RESUMO
Introduction Endoscopic resection offers advantages over surgical resection for early colorectal cancer (ECC). However, there might be a presumed risk of recurrence. We aimed to determine the risk of recurrence after endoscopic removal of ECC. Methods A single-centre series of endoscopic resections for ECC. Patients were stratified according to four risk factors: positive resection margins, Haggitt 4, lymphatic/vascular invasion and tumour budding. Results We included 127 patients. Haggitt classification was grade 4 in 54.0%. Positive margins were found in 43 (33.9%), 16 (12.6%) had lymphatic or vascular invasion, and 5 (4.0%) had high grade budding. In 82 (64.5%) endoscopic excision was the definitive treatment, 45 (35.4%) underwent surgery. Six patients (13.3%) had residual tumour on specimen and/or node metastases. Postoperative complications occurred in ten (22.2%). At a median follow-up of 63 months, none of the 82 patients treated with endoscopic resection alone had recurrence. After stratifying patients according to risk factors, those who had residual tumour also had ≥2 risk factors. Conclusions Endoscopic follow up might be a valid option for patients with ECC. A risk-adjusted management seems prudent (AU)
Introducción La resección endoscópica ofrece claras ventajas frente a la cirugía en el tratamiento del cáncer de colon inicial (ECC). Sin embargo, existe un riesgo de recurrencia tanto a nivel del lecho de polipectomía como a nivel ganglionar. El objetivo del estudio es determinar el riesgo de recurrencia tras la resección endoscópica del ECC. Métodos Serie retrospectiva unicéntrica de resecciones endoscópicas de ECC. Se analizaron cuatro factores de riesgo en la pieza de polipectomía: el margen de resección afecto, Haggitt 4, invasión linfovascular y la presencia de budding tumoral. Resultados Se incluyeron 127 pacientes: Haggitt 4 en el 54%, margen de resección afecto en el 33,9%, infiltración linfática o vascular en el 12,6% y budding tumoral de alto grado en el 4%. En 82 pacientes (64,5%), la resección endoscópica fue el tratamiento definitivo. En 45 (35,4%) se realizó una colectomía oncológica. Seis pacientes (13,3%) presentaron tumor residual en el lecho de la polipectomía y/o a nivel de los ganglios linfáticos. La morbilidad postoperatoria fue del 22% y la mortalidad del 0%. Tras un seguimiento medio de 63 meses, ninguno de los 82 pacientes del grupo de polipectomía presentó recurrencia tumoral. Tras dividir a los pacientes según el número de factores de riesgo presentes, aquellos que presentaron tumor residual en la pieza de colectomía presentaban a su vez ≥ 2 factores de riesgo. Conclusiones El seguimiento endoscópico puede ser una opción válida en los pacientes con ECC. El manejo de estos pacientes debe ajustarse al riesgo individual, en función del número de factores de riesgo (AU)

AIM: The aim of the study was to compare the incidence of perineal hernia and the perineal wound morbidity following extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) between two groups - primary perineal closure and reconstruction with a biological mesh. METHOD: One hundred and forty-seven consecutive patients who underwent ELAPE for primary rectal cancer between January 2007 and December 2018 in two tertiary referral centres were retrospectively identified from prospective databases. Perineal closure was carried out via primary closure or with a biological mesh (porcine dermal collagen mesh). Outcome measures were perineal hernia and perineal wound morbidity (infection, dehiscence, persistent sinus and chronic pain). RESULTS: A total of 139 patients were included in the study. A prophylactic mesh was used in 80 (57.5%) and primary closure was practised in 59 (42.4%) patients. The median follow-up was 30 (interquartile range 46.88) months. Thirty patients (21.6%) developed perineal hernia. No significant differences were found between prophylactic mesh and primary closure (16.3% vs 23.3%, P = 0.07). The median period between surgery and hernia diagnosis was 8 months in the primary closure group and 24 months in the mesh group (P < 0.01). Perineal wound morbidity was significantly higher in the prophylactic mesh group (55% vs 33.9%, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In our study, the use of a biological mesh did not reduce the rate of perineal hernia, although it did delay its appearance. Perineal closure using a biological mesh may increase perineal morbidity, both acute and chronic.

BACKGROUND: During kidney transplantation, the total time of organ ischemia consists of first warm ischemia time (WIT1), cold ischemia time (CIT), and a second WIT (WIT2). Rising graft temperature during WIT2, which comprises the creation of vascular anastomoses, increases oxygen demand and tissue damage, especially in the kidney tubular cells. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of WIT2 on early and long-term kidney graft function. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 554 consecutive adult recipients, who received their first kidney graft from a deceased donor between 2003 and 2013. RESULTS: Mean WIT2 was 25.2 min. Donors' sex, age, presence of hypertension, body mass index (BMI), and the cause of brain death showed no effect on WIT2. Weak positive correlations were found between the duration of WIT2 and both recipients' age (r = 0.11; P < .01) and BMI (r = 0.14; P < .01). Multivariate regression analysis confirmed the independent influence of age (ß = 0.107 [95% confidence interval, 0.017 to 0.197] per year; P = .02) but not BMI (P = .09). WIT2 influenced early graft function and was significantly longer in patients with primary graft nonfunction than in other recipients (35.3 vs 24.9 min; P < .01). According to receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, a WIT2 value >26 min was predictive of primary graft nonfunction, with 64% specificity and 58% sensitivity. No correlations were found between WIT2 and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the long-term follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: This study found that WIT2 may significantly influence the early graft function. We also found that the creation time of vascular anastomoses does not affect the long-term kidney graft excretory function.

BACKGROUND: The deceased-donor kidney pool consists of 2 different populations: multiple-organ donors (MOD) and kidney donors alone (KDA). In MOD, more complicated procedure and lowest priority for kidney procurement may affect graft survival. On the other hand, poor donor status and higher comorbidity are more frequent in KDA transplants. The aim of this study was to provide detailed characteristics of the 2 groups of kidney donors (KDA vs MOD) in our center and to analyze the potential influence of the donor type on the early and long-term kidney graft function and recipient outcome. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 729 first cadaveric kidney transplant recipients: 499 of them received the organ from MOD, 230 from KDA. RESULTS: The frequency of delayed graft function (DGF) was higher in KDA than in MOD transplants (38.7 vs 25.1%; P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that donor age, KDA, and early acute rejection independently increased the risk of DGF occurrence, whereas recipient age and cold ischemia time increased the risk of primary graft nonfunction. Kidney excretory function was significantly worse in KDA up to 10 years after transplantation. There were no differences in kidney graft and patient survivals, frequency of proteinuria, acute rejection, and cytomegalovirus episodes, and post-transplantation diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: (1) The use of a kidney from KDA negatively affects early and late kidney graft function compared with MOD. (2) The long-term kidney graft and patient survivals are not affected by the type of organ procurement.
