Abstract

Objective: To investigate the oncological safety and potential cost savings of selective histopathological examination after appendectomy. Background: The necessity of routine histopathological examination after appendectomy has been questioned, but prospective studies investigating the safety of a selective policy are lacking. Methods: In this multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional study, inspection and palpation of the (meso)appendix was performed by the surgeon in patients with suspected appendicitis. The surgeon's opinion on additional value of histopathological examination was reported before sending all specimens to the pathologist. Main outcomes were the number of hypothetically missed appendiceal neoplasms with clinical consequences benefiting the patient (upper limit two-sided 95% confidence interval below 3:1000 considered oncologically safe) and potential cost savings after selective histopathological examination. Results: Seven thousand three hundred thirty-nine patients were included. After a selective policy, 4966/7339 (67.7%) specimens would have been refrained from histopathological examination. Appendiceal neoplasms with clinical consequences would have been missed in 22/4966 patients. In 5/22, residual disease was completely resected during additional surgery. Hence, an appendiceal neoplasm with clinical consequences benefiting the patient would have been missed in 1.01:1000 patients (upper limit 95% confidence interval 1.61:1000). In contrast, twice as many patients (10/22) would not have been exposed to potential harm due to re-resections without clear benefit, whereas consequences were neither beneficial nor harmful in the remaining seven. Estimated cost savings established by replacing routine for selective histopathological examination were 725,400 per 10,000 patients. Conclusions: Selective histopathological examination after appendectomy for suspected appendicitis is oncologically safe and will likely result in a reduction of pathologists' workload, less costs, and fewer re-resections without clear benefit.

Abstract

Item does not contain fulltext BACKGROUND: Present theory is that uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis are different entities. Recent studies suggest it is safe to delay surgery in patients with uncomplicated appendicitis. We hypothesize that patients with complicated appendicitis are at higher risk for postoperative complications when surgery is delayed. METHODS: Data was used from the multicenter, prospective SNAPSHOT appendicitis study of 1975 patients undergoing surgery for suspected appendicitis. Adult patients (≥ 18 years) who underwent appendectomy for appendicitis were included in this study. The primary outcome was the difference in postoperative complications between patients with complicated appendicitis who were operated within and after 8 h after hospital presentation. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of both uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis in relationship to delay of appendectomy. Follow-up was 30 days. A multivariable analysis was performed. RESULTS: Of 1341 adult patients with appendicitis, 34.3% had complicated appendicitis. In patients with complicated appendicitis, 22.8% developed a postoperative complication compared to 8.2% for uncomplicated appendicitis (P 8 h) increased the complication rate in patients with complicated appendicitis (28.1%) compared to surgery within 8 h (18.3%; P = 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed a delay in surgery as an independent predictor for a postoperative complication in patients with complicated appendicitis (OR 1.71; 95%CI 1.01-2.68, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: In-hospital delay of surgery (> 8 h) in patients with complicated appendicitis is associated with a higher risk of a postoperative complication. It is important that we recognize and treat these patients early.

Abstract

Mycotic aneurysms leading to aortoduodenal fistula (ADF) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. We report a patient with a mycotic aneurysm and ADF who required emergency laparotomy. After excision of the aneurysm, vascular reconstruction was performed using an autologous graft. The left long saphenous vein was harvested and constructed into a spiral graft. The graft was inserted using a standard inlay technique. After 12 months the patient is in good health. No inflammation or dilation of the saphenous vein spiral graft has been noted. We suggest that in the emergency treatment of mycotic abdominal aneurysm, aortic reconstruction with saphenous vein spiral graft is a valuable option.

Abstract

Introduction: Recently the UKPDS study revealed the potency of metformin therapy in obese type 2 diabetic patients. A retrospective study was performed to assess the efficacy of metformin therapy in improving metabolic control in everyday practice., Patients and Methods: Type 2 diabetic patients were included if they met the following criteria: metformin had been added when the previous treatment failed to optimise glycaemic control expressed in HbA1c level; duration of metformin therapy had to be at least six months. Efficacy of metformin therapy, expressed as a decrease in HbA1c, was measured with a median follow-up of 32 (range 6-60) months. Variables were analysed using a paired t-test., Results: One hundred and sixty-three patients were treated with metformin. 98 patients were excluded, because of absence of an HbA1c value prior to treatment with metformin mainly (n = 78). The mean HbA1c of included patients had decreased 1.4% (p < 0.001) after 6 months (n = 65), 1.6% (p < 0.001) after 24 months (n = 45) and 1.5 (p < 0.001) after 36 months (n = 28). During follow-up there was no significant weight gain or loss., Conclusion: Metformin can be considered an effective treatment to improve glycaemic control in obese type 2 diabetic patients.
