RESUMO

BACKGROUND: During Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic entire countries rapidly ran out of intensive care beds, occupied by critically ill infected patients. Elective surgery was initially halted and acute non-deferrable surgical care drastically limited. The presence of COVID-19 patients into intensive care units (ICU) is currently decreasing but their congestion have restricted our therapeutic strategies during the last months. METHODS: In the COVID-19 era eighteen patients (8 men, 10 women) with a mean age of 80 years, needing undelayable abdominal surgery underwent awake open surgery at our Department. Prior to surgery, all patients underwent COVID-19 investigation. In all cases locoregional anesthesia (LA) was performed. Intraoperative and postoperative pain has been monitored and regularly assessed. A distinct pathway has been set up to keep patients of uncertain COVID-19 diagnosis separated from all other patients. RESULTS: Mean operative time was 104 minutes. In only one case conversion to general anesthesia was necessary. Postoperative pain was always well controlled. None of them required postoperative intensive care support. Only one perioperative complication occurred. Early readmissions after surgery were never observed. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of our experience awake laparotomy under LA resulted feasible, safe, painless and, in specific cases, the only viable option. For patients presenting fragile cardiovascular and respiratory, reserves and in whom general anesthesia (GA) would presumably increase morbidity and mortality we encourage LA as an alternative to GA. In the COVID-19 era, it has become part of our ICU-preserving strategy allowing us to carry out undeferrable surgeries.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a quality measure for endometrial cancer (EC) established by the Society of Gynecologic Oncology and the American College of Surgeons. Our study objective was to assess the proportion of EC cases performed by MIS at National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) centers and evaluate perioperative outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of women who underwent surgical treatment for EC from 2013 to 2014 was conducted at four NCCN centers. Multivariable mixed logistic regression models analyzed factors associated with failure to perform MIS and perioperative complications. RESULTS: In total 1621 patients were evaluated; 86.5% underwent MIS (robotic-assisted 72.5%, laparoscopic 20.9%, vaginal 6.6%). On multivariable analysis, factors associated with failure to undergo MIS were uterine size >12cm (Odds Ratio [OR]: 0.17, 95% CI 0.03-0.9), stage III (OR: 0.16, 95% CI 0.05-0.49) and IV disease (OR: 0.07, 95% CI 0.02-0.22). For stage I/II disease, complications occurred in 5.1% of MIS and 21.7% of laparotomy cases (p<0.01). Laparotomy was associated with increases in any complication (OR: 6.0, 95% CI 3.3-10.8), gastrointestinal (OR: 7.2, 95% CI 2.6-19.5), wound (OR: 3.7, 95% CI 1.5-9.2), respiratory (OR 37.5, 95% CI 3.9-358.0), VTE (OR 10.5, 95% CI 1.3-82.8) and 30-day readmission (OR: 2.6, 95% CI 1.4-4.9) compared to MIS. CONCLUSIONS: At NCCN-designated centers, the MIS hysterectomy rate in EC is higher than the published national average, with low perioperative complications. Previously identified disparities of age, race, and BMI were not observed. A proposed MIS hysterectomy benchmark of >80% in EC care is feasible when performed at high volume centers.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: After the US Food and Drug Administration statement warning against electronic morcellation devices, gynecologic surgeons are performing laparoscopic and robotic myomectomies with minilaparotomy incisions for tissue morcellation and removal. No data exist that focus on the superficial wound complications as a result of these larger incisions. The objective of this study is to compare the rate of wound complications for myomectomy via minilaparotomy versus laparoscopic or robotic myomectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a large integrated healthcare delivery system. PATIENTS: Women > 18 years of age who underwent a myomectomy from either complete laparoscopic or robotic approach (LR) were compared with minilaparotomy myomectomy (MM), comprising complete minilaparotomy (ML) and laparoscopic or robotic assisted by a minilaparotomy for morcellation purposes only (LRM) from January 2011 through December 2014. INTERVENTION: Myomectomy via LR, complete ML, and LRM. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Medical records were reviewed for outcomes of interest, including superficial wound complications and surgical and demographic data. After exclusion criteria were met, 405 cases were included in the study; 270 cases were classified as MM, which included ML (n = 224), or LRM (n = 46). One hundred thirty-five cases were classified as LR. Parametric and nonparametric analyses were used to compare the 2 groups. There was no significant difference between the groups insofar as patient morbidity, including the primary outcome of wound complications and other postoperative complications; emergency visits; or readmissions. There were 2 (1.5%) wound complications in the LR group and 7 (2.6%) in the MM group (p = .72). Similarly, there were no significant differences in the subcategories of wound complications, including cellulitis, seroma, hematoma, skin separation, wound infection, or postprocedure wound complication. The distribution of estimated blood loss was significantly different between LR and MM groups with an interquartile range of 50 to 150 mL in the LR group versus 50 to 300 mL in the MM group (p < .01). The MM group experienced a shorter procedure time with a median procedure time of 125 minutes compared with 169.5 minutes in LR surgeries (p < .01). The LR group demonstrated a significantly shorter median length of hospital stay (LR 5.0 hours vs MM 23 hours; p < .01). CONCLUSION: Compared with MM, LR is associated with a shorter length of hospital stay and longer operating time but no reduction in wound complication or other patient morbidity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Appendiceal tumors are found in about 1% of appendectomies performed and 0.5% of intestinal neoplasias. Appendiceal carcinoids are the predominant histology in this group and are usually casual after appendectomy for other reasons. The prognosis is excellent and survival is 95% at 5 years after surgery. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients with appendiceal carcinoid surgery in our hospital for 20 years (1990-2010) and survival at 5 years. We also discuss the need for additional treatment and testing for follow-up visits. RESULTS: 42 patients underwent surgery for appendiceal carcinoid tumor. 38 of them were operated on urgently, mostly for suspected acute appendicitis, without having reached the carcinoid tumor diagnosed preoperatively in any of them. The predominant symptomatology at admission was abdominal pain. Surgical treatment was appendectomy in 34 patients (12 laparoscopic), 7 patients required colon resections over intraoperatively by colonic involvement; only one patient required reoperation to complete right hemicolectomy. 2 patients had disseminated disease at diagnosis (liver metastases). The 5-year survival is over 95%, with no recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The appendiceal carcinoid tumor is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Appendectomy surgical treatment is usually sufficient, although colonic resections may be needed for dissemination. The 5-year survival is over 95%.


Antecedentes: los tumores apendiculares se encuentran en cerca de 1% de las apendicectomías y representan 0.5% de las neoplasias intestinales. El tipo de tumor más frecuente es el carcinoide apendicular, que casi siempre es un hallazgo durante la apendicectomía por otro motivo. Su pronóstico es excelente y la supervivencia es mayor de 95% a cinco años de la intervención. Objetivo: reportar una serie de casos y analizar la supervivencia media a cinco años posteriores a la identificación el tumor. Material y métodos: análisis retrospectivo (1990-2010) de pacientes con tumor carcinoide apendicular intervenidos en el servicio de Cirugía General y del Aparato Digestivo del Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío, Sevilla, España. Se analizaron: la supervivencia a cinco años, la necesidad de tratamiento complementario y las pruebas para seguimiento en la consulta. Resultados: se encontraron 42 pacientes intervenidos por tener un tumor carcinoide apendicular. En 38 pacientes la operación fue de urgencia, la mayoría por sospecha de apendicitis aguda, sin que en ninguno se hubiera establecido el diagnóstico de tumor carcinoide antes de la operación. El síntoma predominante al ingreso fue el dolor abdominal. El tratamiento quirúrgico fue: apendicectomía en 34 pacientes (12 por laparoscopia), en el intraoperatorio siete pacientes requirieron resecciones colónicas mayores debido a la afectación del colon; sólo uno requirió la reintervención para completar la hemicolectomía derecha. Al momento del diagnóstico dos pacientes tenían enfermedad diseminada (metástasis hepáticas). La supervivencia a cinco años fue superior a 95%, sin recidivas o tratamiento posterior de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: el tumor carcinoide apendicular difícilmente se diagnostica antes del procedimiento quirúrgico. La apendicectomía suele ser suficiente aunque en algunos pacientes las resecciones colónicas son necesarias por diseminación. La supervivencia a 5 años es superior a 95%.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the optimal timing of surgery for recurrent intussusception. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients aged from 0 to 18 years old with diagnosis of intussusception in the Pediatric Department at Mackay Memorial Hospital between January 1995 and May 2010. RESULTS: During the study period, there were 686 children (divided into three age groups: 367 < 2 years, 289 aged 2 to 5 years, 30 > 5 years) with diagnoses of intussusception. Eighty-five of the 686 patients had recurrent intussusception, of whom 56 had two, 16 had three, 11 had four, and 2 had five episodes. The recurrence rate after the first, second, third, and fourth barium enema reductions were 15.7%, 37.7%, 68.4%, and 100.0%, respectively. The incidence of recurrence and failure rate of barium enema reduction did not differ significantly among these three age groups. Surgery was performed in 177 children (146 during the first episode and 31 in recurrent cases). The probability of eventual surgery after first enema reduction was 21.8%, after the second 35.7%, and after the third 70.0%. Lead points were found in 15 children, and all of them were found during surgery for the first episode of intussusception. CONCLUSION: The probability of recurrence was 100% after the fourth episode of intussusception in our study. After the third episode of intussusception, the probability of recurrence and eventual surgery were 68% and 70%, respectively. From this study, surgical intervention should be considered at the third episode of intussusception.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the changing trend, repeat operation rate, and distribution of laparoscopy, as compared with laparotomy, in treating ectopic pregnancy, according to patient age, preoperative conditions, surgeon age, and hospital accreditation level, in Taiwan over 11-years. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Population-based nationwide insurance database. PATIENTS: Women who underwent either laparotomy or laparoscopy because of ectopic pregnancy. INTERVENTIONS: Women who had National Health Insurance (NHI) underwent various surgical procedures to treat ectopic pregnancy. Data for this study were obtained from the Inpatient Expenditures by Admissions files of the NHI Research Database, released by the NHI program in Taiwan between 1997 and 2007. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A total of 43 170 women with 44 928 operations were identified. Only the primary surgeries, via either laparotomy or laparoscopy, performed because of ectopic pregnancy were included for analysis. The annual number of procedures to treat ectopic pregnancies decreased in the later years of the 11-year study. Laparotomy decreased significantly, from 81.2% in 1997 to 26.2% in 2007, whereas laparoscopic procedures increased significantly, from 18.8% in 1997 to 73.8% in 2007, as evidenced at log-linear regression analysis (p < .001). The rate of repeat operations because of persistent ectopic pregnancy was higher in the laparoscopy group than in the laparotomy group (0.38% vs 0.14 %; p < .001). Patients were more likely to undergo the same type of operation for the repeated surgery (i.e., laparotomy to laparotomy in 73.1% or laparoscopy to laparoscopy in 80.2%; p = 0.43). Use of laparoscopy (58.1%) and laparotomy (41.9%) differed according to patient age, preoperative comorbidities, surgeon age, and hospital accreditation level and ownership type. With older patients, those with preoperative anemia or shock, and elder surgeons, there was a greater chance that laparotomy would be performed. The probability of undergoing laparotomy was greater in patients in regional hospitals, local hospitals, and office-based clinics compared with those in medical centers. CONCLUSIONS: There has been considerable change in the type of surgical approach used to treat ectopic pregnancy in Taiwan over the past 11 years. Laparoscopy is preferred to laparotomy, and has become the standard surgical approach to treating ectopic pregnancies in Taiwan. However, laparoscopy is associated with a higher rate of repeat operations. The laparoscopic approach signifies a profound change in treating ectopic pregnancies among patients, surgeons, and hospital types.

RESUMO

To assess the significance of initial empiric parenteral antibiotic therapy in patients requiring surgery for community-acquired secondary peritonitis, 425 patients hospitalized between January 1999 and September 2001 in 20 clinics across Germany were followed for a total of 6,521 patient days. Perforated appendix (38%), colon (27%), or gastroduodenum (22%) were the most common sites of infection. Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen. A total of 54 (13%) patients received inappropriate initial parenteral therapy not covering all bacteria isolated, or not covering both aerobes and anaerobes in the absence of culture results. Clinical success, predefined as the infection resolving with initial or step-down therapy after primary surgery, was achieved in 322 patients (75.7%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 70.6-81.2). Patients were more likely to have clinical success if initial antibiotic therapy was appropriate (78.6%; 95% CI, 73.6-83.9) rather than inappropriate (53.4%; 95% CI, 41.1-69.3). Patients having clinical success were estimated to stay 13.9 days in hospital (95% CI, 13.1-14.7), while those who had clinical failure stayed 19.8 days (95% CI, 17.3-22.3). In conclusion, appropriateness of initial parenteral antibiotic therapy was a predictor of clinical success, which in turn was associated with length of stay.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In order to assess the usefulness of radiolabeled white cell scanning in the diagnosis of intestinal inflammation, subjects were asked to rank several dimensions of preference for white cell scanning in relation to other diagnostic tests. Two groups were surveyed: one known to have inflammatory bowel disease and the second not familiar in most cases with the tests. Subjects were asked to rank preference for each of seven tests: radiolabeled white cell scan, colonoscopy, barium enema, sigmoidoscopy, enteroclysis, stool analysis and laparotomy for the diagnosis of IBD and impressions of discomfort, embarrassment, inconvenience and danger related to each test. Mean rank scores were calculated, test ranks compared within groups and significance determined by the Wilcoxon rank test. RESULTS: Significant differences were seen in overall preference for white cell scan over barium enema and colonoscopy (p < 0.01) in both survey groups. Perceived discomfort and embarrassment demonstrated similar rankings. CONCLUSION: This patient preference combined with the reported accuracy of white cell scanning further establishes the usefulness of this means of IBD diagnosis.

RESUMO

This is a retrospective study aimed at evaluating the various anaesthetic methods used for minilaparotomy female sterilization. During the fourteen-year period, 2913 clients had minilaparotomy female sterilization. Their mean age was 36.35 +/- 4.19 years. Mean number of living children was 6.82 +/- 1.64. 74.87% of the clients did not have any formal education, but were aware of other contraceptive options. In all 98.42% of the clients were married and in a stable relationships. Local anaesthesia with 1% xylocaine (10-20 mls) was used in 83.69% of the cases. Local anaesthesia with sedation in 13.53% and general anaesthesia in only 2.78%. Above 93.55% (2725) of the sterilization was carried out as an interval procedure, while 6.45% (188) were done postpartum. Pomeroy's technique was used in 96.98% of the tubal ligation. There was no mortality. The morbidity was vomiting and hallucination and it occurred in 0.20% amongst the clients who had sedation or general anaesthesia. Minilaparotomy under local anaesthesia for female sterilization has been found to be safe an effective outpatient procedure, and it is currently and established family planning option in our institution. The use of local anaesthesia alone gradually rose from 1987 up to date. The successful outcome was attributable to psychological and emotional preparation of the clients who also had to learn abdominal breathing exercises (for easy access to the fallopian tubes) from the trained personnel before the procedure.

RESUMO

There has been no decrease in the incidence of negative appendectomies in the adult population over the past two decades. Review of 484 appendectomies over a five-year period revealed that females between the ages of 13 to 40 have the lowest appendiceal perforation rate and the highest diagnostic error rate. More thorough preoperative assessment is indicated in this group. A program utilizing intensive observation, diagnostic barium enema, and laparoscopy may produce a reduction in negative laparotomies for appendicitis.
