RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: In the decision to perform elective surgery, it is of great interest to have data about the outcomes of surgery to individualize patients who could safely undergo sigmoid resection. The aim of this study was to provide information on the outcomes of elective sigmoid resection for sigmoid diverticular disease (SDD) at a national level. METHODS: All consecutive patients who had elective surgery for SDD (2010-2021) were included in this retrospective, multicenter, cohort study. Patients were identified from institutional review board-approved databases in French member centers of the French Surgical Association. The endpoints of the study were the early and the long-term postoperative outcomes and an evaluation of the risk factors for 90-day severe postoperative morbidity and a definitive stoma after an elective sigmoidectomy for SDD. RESULTS: In total, 4617 patients were included. The median [IQR] age was 61 [18.0;100] years, the mean ± SD body mass index (BMI) was 26.8 ± 4 kg/m2, and 2310 (50%) were men. The indications for surgery were complicated diverticulitis in 50% and smoldering diverticulitis in 47.4%. The procedures were performed laparoscopically for 88% and with an anastomosis for 83.8%. The severe complication rate on postoperative day 90 was 11.7%, with a risk of anastomotic leakage of 4.7%. The independent risk factors in multivariate analysis were an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score ≥ 3, an open approach, and perioperative blood transfusion. Age, perioperative blood transfusion, and Hartmann's procedure were the three independent risk factors for a permanent stoma. CONCLUSIONS: This series provides a real-life picture of elective sigmoidectomy for SDD at a national level. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Comité National Information et Liberté (CNIL) (n°920361).

Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy, named PIPAC, is now used in many centers around the world and as an intraperitoneal drug delivery system for treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Recently, many of us have encountered problems during PIPAC procedures due to changes in material and production features of the original PIPAC nebulizer. Concomitantly, new PIPAC nebulizers proposed by other manufacturers are being launched on the market; which claim that they are the same as the original device in delivering PIPAC. However, these new devices are all different in terms of materials, technical characteristics and costs. We have considered that, to maintain the acquired results of PIPAC, we must ensure that the new systems are equivalent. The characteristics deemed essential by the expert group are as follows: 1: The nebulizer must be able to create droplets through an injector pressure between 10 and 20 bars, 2: The mean droplet size must be 3 micrometers, with 95% of the droplets between 0 and 10 micrometers, 3: The diffusion angle must be 70 degrees, which is the minimum.

BACKGROUND: Two definitions of a positive circumferential resection margin (CRM) in esophageal cancer coexist: one by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) (CRM = 0 mm) and another by the Royal College of Pathologists (RCP) (CRM ≤ 1 mm). This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of both definitions in esophageal cancer and to identify a new cutoff value for the CRM to predict survival. METHODS: Patients who underwent curative esophageal resection for locally advanced (≥ pT3) adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma were selected from 2007 to 2016. The CRM was reassessed using an ocular micrometer. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival were estimated with uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: The study enrolled 283 patients: 48 with a positive CRM according to the CAP definition and 171 with a positive CRM according to the RCP definition. In the multivariate analysis, a positive CRM according to both definitions was significantly associated with a poor OS (CAP: hazard ratio [HR], 2.26, p < 0.001; RCP: HR, 1.42, p = 0.035). A CRM of 0 mm was predictive of a worse OS and DFS than a CRM of 1 mm or less (p < 0.0001), whereas no significant difference was found between a CRM greater than 1 mm and a CRM of 1 mm or less, indicating that the CAP definition was more accurate for predicting prognosis and recurrence. New cutoff CRM values of 100 µm in squamous cell carcinoma and 200 µm in adenocarcinoma were optimal for predicting OS. CONCLUSION: The CAP definition was more accurate for predicting prognosis and recurrence. The study identified a new cutoff value of CRM according to histologic type.

OBJECTIVE: Using the example of Pressurized Intra Peritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC), we analyse the development model of this procedure and provide an ethical analysis of the involvement of the industry in a new development. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: In the case of breakthrough innovation, medical training is essential for safe use of the new procedure. In some cases, pharmaceutical companies decide to organise this training. But when it becomes the only training opportunity to use the device, scientists and clinicians could be exposed to a conflict of interest? METHODS: We performed a literature review of PIPAC publications using the STROBE criteria. Then, we conducted interviews with an expert panel to analyse the ethical impact of involvement of the industry in the development of the PIPAC procedure. RESULTS: The number of publications has increased every year since the first publication in Germany, where the technology was developed in 2013. The scientific production was of good quality, with a mean STROBE score of 18.2 ± 2.4 out of 22 points. Ten of the 33 included studies declared a conflict of interest. From the interviews, the main axe concerning the implication of the industry was the training model. The company had decided that only trained and approval surgeon could perform the PIPAC procedure. All four interviewed practitioners agreed that it was initially a good way to implement the procedure safely, but later they felt uncomfortable about the control and validation by the industry. CONCLUSION: Based on the growing number of published papers from a growing number of international centres, the controlled training model is not limiting. However, the different levels of conflict of interest complicate transparency, and we postulated that this development model is limited to the beginning of the procedure diffusion. CLINICALTRIAL.

Gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) is the 5th most common cancer in the world; in France, however, its incidence has been steadily decreasing. Twenty-five experts brought together under the aegis of the French Association of Surgery collaborated in the drafting of a series of recommendations for surgical management of GA. As concerns preoperative evaluation and work-up, echo-endoscopy aimed at clarifying lymph node status should be performed in all candidates for surgical resection and exploratory laparoscopy in cases of GA cT3/T4 and/or N+ for peritoneal carcinomatosis. On the other hand, PET-scan should not be performed systematically, but only when the other modalities for diagnosis prove insufficient. Laparotomy remains the route of choice to achieve total or partial gastrectomy with D2 lymph node lymphadenectomy for advanced lesions (>T2N0). To limit the risk of dumping syndrome and esophageal reflux and as a way of reestablishing continuity, construction of a jejunal pouch on Roux-en-Y following total gastrectomy is recommended. In cases of peritoneal carcinosis in GA with a low peritoneal cancer index (PCI) (<7) in a patient in good general condition whose disease is controlled by chemotherapy, macroscopically complete cytoreduction with intraperitoneal hyperthermal chemotherapy will probably be required, and it will have to take place in an expert center. Only in the event of Child A cirrhosis may gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy be considered. Palliative gastrectomy or surgical bypass for distal stomach obstruction in a patient in good general condition may also be envisioned.

When peritoneal metastases are diagnosed (strong agreement of experts): (i) seek advice from a multidisciplinary coordination meeting (MCM) with large experience in peritoneal disease (e.g. BIG RENAPE network); (ii) transfer (or not) the patient to a referral center with experience in hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), according to the advice of the MCM. With regard to systemic chemotherapy (strong agreement of experts): (i) it should be performed both before and after surgery, (ii) for no longer than 6 months; (iii) without postoperative anti-angiogenetic drugs. With regard to cytoreductive surgery (strong agreement of experts): (i) Radical surgery requires a xiphopubic midline incision; (ii) no cytoreductive surgery via laparoscopy. With regard to HIPEC: HIPEC can be proposed for trials outside an HIPEC referral center (weak agreement between experts): (i) if surgery is radical; (ii) if the expected morbidity is "reasonable"; (iii) if the indication for HIPEC was suggested by a MCM, and; (iv) mitomycin is preferred to oxaliplatin (which cannot be recommended) for this indication.

PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of MR enterography (MRE) using combined T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced (CE) sequences with that of combined T2- and diffusion-weighted (DW) sequences for the detection of complex enteric Crohn's disease (CD). MATERIALS: Thirty-eight patients who underwent surgery for CD complications and preoperative MRE from 2011 to 2016 were included. MRE examinations were blindly analyzed independently by one junior and one senior abdominal radiologist for the presence of fistula, stenosis and abscesses. During a first reading session, T2-weighted images (WI), steady-state sequences and DW-MRE were reviewed (set 1). During a separate distant session, T2-WI, True-FISP and CE-MRE were reviewed (set 2). Performance of each reader was evaluated by comparison with the standard of reference established using intraoperative and pathological findings. RESULTS: Forty-eight fistulas, 43 stenoses and 11 abscesses were found. For the senior radiologist, sensitivity for the detection of fistula, stenosis and abscess ranged from 80% to 100% for set 1 and 88% to 100% for set 2 and specificity ranged from 56% to 70% for set 1 and 53% to 93% for set 2, with no significant difference between the sets (p = 0.342-0.429). For the junior radiologist, sensitivity ranged from 53% to 63% for set 1 and 64% to 88% for set 2 and specificity ranged from 0% to 25% for set 1 and 17% to 40% for set 2 (p = 0.001 and 0.007, respectively). CONCLUSION: For a senior radiologist, DW-MRE has similar sensitivity as CE-MRE for the detection of CD complications. For a junior radiologist, CE-MRE yields the best results compared with DW-MRE. KEY POINTS: ⢠For experienced readers, DWI has similar diagnostic capability as contrast-enhanced MR imaging for the diagnosis of Crohn's disease complications. ⢠For senior radiologists, gadolinium chelate injection could be waived for the diagnosis of Crohn's disease complications. ⢠The interpretation of DWI for Crohn's disease complications requires some experience.

The goal of preoperative assessment of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal origin is to select candidates for curative surgery by evaluating the possibility of complete resection, and to plan the surgical procedure. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of lesional localization remains difficult even with current technical progress in imaging. Computed tomography (CT), the reference imaging technique, allows detection of both peritoneal and extra-peritoneal lesions. Sensitivity and specificity for detecting PC are 83% (95%CI: 79-86%) and 86% (95%CI: 82-89%), respectively. Functional imaging, with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography PET-CT allows efficient exploration of peritoneal lesions. MRI is operator-dependent, with a long learning curve, and is, at present, essentially used only in expert centers. A standardized protocol provided by the radiologists working with the French National Center for rare peritoneal tumors RENA-RAD (http://www.renape-online.fr/fr/espace-professionnel/rena-rad.html) is however available on line. PET-CT is particularly useful for identifying and defining extra-peritoneal disease. Combining imaging techniques, particular CT with MRI, seems to improve the calculation of the Peritoneal Cancer Index compared to CT alone. Surgical exploration is the reference technique to evaluate PC. Currently, the literature cannot confirm whether laparoscopy performs as well as laparotomy, but laparoscopy is, de facto, the fundamental tool to decrease the number of unnecessary laparotomies in these patients. To optimize the pre-, intra- and postoperative reporting of the extent of PC, the French National Network for management of PC (RENAPE and BIG-RENAPE: http://www.e-promise.org/) has offered on-line a free-of-charge, standardized, multidisciplinary and transversal software.

BACKGROUND: The prognostic value of the primary neoplasm responsible for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) remains poorly studied. The aim of this study was to determine the prognosis for patients with extra-appendicular PMP (EA-PMP) treated optimally with complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS: All patients treated for PMP with CCRS and HIPEC between 1994 and 2016 were selected retrospectively from a French multicentre database. Patients with EA-PMP had pathologically confirmed non-neoplastic appendices and were matched in a 1 : 4 ratio with patients treated for appendicular PMP (A-PMP), based on a propensity score. RESULTS: Some 726 patients were identified, of which 61 (EA-PMP group) were matched with 244 patients (A-PMP group). The origins of primary tumours in the EA-PMP group included the ovary (45 patients), colon (4), urachus (4), small bowel (1), pancreas (1) and unknown (6). The median peritoneal carcinomatosis index was comparable in EA-PMP and A-PMP groups (15·5 versus 18 respectively; P = 0·315). In-hospital mortality (3 versus 2·9 per cent; P = 1·000) and major morbidity 26 versus 25·0 per cent; P = 0·869) were also similar between the two groups. Median follow-up was 66·9 months. The 5-year overall survival rate was 87·8 (95 per cent c.i. 83·2 to 92·5) per cent in the A-PMP group and 87 (77 to 96) per cent in the EA-PMP group. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 66·0 (58·7 to 73·4) per cent and 70 (53 to 83) per cent respectively. CONCLUSION: Overall and disease-free survival following treatment with CCRS and HIPEC is similar in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei of appendicular or extra-appendicular origin.

PURPOSE: To investigate the possible relationships between sigmoid diverticula, the volume of the left lateral segment of the liver and sigmoid colon volvulus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The presence of sigmoid diverticula was analyzed in 36 patients (24 men, 12 women; mean age, 70.77±19.86 [SD] years) with sigmoid volvulus (group 1). The volumes of left lateral segment of the liver (i.e., segments 2 and 3 and further referred to as liver 1), liver 2 (i.e., segments 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8), total liver volume and liver volume ratio (LVR) (i.e., [liver 1/liver 2]×100) were calculated from abdominal CT performed distantly from the acute episode of sigmoid volvulus. Results of volumetric measurements in group 1 were compared with those of two groups of age and gender-matched control patients without hepatopathy: one patient group with sigmoid diverticula (group 2) and one group without sigmoid diverticula (group 3). RESULTS: No patients with sigmoid volvulus had diverticulum. Liver 1 volume was lower in group 1 (193.8cm3) than in group 2 (273.75cm3) (P=0.0003). Mean LVR was greater in group 2 (24.18%) than in group 1 (14.46%) (P=1×10-7) and group 3 (18.36%) (P=0.003). Mean LVR was greater in group 3 than in group 1 (P=0.01). No significant differences in liver 2 volume and total liver volumes were found between the 3 groups. CONCLUSION: Elasticity of colon wall associated with relative hypotrophy of left lateral segment of the liver are significantly associated with sigmoid volvulus. Further studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this association.

AIM OF THE STUDY: We set out to develop and evaluate the morbidity of a non-invasive hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedure in mice. HIPEC has been shown to improve overall survival in treating ovarian cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, related complications, toxicity and the lack of randomized trials limits its widespread use. To improve the surgical technique, there is a need for animal models that allow teams to work on large groups without burdensome logistics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To develop the model, we first determined optimal HIPEC conditions in 20 Black Six mice without carcinomatosis. To evaluate HIPEC morbidity, peritoneal carcinomatosis cells of ovarian origin were injected into the peritoneum of 10 pathogen-free Nude mice. The mice underwent HIPEC 21 days later under general anesthesia. An inflow catheter was introduced into the left hypochondria and an outflow catheter was introduced into the left iliac fossa. Bath infusion was oxaliplatin (920mg/m2) at 43°C for 12minutes. The mice were monitored and sacrificed two weeks after the procedure. RESULTS: No deaths were observed during the procedure and infusion was well tolerated throughout the HIPEC. One mouse died the day after the procedure. No major dehydration, hemoperitoneum or evisceration was observed. CONCLUSION: This mouse model of closed abdomen HIPEC has limited morbidity and could be a useful model to study HIPEC regimens and its effects on peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Adhesive closed-loop small bowel obstruction can lead to volvulus and ischemia with risk of necrosis. The vital prognosis and bowel viability are highly dependent on rapid management. The physical examination is often insufficient to establish the diagnosis and computed tomography is ordered. The whirl sign provides the best imaging evidence of volvulus and can be sufficient to establish the indication for surgery.
