RESUMEN

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is described as a patient's clinical (phenotypical) presentation as a female with male karyotyping. Classically, patients are normal looking females with complaints of primary amenorrhea. The gonads may be found as extra-genital swellings; rarely, the testes may undergo malignant transformation. Thus, gonadectomy is indicated in these patients on attaining puberty. A rare and interesting case of clinically unsuspected AIS in a young female who presented with primary amenorrhea and inguinal swelling is reported. The initial diagnosis was suggested on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the inguinal swelling that showed the presence of Sertoli cells. Further family history revealed two similar siblings; karyotyping and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of AIS in the patient. This case highlights the importance of FNAC in early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to confirm the diagnosis and help in appropriate management.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional anaesthetic technique providing analgesia to the parietal peritoneum, muscles and skin of the anterior abdominal wall innervated by somatic nerves T6 to L1. We present the results of our randomized triple blind study comparing laparoscopically guided TAP block with the commonly used port site local anaesthetic infiltration for pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS: A hundred patients with symptomatic gallstones planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into two groups of TAP block and port site infiltration. Group A received 4-quadrant TAP block with 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine at each of the four sites guided laparoscopically and port site infiltration with 10 ml of normal saline at each of the 4 ports for blinding the surgeon. Group B received port site infiltration with 0.25% bupivacaine, and infiltration with normal saline at TAP block sites for blinding the surgeon. Post-operative pain (at 3, 6, 24 h and 1-week post-operative) (VAS), time to return to activities of daily living and patient satisfaction (Capuzzo Score) were recorded by an observer blinded towards the groups of the patients. RESULTS: The median VAS at 3, 6, 24 h, at discharge, and 1-week post-operative were lesser in Group A compared to Group B (p ≤ 0.001 for all). The median duration of hospital stay was also lesser in Group A compared to Group B (p = 0.48, not significant) as was the time to return to activities (p < 0.05). The median Capuzzo score was higher in Group A compared to Group B (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study shows that laparoscopically guided TAP block is a safe and easy-to-use technique. It reduces the severity of post-operative pain, helps in quick recovery, early discharge and improved patient satisfaction after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: There has been a constant increase in the number of published surgical videos with preference for open-access sources, but the proportion of videos undergoing peer-review prior to publication has markedly decreased, raising questions over quality of the educational content presented. The aim of this study was the development and validation of a standard framework for the appraisal of surgical videos submitted for presentation and publication, the LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS) video assessment tool. METHODS: An international committee identified items for inclusion in the LAP-VEGaS video assessment tool and finalised the marking score utilising Delphi methodology. The tool was finally validated by anonymous evaluation of selected videos by a group of validators not involved in the tool development. RESULTS: 9 items were included in the LAP-VEGaS video assessment tool, with every item scoring from 0 (item not presented in the video) to 2 (item extensively presented in the video), with a total marking score ranging from 0 to 18. The LAP-VEGaS video assessment tool resulted highly accurate in identifying and selecting videos for acceptance for conference presentation and publication, with high level of internal consistency and generalisability. CONCLUSIONS: We propose that peer review in adherence to the LAP-VEGaS video assessment tool could enhance the overall quality of published video outputs.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Biliary injury is the most feared complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study aimed to assess the awareness of culture of safety in cholecystectomy (COSIC) concept among the surgical residents in India. METHODS: A manual survey was conducted among general surgery residents attending a postgraduate course. Survey consisted of questions pertaining to knowledge of various aspects of COSIC, e.g., the critical view of safety (CVS). RESULTS: With a response rate of 51%, 259 residents were included in this study. They had more exposure to LC (63.3% assisted / performed > 15 LC) than to open cholecystectomy (60.6% assisted / performed ≤ 10 open cholecystectomy). The majority (80.2%) clearly differentiated Calot triangle from the hepatocystic triangle (HCT). However, 25.8% could not correctly define HCT. The majority (88.5%) had seen the Rouviere's sulcus during LC. While almost all (98.4%) respondents claimed to know about the segment 4, only 41.9% could correctly describe it. Awareness of the correct direction of the gallbladder retraction was lower for the infundibulum (53.5%) than for fundus (89.2%). The majority (88.3%) claimed to know CVS but only 11.5% knew it correctly, and 15.1% described > 3 components. The majority (78.7%) practiced to identify the cystic duct-common bile duct junction. Awareness was low for time-out (28.1%), intraoperative cholangiography (20.6%), bailout techniques (18.9%), and for overall COSIC concept (15.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of COSIC among surgical residents seems to be suboptimal, especially for the CVS, time-out, bailout techniques, and overall concept of COSIC. Strategies to educate them more effectively about COSIC are highly imperative to train them well for future practice.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Villous adenomas are dubiously benign lesions, which are difficult to interpret because of their malignant potential. Distal villous adenomas present with bleeding or mucus discharge. Giant adenomas are not amenable for endoscopic or transanal resection. Only few isolated cases have been reported by laparoscopic resection. We present our case of a circumferential giant villous adenoma of the rectum managed successfully by laparoscopic ultra-low anterior resection with colo-anal anastomosis with a review of literature in regard to their malignant potential. CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old lady presented with complaints of painless bleeding per rectum and a fleshy mass protruding from the anal canal which on digital rectal examination appeared a large soft velvety flat mass with mucus discharge. Colonoscopy showed circumferential irregular, friable, edematous mucosa in rectum extending for 15 cm. Computed tomography showed a large heterogeneously enhancing polypoid mass lesion in the rectal wall involving the entire rectum. The patient underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection with colo-anal anastomosis and protecting loop ileostomy. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed villous adenoma of the rectum with moderate to severe dysplasia. DISCUSSION: Villous adenomas are sessile growths lined by dysplastic glandular epithelium, whose risk of malignancy is especially high up to 50% when greater than 2 cm in size. Large size, villous content, and distal location are all associated with severe dysplasia in colorectal adenomas. Large villous rectal tumors, particularly of circumferential type pose a great challenge for endoscopic or transanal removal. Henceforth, open or laparoscopic surgery is required for these cases. CONCLUSION: Giant rectal villous polyps are usually unresectable by endoscopic methods or transanal endoscopic microsurgery and are associated with a high rate of unsuspected cancer which requires a formal radical oncologic resection. As per current data, the combined risk of dysplasia/malignancy is about 83% with 50% risk of dysplasia and frank malignancy in 33% of cases of giant rectal villous adenomas of more than 8 cm in size. Laparoscopic colorectal resection is safe and effective.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Consensus statement by an international multispecialty trainers and trainees expert committee on guidelines for reporting of educational videos in laparoscopic surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Instructive laparoscopy videos with appropriate exposition could be ideal for initial training in laparoscopic surgery, but there are no guidelines for video annotation or procedural educational and safety evaluation. METHODS: Delphi questionnaire of 45 statements prepared by a steering group and voted on over 2 rounds by committee members using an electronic survey tool. Committee selection design included representative surgical training experts worldwide across different laparoscopic specialties, including general surgery, lower and upper gastrointestinal surgery, gynecology and urology, and a proportion of aligned surgical trainees. RESULTS: All 33 committee members completed both the first and the second round of the Delphi questionnaire related to 7 major domains: Video Introduction/Authors' information; Patient Details; Procedure Description; Procedure Outcome; Associated Educational Content; Peer Review; and Use in Educational Curriculae. The 17 statements that did not reach at least 80% agreement after the first round were revised and returned into the second round. The committee consensus approved 37 statements to at least an 82% agreement. CONCLUSION: Consensus guidelines on how to report laparoscopic surgery videos for educational purposes have been developed. We anticipate that following our guidelines could help to improve video quality.These reporting guidelines may be useful as a standard for reviewing videos submitted for publication or conference presentation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The precise steps for the removal of gall bladder from the gall bladder bed are not well standardised. The dissection becomes more difficult near the fundus where the assistant's grasper holding the fundus creates a 'tug of war' like situation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a description of a simple technique that aids in accurate dissection of the gallbladder from liver bed. As the gallbladder dissection approaches fundus and more than two-third of gallbladder is dissected from liver bed, the medial and lateral peritoneal folds of gall bladder are further incised. The assistant is asked to leave the traction from the gallbladder fundus, while the surgeon holds the dissected surface of gall bladder around 2-3 cm away from its attachment with liver and flip it above the liver. Further dissection is carried out using a hook or a dissector till it is disconnected completely from the liver bed. RESULTS: We have employed 'Flip technique' in around 645 consecutive cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy operated in the past 3 years. Only one case of liver bed bleeding and two cases of injury to gall bladder wall were noted during this part of dissection in this study. Ease of dissection by surgeons was rated as 9.6 on a scale of 1-10. CONCLUSION: Gallbladder 'Flip technique' is a simple and easily reproducible technique employed for dissection of gall bladder from liver bed that reduces complications and makes dissection easier.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) is an accepted treatment modality for single stage management of CBD stones in fit patients. A transcholedochal approach is preferred in patients with a dilated CBD and large impacted stones in whom ductal clearance remains problematic. There are very few studies comparing intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) with choledochoscopy to determine ductal clearance in patients undergoing transcholedochal LCBDE. This series represents the first of those comparing the two from Asia. METHODS: Between April 2009 and October 2012, 150 consecutive patients with CBD stones were enrolled in a prospective randomized study to undergo transcholedochal LCBDE on an intent-to-treat basis. Patients with CBD diameter of less than 9 mm on preoperative imaging were excluded from the study. Out of the 132 eligible patients, 65 patients underwent IOC (Group A), and 67 patients underwent intraoperative choledochoscopy (Group B) to determine CBD clearance. RESULTS: There were no differences between the two groups in the demographic profile and the preoperative biochemical findings. There was no conversion to open procedures, and complete stone clearance was achieved in all the 132 cases. The mean CBD diameter and the mean number of CBD stones removed were comparable between the two groups. Mean operating time was 170 min in Group A and 140 min in Group B (p < 0.001). There was no difference in complications between the two groups. Nine patients in Group A (13.8%) showed non-passage of contrast into the duodenum on IOC which resolved after administration of i.v. glucagon, suggesting a transient spasm of sphincter of Oddi. Two patients (3%) showed a false-positive result on IOC which had to be resolved with choledochoscopy. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that intraoperative choledochoscopy is better than IOC for determining ductal clearance after transcholedochal LCBDE and is less cumbersome and less time-consuming.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are benign non-invasive epithelial proliferations of the appendix. These usually present clinically as mucoceles and these rarely exceed 2 cm in diameter. Lesions confined to the lumen are labelled as LAMN; however those in which mucin spreads outside the peritoneum are labeled as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: A retrospective study was conducted over a period of three years and all cases of appendectomies were studied. Twelve cases of LAMN were identified, which is a diagnostic dilemma for the pathologists and clinicians. RESULTS: LAMN was identified based on the histopathological features. Out of the 12 cases, 9 were classified as LAMN and 3 as appendiceal neoplasm with PMP. There was villous or flat proliferation of epithelial lining, loss lymphoid aggregates, and dissecting mucin within muscularis. CONCLUSION: LAMNs are rare neoplasms of the appendix, with clinical presentation similar to acute appendicitis. Mucinous collections within the appendiceal wall should be extensively searched for mucosal changes and, if found, should prompt a careful search for pushing invasion of LAMNs. A thorough and vigilant gross examination can be of great help. Appendicectomy is the treatment of benign and grossly intact mucinous neoplasm.

RESUMEN

Surgical site infection (SSI) remains one of the most common complications of perforation peritonitis, contributing not only to morbidity but also mortality. We studied the culture and sensitivity of intra-peritoneal fluid and post-operative laparotomy wounds, and found consistency in pathogen and sensitivity between the intra and post-operative samples in 25 cases (80.6%). Therefore, routine culture and sensitivity of peritoneal fluid and subsequently switching the empirical anti-microbial therapy accordingly is justified.

RESUMEN

In this paper, we report two cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) who were treated with distinct surgical approaches. In the first case, a 50-year-old woman presented with a mass on her right shoulder and underwent local excision with subsequent reconstruction using a deltopectoral flap. The second case was of a young female who presented with a giant protuberant DFSP on the anterior abdominal wall who was treated with wide local excision along with inlay mesh repair of the defect. Early excision and adjuvant radiotherapy facilitates a low recurrence rate while also improving the prognosis of the patients.

RESUMEN

Background: Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is third most common malignancy in the world. The presence of Lymphocytes particularly at the invasive margin of the tumor have been associated with good immune response indicating better prognosis. The relative tumor stroma is also important in deciding the course of the disease. The Glasgow Microenvironment Score (GMS) comprises of assessment of tumor cell infiltrate using Klintrup-Makinen (KM) grade and tumor stroma percentage. Aims: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the utility of GMS score in relation to parameters of adverse histopathological outcome in carcinoma colon that is grading, staging, LVI, PNI and nodal metastasis. Setting and Design: Colectomy specimens received over 3 year period were subjected to microscopic evaluation for LVI, PNI, grade, stage & lymph node metastasis. Materials and Methods: Lymphocytes at the deepest invasive margin of tumor were counted as per KM score in 5 HPF by two independent pathologists . Patients were classified as Low grade (0/1) or high grade (2/3) response. Tumor stroma percentage was calculated as stroma poor (<50%) and stroma rich (>/= 50 %). The GMS was scored by combining the two and scored 0, 1 and 2. Statistics and Results: Total 37 patients with no prior therapy were included out of which 23 were males and 14 females. 15 patients (40.54%) had GMS of 0, 6 (16.21%) had GMS 1 and 16 (43.24%) had GMS 2. A high GMS was associated with LVI (P = 0.02), PNI (P = 0.01) lymph node metastasis (P = 0.003). However, no significant association was found between GMS with Grade (P = 0.98) and Stage (P = 0.36). Conclusion: Low GMS was associated with good outcome and high GMS with poor outcome. This score can be used for risk stratification, can be of clinical utility and may be applied to pathological descriptions of CRC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The open technique for the placement of the first trocar in laparoscopic surgery has become the preferred method due to the reduced number of complications associated with it. In 2002 we reported our technique, which has been widely accepted at many centers, including all the units of our hospital. We now report on a series of 6,000 cases in which this technique was used. METHOD: The method is the same as that reported by us previously (Surg Endosc 16:1366-1370, [10]) except for the minor modification of using a Mayo towel clip instead of the Allis forceps for holding the cicatrix pillar, as the pillar tends not to slip out of the former. During closure, Allis forceps is used to lift the divided rectus sheath on each side to take the suture bite and ensure complete secure closure. A total of 6,000 consecutive cases have been performed using this technique in two tertiary care hospitals over the last 11 years. RESULTS: A total of 6,000 cases (5,350 females and 650 males) were operated on over an 11-year period. There were no visceral or vascular complications. Four hundred seventy-five patients (7.9%) had had previous abdominal surgery. The supraumbilical route was used in 348 patients and lateral entry in 90 patients. Port-site hernias were seen in 25 cases (0.4%) and wound infections in 56 cases (0.9%). The average time for trocar placement was 2 min (range = 1-12 min) and the average port size was 15 mm (range = 12-22 mm). The average time for port closure at the end of the procedure was 3 min (range = 1-7 min). CONCLUSIONS: The technique of open-trocar placement in laparoscopic surgery has now become standardized, with its safety having been well established. Our experience has shown that this technique is safe, effective, reproducible, easy to learn, can be performed quickly, and has excellent results.

RESUMEN

Anal malignancies are rare, and of these squamous cell carcinoma and basaloid squamous cell carcinoma are the most common types. Anal basaloid squamous carcinoma (BSC) can show a variety of patterns including unusual variants with cribriform areas resembling adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). BSC is reported more frequently in elderly females. Although the histopathology of BSC is characteristic, its cytomorphology is rarely described in the anorectal region. Due to overlapping morphological features, it is challenging to distinguish between ACC and BSC. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is mandatory for this distinction and definite diagnosis, as it is a highly aggressive tumor with a tendency for distant metastasis. An interesting and rare case of BSC with ACC-pattern arising in the anal canal with liver metastasis in a middle-aged male is reported here. The aim is to highlight its cytological features, correlation with histology, IHC and its differential diagnoses.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To compare experts' perceived usefulness of audit filters from Ghana, Cameroon, WHO and those locally developed; generate context-appropriate audit filters for trauma care in selected hospitals in urban India; and explore characteristics of audit filters that correlate to perceived usefulness. DESIGN: A mixed-methods approach using a multicentre online Delphi technique. SETTING: Two large tertiary hospitals in urban India. METHODS: Filters were rated on a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of perceived usefulness, with the option to add new filters and comments. The filters were categorised into three groups depending on their origin: low and middle-income countries (LMIC), WHO and New (locally developed), and their scores compared. Significance was determined using Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test. We performed a content analysis of the comments. RESULTS: 26 predefined and 15 new filter suggestions were evaluated. The filters had high usefulness scores (mean overall score 9.01 of 10), with the LMIC filters having significantly higher scores compared with those from WHO and those newly added. Three themes were identified in the content analysis relating to medical relevance, feasibility and specificity. CONCLUSIONS: Audit filters from other LMICs were deemed highly useful in the urban India context. This may indicate that the transferability of defined trauma audit filters between similar contexts is high and that these can provide a starting point when implemented as part of trauma quality improvement programmes in low-resource settings.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Common bile duct stones (CBDS) that are seen in the Asian population are very different from those seen in the west. It is not infrequent to see multiple, large, and impacted stones and a hugely dilated CBD. Many of these patients have been managed by open CBD exploration (OCBDE), even after the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), because these large stones pose significant challenges for extraction by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. This series presents the largest experience of managing CBDS using a laparoscopic approach from Indian subcontinent. METHODS: Between 2003 and 2009, 150 patients with documented CBDS were treated laparoscopically at a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi. Of these, 4 patients were managed through transcystic route and 140 through the transcholedochal route. RESULTS: There were 34 men and 116 women patients with age ranging from 15 to 72 years. The mean size of the CBD on ultrasound was 11.7 ± 3.7 mm and on MRCP 13.8 ± 4.7 mm. The number of stones extracted varied from 1 to 70 and the size of the extracted stones from 5 to 30 mm. The average duration of surgery was 139.9 ± 26.3 min and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 103.4 ± 85.9 ml. There were 6 conversions to open procedures, 1 postoperative death (0.7%), and 23 patients (15%) had nonfatal postoperative complications. Three patients had retained stones (2%) and one developed recurrent stone (0.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Even in patients with multiple, large, and impacted CBDS, there is scope for a minimally invasive procedure with its attendant benefits in the form of laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Since the first retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (RPPL) was reported by Gaur and associates in 1994, its technique has improved considerably. The applicability and indications of the procedure are expanding with advances in technology, expertise, and experience. To date, there has been no prospective study in the literature about the role of preoperative Double-J (D-J) ureteral stenting in patients who undergo RPPL. This study is an endeavor to evaluate the role of preoperative D-J stenting in RPPL. METHODS: The study included 184 patients, who were randomized into 2 groups. Group A included 95 patients, who underwent RPPL with D-J stenting. Group B included 89 patients, who underwent RPPL without D-J stenting. In group A, D-J stents were inserted under local anesthesia preoperatively, on the side of surgery. Complications during surgery and during the postoperative period were carefully recorded. RESULTS: The duration of drainage and volume in group A was significantly lower than in group B. The duration of postoperative stay was significantly reduced in group A (mean 3.3 vs. 5.74 days). The analgesic requirement in group A also was significantly lower than in group B (mean 378.95 vs. 558.99 mg). No statistically significant difference existed between the two groups, in terms of minor intraoperative and postoperative complications (25.3% vs. 29.2%; p < or = 0.547). CONCLUSIONS: D-J stenting and type of renal pelvis influenced the results, i.e., duration of drainage, analgesic requirement, and duration of stay, in patients undergoing RPPL. However, there was no significant difference in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications. D-J stent group had significant increase in the rate of urinary tract infection postoperatively.
