diagnostic technique for the detection of midgut NETs. According to our experience, a delayed PET/CT acquisition centered on abdominopelvic region and performed after oral hydration may improve the detection of primary tumor and the identification of patients with multifocal SB-NETs who could benefit from a more accurate intraoperative palpation of the entire SB.

BACKGROUND: The optimal scheme of thromboprophylaxis in bariatric surgery remains uncertain, because clinical practice is different between countries and randomized trials are lacking. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this randomized multicenter study was to determine the optimal regimen of enoxaparin providing an antifactor Xa peak activity between .3 and .5 IU/mL at equilibrium and to evaluate the course of procoagulant microparticles (MPs). SETTING: University hospital. METHODS: A total of 164 patients scheduled for gastric bypass were allocated to 3 groups (A, B, and C) of enoxaparin treatment (4000, 6000, or 2×4000 IU, respectively). Antifactor Xa activity was measured before and 4 hours after each injection from D0 to D2. Doppler screening of the lower limbs was performed at D1, D9, and D30. Bleeding (BE) and thrombotic events (TE) were recorded during the first postoperative month. Total MPs were measured at D0, D9, and D30. MPs of leucocyte, platelet, and granulocyte origin were assessed in one third of the patients from each group. The 3 groups were compared by ANOVA. RESULTS: A total of 135 patients were analyzed. The equilibrium of antifactor Xa peak levels was obtained 52 hours after the presurgery injection and 12.8%, 56.4%, and 27.3% of the patients reached the target in groups A, B, and C, respectively (P<.001). No TE was detected. BE occurred in 1, 2, and 6 patients in groups A, B, and C, respectively). Total MPs remained unchanged over time. While no significant variation was observed in the other groups, platelet GP1 b(+)-MPs increased (P = .01) at D9 in group C, suggesting an incomplete control of anticoagulation leading to cell activation and procoagulant MP release that was confirmed by the higher MP levels measured at D30 (P = .04). CD66(+)-MPs were also highly elevated at J9 and D30 in group C indicating a granulocyte contribution. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that a single dose of enoxaparin 6000 IU/d allowed most of the patients to reach the target range of antifactor Xa activity without increasing the bleeding risk, with the most likely efficient reduction of procoagulant MPs.

PURPOSE: Selection of patients for resection of synchronous liver metastases (LM) and peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a debated issue since morbidity of this surgery is not negligible. We aimed to define overall survival (OS) prognostic criteria in patients undergoing PC surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and LM resection. METHODS: This monocentric and comparative study included all consecutive patients operated for LM (LM group, n = 77), PC (HIPEC group, n = 18) and PC + LM (LM + HIPEC group, n = 9) from January 2007 to May 2011. Characteristics of the 3 groups were prospectively collected and retrospectively compared. RESULTS: Median follow-up was 56,5 months. Major morbidity and mortality were respectively 14% and 3%. Two-year disease free and overall survival rates were respectively 23% and 76%. There were significantly more Dindo grade III-IV complications in LM + HIPEC group. In multivariate analysis, grade II and III preoperative chemotherapy-induced toxicity and size of LM were identified as poor OS prognostic factors whereas response to preoperative chemotherapy significantly increases OS. OS was not different (p = 0.235) between the 3 groups. CONCLUSION: Toxicity to preoperative chemotherapy and size of LM were identified as poor prognostic factors in patients undergoing simultaneous PC and LM surgery. These criteria could help in better selecting patients for such extensive surgery.
