Abstract

Background The spread of the SARS-CoV2 virus, which causes COVID-19 disease, profoundly impacted the surgical community. Recommendations have been published to manage patients needing surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. This survey, under the aegis of the Italian Society of Endoscopic Surgery, aims to analyze how Italian surgeons have changed their practice during the pandemic. Methods The authors designed an online survey that was circulated for completion to the Italian departments of general surgery registered in the Italian Ministry of Health database in December 2020. Questions were divided into three sections: hospital organization, screening policies, and safety profile of the surgical operation. The investigation periods were divided into the Italian pandemic phases I (March–May 2020), II (June–September 2020), and III (October–December 2020). Results Of 447 invited departments, 226 answered the survey. Most hospitals were treating both COVID-19-positive and -negative patients. The reduction in effective beds dedicated to surgical activity was significant, affecting 59% of the responding units. 12.4% of the respondents in phase I, 2.6% in phase II, and 7.7% in phase III reported that their surgical unit had been closed. 51.4%, 23.5%, and 47.8% of the respondents had at least one colleague reassigned to non-surgical COVID-19 activities during the three phases. There has been a reduction in elective (> 200 procedures: 2.1%, 20.6% and 9.9% in the three phases, respectively) and emergency ( Conclusion This survey offers three faithful snapshots of how the surgical community has reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic during its three phases. The significant reduction in surgical activity indicates that better health policies and more evidence-based guidelines are needed to make up for lost time and surgery not performed during the pandemic.

Abstract

Aim: To establish the correlation between changes in body composition after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and postoperative outcomes, in patients with advanced low rectal cancer. Methods: Patients with clinical stage T≥3 or N+ rectal cancer who underwent nCRT and surgical resection were studied. Skeletal muscle, visceral, and subcutaneous fat cross-sectional area were measured by computed tomography before and after nCRT. Postoperative morbidity, pathologic response to nCRT, overall and disease-free survival was assessed. Results: Fifty-two patients, median age 62 (range 32-79) were studied. A skeletal muscle loss >2% significantly correlated with a shorter disease-free survival both in the overall population (P = 0.048) and in the subgroup of N0 patients (P = 0.048). A subcutaneous fat loss >5% was also associated with a shorter disease-free survival (P = 0.012) in the whole population. Conclusions: Skeletal muscle loss, after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, negatively impacts on disease-free survival in surgically treated rectal cancer patients.

Abstract

Evidence against the use of prophylactic drain after gastrectomy are increasing and ERAS guidelines suggest the benefit of drain avoidance. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether this practice is still widespread. We conducted a survey among Italian surgeons through the Italian Gastric Cancer Research Group and the Polispecialistic Society of Young Surgeons, aiming to understand the current use of prophylactic drain. A 28-item questionnaire-based survey was developed to analyze the current practice and the individual opinion about the use of prophylactic drain after gastrectomy. Groups based on age, experience and unit volume were separately analyzed. Response of 104 surgeons from 73 surgical units were collected. A standardized ERAS protocol for gastrectomy was applied by 42% of the respondents. Most of the surgeons, regardless of age, experience, or unit volume, declared to routinely place one or more drain after gastrectomy. Only 2 (1.9%) and 7 surgeons (6.7%) belonging to high volume units, do not routinely place drains after total and subtotal gastrectomy, respectively. More than 60% of the participants remove the drain on postoperative day 4–6 after performing an assessment of the anastomosis integrity. Interestingly, less than half of the surgeons believe that drain is the main tool for leak management, and this percentage further drops among younger surgeons. On the other hand, drain’s role seems to be more defined for duodenal stump leak treatment, with almost 50% of the surgeons recognizing its importance. Routine use of prophylactic drain after gastrectomy is still a widespread practice even if younger surgeons are more persuaded that it could not be advantageous.

Abstract

To investigate the role of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as a potential prognostic biomarker in the evaluation of the aggressiveness of oesophageal cancer.Between November 2009 and December 2013, 43 patients with evidence of oesophageal or oesophago-gastric junction cancer were referred to our institution and prospectively entered in our database. The final study population consisted of 23 patients (18 men; 5 women; mean age, 64.62 ± 10.91 years) who underwent diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance before surgical intervention. Specifically, 14 were directly treated with surgery and 9 were addressed to chemo/radiotherapy beforehand. Two radiologists independently measured mean tumour ADC and inter-observer agreement (Spearman's and intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]) was assessed. In the univariate analysis, overall survival curves related to pathological ADC, pT, pN, tumour location and histotype were fitted using the Kaplan-Meier method. Survival curves were then compared using the log-rank test.Inter-observer reproducibility was very good (Spearman's rho = 0.95; ICC = 0.94). At a total median follow-up of 19 months (2-49 months), 4 patients had died. The median follow-up was 18.50 months (5-49 months) for the surgery-only group (1/4 events, 25 %) and 24 months (2-34 months) for the chemo/radiotherapy group (3/4 events, 75 %). Survival time at 48 months for the overall population was 59 % (±0.11), while for the surgery-only group and the chemo/radiotherapy group was 90 % (±0.09) and 61 % (±0.34), respectively. In the univariate analysis, ADC values below or equal to 1.4 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s were associated with a negative prognosis both in the total population (P = 0.016) and in the surgery-only group (P 0.001).Despite the biggest limitation of our study (i.e. the small study population), we were able to show that pathological ADC could be considered a prognostic factor for oesophageal cancer. DWI might be introduced into clinical practice as a promising and reliable technique in the diagnostic pathway of this tumour.

Abstract

Background The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the preoperative locoregional staging of gastric cancer. Methods This study had Institutional Review Board approval, and informed consent was obtained from all patients. Fifty-two patients with biopsy-proven gastric cancer underwent preoperative 1.5-T MRI, 64-channel MDCT and EUS. All images were analysed blind, and the results were compared with histopathological findings according to the seventh edition of the TNM classification. After the population had been divided on the basis of the local invasion (T1-3 vs T4a-b) and nodal involvement (N0 vs N+), sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and accuracy were calculated and diagnostic performance measures were assessed using the McNemar test. Results For T staging, EUS showed higher sensitivity (94 %) than MDCT and MRI (65 and 76 %; p = 0.02 and p = 0.08). MDCT and MRI had significantly higher specificity (91 and 89 %) than EUS (60 %) (p = 0.0009 and p = 0.003). Adding MRI to MDCT or EUS did not result in significant differences for sensitivity. For N staging, EUS showed higher sensitivity (92 %) than MRI and MDCT (69 and 73 %; p = 0.01 and p = 0.02). MDCT showed better specificity (81 %) than EUS and MRI (58 and 73 %; p = 0.03 and p = 0.15). Conclusions Our prospective study confirmed the leading role of EUS and MDCT in the staging of gastric cancer and did not prove, at present, the value of the clinical use of MRI.

Abstract

Introduction The gap between the number of diabetic patients on the waiting list for transplantation and the number of pancreas donors is growing and it is mandatory to extend criteria for donor eligibility. Several reports showed the feasibility of pancreas transplantation from pediatric donors with comparable outcomes to adult donors in terms of long-term β-cell function. However, there is no consensus about donor age and weight limits. Case Report We present two cases of pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) from very small pediatric donors: a 2-year-old female (weight 13 kg, height 88 cm) and a 6-year-old male (weight 29 kg, height 122 cm). We used a novel “cephalic placement” technique. The pancreas was placed upon the aortic carrefour with cephalic pole upward with 3 anchorage points: the left common iliac vein (or the inferior cava vein), the right common iliac artery, and an ileal loop. Results No postoperative thrombosis occurred and the patients gained insulin independence instantaneously. CT scan performed on postoperative day 3 showed regular organ perfusion in both cases. Graft volume and surface calculated by CT reconstruction were, respectively, 25 cc and 89 cm 2 in the first case, and 46.5 cc and 123 cm 2 in the second case. Postoperative mixed meal tolerance tests showed normal glycemic profile. Patients are actually insulin independent at 4 years and 8 months. Conclusions Pancreases from very young pediatric donors are adequate to restore insulin independence after PTA in adult patients. The “cephalic placement” technique is feasible and effective using very small pancreases.

Abstract

Purpose: To prospectively investigate the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculated from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as a potential prognostic biomarker in the evaluation of the aggressiveness of gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: This prospective study had institutional review board approval. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. Between October 2009 and December 2013, a total of 99 patients (65 men, 34 women; mean age, 62.02 years; age range, 32.33-85.15 years) with biopsy-proved cancer (28 esophagogastric junction and 71 gastric cancers) were examined with a 1.5-T MR imaging system, including T1-, T2-, and diffusion-weighted sequences. ADC measurements were obtained. Seventy-one patients were directly treated with surgery, while 28 underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy beforehand. Pathologic ADC, pathologic T and N stages, tumor location, surgical approach, and histologic subtype were investigated with univariate and multivariate analyses by using the Cox regression model. Results: At a total median follow-up period of 21 months, 31 patients had died. The median follow-up was 25 months for the surgery-only group (19 of 31 events [61%]) and 28 months for the chemotherapy group (12 of 31 events [39%]). In the multivariate analysis, ADC values of 1.5 x 10(-3) mm(2)/sec or lower were associated with a negative prognosis, both in the total population (log-relative risk, 1.73; standard error, 0.56; P = .002) and in the surgery-only (log-relative risk, 1.97; standard error, 0.66; P = .003) and chemotherapy (log-relative risk, 2.93; standard error, 1.41; P = .03) groups, along with other significant prognostic factors (in particular, pathologic T and N stages). Conclusion: Pathologic ADC represents a strong independent prognostic factor in the evaluation of the aggressiveness of gastric cancer, in addition to clinical and surgical variables. (C) RSNA, 2015

Abstract

Background: The objective was to analyse, risk factors for recurrence (primary outcome) and complications (secondary outome) after the implantation of a double layer ePTFE (expanded PolytTetraFluoroEthylene) / PP (PolyPropylene) mesh to treat incisional hernias (IH) using the Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM) technique., Methods: We included all elective laparoscopic IH repairs with intraperitoneal placement of a ePTFE / PP mesh (Relimesh ® - Herniamesh S.r.l.) from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2017 at Humanitas Mater Domini Clinical Institute in Castellanza (Italy) and at the Centre for Minimally Invasive Surgery of Niš (Serbia). Performance was defined as long-term recurrence rate., Results: A total of 284 patients were enrolled. According to the European Hernia Society (EHS) hernias were classified as: W1 (<4 cm) 60.29%, W2 (≥4-10 cm) 35.02% and W3 (≥10 cm) 4.69%; medial 90.85%, lateral 6.69%, both medial and lateral 2.11%. Average follow-up was 48 (11-110) months. The 30-days complication rate was 4.23%. Hernia recurrence rate was 3.36%. Long-term complication rate was 6.34%. At multivariable analysis, an increased risk of short-term complications was associated to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (OR 7.59 [2.23-25.83], P=0.001); an increased risk of long-term complications was associated to diabetes (OR 6.21 [1.80-21.42], P=0.004), an increased risk of recurrence was correlated to COPD (OR 13.40 [1.36-131.9], P=0.026) and hernia defects larger than 6 cm (OR 19.2 [1.12-329.9], P=0.042)., Conclusions: Elective laparoscopic IH repair with a double-layered ePTFE/PP mesh is safe and effective. Compliance with indications and preoperative patients evaluation are essential to improve outcomes.

Abstract

Thyroid is at the crossroads of immune dysregulation, tissue remodeling and oncogenesis. Autoimmune disorders, nodular disease and cancer of the thyroid affect a large amount of general population, mainly women. We wondered if there could be a common factor behind three processes (immune dysregulation, tissue remodeling and oncogenesis) that frequently affect, sometimes coexisting, the thyroid gland. The long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an essential component of the humoral arm of the innate immune system acting as soluble pattern recognition molecule. The protein is found expressed in a variety of cell types during tissue injury and stress. In addition, PTX3 is produced by neutrophils during maturation in the bone-marrow and is stored in lactoferrin-granules. PTX3 is a regulator of the complement cascade and orchestrates tissue remodeling and repair. Preclinical data and studies in human tumors indicate that PTX3 can act both as an extrinsic oncosuppressor by modulating complement-dependent tumor-promoting inflammation, or as a tumor-promoter molecule, regulating cell invasion and proliferation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition, thus suggesting that this molecule may have different functions on carcinogenesis. The involvement of PTX3 in the regulation of immune responses, tissue remodeling and oncosuppressive processes led us to explore its potential role in the development of thyroid disorders. In this review, we aimed to highlight what is known, at the state of the art, regarding the connection between the long pentraxin 3 and the main thyroid diseases i.e., nodular thyroid disease, thyroid cancer and autoimmune thyroid disorders., Competing Interests: AM and BB are inventors of a patent on PTX3 and obtain royalties on related reagents. The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Chiari, Pirali, Perano, Leone, Mantovani and Bottazzi.)

Abstract

The clinical benefit of extended prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) after laparoscopic surgery for cancer is unclear. The efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants for this indication are unexplored. PROphylaxis of venous thromboembolism after LAParoscopic Surgery for colorectal cancer Study II (PROLAPS II) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, investigator-initiated, superiority study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of extended prophylaxis with rivaroxaban after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. Consecutive patients who had laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer were randomized to receive rivaroxaban (10 mg once daily) or a placebo to be started at 7 ± 2 days after surgery and given for the subsequent 3 weeks. All patients received antithrombotic prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin from surgery to randomization. The primary study outcome was the composite of symptomatic objectively confirmed VTE, asymptomatic ultrasonography-detected deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or VTE-related death at 28 ± 2 days after surgery. The primary safety outcome was major bleeding. Patient recruitment was prematurely closed due to study drug expiry after the inclusion of 582 of the 646 planned patients. A primary study outcome event occurred in 11 of 282 patients in the placebo group compared with 3 of 287 in the rivaroxaban group (3.9 vs 1.0%; odds ratio, 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07-0.94; log-rank P = .032). Major bleeding occurred in none of the patients in the placebo group and 2 patients in the rivaroxaban group (incidence rate 0.7%; 95% CI, 0-1.0). Oral rivaroxaban was more effective than placebo for extended prevention of VTE after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer without an increase in major bleeding. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03055026., (© 2022 by The American Society of Hematology.)

Abstract

Background: Postsurgical anastomotic colorectal leaks often require a surgical second look with a definite morbidity and the risk of delaying adjuvant treatment. The aim of this study was to analyse the long-term results of the endoscopic closure of colorectal leak following low anterior resection (LAR) using the over-the-scope (Ovesco™; Ovesco Endoscopy AG, Tübingen, Germany) clip., Methods: Patients who were submitted to endoscopic closure of a colorectal leak of maximum 2 cm with an Ovesco™ clip following LAR from 2016 to 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective single-center study (Humanitas Mater Domini Clinical Institute, Italy). The follow-up was obtained through radiologic and clinic assessments., Results: In the analyzed study period, 48 patients were submitted to LAR. Six patients were enrolled in the study. The median diameter of the leak was 7 mm. 14/6t or 12/6t OTSC ® clip was applied. Three patients were managed exclusively endoscopically, 2 of them had a protective ileostomy; 3 patients underwent urgent laparotomy with ostomy and then underwent endoscopic procedure. Complete healing was reached in all patients in a median of 23 days. Adjuvant chemotherapy was indicated and performed in 4 patients after a median of 64 days from the surgery. Among the 5 carriers of an ostomy, 4 patients underwent recanalization. The median follow-up was 21.5 months. During the follow-up no leak reoccurrence or complications were reported., Conclusions: In the multimodal management of anastomotic leaks following LAR, Ovesco™ clipping system appears a safe and effective technique in the closure of small leaks (<2 cm), allowing an early recanalization of the bowel and not delaying adjuvant chemotherapy when indicated.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has imposed great changes in everyday life. Starting from January 2020, Humanitas University proposed to students digital instruction for continuing medical education, in particular, concerning practical activities. The latter, defined as Professionalizing activities, were transformed into complete online learning. From September 2020, in accordance to the imposed rules of social distancing, we modified the approach to Professionalizing activities. Despite following the new constrains, we came up with a blend online and face-to-face education program. The Kirkpatrick's evaluation model has been followed for validation of the project. Two ad hoc satisfaction questionnaires have been proposed to evaluate the project. Different approaches to blended learning have been described in literature; however, we propose a new method application, which fits to the post-pandemic era, with the purpose of sharing our experience in the field. Advantages and limitations are described. According to students, the overall satisfaction was rated 6.8, while tutors evaluated it with 7.4. The qualitative analysis of data confirms the advantage of the blended learning activities in order to guarantee a continuation of the clinical curriculum. Although it highlighted the necessity for, an increased technical support and an improvement in organization of the meetings. Blended learning is becoming more accepted among academic communities because it combines "the best of both worlds." However, its effectiveness depends on several factors. With our approach, we propose a method, specifically designed to make effective this kind of teaching, which can be considered essential in the pandemic era we are facing., Competing Interests: Conflict of interestThe authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. No financial support or benefits have been received by any author.

Abstract

Aim: To establish the correlation between changes in body composition after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and postoperative outcomes, in patients with advanced low rectal cancer., Methods: Patients with clinical stage T≥3 or N+ rectal cancer who underwent nCRT and surgical resection were studied. Skeletal muscle, visceral, and subcutaneous fat cross-sectional area were measured by computed tomography before and after nCRT. Postoperative morbidity, pathologic response to nCRT, overall and disease-free survival was assessed., Results: Fifty-two patients, median age 62 (range 32-79) were studied. A skeletal muscle loss >2% significantly correlated with a shorter disease-free survival both in the overall population (P = 0.048) and in the subgroup of N0 patients (P = 0.048). A subcutaneous fat loss >5% was also associated with a shorter disease-free survival (P = 0.012) in the whole population., Conclusions: Skeletal muscle loss, after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, negatively impacts on disease-free survival in surgically treated rectal cancer patients., (Copyright © 2019.

Abstract

Background: The clinical benefit of extending prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) beyond hospital discharge after laparoscopic surgery for cancer is undefined. Extended prophylaxis with rivaroxaban is effective in reducing post-operative VTE after major orthopedic surgery without safety concern., Methods: PROLAPS II is an investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blind study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of extended antithrombotic prophylaxis with rivaroxaban compared with placebo after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in patients who had received antithrombotic prophylaxis with low molecular-weight heparin for 7 ± 2 days (NCT03055026). Patients are randomized to receive rivaroxaban (10 mg once daily) or placebo for 3 weeks (up to day 28 ± 2 from surgery). The primary study outcome is a composite of symptomatic objectively confirmed VTE, asymptomatic ultrasonography-detected DVT or VTE-related death at 28 ± 2 days from laparoscopic surgery. The primary safety outcome is major bleeding defined according to the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. Symptomatic objectively confirmed VTE, asymptomatic ultrasonography-detected DVT, major bleeding or death by day 28 ± 2 and by day 90 from surgery are secondary outcomes. Assuming an 8% event rate with placebo and 60% reduction in the primary study outcome with rivaroxaban, 323 patients per group are necessary to show a statistically significant difference between the study groups., Discussion: The PROLAPS II is the first study with an oral anti-Xa agent in cancer surgery. The study has the potential to improve clinical practice by answering the question on the clinical benefit of extending prophylaxis after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest None., (Copyright © 2019 European Federation of Internal Medicine.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to compare surgical outcomes including postoperative complications and prognosis between total gastrectomy (TG) and proximal gastrectomy (PG) for proximal gastric cancer (GC). Propensity-score-matching analysis was performed to overcome patient selection bias between the two surgical techniques., Methods: Among 457 patients who were diagnosed with GC between January 1990 and December 2010 from four Italian institutions, 91 underwent PG and 366 underwent TG. Clinicopathologic features, postoperative complications, and survivals were reviewed and compared between these two groups retrospectively., Results: After propensity-score matching had been done, 150 patients (75 TG patients, 75 PG patients) were included in the analysis. The PG group had smaller tumors, shorter resection margins, and smaller numbers of retrieved lymph nodes than the TG group. N stages and 5-year survival rates were similar after TG and PG. Postoperative complication rates after PG and TG were 25.3 and 28%, respectively, (P = 0.084). Rates of reflux esophagitis and anastomotic stricture were 12 and 6.6% after PG and 2.6 and 1.3% after TG, respectively (P < 0.001 and P = 0.002). 5-year overall survival for PG and TG group was 56.7 and 46.5%, respectively (P = 0.07). Survival rates according to the tumor stage were not different between the groups. Multivariate analysis showed that type of resection was not an independent prognostic factor., Conclusion: Although PG for upper third GC showed good results in terms of survival, it is associated with an increased mortality rate and a higher risk of reflux esophagitis and anastomotic stricture.
