Abstract
Infectious complications (ICs) have been reported as major causes of postoperative mortality in patients with cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, the impact of ICs after gastrectomy on non-gastric cancer-related deaths (NGCDs) remains unexplored. The present study aimed to identify the impact of ICs after gastrectomy on NGCDs. A retrospective analysis of 712 patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative gastrectomy was conducted. The participants were categorized into IC and non-IC groups based on the incidence of postoperative IC. Clinicopathological factors and non-gastric cancer-related survival (NGCS) rates were compared between groups. Further NGCD and associated risk factor analyses were performed in a background factor-adjusted cohort using multivariate analysis. Among the 712 patients, 112 developed ICs (Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥II). In the entire cohort, the IC group had a significantly worse 5-year cumulative incidence of NGCD (17.8 vs. 10.6%; Gray's P=0.021) compared with the non-IC group. Although a number of clinicopathological factors differed between the groups, including patient background, operative factors and tumor factors, the risk factors for NGCD identified in the multivariate analysis were older age, low prognostic nutritional index, low skeletal muscle index and Charlson comorbidity index ≥1, excluding IC incidents. The IC group exhibited more background factors contributing to NGCDs, suggesting a potential increase in NGCD regardless of IC incidence.

Abstract
We report the case of a 32-year-old man who developed a giant diaphragmatic hernia following the removal of a left ventricular assist device 4 years prior due to improved cardiac function. Chest radiography revealed an intrathoracic prolapse of the gastrointestinal tract. The patient was diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia and a laparoscopy-assisted repair was performed. A 12 × 8 cm hernia was found intraoperatively on the left diaphragm, and a large portion of the gastrointestinal tract had prolapsed into the thoracic cavity. We attempted to repair the ventromedial defect using mesh; however, it was found to be insufficient. Therefore, we used a left rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap to fill the defect and sutured it to the mesh. A myocutaneous flap could be a useful strategy in cases where complete closure with mesh is difficult.

Abstract
Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is a highly invasive gastrointestinal surgical procedure. The National Clinical Database (NCD) of Japan, initiated in 2011, has compiled real-world data on esophagectomy, one of nine major gastroenterological surgeries. This review examines outcomes after esophagectomy analyzed using the Japanese big databases. Certification systems by the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery (JSGS) and the Japan Esophageal Society (JES) have shown that institutional certification has a greater impact on short-term surgical outcomes than surgeon certification. Minimally invasive esophagectomy has emerged as a viable alternative to open esophagectomy, although careful patient selection is crucial, especially for elderly patients with advanced tumors. The NCD has significantly contributed to the assessment and enhancement of surgical quality and short-term outcomes, while studies based on Comprehensive Registry of Esophageal Cancer in Japan (CRECJ) have provided data on patient characteristics, treatments, and long-term outcomes. The JES has conducted various questionnaire-based retrospective clinical reviews in collaboration with authorized institutions certified by JES. The Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) database provides administrative claims data including itemized prices for surgical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, and other inpatient services. Analyzing these nationwide databases can offer precise insights into surgical quality for esophageal cancer, potentially leading to improved treatment outcomes.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a modified incision line on the lesser curvature for gastric conduit formation during esophagectomy in enhancing the perfusion of gastric conduit as determined by indocyanine green fluorescence imaging and reducing the incidence of anastomotic leakage. METHODS A total of 272 patients who underwent esophagectomy at our institute between 2014 and 2022 were enrolled in this study. These patients were divided based on two different types of cutlines on the lesser curvature: conventional group (n = 141) following the traditional cutline and modified group (n = 131) adopting a modified cutline. Gastric conduit perfusion was assessed by ICG fluorescence imaging, and clinical outcomes after esophagectomy were evaluated. RESULTS The distance from the pylorus to the cutline was significantly longer in the modified group compared with the conventional group (median: 9.0 cm vs. 5.0 cm, p < 0.001). The blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall was significantly higher in the modified group than that in the conventional group (median: 2.81 cm/s vs. 2.54 cm/s, p = 0.001). Furthermore, anastomotic leakage was significantly lower (p = 0.024) and hospital stay was significantly shorter (p < 0.001) in the modified group compared with the conventional group. Multivariate analysis identified blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall as the only variable significantly associated with anastomotic leakage. CONCLUSIONS ICG fluorescence imaging is a feasible, reliable method for the assessment of gastric conduit perfusion. Modified lesser curvature cutline could enhance gastric conduit perfusion, promote blood circulation around the anastomotic site, and reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with distant metastasis were treated with systemic chemotherapy. Recent advances in multimodal treatments have made conversion therapy a viable option for patients with incurable ESCC. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of conversion therapy for ESCC with distant metastases. METHODS Conversion therapy was defined as surgery or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) used to cure tumors that were previously considered incurable because of distant metastasis. We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent ESCC conversion therapy and assessed the treatment outcomes, including adverse events and survival rates. RESULTS A total of 147 patients from 22 institutions were included. Systemic chemotherapy was initially administered to all patients. The most common M1 factor was the para-aortic lymph node, accounting for 55% of cases. Following the initial treatment, 116 patients underwent surgery, with 31 receiving CRT as conversion therapy. Postoperative complications in surgery patients included pneumonia (16%), anastomotic leakage (7%), and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (6%). During CRT, 18% of patients developed grade 3 or higher non-hematological toxicities. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 31.7%. Pathological responders had significantly longer OS than non-responders (hazard ratio 0.493, p = 0.012). The distribution of distant metastasis, regimen type, clinical response, and conversion therapy modality did not have a significant impact on OS. CONCLUSIONS Conversion therapy can be safely performed for ESCC with distant metastasis and has a favorable prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cricothyrotomy is a widely performed potentially life-saving treatment to secure an airway in emergencies. It is also a pneumonia-preventing treatment to secure an expectorant route in patients with difficulty self-expelling sputum; however, its safety and usefulness remain unclear. Thus, we conducted a nationwide survey of cricothyrotomy. METHODS We retrospectively collected and analyzed cricothyrotomy data from the institutions certified by the Japan Broncho-Esophagological Society or the Japanese Esophageal Society. Ultimately, 116 facilities responded to the survey and the present study included 1001 patients from 26 facilities who underwent cricothyrotomies from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2021. RESULTS Cricothyrotomy was performed for sputum suctioning after esophagectomy or other surgical procedures in 945 (94.4%) cases and for emergency airway clearance in 48 (4.8%) cases. Complications during puncture were observed in 12 (1.2%) cases. We found significantly fewer complications during puncture for sputum suction (1.0%) compared with emergency airway clearance (4.2%) (p = 0.002), and also at the condition after esophagectomy (0.5%) compared with other surgical procedures (7.8%) (p < 0.001). Complications after puncture were observed in 45 (4.5%) cases, and we found significantly fewer complications after puncture at the condition after esophagectomy (4.2%) compared with other surgical procedures (11.8%) (p = 0.032). There were no significant differences in the type of kit used for complications during and after the puncture. CONCLUSIONS Cricothyrotomy for prophylactic sputum suctioning after esophagectomy was safer compared to emergency airway clearance. However, future studies should verify the efficacy of cricothyrotomy.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is still a difficult disease to treat, despite recent advances in surgical techniques and chemotherapeutic drugs. Its incidence continues to rise, as does the number of older patients. Sarcopenia is defined as a progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Sarcopenia is present in approximately 40% in patients with pancreatic cancer. Sarcopenia is primarily diagnosed through imaging, and progress is being made in the development of automated methods and artificial intelligence, as well as biomarker research. Sarcopenia has been linked to a poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients. However, some studies suggest that sarcopenia is not always associated with a poor prognosis, depending on the resectability of pancreatic cancer and the nature of treatment, such as surgery or chemotherapy. Recent meta-analyses have found that sarcopenia is not linked to postoperative complications. It is still debated whether there is a link between sarcopenia and drug toxicity during chemotherapy. The relationship between sarcopenia and immunity has been investigated, but the mechanism is still unknown.

Importance of duodenal stump reinforcement to prevent stump leakage after gastrectomy: a large-scale multicenter retrospective study (KSCC DELICATE study). Gastric Cancer 2024:10.1007/s10120-024-01538-x. [PMID: 39028419 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-024-01538-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The significance of reinforcement of the duodenal stump with seromuscular sutures and the effectiveness of reinforced staplers in preventing duodenal stump leakage remain unclear. We aimed to explore the importance of duodenal stump reinforcement and determine the optimal reinforcement method for preventing duodenal stump leakage. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2021, with data analyzed between December 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023. This multicenter study across 57 institutes in Japan included 16,475 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomies. Elective open or minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) gastrectomy was performed in patients with gastric cancer. RESULTS Duodenal stump leakage occurred in 153 (0.93%) of 16,475 patients. The proportions of males, patients aged ≥ 75 years, and ≥ pN1 were higher in patients with duodenal stump leakage than in those without duodenal stump leakage. The incidence of duodenal stump leakage was significantly lower in the group treated with reinforcement by seromuscular sutures or using reinforced stapler than in the group without reinforcement (0.72% vs. 1.19%, p = 0.002). Duodenal stump leakage incidence was also significantly lower in high-volume institutions than in low-volume institutions (0.70% vs. 1.65%, p = 0.047). The rate of duodenal stump leakage-related mortality was 7.8% (12/153). In the multivariate analysis, preoperative asthma and duodenal invasion were identified as independent preoperative risk factors for duodenal stump leakage-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS The duodenal stump should be reinforced to prevent duodenal stump leakage after radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.

Standardized procedure for preventing late intestinal complications following minimally invasive total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a single-center retrospective cohort study. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:4067-4084. [PMID: 38834724 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10929-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although minimally invasive total gastrectomy for gastric cancer is commonly performed, reports regarding late complications are limited. We have made several improvements each time we experienced severe late complications since 2009. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of these improved procedures in preventing late complications. METHODS Between January 2009 and December 2019, 302 patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups: Period-I (2009-2013, before established standardization of procedure, 166 patients) and Period-II (2014-2019, after established standardization of procedure, 136 patients). The standardized procedure comprised four major steps, including closure of the mesentery defects and diaphragm crus, circumferential fixation of the anastomotic site into the diaphragm, and linearization around the anastomotic site of esophagojejunostomy. The incidence of late complications was retrospectively compared between the two groups. RESULTS Late overall complications that occurred over 30 days after surgery were observed in 19 (6.3%) patients. In all, 14 of 24 (58.3%) patients admitted due to late intestinal complications eventually required reoperation for treatment. The most frequent complication was nonstenotic outlet obstruction of the distal jejunal limb. The incidence of late overall complications was significantly lower in Period-II than in Period-I (2.9 vs 9.0%, p = 0.030). Intestinal complications were reduced considerably in Period-II. The 3-year cumulative incidence rate of late overall complications was significantly lower in Period-II than in Period-I (0.03 vs 0.10, p = 0.035). Period-I as the only independent risk factor for the development of late intestinal complications. CONCLUSION Late complications after laparoscopic total gastrectomy sometimes occurred, and more than half of the patients with intestinal complications required reoperation. Our standardized procedure was associated with a lower risk of late intestinal complications after minimally invasive total gastrectomy followed by intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy using linear staplers in a cohort of patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE While regarded as function-preserving gastrectomy, few prospective longitudinal clinical trials have addressed the postoperative quality of life (QOL) after pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG). We prospectively compared chronological changes in postoperative body weight and the QOL between PPG and distal gastrectomy (DG) for pathological Stage I gastric cancer (GC). METHODS We conducted a multi-institutional prospective study (CCOG1601) to evaluate patients who underwent DG and PPG. The QOL was examined using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of life questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the Post-Gastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale-37 (PGSAS-37). A total of 295 patients were enrolled from 15 institutions, and propensity score matching was performed to adjust for the essential variables for comparison analyses. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 25 pairs of patients were identified. In the first postoperative month, DG achieved a superior nausea and vomiting score (EORTC QLQ-C30) and meal-related distress, indigestion, and dumping scores (PGSAS-37). No significant differences were noted between DG and PPG in the long-term QOL. Postoperative body weight loss was similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS This prospective observational study failed to demonstrate the superiority of PPG over DG in terms of postoperative body weight changes and the QOL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Here, we describe the precise surgical technique for a novel procedure involving 2-team transanal total mesorectal excision with en bloc lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) dissection combined with resection of the involved main internal iliac vessels and pelvic plexus. METHODS From September 2020 to May 2023, 4 patients underwent the procedure at our hospital. RESULTS The operation time and blood loss were 272 to 412 minutes and 10 to 124 mL, respectively. No patients required conversion to open surgery or exhibited Clavien-Dindo grade III or worse postoperative complications, although 2 developed grade II urinary dysfunction. All surgical margins were negative. CONCLUSIONS Our novel 2-team method can facilitate safe and satisfactory surgery, even for highly advanced rectal cancer. The transanal approach offers excellent visibility and operability, even during LPLN and adjacent structure dissection. Furthermore, initial dissection of the distal branches of the iliac vessels prevents excessive lymphatic tissue congestion, facilitating easier, and clearer dissection.

Abstract
Background There have been few studies of countermeasures against postoperative cholangitis, a serious complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) that impairs quality of life. Objective To evaluate our recently developed, novel method of choledochojejunostomy with a larger anastomotic diameter, the "T-shaped anastomosis." Methods The study included 261 cases of PD. The T-shaped choledochojejunostomy technique was performed with an additional incision for a distance greater than half the diameter of the bile duct at the anterior wall of the bile duct and the anterior wall of the elevated jejunum. To compensate for potential confounding biases between the standard anastomosis group (n = 206) and the T-shaped anastomosis group (n = 55), we performed propensity score matching (PSM). The primary endpoint was the incidence of medium-term postoperative cholangitis adjusted for PSM. Results In the PSM analysis, 54 patients in each group were matched, and the median bile duct diameter measured by preoperative CT was 8.8 mm versus 9.3 mm, the rate of preoperative biliary drainage was 31% versus 37%, the incidence of cholangitis within 1 month before surgery was 9% versus 13%, and the incidence of postoperative bile leakage was 2% versus 2%, with no significant differences. The incidence of medium-term postoperative cholangitis was 15% versus 4%, and multivariate logistic regression revealed that T-shaped choledochojejunostomy was an independent predictor of a reduced incidence of cholangitis (odds ratio, 0.17, 95% CI 0.02-0.81; p = 0.024). Conclusions The T-shaped choledochojejunostomy technique was shown to be effective with a significant reduction in the incidence of medium-term postoperative cholangitis. Clinical trial identification: UMIN000050990.

Albumin-indocyanine green evaluation of future liver remnant predicts liver failure after anatomical hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma: A dual-center retrospective study. Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2024; 8:293-300. [PMID: 38455479 PMCID: PMC10914702 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim The albumin-indocyanine green evaluation (ALICE) score is a useful predictor of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF); however, its usefulness in combination with future liver remnant (FLR), measured by 3-D volumetry, has not been investigated. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the ALICE of the FLR (ALICE-FLR) score and severe PHLF. Methods The clinical data of 215 patients who underwent anatomical hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma without portal vein embolization at two institutes between January 2010 and December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. PHLF occurrence and severity were determined according to the International Study Group of Liver Surgery's definition. Grades B and C PHLF were defined as severe PHLF. The ALICE-FLR, ALICE scores, and indocyanine green clearance of FLR (ICGK-FLR) were evaluated for severe PHLF prediction. Results Severe PHLF was observed in 40 patients (18.6%). The areas under the curve (AUCs) for the ALICE-FLR, ALICE scores, ICGK-FLR, and FLR were 0.76, 0.64, 0.73, and 0.69, respectively. The AUC of the ALICE-FLR score was significantly higher than that of the ALICE score. The ALICE-FLR score was identified as an independent predictor of severe PHLF (the odds ratio for every 0.01 increment in the ALICE-FLR score was 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.070-1.453; p = 0.004). Among patients with severe PHLF, the ALICE-FLR score was significantly higher in the grade C than in the grade B PHLF group. Conclusion The combination of liver function models, including indocyanine green, albumin, and FLR is considered compatible for predicting severe PHLF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC) for right-sided colon cancer (CC) using a craniocaudal approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS The data of patients who underwent SILC for right-sided CC at our hospital between January 2013 and December 2022 were retrospectively collected. Surgery was performed using a craniocaudal approach. Short- and long-term operative outcomes were analysed. RESULTS In total, 269 patients (127 men, 142 women; median age 74 years) underwent SILC for right-sided CC. The cases included ileocaecal resection (n = 138) and right hemicolectomy (n = 131). The median operative time was 154 min, and the median operative blood loss was 0 ml. Twenty-seven cases (10.0%) required an additional laparoscopic trocar, and 9 (3.3%) were converted to open surgery. The Clavien-Dindo classification Grade III post-operative complications were detected in 7 (2.6%) cases. SILC was performed by 25 surgeons, including inexperienced surgeons, with a median age of 34 years. The 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) was 96.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 91.3%-98.2%), and CSS per pathological disease stage was 100% for Stages 0-I and II and 86.2% (95% CI 71.3%-93.7%) for Stage III. The 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 90.6% (95% CI 85.7%-93.9%), and RFS per pathological disease stage was 100% for Stage 0-I, 91.7% (95% CI 80.5%-96.6%) for Stage II and 76.1% (95% CI 63.0%-85.1%) for Stage III. CONCLUSIONS SILC for right-sided CC can be safely performed with a craniocaudal approach, with reasonable short- and long-term outcomes.

No difference in the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications between abdominal laparoscopy and laparotomy for minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy: a retrospective cohort study using a nationwide Japanese database. Esophagus 2024; 21:11-21. [PMID: 38038806 DOI: 10.1007/s10388-023-01032-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION There remains a lack of evidence regarding the optimal abdominal approach, including laparoscopy, hand-assisted, and open laparotomy for minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy. We aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative complications, particularly pulmonary complications, between laparoscopy and open laparotomy for minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy using nationwide Japanese databases. METHODS Data from patients in the National Clinical Database (NCD) who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer were analyzed. The incidence of pulmonary complications was compared between abdominal laparoscopy and laparotomy after matching the propensity scores (PS) from preoperative factors to account for confounding bias. Laparoscopic-assisted surgery (LAS) was also compared to hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS). RESULTS Of the 24,790 patients who underwent esophagectomy between 2018 and 2021, data from 12,633 underwent thoracoscopic procedure. The proportion of patients who experienced pulmonary complications did not significantly differ between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group after matching (664/3195 patients, 20.8% versus 702/3195 patients, 22.0%; P = 0.25). No difference in the incidence of pulmonary complications was observed among patients treated using the laparoscopic approach (508/2439 patients, 20.8% in the LAS group versus 498/2439 patients, 20.4% in the HALS group; P = 0.72). CONCLUSIONS We observed no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications between laparoscopy and laparotomy for thoracoscopic esophagectomy. Short-term outcomes were similar between the laparoscopic-assisted approach and the hand-assisted approach. This study provides valuable insights into the optimal abdominal approach for thoracoscopic esophagectomy using data from a nationwide database that reflect real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
Aim We evaluated the safety of robotic surgery for right-sided colon cancer in Japan. Methods This was a prospective, open-label, single-arm phase II trial conducted at two institutions. Patients ≥20 years old with stage I-III right-sided colon cancer and scheduled for radical resection with ≥D2 lymph node dissection were eligible. The criterion for surgeons was experience performing robot-assisted rectal resection in ≥40 cases. The primary endpoint was the postoperative complication rate ≤30 days after surgery. Results From August 2021 to February 2023, 42 patients were enrolled; three were excluded, with 39 analyzed as the full analysis set. The median age was 72 years, and the median body mass index was 23.2. The tumor was located in the cecum in 13 cases (33.3%), ascending colon in 20 cases (51.3%), and transverse colon in six cases (15.4%). Ileocolic resection was performed in 17 cases (43.5%) and right hemicolectomy in 22 cases (56.5%), both with D3 lymph node dissection. The median console time was 109 min, and the operative time was 170 min. The mean blood loss was 7.7 mL. Intracorporeal anastomosis was performed in 28 patients (71.8%). There were no conversions and no intraoperative adverse events. The median postoperative stay was 5 days. Postoperative complications occurred in four patients (10.2%; paralytic ileus [n = 3] and pneumonia [n = 1]). All postoperative complications were grade 1 or 2, with no mortalities noted. R0 resection was achieved in all patients. Conclusions This study demonstrated the safety and feasibility of robotic surgery for right-sided colon cancer.

Abstract
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation (CVL) in laparoscopic surgery for right-sided colon cancer (RSCC) requires a precise understanding of the vascular anatomy. The efficacy of intraoperative ultrasound (IUS) in the identification of blood vessels for RSCC surgery was not evaluated. The aim of this study was to compare the intraoperative and short-term outcomes of CME with CVL with or without IUS by laparoscopic surgery for RSCC. We performed IUS on 26 patients of RSCC and compared with a total of 124 patients who underwent the surgery for RSCC at our institution. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce the confounding effects to imbalances in the use of IUS. The IUS identified the main feeding artery and the accompanying vein in all 26 cases. After PSM, the amount of intraoperative blood loss in the IUS group was significantly lower than that in the conventional group (5 ml vs. 30 ml, p = 0.035) and no significant difference of the postoperative complications was observed. The IUS reduced the risk of bleeding in the surgery for RSCC. The IUS is a safe and feasible technique that help the surgeons for anatomical understandings under real-time condition in the laparoscopic surgery of RSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze the nationwide surgical outcome of a left trisectionectomy (LT) and to identify the perioperative risk factors associated with its morbidity. METHODS Cases of LT for hepato-biliary malignancies registered at the Japanese National Clinical Database between 2013 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Statistical analyses were performed to identify the perioperative risk factors associated with a morbidity of Clavien-Dindo classification (CD) ≥III. RESULTS Left trisectionectomy was performed on 473 and 238 cases of biliary and nonbiliary cancers, respectively. Morbidity of CD ≥III and V occurred in 45% and 5% of cases with biliary cancer, respectively, compared with 26% and 2% of cases with nonbiliary cancer, respectively. In multivariable analyses, biliary cancer was significantly associated with a morbidity of CD ≥III (odds ratio, 1.87; p = .018). In subgroup analyses for biliary cancer, classification of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) 2, portal vein resection (PVR), and intraoperative blood loss ≥30 mL/kg were significantly associated with a morbidity of CD ≥III. CONCLUSIONS Biliary cancer induces severe morbidity after LT. The ASA-PS classification, PVR, and intraoperative blood loss indicate severe morbidity after LT for biliary cancer.

Abstract
Objective To clarify the surgical outcomes of esophagectomy in Japan and comprehensively evaluate trends over time. It is important to analyze data from a large number of consecutive patients from a single institution. Methods We evaluated the treatment outcomes, complications, and prognosis of 1500 consecutive patients who underwent esophagectomy during 5 periods: group A (n = 284), 1964-1984; group B (n = 345), 1985-1993; group C (n = 253), 1994-2002; group D (n = 297), 2003-2012; and group E (n = 321), 2013-March 2020. Results The incidences of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma were 93.8% and 3.3%, respectively. The proportion of adenocarcinoma cases has gradually increased over time. The in-hospital mortality rates for groups A, B, C, D, and E were 12%, 4.6%, 1.2%, 2.9%, and 1.5%, respectively. Group A had a significantly higher mortality rate than the other groups (P < 0.0001). Three-year survival rates were 22.2%, 47.8%, 53.4%, 69.9%, and 72.6% in groups A-E, respectively, 5-year survival rates were 17.2%, 41.3%, 49.2%, 63.9%, and 68.4%, respectively (P < 0.0001, group A vs groups D and E). The prognosis improved over time. Multivariate analysis revealed that depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, the extent of lymph node resection, curative resection, pulmonary complications, and anastomotic leakage were significant independent prognostic factors. However, for recent surgeries (groups D and E), only the depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, and curative resection were significant independent prognostic factors. Conclusions Valuable changes in background and prognostic factors occurred over time. These findings will help optimize esophageal cancer management and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (GAPPS) was first proposed by Wothley et al. in 2012 as a rare familial gastric cancer syndrome associated with an autosomal dominant form of inheritance. GAPPS is characterized by gastric basal gland polyposis from the hilum to the body of the stomach. Li et al. in 2016 showed that the cause of the disease is a point mutation in the promotor 1B region of the APC gene, and genetic testing was used to confirm the diagnosis. If the patient has already developed gastric cancer, treatment should be based on the usual treatment for gastric cancer. If no distant metastases exist, a good prognosis can be expected by performing a total gastrectomy. On the other hand, patients with distant metastasis have a poor prognosis. In the case of dysplasia, prophylactic total gastrectomy is recommended, but because it is highly invasive and postoperative postgastrectomy syndrome must be considered, the decision should be made with careful consideration of the patient's background. Therefore, there are no guidelines for screening for GAPPS, the timing of prophylactic total gastrectomy, or methods of endoscopic surveillance. Because GAPPS is a rare disease, its natural history is still unclear. Further case series are needed to elucidate the molecular biology and clinicopathological features of GAPPS and to establish clinical management, including diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance. In this review, we provide an overview of GAPPS, its clinical management, and its problems, which will be useful for the treatment of GAPPS.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer has one of the poorest prognoses among all cancer types, due to the propensity for an early spread through the lymphatics and the difficulty to perform surgical treatment. To improve the prognosis, the management of esophageal cancer has been developed through the conduct of several clinical trials worldwide. In western societies, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been established as the standard treatment approach, as indicated by the results of the CROSS trial. Recently, the Japanese JCOG1109 trial demonstrated the significant improvement of survival by neoadjuvant triplet chemotherapy. As an adjuvant treatment, an immune checkpoint inhibitor has shown promising results in the CheckMate-577 trial. Including adjuvant S-1 mono therapy as another option, a randomised control phase III study will determine the ideal treatment for surgically resectable esophageal cancer. Furthermore, the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant cisplatin +5-fluorouracil or DCF plus nivolumab are examined in the JCOG1804E (FRONTiER) study. In addition to definitive chemoradiation therapy, the SANO trial is examining the safety and efficacy of active surveillance after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, which might give us the choice to adopt organ preservation approach. The development of treatment has progressed dramatically with the advent of immunotherapy. Considering the biomarkers to predict the treatment response and prognosis, individualised multidisciplinary treatment strategies should be established for esophageal cancer patients.

[PMID: 37416735 PMCID: PMC10319624 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Thoracic esophagectomy is a particularly invasive and complicated surgical procedure, with a reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach, jejunum, or colon. The posterior mediastinal, retrosternal, and subcutaneous routes are the three possible esophageal reconstruction routes. Each route has advantages and disadvantages, and the optimal reconstruction route after esophagectomy remains controversial. Additionally, the best anastomotic techniques after esophagectomy in terms of location (Ivor Lewis or McKeown) and suturing (manual or mechanical) are debatable. Our meta-analysis investigating postoperative complications after esophagectomy between the posterior mediastinal and retrosternal routes revealed that the posterior mediastinal route was associated with a significantly lower anastomotic leakage rate than the retrosternal route (odds ratio = 0.78, 95% confidence interval: 0.70-0.87, p < 0.0001). Conversely, pulmonary complications (odds ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval: 0.58-1.11, p = 0.19) and mortality between the posterior mediastinal and retrosternal routes (odds ratio = 0.79, 95% confidence interval: 0.56-1.12, p = 0.19) were not significantly different. However, the incidence of pneumonia may be lower when using the retrosternal route rather than the posterior mediastinal route for performing minimally invasive esophagectomy. The McKeown procedure is oncologically necessary for tumors located above the carina to dissect upper mediastinal and cervical lymph nodes; however, the Ivor Lewis procedure offers perioperative and oncological safety for tumors located under the carina. An individualized treatment strategy for selecting the optimal reconstruction procedure can be proposed in future studies based on oncological and patient risk factors considering mid- to long-term quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic gastrectomy (RG) using the da Vinci Surgical System for gastric cancer was approved for national medical insurance coverage in Japan in April 2018, and its number has been rapidly increasing since then. AIM We reviewed and compared current evidence on RG and conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) to identify the differences in surgical outcomes. METHODS Three independent reviewers systematically reviewed the data collected from a comprehensive literature search by an independent organization, focusing on the following nine endpoints: mortality, morbidity, operative time, estimated blood loss volume, length of postoperative hospital stay, long-term oncologic outcome, quality of life, learning curve, and cost. RESULTS Compared to LG, RG has lower intraoperative blood loss volume, shorter length of hospital stay, and shorter learning curve, but both procedures have similar mortality. Contrarily, its disadvantages include longer procedural time and higher costs. Although the morbidity rate and long-term outcomes are almost comparable, RG showed superior potentials. Currently, the outcomes of RG are considered comparable to or better than LG. CONCLUSION RG might be applicable to all gastric cancer patients who fulfill the indication of LG at institutions that meet specific criteria and are approved to claim the National Health Insurance costs for the use of the surgical robot in Japan.
