Clinical and cost outcomes of a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated patch versus drainage after axillary lymph node dissection in breast cancer: results from a multicentre randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes between breast cancer patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection with postoperative management using a polyethylene glycol-coated patch versus axillary drainage. The direct costs associated with both postoperative management strategies were also evaluated. METHODS: This was a multicentre RCT in women with breast cancer who underwent axillary lymph node dissection (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04487561). Patients were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to receive either drainage or a polyethylene glycol-coated patch as postoperative management. The primary endpoints were the need for an emergency department visit for any event related to the surgery and the rate of seroma development. RESULTS: A total of 227 patients were included , 115 in the patch group (50.7 per cent) and 112 (29.4 per cent ) in the drainage group. The incidence of emergency department visits was significantly greater for patients with drainage versus a polyethylene glycol-coated patch (incidence rate difference 26.1 per cent, 95 per cent c.i. 14.5 to 37.7 per cent; P < 0.001). Conversely, the seroma rate was significantly higher in the polyethylene glycol-coated patch group (incidence rate difference 22.8 per cent, 95 per cent c.i. 6.7 to 38.9 per cent; P < 0.0055). Compared with drainage, using a polyethylene glycol-coated patch resulted in cost savings of €100.41 per patient. An incremental cost-effectiveness ratio analysis found that drainage was associated with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of €7594.4 for no need for hospital admission and €491.7 for no need for an emergency department visit. CONCLUSION: Compared with patients who received drainage after axillary lymph node dissection, the use of a polyethylene glycol-coated patch resulted in a higher rate of seroma, but a lower number of postoperative outpatient or emergency department visits and thus a reduction in overall costs.

Cirugía mayor ambulatoria en patología mamaria / Major ambulatory surgery in breast diseases

Introducción: El tratamiento quirúrgico de la patología mamaria (PM) ha evolucionado aumentando su manejo como cirugía mayor ambulatoria (CMA). El objetivo de este estudio es analizar una serie de pacientes intervenidas de PM en régimen de CMA durante el año 2017 para evaluar su calidad y seguridad. Métodos: Se realiza análisis retrospectivo de las pacientes intervenidas de PM en el Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia desde enero hasta diciembre del 2017 incluidos en programa de CMA, estudiando el número de pacientes, los motivos de exclusión, el tipo de procedimientos quirúrgicos realizados, el índice de sustitución (IS), la tasa de ingreso (TI) y las causas de conversión al ingreso, complicaciones postoperatorias y el índice de satisfacción. Se compara con un grupo control del año 2013. Resultados: En 2017 se realizaron 396 intervenciones por PM, siendo de PM benigna (PMB) 170 intervenciones y de PM maligna (PMM) 226 intervenciones. El IS para la PM global es del 72,8% y para PMB fue 93,4%. El IS para PMM fue 57,2%, que ha progresado en los últimos años desde el 45,4% en 2013. La TI inesperado de la PMM fue del 14,1%, mientras que en la PMB fue del 0,6%. La PMM con ingreso presentó más morbilidad (17%) que la PMM sin ingreso (8,5%) y la PMB (6,5%). Conclusiones: En PMM del Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia el IS ha aumentado y la TI depende de la linfadenectomía tras biopsia peroperatoria del ganglio centinela. La CMA para el tratamiento de la PM es segura y eficiente

Introduction: The use of ambulatory surgery (AS) for breast pathology (BP) has increased. The objective of this study is to analyse a group of patients treated surgically for breast pathology in order to evaluate its quality and security in a MAS setting in 2017. Methods: A retrospective review of all patients undergoing breast surgery was conducted within an AS programme from January to December 2017 in Consorcio Hospital General Universitario of Valencia (CHGUV). The study analysed the number of patients, exclusion reasons, type of surgical procedures, evolution of substitution rate (SR), rate and causes of conversion to admission, postoperative complications, motives for not being included in the ambulatory programme and the satisfaction rate of the patients treated with ambulatory surgery. This has been compared with a 2013 group. Results: In 2017, 396 procedures for BP were performed: 170 for benign and 226 for malignant disease. The SR for the global mammary pathology was 72.8%. The SR for benign pathology was 93.4% and the SR for malignant pathology was 57.2%, which has increased in recent years from 45.4% in 2013. The unexpected hospitalization rate (HR) of malignant pathologies was 14.1%, while the HR in benign pathologies was 0.6%. Patients hospitalized for malignant pathologies presented higher complications (17%) than ambulatory patients (8.5%) and benign pathologies (6.5%). Conclusions: At the CHGUV, the SR has steadily increased in malignant pathologies. The unexpected hospitalization rate is determined by perioperative sentinel lymph node biopsy results. AS for the treatment of mammary pathology is efficient and safe

Relación del estrés oxidativo y la pérdida de peso obtenida en pacientes obesos mórbidos mediante cirugía bariátrica con la técnica del cruce duodenal / Relationship of oxidative stress and weight loss achieved in morbid obese patients by means of bariatric surgery using the duodenal switch technique

Introducción: El estrés oxidativo, presente de forma evidente en los obesos mórbidos, es un indicador del estado inflamatorio crónico que representa la obesidad y posible nexo de unión con sus comorbilidades, algunas de las cuales son un importante factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, por lo que la atenuación de su intensidad se ha convertido en un objetivo terapéutico. Material y método: Hemos intervenido de forma consecutiva, mediante la técnica quirúrgica del cruce duodenal, a 28 pacientes afectos de obesidad mórbida, realizando un estudio del estrés oxidativo presente en ellos mediante la determinación de productos de oxidación molecular y de antioxidantes, en el preoperatorio y a lo largo de un año tras la cirugía. Se ha controlado la evolución ponderal y la evolución de las comorbilidades presentes. Resultados: Los pacientes de la serie presentaron una media de edad de 43 ± 1 años y un IMC medio de 50,3. El 82% presentó comorbilidad asociada. Tras la cirugía todos los pacientes perdieron peso de forma progresiva a lo largo del periodo estudiado, con mejoría paralela de las comorbilidades y disminución progresiva de los valores del EO y mejoría de los sistemas antioxidantes, siendo los valores de EO al finalizar el estudio similares a los de la población normal. Conclusión: La pérdida de peso obtenida consigue una mejora de las comorbilidades y de los valores de estrés oxidativo de modo que al final del estudio los resultados obtenidos son similares a los de la población normal (AU)

INTRODUCTION: Oxidative stress (OS), which is overtly present in morbid obesity, is an indicator of a chronic inflammatory state associated to obesity and possibly related with the associated comorbidities, some of which represent an important risk factor for the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, so that decreasing its intensity has become a treatment priority. MATERIALS AND METHODS: he have consecutively performed the duodenal crossing surgical technique in 28 patients suffering from morbidobesity, assessing the level of oxidative stress by the determination of the products of molecular oxidation and antioxidants before the surgery and throughout one year after the surgery. Weight evolution and the progression of the comorbidities already present were assessed. RESULTS: the mean age of the patients in this series was 43 ± 1 years and the mean BMI 50.3. 82% had associated comorbidities. After the surgery, all the patients progressively lost weight throughout the study period, with a parallel improvement of the comorbidities and a progressive decrease in OS values and improvement of the antioxidant systems, the OS values being similar to those of a normal population at the end of the study. CONCLUSION: The weight loss achieved allows improving the comorbidities and the oxidative stress values so that at the end of the study the results obtained are similar to those of a normal population (AU)

[Oxidative stress; a comparative study between normal and morbid obesity group population]. / Estrés oxidativo; estudio comparativo entre un grupo de población normal y un grupo de población obesa mórbida.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of oxidative stress in morbid obese patients by comparing their results to those of a normal population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We have studied the metabolites most representative of OS, both in the blood (MDA, 8-oxo-dG, GSSG and the ratio GSSG/GSH) and in the urine (8-oxo-dG), as well as the GSH antioxidant. A descriptive analysis of the sample was performed. The Kolmogorv-Smirnov test was used to assess whether the distribution of the different metabolites was normal. In the case of normal distribution, the Student's t test was used to compare the means, the Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-parametric data, with a significance level of p < 0.05 for hypothesis contrast. RESULTS: There were 28 patients in each group, without statistically significant differences regarding age and gender. The group of patients with morbid obesity presented an average BMI of 50.1 ± 4 and 23.9 ± 6 in the group with normal weight. 67.8% of the patients with morbid obesity had other comorbidities. There were no associated pathologies in the control group. All the values for the different OS metabolites were higher in the group of patients with morbid obesity than in the control group, whereas the activity of the antioxidant systems (GSH) was lower in the group with morbid obesity. CONCLUSION: The figures of OS metabolites obtained in the group of patients with morbid obesity confirm the presence of OS in obesity at a pathological level given the differences obtained in the group of normal population.

Objetivo: Determinar el grado de Estrés Oxidativo en pacientes obesos mórbidos comparando los resultados con los de una población normal. Material y método: Hemos estudiado los metabolitos más representativos del EO, tanto en sangre (MDA, 8-oxo-dG, GSSG y la relación GSSG/GSH) como en orina (8-oxo-dG), así como el antioxidante GSH. Realizamos un análisis descriptivo de la muestra. Se realizó la prueba de Kolmogorv-Smirnov para evaluar si la distribución de los distintos metabolitos seguía un modelo de normalidad. En los casos de distribución normal, se empleó la T de Student para comparar medias, utilizando la U de Mann-Whitney para los datos no paramétricos, utilizando en los contrastes de hipótesis el nivel de significación p < 0,05. Resultados: Los pacientes fueron 28 en cada grupo, sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto a edad y sexo. El grupo de pacientes con obesidad mórbida presentó un IMC medio de 50,1 ± 4 y de 23,9 ± 6 el grupo normopeso. Un 67,8% de los pacientes obesos mórbidos presentaron comorbilidades. No había patología asociada en el grupo control. Todos los valores de los distintos metabolitos de EO fueron más elevados en el grupo de obesos mórbidos que en el grupo control mientras que la actividad de los sistemas antioxidantes (GSH) fue menor en el grupo de obesos mórbidos. Conclusión: Los valores de los metabolitos de EO obtenidos en el grupo de obesos mórbidos confirma la presencia de EO en la obesidad, de un modo que se puede considerar patológico dadas las diferencias obtenidas en el grupo de población normal.
