RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify patients eligible for a 48-h stay after colorectal resection, to provide guidance for early discharge planning. METHODS: A bi-institutional retrospective cohort study was undertaken of consecutive patients undergoing major elective colorectal resection for benign or malignant pathology within a comprehensive enhanced recovery pathway between 2011 and 2017. Overall and severe (Clavien-Dindo grade IIIb or above) postoperative complication and readmission rates were compared between patients who were discharged within 48 h and those who had hospital stay of 48 h or more. Multinominal logistic regression analysis was performed to ascertain significant factors associated with a short hospital stay (less than 48 h). RESULTS: In total, 686 of 5122 patients (13·4 per cent) were discharged within 48 h. Independent factors favouring a short hospital stay were age below 60 years (odds ratio (OR) 1·34; P = 0·002), ASA grade less than III (OR 1·42; P = 0·003), restrictive fluid management (less than 3000 ml on day of surgery: OR 1·46; P < 0·001), duration of surgery less than 180 min (OR 1·89; P < 0·001), minimally invasive approach (OR 1·92; P < 0·001) and wound contamination grade below III (OR 4·50; P < 0·001), whereas cancer diagnosis (OR 0·55; P < 0·001) and malnutrition (BMI below 18 kg/m2 : OR 0·42; P = 0·008) decreased the likelihood of early discharge. Patients with a 48-h stay had fewer overall (10·8 per cent versus 30·6 per cent in those with a longer stay; P < 0·001) and fewer severe (2·6 versus 10·2 per cent respectively; P < 0·001) complications, and a lower readmission rate (9·0 versus 11·8 per cent; P = 0·035). CONCLUSION: Early discharge of selected patients is safe and does not increase postoperative morbidity or readmission rates. In these patients, outpatient colorectal surgery should be feasible on a large scale with logistical optimization.


ANTECEDENTES: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar pacientes candidatos para una estancia hospitalaria de 48 horas tras resecciones colónicas, con el fin de proporcionar una guía de planificación del alta precoz. MÉTODOS: Estudio de cohortes retrospectivo de pacientes consecutivos sometidos a resección colorrectal electiva mayor por patología benigna o maligna en el marco de un programa integral de recuperación intensificada (enhanced recovery pathway, ERP), de dos hospitales entre 2011 y 2017. Se compararon las tasas de complicaciones postoperatorias globales y graves (Clavien ≥ IIIb) y de reingresos entre dos grupos (< 48 horas versus ≥ 48 horas de estancia hospitalaria). Se llevó a cabo una regresión logística multinominal de factores significativos (P < 0,05) asociados con una estancia corta (< 48 horas). RESULTADOS: En total, 686/5.122 pacientes (13,4%) fueron dados de alta dentro de las primeras 48 horas. Los factores independientes que propiciaron una estancia corta fueron la edad < 60 años (razón de oportunidades, odds ratio, OR 1,34, P = 0,002), puntuación < 3 de la American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) (OR 1,42, P = 0,003), manejo restrictivo del aporte de líquidos (< 3000 mL en el día de la cirugía: OR 1,46, P < 0,001), duración de la cirugía < 180 minutos (OR 1,89, P < 0,001), abordaje mínimamente invasivo (OR 1,92, P < 0,001) and tipo de herida clase < 3 (OR 4,5, P < 0,001), mientras que el diagnóstico de cáncer (OR 0,55, P < 0,001) y la malnutrición (IMC < 18 kg/m2 : OR 0,42, P = 0,008) disminuyeron la probabilidad de alta precoz. Los pacientes con una estancia de 48 horas tuvieron menos complicaciones globales (10,8% versus 30,6%, P < 0,001), menos complicaciones graves (2,6% versus 10,2%, P < 0,001) y una menor tasa de reingresos (9% versus 11,8%, P = 0,035). CONCLUSIÓN: El alta precoz en pacientes seleccionados es segura y no aumenta las tasas de morbilidad postoperatoria o de reingresos. En estos pacientes, la cirugía colorrectal ambulatoria debería ser viable a gran escala con una optimización de la logística.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The incidence of lymphatic complications after kidney transplantation varies considerably in the literature. This is partly because a universally accepted definition has not been established. This study aimed to propose an acceptable definition and severity grading system for lymphatic complications based on their management strategy. METHODS: Relevant literature published in MEDLINE and Web of Science was searched systematically. A consensus for definition and a severity grading was then sought between 20 high-volume transplant centres. RESULTS: Lymphorrhoea/lymphocele was defined in 32 of 87 included studies. Sixty-three articles explained how lymphatic complications were managed, but none graded their severity. The proposed definition of lymphorrhoea was leakage of more than 50 ml fluid (not urine, blood or pus) per day from the drain, or the drain site after removal of the drain, for more than 1 week after kidney transplantation. The proposed definition of lymphocele was a fluid collection of any size near to the transplanted kidney, after urinoma, haematoma and abscess have been excluded. Grade A lymphatic complications have a minor and/or non-invasive impact on the clinical management of the patient; grade B complications require non-surgical intervention; and grade C complications require invasive surgical intervention. CONCLUSION: A clear definition and severity grading for lymphatic complications after kidney transplantation was agreed. The proposed definitions should allow better comparisons between studies.


ANTECEDENTES: La incidencia de complicaciones linfáticas tras el trasplante renal (post-kidney-transplantation lymphatic, PKTL) varía considerablemente en la literatura. Esto se debe en parte a que no se ha establecido una definición universalmente aceptada. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo proponer una definición aceptable para las complicaciones PKTL y un sistema de clasificación de la gravedad basado en la estrategia de tratamiento. MÉTODOS: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura relevante en MEDLINE y Web of Science. Se logró un consenso para la definición y la clasificación de gravedad de las PKTL entre veinte centros de trasplante de alto volumen. RESULTADOS: En 32 de los 87 estudios incluidos se definía la linforrea/linfocele. Sesenta y tres artículos describían como se trataban las PKTL, pero ninguno calificó la gravedad de las mismas. La definición propuesta para la linforrea fue la de un débito diario superior a 50 ml de líquido (no orina, sangre o pus) a través del drenaje o del orificio cutáneo tras su retirada, más allá del 7º día postoperatorio del trasplante renal. La definición propuesta para linfocele fue la de una colección de líquido de tamaño variable adyacente al riñón trasplantado, tras haber descartado un urinoma, hematoma o absceso. Las PKTL de grado A fueron aquellas con escaso impacto o que no requirieron tratamiento invasivo; las PKTL de grado B fueron aquellas que precisaron intervención no quirúrgica y las PKTL de grado C aquellas en que fue necesaria la reintervención quirúrgica. CONCLUSIÓN: Se propone una definición clara y una clasificación de gravedad basada en la estrategia de tratamiento de las PKTLs. La definición propuesta y el sistema de calificación en 3 grados son razonables, sencillos y fáciles de comprender, y servirán para estandarizar los resultados de las PKTL y facilitar las comparaciones entre los diferentes estudios.

RESUMO

AIM: The means to target shorter hospital stay include information technology strategies to improve communication between caregivers and patients in order to limit potentially avoidable readmissions. The aim of the present study was to analyse the benefits and limitations of a smartphone-based connected tracking solution in the perioperative follow-up of colorectal surgery patients. METHOD: This was a retrospective monocentric cohort study of consecutive patients after colorectal surgery between February and December 2018. The mobile health application included information delivery and daily structured questionnaires on a personalized patient electronic profile, before the hospital stay and for 7 days post-discharge. The medical team answered automatic alerts in real time. RESULTS: A total of 93 eligible patients were approached and 36 had to be excluded (26 no smartphone, five no email, five not French speaking). Among the potential users, 50 (88%) engaged in an mHealth app and seven refused. Of these 50 patients, seven dropped out. Of the remaining 43 patients, the app detected 12 adverse events, and 10 (83%) were handled through the app. Healthcare providers responded to patient-generated alerts after a median time of 90 min (range 9-448 min). Patients' mean satisfaction level was 4 ± 0.97 out of 5. CONCLUSION: In total, 88% of smartphone-equipped patients showed a willingness to engage in mHealth. Reasons for exclusion were the absence of connection tools and a language barrier. Patients who responded to the survey were satisfied with the solution and 83% of post-discharge adverse events were solved through the app, avoiding emergency consultations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The death of a patient is experienced at some time by most surgeons. The aim of this review was to use existing literature to establish how surgeons have dealt with the death of patients. METHODS: A systematic review of the medical literature was performed. MEDLINE/PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for qualitative and quantitative studies on surgeon reactions when facing death or a dying patient. This systematic review was performed following the recommendations of the Cochrane collaboration and reported following the PRISMA guidelines. Individual and interview-based opinions were summarized and synthesized. RESULTS: An initial search found 652 articles. After exclusion of articles that did not satisfy the inclusion criteria, 20 articles remained and seven were included. Two of these articles were personal opinion of the author and five were interviews or surveys. The main findings were that facing death routinely induces a strong psychological burden and that surgeons are more at risk than the general population to develop psychological morbidity. CONCLUSION: Although it is a frequent and emotional subject in the surgical world, the impact of patient death on surgeons is not abundantly studied in the literature. Dealing with patient death or taking care of a dying patient might have long-lasting psychological impact on surgeons.


ANTECEDENTES: La mayoría de los cirujanos sufren en algún momento la muerte de un paciente. El objetivo de esta revisión fue analizar la literatura disponible para determinar cómo los cirujanos afrontan la muerte de los pacientes. MÉTODOS: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura médica. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda en las bases de datos MEDLINE/PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, Embase y Google Scholar de estudios cualitativos y cuantitativos de las reacciones de los cirujanos cuando se enfrentan con la muerte o frente a un paciente que se está muriendo. Se siguieron las recomendaciones de la colaboración Cochrane para efectuar la revisión y los resultados se presentan de acuerdo con las directrices PRISMA. Se resumieron y sintetizaron las opiniones individuales y las basadas en entrevistas. RESULTADOS: En la búsqueda inicial se identificaron 652 artículos. Después de excluir los artículos que no cumplían los criterios de inclusión, la muestra se redujo a 20 artículos, 7 de los cuales fueron finalmente incluidos. De ellos, 2 artículos eran la opinión personal del autor y 5 eran entrevistas o encuestas. Los hallazgos principales fueron que enfrentarse a la muerte en la práctica rutinaria supone una carga psicológica importante y que los cirujanos tienen un mayor riesgo de morbilidad psicológica que la población general. CONCLUSIÓN: El impacto de la muerte en los cirujanos no es un tema ampliamente tratado en la literatura, a pesar de que se trata de un problema frecuente y emocional en el mundo quirúrgico. Afrontar la muerte de un paciente o cuidar a un paciente que se está muriendo podría tener un impacto psicológico duradero en los cirujanos.

RESUMO

AIM: The present study aimed to analyse fluid management and to define optimal fluid-related thresholds for elective open colorectal surgery. METHOD: A retrospective analysis was made of all consecutive elective open colorectal resections performed in our tertiary centre between May 2011 and May 2017. The main outcomes were postoperative complications [overall (I-V) and severe (IIIB-V) according to the Clavien classification], respiratory complications and postoperative ileus (POI). Critical thresholds regarding perioperative fluid management and postoperative weight gain were identified by using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis. Independent risk factors for overall complications were identified by multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Of 121 patients who had open operations, 84 (69%) had some complication and 26 (21%) had severe complications. Respiratory complications and POI occurred in 15 (12%) and 46 patients (38%), respectively. The thresholds for intravenous fluids were 3.5 l at postoperative day (POD) 0 [area under ROC curve (AUROC) 0.7 for any 0.69 for respiratory complications] and 3.5 kg weight gain at POD 2 (AUROC 0.82 for respiratory complications). Multivariable analysis revealed weight gain of > 3.5 kg at POD 2 (OR 5.9; 95% CI 1.3-16.6) as a significant risk factor for overall complications. Acute kidney injury was observed in five patients (4%), three (5%) in the group with > 3.5 l at POD 0 and two (3%) in the group with < 3.5 l at POD 0 (P = 0.64). Creatinine increase was transitory and all patients regained baseline levels before discharge. CONCLUSION: A weight gain of > 3.5 kg at POD 2 has been identified as the critical threshold for overall and respiratory complications and prolonged length of stay after open elective colorectal surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This is the fourth updated Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society guideline presenting a consensus for optimal perioperative care in colorectal surgery and providing graded recommendations for each ERAS item within the ERAS® protocol. METHODS: A wide database search on English literature publications was performed. Studies on each item within the protocol were selected with particular attention paid to meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials and large prospective cohorts and examined, reviewed and graded according to Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. RESULTS: All recommendations on ERAS® protocol items are based on best available evidence; good-quality trials; meta-analyses of good-quality trials; or large cohort studies. The level of evidence for the use of each item is presented accordingly. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence base and recommendation for items within the multimodal perioperative care pathway are presented by the ERAS® Society in this comprehensive consensus review.

RESUMO

This study assessed the accuracy of preoperative staging in patients undergoing oncological esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. All patients undergoing surgery for resectable esophageal cancer in a university hospital from 2005 to 2016 were identified from our institutional database. Patients with neoadjuvant treatment were excluded to avoid bias from down-staging effects. Routinely, all patients had an upper endoscopy with biopsy, a thoracoabdominal CT scan, an 18-FEG PET-CT, and endoscopic ultrasound. Preoperative staging was compared to histopathological staging of surgical specimen that was considered as gold standard. There were 51 patients with a median age of 65 years (IQR: 59.3-73 years) having 21 squamous cell carcinoma and 30 adenocarcinoma, respectively. T- and N-stages were correctly predicted in 26 (51%) and 37 patients (72%), respectively. Overall, 18 patients (35%) were preoperatively diagnosed with a correct T- and N-stage. There was no difference between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Accuracy of the T-stage was not influenced by the smoking status. The N-stage was not correct in 7/22 smoking patients (32%) and 6/29 nonsmoking patients (21%).The N-stage was underestimated in smoking patients as 6/22 patients (27%) had a histologically confirmed N+ who were preoperatively classified as N0. In conclusion, only 35% of patients had a correct assessment. Separate T- and N-stage prediction was improved with 51% and 72%, respectively. Major efforts are needed for improvement.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been widely validated in colorectal surgery; however, few data exist on loop ileostomy closure. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes before and after introduction of ERAS for loop ileostomy closure. METHODS: Data on outcomes after loop ileostomy closure were retrospectively collected before ERAS was applied at our department (control group). These results were compared to results of patients undergoing loop ileostomy closure within the original colorectal ERAS pathway (ERAS 1 group); after analysis of these results, adaptations were made to the ERAS pathway regarding the postoperative diet, and this second category of patients was analyzed (ERAS 2 group). RESULTS: Forty-eight patients in the control group were compared to 46 ERAS 1 and 69 ERAS 2 patients. First stool was significantly faster in ERAS 2 group versus control and ERAS 1 group [median 1 (range 1-2) days vs 2 (2-3) days p value 0.01]. The incidence of vomiting increased from 26% in the control group to 45% in ERAS 1 group, and then decreased to 29% in the ERAS 2 group (p value 0.41). Length of stay was significantly shorter during the ERAS 2 protocol: median 4 (range 3-6) days versus 5 (4-8) days in the control group (p value < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: After application of the 'colorectal' ERAS pathway to loop ileostomy closure, results were initially not improved. Minor corrections were sufficient to avoid increased incidence of vomiting and to allow for reduced hospital stay. Uncritical extrapolation of an ERAS colorectal protocol to other types of surgery should be monitored and needs audit for corrections.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a minimally invasive approach under investigation as a novel treatment for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of various origins. The aim was to review the available evidence on mechanisms, clinical effects and risks. METHODS: This was a systematic review of the literature on pressurized intraperitoneal chemotherapy published between January 2000 and October 2016. All types of scientific report were included. RESULTS: Twenty-nine relevant papers were identified; 16 were preclinical studies and 13 were clinical reports. The overall quality of the clinical studies was modest; five studies were prospective and there was no randomized trial. Preclinical data suggested better distribution and higher tissue concentrations of chemotherapy agents in PIPAC compared with conventional intraperitoneal chemotherapy by lavage. Regarding technical feasibility, laparoscopic access and repeatability rates were 83-100 and 38-82 per cent. Surgery-related complications occurred in up to 12 per cent. Postoperative morbidity was low (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3-5 events reported in 0-37 per cent), and hospital stay was about 3 days. No negative impact on quality of life was reported. Histological response rates for therapy-resistant carcinomatosis of ovarian, colorectal and gastric origin were 62-88, 71-86 and 70-100 per cent respectively. CONCLUSION: PIPAC is feasible, safe and well tolerated. Preliminary good response rates call for prospective analysis of oncological efficacy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Umbilical hernia is a common pathology and surgical repair is advised to prevent complications in symptomatic patients. However, risk factors that predict such advert events are unknown. The aim of the study was to determine whether morphological characteristics are associated with the occurrence of complications. METHOD: Retrospective review of adult patients with elective and emergent umbilical hernia repair operated from January 2004 to December 2013. The size of the hernia and the size of the neck were measured based on operative reports, ultrasound, CT or MRI images. The Hernia-Neck-Ratio (HNR) was then calculated as novel risk indicator. RESULTS: 106 patients underwent umbilical hernia repair (70 for uncomplicated and 36 for complicated hernia) as single procedure. The median size of the hernia sac was statistically significantly smaller in the uncomplicated group (30 mm, interquartile range (IQR) 20-49 vs. 50 mm, IQR 40-71, p = 0.037). The median size of the neck was not different between both groups (15 mm, IQR 11-29 vs. 16 mm, IQR 12-21, p = 0.44). The median HNR was smaller in the uncomplicated group (1.76, IQR 1.45-2.18 vs. 3.33, IQR 2.97-3.91, p = 0.00026). Based on ROC curve analysis (area under the curve: 0.9038), a cut-off value of 2.5 was associated with 91 % sensitivity and 84 % specificity. CONCLUSIONS: A novel predictive factor for complications related to umbilical hernia is proposed. The Hernia-Neck Ratio can easily be calculated. These results suggest that umbilical hernia with HNR >2.5 should be operated, irrespective of the presence of symptoms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: During the last two decades, an increasing number of bariatric surgical procedures have been performed worldwide. There is no consensus regarding optimal perioperative care in bariatric surgery. This review aims to present such a consensus and to provide graded recommendations for elements in an evidence-based "enhanced" perioperative protocol. METHODS: The English-language literature between January 1966 and January 2015 was searched, with particular attention paid to meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials and large prospective cohort studies. Selected studies were examined, reviewed and graded. After critical appraisal of these studies, the group of authors reached a consensus recommendation. RESULTS: Although for some elements, recommendations are extrapolated from non-bariatric settings (mainly colorectal), most recommendations are based on good-quality trials or meta-analyses of good-quality trials. CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive evidence-based consensus was reached and is presented in this review by the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) Society. The guidelines were endorsed by the International Association for Surgical Metabolism and Nutrition (IASMEN) and based on the evidence available in the literature for each of the elements of the multimodal perioperative care pathway for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Parastomal hernias (PSH) are one of the most frequent complications of enterostomies with a non-negligible complication rate and a significant socioeconomic effect. Therefore, preventing PSH by placing a mesh at the time of primary surgery has been advocated. The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the new stomaplasty ring [Koring™, (Koring GmbH, Basel, Switzerland)] and investigate the reason why surgeons are reluctant to take preventive measures. METHODS: A multicenter observational study was conducted on 30 patients between December 2013 and January 2015. In permanent end colostomies and end ileostomies, the Koring™ was implanted. The primary outcome was the 30-day morbidity (infection and other stoma-related complications). Secondary endpoints were the technical feasibility and the time needed to fix the ring. In addition, an online survey of 107 surgeons was performed. RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients received permanent end colostomies, and three received end ileostomies. No stoma-related complication was detected within the first 30 days post-operatively. The Koring™ ring was evaluated by the surgeons as easy and very easy to implant in more than half of the patients. Average additional operating time for ring implantation was 19 min. CONCLUSIONS: Koring™ implantation at the time of creating the stoma is safe, easy and only adds minimally operating time. A long-term follow-up as well as a randomized controlled study is needed to evaluate the impact of the Koring™ on PSH prevention. The ease and rapidity with which Koring™ can be implanted may help surgeons to overcome their apprehension of using a preventative device.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programmes have been shown to decrease complications and hospital stay. The cost-effectiveness of such programmes has been demonstrated for colorectal surgery. This study aimed to assess the economic outcomes of a standard ERAS programme for pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS: ERAS for pancreaticoduodenectomy was implemented in October 2012. All consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy until October 2014 were recorded. This group was compared in terms of costs with a cohort of consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2010 and October 2012, before ERAS implementation. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative real costs were collected for each patient via the hospital administration. A bootstrap independent t test was used for comparison. ERAS-specific costs were integrated into the model. RESULTS: The groups were well matched in terms of demographic and surgical details. The overall complication rate was 68 per cent (50 of 74 patients) and 82 per cent (71 of 87 patients) in the ERAS and pre-ERAS groups respectively (P = 0·046). Median hospital stay was lower in the ERAS group (15 versus 19 days; P = 0·029). ERAS-specific costs were €922 per patient. Mean total costs were €56 083 per patient in the ERAS group and €63 821 per patient in the pre-ERAS group (P = 0·273). The mean intensive care unit (ICU) and intermediate care costs were €9139 and €13 793 per patient for the ERAS and pre-ERAS groups respectively (P = 0·151). CONCLUSION: ERAS implementation for pancreaticoduodenectomy did not increase the costs in this cohort. Savings were noted in anaesthesia/operating room, medication and laboratory costs. Fewer patients in the ERAS group required an ICU stay.

RESUMO

AIM: According to the French GRECCAR III randomized trial, full mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) for rectal surgery decreases the rate of postoperative morbidity, in particular postoperative infectious complications, but MBP is not well tolerated by the patient. The aim of the present study was to determine whether a preoperative rectal enema (RE) might be an alternative to MBP. METHODS: An analysis was performed of 96 matched cohort patients undergoing rectal resection with primary anastomosis and protective ileostomy at two different university teaching hospitals, whose rectal cancer management was comparable except for the choice of preoperative bowel preparation (MBP or RE). Prospective databases were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: Patients were well matched for age, gender, body mass index and Charlson index. The surgical approach and cancer characteristics (level above anal verge, stage and use of neoadjuvant therapy) were comparable between the two groups. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 10% of patients having MBP and in 8% having RE (P = 1.00). Pelvic abscess formation (6% vs 2%, P = 0.63) and wound infection (8% vs 15%, P = 0.55) were also comparable. Extra-abdominal infection (13% vs 13%, P = 1.00) and non-infectious abdominal complications such as ileus and bleeding (27% and 31%, P = 0.83) were not significantly different. Overall morbidity was comparable in the two groups (50% vs 54%, P = 0.83). CONCLUSION: A simple RE before rectal surgery seems not to be associated with more postoperative infectious complications nor a higher overall morbidity than MBP.

RESUMO

Acute diverticulitis of the colon is a frequent pathology especially among elderly people and people of Caucasian origin. The prevalence is higher among sedentary people and in people with low-fiber diet. Its diagnosis is mainly based on computed tomography (CT) that allows guiding the therapeutic management. Over the last few years the treatment of acute diverticulitis has passably changed with in particular an evolution toward a restriction of the elective and emergency surgery indications and a reduction of the antiobiotherapy and hospitalization number. This article reviews the epidemiology, the diagnostic tools, and the management of this frequent digestive pathology.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Application of evidence-based perioperative care protocols reduces complication rates, accelerates recovery and shortens hospital stay. Presently, there are no comprehensive guidelines for perioperative care for gastrectomy. METHODS: An international working group within the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society assembled an evidence-based comprehensive framework for optimal perioperative care for patients undergoing gastrectomy. Data were retrieved from standard databases and personal archives. Evidence and recommendations were classified according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system and were discussed until consensus was reached within the group. The quality of evidence was rated 'high', 'moderate', 'low' or 'very low'. Recommendations were graded as 'strong' or 'weak'. RESULTS: The available evidence has been summarized and recommendations are given for 25 items, eight of which contain procedure-specific evidence. The quality of evidence varies substantially and further research is needed for many issues to improve the strength of evidence and grade of recommendations. CONCLUSION: The present evidence-based framework provides comprehensive advice on optimal perioperative care for the patient undergoing gastrectomy and facilitates multi-institutional prospective cohort registries and adequately powered randomized trials for further research.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Incarcerated hernias represent about 5-15 % of all operated hernias. Tension-free mesh is the preferred technique for elective surgery due to low recurrence rates. There is however currently no consensus on the use of mesh for the treatment of incarcerated hernias, especially in case of bowel resection. AIM: The aims of this study were (i) to report our current practice for the treatment of incarcerated hernias, (ii) to identify risk factors for postoperative complications, and (iii) to assess the safety of mesh placement in potentially infected surgical fields. METHODS: This retrospective study included 166 consecutive patients who underwent emergency surgery for incarcerated hernia between January 2007 and January 2012 in two university hospitals. Demographics, surgical details, and short-term outcome were collected. Univariate analysis was employed to identify risk factors for overall, infectious, and major complications. RESULTS: Eighty-four patients (50.6 %) presented inguinal hernias, 43 femoral (25.9 %), 37 umbilical hernias (22.3 %), and 2 mixed hernias (1.2 %), respectively. Mesh was placed in 64 patients (38.5 %), including 5 patients with concomitant bowel resection. Overall morbidity occurred in 56 patients (32.7 %), and 8 patients (4.8 %) developed surgical site infections (SSI). Univariate risk factors for overall complications were ASA grade 3/4 (P = 0.03), diabetes (P = 0.05), cardiopathy (P = 0.001), aspirin use (P = 0.023), and bowel resection (P = 0.001) which was also the only identified risk factor for SSI (P = 0.03). In multivariate analysis, only bowel incarceration was associated with a higher rate of major morbidity (OR = 14.04; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Morbidity after surgery for incarcerated hernia remains high and depends on comorbidities and surgical presentation. The use of mesh could become current practice even in case of bowel resection.

RESUMO

Anal pain is a common reason for consultation, whose etiology is varied and should not be limited to the hemorrhoidal disease. The purpose of this article is to conduct a review of the literature on anorectal pathologies most frequently encountered and make recommendations regarding their management.
