Abstract

COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in surgical activity and potential benefit from COVID-19 measures in perspective of Italian surgeons on behalf of SPIGC. A nationwide online survey on surgical practice before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic was conducted in March–April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects of COVID-19 hospital-related measures on surgical patients’ management and personal professional development across surgical specialties were explored. Data on demographics, pre-operative/peri-operative/post-operative management, and professional development were collected. Outcomes were matched with the corresponding volume. Four hundred and seventy-three respondents were included in final analysis across 14 surgical specialties. Since SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, application of telematic consultations (4.1% vs. 21.6%; p < 0.0001) and diagnostic evaluations (16.4% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.0001) increased. Elective surgical activities significantly reduced and surgeons opted more frequently for conservative management with a possible indication for elective (26.3% vs. 35.7%; p < 0.0001) or urgent (20.4% vs. 38.5%; p < 0.0001) surgery. All new COVID-related measures are perceived to be maintained in the future. Surgeons’ personal education online increased from 12.6% (pre-COVID) to 86.6% (post-COVID; p < 0.0001). Online educational activities are considered a beneficial effect from COVID pandemic (56.4%). COVID-19 had a great impact on surgical specialties, with significant reduction of operation volume. However, some forced changes turned out to be benefits. Isolation measures pushed the use of telemedicine and telemetric devices for outpatient practice and favored communication for educational purposes and surgeon–patient/family communication. From the Italian surgeons’ perspective, COVID-related measures will continue to influence

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the impact of COVID-19 emergency on elective oncological surgical activity in Italy. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: COVID-19 emergency shocked national health systems, subtracting resources from treatment of other diseases. Its impact on surgical oncology is still to elucidate. METHODS: A 56-question survey regarding the oncological surgical activity in Italy during the COVID-19 emergency was sent to referral centers for hepato-bilio-pancreatic, colorectal, esophago-gastric, and sarcoma/soft-tissue tumors. The survey portrays the situation 5 weeks after the first case of secondary transmission in Italy. RESULTS: In total, 54 surgical Units in 36 Hospitals completed the survey (95%). After COVID-19 emergency, 70% of Units had reduction of hospital beds (median -50%) and 76% of surgical activity (median -50%). The number of surgical procedures decreased: 3.8 (interquartile range 2.7-5.4) per week before the emergency versus 2.6 (22-4.4) after (P = 0.036). In Lombardy, the most involved district, the number decreased from 3.9 to 2 procedures per week. The time interval between multidisciplinary discussion and surgery more than doubled: 7 (6-10) versus 3 (3-4) weeks (P < 0.001). Two-third (n = 34) of departments had repeated multidisciplinary discussion of patients. The commonest criteria to prioritize surgery were tumor biology (80%), time interval from neoadjuvant therapy (61%), risk of becoming unresectable (57%), and tumor-related symptoms (52%). Oncological hub-and-spoke program was planned in 29 departments, but was active only in 10 (19%). CONCLUSIONS: This survey showed how surgical oncology suffered remarkable reduction of the activity resulting in doubled waiting-list. The oncological hub-and-spoke program did not work adequately. The reassessment of healthcare systems to better protect the oncological path seems a priority.

Abstract

We present the case of a 79-year-old woman and of a 43-year-old man with no relevant past medical history. Both patients were admitted to the emergency department for anemia and rectal bleeding. After resuscitation, the two patients underwent colonoscopy and gastroscopy, both negative. Computed tomography angiography revealed active bleeding from the small bowel in both cases. The first patient underwent angiography and mesenteric embolization with surgical glue, obtaining a complete stop of the bleeding. After 2 days, a small bowel resection was performed under the guidance of the segmental bowel ischemia secondary to embolization. In the second patient, the angiography revealed a large jejunal angiodysplasia. Therefore, a mesenteric super-selective embolization was carried out. The intraoperative identification of the coils allowed to guide the following bowel resection. The postoperative course was uneventful in both patients. Small bowel angiodysplasia is a rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. In most patients, bleeding stops spontaneously. However, patients with ongoing active bleeding non-responding to conservative treatment may need invasive procedures. The use of super-selective mesenteric embolization is highly successful and relatively safe. When surgery is necessary, identification of the bleeding site is troublesome. In this setting, angioembolization could help to identify the correct site of bleeding, thus allowing to perform a segmental small bowel resection.

Abstract

Background: Minimally invasive anatomical resection (AR) for posterosuperior lesions is technically challenging. 1,2 The Glissonean approach or puncture technique is generally selected. 3,4 The tumor-feeding portal pedicle compression AR (C-AR) is an established procedure in open surgery. 5 This technique has benefited from the association with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence, used to enhance the anatomical area to be resected. 6 Recently, C-AR via the minimal access approach has been reported. 7 Herein, we report the first cases of laparoscopic and robotic segment 7 (S7) segmentectomy using the ICG-enhanced compression technique., Patients and Methods: Two cases of CHILD-class A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in segment 7 with a liver stiffness less than 7 kPa treated by laparoscopic and robotic anatomical S7 segmentectomies were reported. Using the intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS), the tumor-bearing portal pedicle and the level targeted for compression were identified. The right hemiliver was adequately mobilized to allow handling of the organ during dissection. Using the grasper and the probe itself, the S7 Glissonean pedicle was transparenchymally compressed under real-time IOUS control. To further enhance the visibility of the discolored S7, ICG was administered intravenously, obtaining the compressed area to be resected as a non-stained one. Dissection was performed under intermittent Pringle maneuver up to exposing the right hepatic vein, dividing the Glissonean pedicle to segment 7 and then completing the resection., Results: Pathologic findings demonstrated a 4.9 cm and 7.3 cm HCC with a R0-resection margin (> 1 cm in both). Postoperative complications were nil. The patients were discharged 6 days after surgery., Conclusions: This preliminary experience shows that the C-AR is a feasible and reliable technique in laparoscopic and robotic approach for posterosuperior lesions. Further studies are needed to investigate its applicability and standardization., (© 2024. Society of Surgical Oncology.)

Abstract

Background: Segmental or subsegmental anatomical resection (AR) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in minimal access liver surgery (MALS) has been technically proposed. The Glissonean approach or dye injection technique are generally adopted. The tumor-feeding portal pedicle compression technique (C-AR) is an established approach in open surgery, but its feasibility in the MALS environment has never been described., Methods: Eligible patients were prospectively enrolled to undergo laparoscopic or robotic ultrasound-guided C-AR based on HCC location and preoperative identification of a single tumor-feeding portal pedicle. Initial C-AR experience was gained with laparoscopic cases in the beginning of 2020. Following our progressive experience in laparoscopic C-AR, patients requiring AR for HCC were consecutively selected for robotic C-AR., Results: A total of 10 patients underwent minimal access C-AR. All patients had Child-Pugh A HCC. The surgical procedures included 6 laparoscopic and 4 robotic C-AR. Median tumor size was 3.1 cm (range 2-7 cm). All procedures had R0 margin. Postoperative complications were nil., Conclusion: C-AR technique is a feasible and promising technique for patients eligible for laparoscopic and robotic AR for HCC. Further data are necessary to validate its applicability to more complex minimal access AR., (© 2023.

Abstract

Disease progression (PD) at neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) is considered a contraindication to hepatic resection. Our aim was to estimate the overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing surgery compared with those treated exclusively with chemotherapy in cases of PD. Patients from a single centre with PD were analyzed and subdivided into two groups: hepatectomy (HEP) versus chemotherapy (CHT). An Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) was run to balance the baseline differences between the two groups. A Cox regression was carried out on identifying factors predicting mortality. From 2010 to 2020, 105 patients in PD to at least one line of chemotherapy were analyzed. Of these, 27 (25.7%) underwent hepatic resection. After a median follow-up of 30 (IQR 14-46) months, 61.9% were dead. The OS values at 1 and 3 years were 54.4 and 10.6% for CHT, and 95 and 46.8% for HEP ( p < 0.001). After IPW, two balanced pseudopopulations were obtained: HEP = 85 and CHT = 103. The OS values at 1 and 3 years were 54.4 and 10.6% for CHT, and 97.8 and 49.3% for HEP (HR 0.256, 95%CI: 0.08-0.78, p = 0.033). After IPW, in the multivariate model, surgery resulted in the only protective variable (HR 0.198, 95%CI: 0.08-0.48, p = 0.0016). Our results show that hepatic resection could offer a chance of a longer OS than the prosecution of chemotherapy only in originally resectable patients.

Abstract

Surgical resection remains the gold standard for the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CLM). The goal for successful surgery is to pursue the optimal balance between oncological radicality and adequate future liver remnant (FLR). The impact of surgical margin is under active debate since many years, and it remains controversial when the disease burden is high or when the tumor is deeply located. The strategy of a large parenchymal sacrifice, limiting the possibility of a future re-resection and risking leaving an inadequate FLR, rather than challenging tumor exposure with potentially increased local recurrence rates, is becoming a relevant issue. Parenchymal-sparing surgery (PSS) strategy, taking profit of the ultrasound guidance, allows to remove the tumors minimizing the sacrifice of functioning parenchyma. This policy has been pushed beyond the classic oncological criteria, introducing the tumor-vessel detachment (R1vasc surgery) in order to further maximize the parenchyma sparing. This finding makes feasible conservative surgery for patients generally candidate to major hepatectomies or staged procedures with comparable oncological results and better perioperative outcome, redefining the role of surgical margins.

Abstract

Background: Liver resection for colorectal metastases is affected by a non-negligible recurrence rate. The earlier the recurrence, the worse the prognosis. We analyzed an unexplored topic, i.e., the incidence, predictive factors, and prognostic impact of very early recurrence (≤ 3 months after hepatectomy)., Methods: All consecutive liver resections for colorectal metastases performed between 2004 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria were available recurrence status at 3 months after resection and follow-up ≥ 12 months., Results: Overall, 484 patients were analyzed; 56 (11.6%) had very early recurrence. Independent predictors were number of metastases (very early recurrence in 3.7% of patients with solitary metastasis, 8.1% of those with 2-9 metastases; 20.0% of those with 10-14 metastases; 44.4% of those with ≥ 15 metastases, p < 0.001) and extrahepatic disease (very early recurrence in 23.2% of patients with vs. 10.1% of those without extrahepatic disease, p = 0.017). Very early recurrence rate in patients with ≥ 15 metastases and simultaneous extrahepatic disease was 71.4%. Patients with very early recurrence had poor survival (5-year survival 17.3% vs. 44.5% of non-very early recurrence patients, p < 0.001), worse than patients with 3-to-6 months recurrence (p = 0.070), and no different from unresected patients (p = 0.114). Fifteen patients with very early recurrence (26.8%) underwent repeated treatment with adequate survival (at 3 years 42.2%), but seven had a further recurrence within 3 months., Conclusions: Very early recurrence occurs in about 12% of patients undergoing aggressive surgery for colorectal metastases. The risk is increased in patients with numerous metastases or extrahepatic disease. Very early recurrence is associated with very poor prognosis, similar to that of unresected patients, and a low chance of effective repeated treatment., (© 2021.

Abstract

Laparoscopic liver surgery has a wide diffusion worldwide, but the reproducibility of a parenchyma-sparing approach with a minimally invasive technique is still to explore. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is a mandatory tool to guarantee safety (transection plane) and oncological adequacy (margin) of minor but complex resections for deep-located tumors. The hooking technique has been developed exactly with this aim: once a vessel is isolated and encircled, the surgeon applies gentle traction on the tape surrounding the vessel and, under IOUS vision, "recognizes" the vessel and the adequate level of section. At present, advanced IOUS-guided maneuvers have limited application to laparoscopic liver surgery. We report the first application of the hooking maneuver during laparoscopic hepatectomy in three consecutive patients. In all cases, it was successfully performed and allowed to section the proper vessel at the right level. No procedure-related complications occurred and no ischemic areas of the remnant liver were evident. All resections had a negative surgical margin. Even if technically demanding, the laparoscopic hooking technique is a further step toward the standardization of a minimally invasive approach to advanced parenchyma-sparing liver surgery., (© 2021.

Abstract

Standard treatment of early recurrence of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) after liver resection (LR) is chemotherapy followed by loco-regional therapy. We reviewed the outcome of a different strategy ("test-of-time" approach): upfront percutaneous ablation without chemotherapy. Twenty-six consecutive patients with early solitary liver-only recurrence amenable to both resection and ablation (< 30 mm, distant from vessels) undergone "test-of-time" approach were analyzed. Early recurrence had a median size of 17 mm and occurred after a median interval from LR of 4 months. Primary efficacy rate of ablation was 100%. Five patients are alive and disease-free after a mean follow-up of 46 months. Five patients had local-only recurrence; all had repeat treatment (LR = 4; Ablation = 1) without chemotherapy. Local recurrence risk was associated with incomplete ablation of 1-cm thick peritumoral margin. The remaining 16 patients had non-local recurrence, 13 early after ablation. Overall, six (23%) patients had ablation as unique treatment and 13 (50%) avoided or postponed chemotherapy (mean chemotherapy-free interval 33.5 months). Ablation without chemotherapy of early liver-only recurrence is a reliable "test-of-time" approach. It minimized the invasiveness of treatment with good effectiveness and high salvageability in case of local failure, avoided worthless surgery, and saved chemotherapy for further disease progression., (© 2021.

Abstract

11 C-choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been used for patients with some types of tumors, but few data are available for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We queried our prospective database for patients with HCC staged with 11 C-choline PET/CT to assess the clinical impact of this imaging modality. Seven parameters were recorded: maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean), liver standardized uptake value (SUVliver), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), photopenic area, metabolic tumor burden (MTB = MTVxSUVmean), and SUVratio (SUVmax/SUVliver). Analysis was performed to identify parameters that could be predictors of overall survival (OS). Sixty patients were analyzed: fourteen (23%) were in stage 0-A, 37 (62%) in stage B, and 9 (15%) in stage C of the Barcelona classification. The Cox regression for OS showed that Barcelona stages (HR = 2.94; 95%CI = 1.41-4.51; p = 0.003) and MTV (HR = 2.11; 95%CI = 1.51-3.45; p = 0.026) were the only factors independently associated with OS. Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis revealed MTV ability in discriminating survival (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.77; 95%CI = 0.57-097; p < 0.001: patients with MTV ≥ 380 had worse OS ( p = 0.015)). The use of 11 C-choline PET/CT allows for better prognostic refinement in patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC. Incorporation of such modality into HCC staging system should be considered.

Abstract

Background: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program's (ACS-NSQIP) calculator has been endorsed to counsel patients regarding complications. The aim of this study was to assess its ability to predict outcomes after hepatectomy., Methods: Outcomes generated by the ACS-NSQIP were recorded in a consecutive cohort of patients. By using established classifications of complications, post-hepatectomy insufficiency and bile leak, the calculator was tested by the comparison of expected versus observed rates of events. The performance of the calculator was tested by using c-statistic and Brier score., Results: 950 patients who underwent hepatectomy between January 2014 and June 2019 were included. Predicted rates were significantly lower than actual rates: the mean ACS-NSQIP morbidity was 17.97% ± 8.4 vs. actual 37.01% ± 0.56 (P < 0.001); the mean ACS-NSQIP mortality was 0.91% ± 1.48 vs. actual 1.76% ± 0.11 (P < 0.001). Predicted length of stay (LOS) was significantly shorter: mean ACS-NSQIP was 5.81 ± 1.66 days vs. actual 10.91 ± 4.6 days (P < 0.001). Post-hepatectomy liver insufficiency and bile leak were recorded in 6.8% and 11.9% of patients, respectively. These events were not expressed by the calculator. C-statistic and Brier scores showed low performance of the calculator., Conclusion: The calculator underestimates the risks of complications, mortality and LOS after hepatectomy. Refinements of the ACS-NSQIP model that account for organ-specific risks should be considered., (Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Ltd.)

Abstract

Background: Trans-duodenal ampullectomy (TDA) is a surgical option for the treatment of selected ampullary neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience with TDA for the treatment of ampullary neoplasms, focusing on indications, technical aspects, and short- and long-term outcomes., Methods: All TDAs for ampullary neoplasms performed between January 2010 and December 2018 at our institution were retrospectively evaluated. Patients had ampullary neoplasms with low-grade dysplasia or in situ carcinoma (Tis) not suitable for an endoscopic approach, ampullary carcinoma unfit for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), or ampullary neuroendocrine G1-tumours., Results: Thirty-six patients were included in the study: 9 (25.0%) with neoplasms with low-grade dysplasia, 4 (11.1%) with G1 neuroendocrine tumours and 23 (63.9%) with Tis or invasive carcinoma. Mean operative time was 252.5 min. Overall and severe (Clavien-Dindo > IIIa) morbidity rate was 44.4% and 13.9%, respectively. No 90-day mortality was observed. At follow-up, no deaths were observed and local recurrence rate was 11.1% for patients with ampullary adenomas with low-grade dysplasia. Among four patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms, only one developed recurrence (pulmonary). Tis, T1 and T2 lesions were found in 16 (69.6%), 2 (8.7%) and 5 (21.7%) patients, respectively: recurrence occurred in 3 patients with Tis lesions (one malignant), no patients with T1 neoplasms and 2 patients with T2 lesions (3 patients had a survival of > 3 years)., Conclusions: TDA is a feasible and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of ampullary adenomas with low-grade dysplasia when endoscopic approach is contraindicated or has failed. For lesions with evidence of malignancy, TDA seems to be an oncological safe procedure for Tis ampullary cancer and a good palliative procedure for patients unfit for PD. Moreover, TDA may be appropriate for the treatment of G1 ampullary neuroendocrine neoplasms. A large multicentre study of TDA for early ampullary cancers is needed.

Abstract

After the initial description of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, Italy was hit first in Europe and the impact has been rapidly enlarging. In early April 2020, at the epidemic peak, there were more than 33,000 patients hospitalized including more than 4,000 in Intensive Care Units (ICU). On May 15, the confirmed cases in Italy approached 224,000 patients (5th highest number worldwide), with more than 31,000 deaths (3rd highest number worldwide). Non-urgent, non-cancer procedures were stopped to reallocate nurses and anesthetists to face the COVID-19 emergency. The timeline of the progressive involvement by COVID-19 patients of 36 hospitals referrals for surgical oncology in Italy was shown in this article. Only emergency, and elective oncological procedures were allowed with obvious limitations in terms of numbers of operable cases. Criteria for prioritizing oncologic patients waiting for surgery were released by each region, mainly issuing main factors for decision making, biological aggressiveness or symptomatic disease, the interval from the latest treatment, and the risk of un-resectability if delayed. However, the lack of facilities mostly influenced the decision or not to proceed. The risk of operating on oncological patients with ongoing SARS-CoV-2 syndrome is real, and a preoperative flowchart for ruling out this occurrence has been promoted. In our center, the day before surgery, chest CT and swab testing have been introduced, and a similar behavior has been recommended prior to patients' discharge. The care of patients addressed for surgical oncology should be featured by dedicated paths to secure proper and prompt disease management., (2020, National Center for Global Health and Medicine.)
