[Use of absorbable fibrin sealant patch to strengthen the gastrointestinal anastomosis performed on patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis treated with intention to cure by debulking surgery and intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy]. / Aplicación de sellante tisular como refuerzo de las anastomosis digestivas realizadas en pacientes con carcinomatosis peritoneal tratados con intención curativa mediante procedimiento quirúrgico de citorreducción y quimioterapia intraperitoneal intraoperatoria hipertérmica.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal disseminated disease, regardless of its origin, should currently be considered a locoregional disease stage, and thus a candidate for an intention to treat therapeutic option with debulking surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether or not the collagen sponge with fibrinogen 5.5mg and thrombin 2IU, applied as a tissue sealant and gastrointestinal reinforcement sutures, contributes to the reduction of anastomotic leak. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Quasi-experimental, comparative, prospective, case/control study conducted on patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin, operated on in our Peritoneal Cancer Surgery Unit from 2011 to April 2014. The study included 73 patients, 43 (59%) men and 30 (41%) women with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin, candidates for debulking surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Gastrointestinal anastomoses were performed on 49 (67%) patients. These patients were randomised into 2 groups: A control (27) and B hypothesis (22) reinforced with sponge suture. RESULTS: The total number of anastomoses performed was 49 (mean: 1.9), with 27 in the control group A (mean: 1.88) and 22 in B (mean: 2.16). The debulkings achieved were: complete debulking 0.38 (77.5%), complete debulking 1: 7 (14.8%), and 4 (8.1%) did not undergo hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy due to complete debulking>2. Intestinal fistula: 3 cases (6.1%) in A group vs 0 in B. CONCLUSIONS: In our series, the use of a fibrinogen and thrombin sponge has contributed to a significant reduction in the risk of gastrointestinal fistulas in high risk oncology patients.

¿Qué se investiga en cáncer de recto? / What's new in rectal cancer research

INTRODUCCIÓN: La evidencia clínica tiene más peso en las especialidades médicas que en las quirúrgicas. El cáncer de recto (CR) no es una excepción. En este artículo, nos hemos planteado explorar de forma cuantitativa y cualitativa, qué cuestiones y materias relacionadas con el CR están siendo investigadas en el momento actual y, posteriormente, analizar esta información para conocer qué respuestas podrá darnos la investigación clínica en el futuro. MÉTODOS: La obtención de datos se realizó en abril de 2014 y se basó en 3 fuentes: 2 registros institucionales de ensayos clínicos, -el registro americano (clinicaltrials.gov) y el registro europeo (EU Clinical Trials Register) - y una encuesta realizada a través de la Asociación Española de Coloproctología (AECP). Los estudios obtenidos fueron exportados a una base de datos diseñada especialmente para esta revisión, en la que se incluyeron además una serie de elementos descriptivos que permitieran la catalogación de los estudios. Los resultados de la encuesta AECP fueron analizados de forma separada. RESULTADOS: Hay actualmente en marcha 216 estudios referidos al CR. Dos tercios son fundamentalmente oncológicos. Casi un tercio son quirúrgicos. Las líneas de investigación se centran en la mejora del tratamiento preoperatorio: nuevos fármacos, nuevos esquemas de quimiorradioterapia (generalmente de inducción o consolidación) u optimización de la radioterapia y sus efectos. Los ensayos clínicos quirúrgicos estudian aspectos relacionados con robótica, laparoscopia, estomas, anastomosis bajas, CR distal y tratamiento local. CONCLUSIONES: La mayoría de los estudios actuales sobre CR analizan aspectos relacionados con la quimiorradioterapia y sus efectos. Un tercio se centran en temas especialmente quirúrgicos

INTRODUCTION: Clinical evidence has a more significant role in medical specialties than in surgery. Rectal cancer (CR) is no exception. This paper explores what CR-related subjects are being investigated at the present time in a quantitative and qualitative way and analyzes this information to know what possible answers clinical research could give us in the future. METHODS: The data collection was carried out in April 2014 and was based on 3 sources: 2 institutional clinical trials registries -American (clinicaltrials.gov) and European (EU Clinical Trials Register)- and a survey given to members of the Asociación Española de Coloproctología (AECP). The obtained studies were exported to a database designed especially for this review, which included a number of descriptive elements that would allow the cataloging of the different studies. The AECP survey results were analyzed separately. RESULTS: There are currently 216 clinical trials ongoing related to CR. Two-thirds are primarily conducted by oncologists. Nearly a third are surgical. The research focuses on improving preoperative treatment: new drugs, new schemes of chemo-radiotherapy (usually induction or consolidation schemes) or optimization of radiotherapy and its effects. Surgical clinical trials are related to robotics, laparoscopy, stoma, low colorectal anastomosis, distal CR and local treatment. CONCLUSION: Most of the current clinical trials ongoing on CR are analyzing aspects of chemo-radiotherapy and its effects. A third focus on purely surgical issues

Estado actual del tratamiento de la colitis fulminante / Current status of the treatment of fulminant colitis

La colitis fulminante es una entidad cuya definición no está bien establecida y que supone una complicación grave. Sus principales causas son la colitis ulcerosa y la infección por Clostridium difficile. El manejo multidisciplinar integrado por gastroenterólogos y cirujanos es fundamental, con un tratamiento médico intensivo de inicio y cirugía precoz en los pacientes que no responden. Es importante dilucidar si nos encontramos ante un brote de EII o por el contrario, se trata de una colitis infecciosa, ya que aunque las medidas terapéuticas generales a adoptar serán las mismas, exigirán medidas específicas opuestas

Fulminant colitis is not a well-defined entity, that constitutes a severe complication. It usually occurs in the course of úlcerative colitis and Clostridium difficile colitis. A multidisciplinary management combining gastroenterologist and surgeons is crucial with intensive medical treatment and early surgery in non-responders. It is important to distinguish if we are facing a flare of IBD or, on the contrary, it is an infectious colitis, due to the fact that although general therapeutic measures to adopt will be the same, they will demand opposed specific measures
