Adherence to Guidelines for Diagnosis, Staging, and Treatment for Gastric Cancer in Italy According to the View of Surgeons and Patients. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4240. [PMID: 39064280 PMCID: PMC11277783 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13144240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Despite the strong declining trends in incidence and mortality over the last decades, gastric cancer (GC) is still burdened with high mortality, even in high-income countries. To improve GC prognosis, several guidelines have been increasingly published with indications about the most appropriate GC management. The Italian Society of Digestive System Pathology (SIPAD) and Gastric Cancer Italian Research Group (GIRCG) designed a survey for both surgeons and patients with the purpose of evaluating the degree of application and adherence to guidelines in GC management in Italy. Materials and Methods: Between January and May 2022, a questionnaire has been administered to a sample of Italian surgeons and, in a simplified version, to members of the Patient Association "Vivere Senza Stomaco" (patients surgically treated for GC between 2008 and 2021) to investigate the diagnosis, staging, and treatment issues. Results: The survey has been completed by 125 surgeons and 125 patients. Abdominal CT with gastric hydro-distension before treatment was not widespread in both groups (47% and 42%, respectively). The rate of surgeons stating that they do not usually perform minimally invasive gastrectomy was 15%, but the rate of patients who underwent a minimally invasive approach was 22% (between 2011 and 2022). The percentage of surgeons declaring to perform extended lymphadenectomy (>D2) was 97%, although a limited lymph node dissection rate was observed in about 35% of patients. Conclusions: This survey shows several important discrepancies from surgical attitudes declared by surgeons and real data derived from the reports available to the patients, suggesting heterogeneous management in clinical practice and, thus, a not rigorous adherence to the guidelines.

The outcomes of laparoscopic omentum-preserving gastrectomy compared to open surgery with omentectomy in gastric cancer patients: a propensity score matched study of 249 UICC stage 0-IV gastric cancer patients. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:3096-3105. [PMID: 38622224 PMCID: PMC11133033 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10835-6] [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: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed a propensity score matched study comparing patients' short- and long-term results after laparoscopic omentum-preserving gastrectomy and open surgery with omentectomy with UICC stages 0-IV. METHODS Between 2015 and 2022, 311 patients with gastric cancer underwent surgery at the University Clinical Centre Maribor. Of these, 249 met the inclusion criteria and 198 were included in the study group after PSM. RESULTS Patients in both groups were well-balanced in demographic and pathological characteristics after PSM. There was no significant difference in the 5-year survival between groups (LAP: 62.2% vs. OPN: 54.4%; p = 0.950). The Cox regression model identified UICC stage and age as significant predictors for survival. In both groups, peritoneal dissemination was the most common site of recurrence. The multivariate analysis identified the UICC stage as a significant predictor for peritoneal recurrence, while omental preservation was not associated with a higher risk of peritoneal dissemination. Omentum preservation was not associated with more intestinal obstruction. Patients in the LAP group had significantly shorter hospital stays (LAP: 9(6) vs. OPN: 10(5); p = 0.009), less postoperative morbidity (LAP: 17% vs. OPN: 23.4%; p = 0.009), and significantly more extracted LNs per operation compared to open surgery (LAP: 31 ± 11 LNs vs. OPN: 25 ± 12 LNs; p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Based on our results, we recommend the use of laparoscopic omentum-preserving gastrectomy in patients with early and advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
The goal of a gastric cancer operation is a microscopically negative resection margin and D2 lymphadenectomy. Minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic and robotic) have been proven to be equivalent for oncologic care, yet with faster recovery. Endoscopic mucosal resection can be used for T1a N0 tumor resection. Better understanding of hereditary gastric cancer and molecular subtypes has led to specialized recommendations for MSI-high tumors and patients with pathogenic CDH1 mutations. In the future, surgical management will support minimally invasive approaches and personalized cancer care based on subtype.

Abstract
Robotic surgery may be an alternative to laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer (GC). However, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting the differences in survival between these two approaches are currently lacking. From September 2017 to January 2020, 300 patients with cT1-4a and N0/+ were enrolled and randomized to either the robotic (RDG) or laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) group (NCT03313700). The primary endpoint was 3-year disease-free survival (DFS); secondary endpoints reported here are the 3-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence patterns. The remaining secondary outcomes include intraoperative outcomes, postoperative recovery, quality of lymphadenectomy, and cost differences, which have previously been reported. There were 283 patients in the modified intention-to-treat analysis (RDG group: n = 141; LDG group: n = 142). The trial has met pre-specified endpoints. The 3-year DFS rates were 85.8% and 73.2% in the RDG and LDG groups, respectively (p = 0.011). Multivariable Cox regression model including age, tumor size, sex, ECOG PS, lymphovascular invasion, histology, pT stage, and pN stage showed that RDG was associated with better 3-year DFS (HR: 0.541; 95% CI: 0.314-0.932). The RDG also improved the 3-year cumulative recurrence rate (RDG vs. LDG: 12.1% vs. 21.1%; HR: 0.546, 95% CI: 0.302-0.990). Compared to LDG, RDG demonstrated non-inferiority in 3-year DFS rate.

Surgical options and survival prognosis in geriatric patients beyond average lifespan with locally advanced gastric cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:2756-2769. [PMID: 38575830 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10798-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The appropriateness of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for super-geriatric patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) is inconclusive, and the prognostic factors are also yet to be elucidated. Herein, we aimed to investigate the surgical and oncological outcomes of LG versus open gastrectomy (OG) for geriatric patients with LAGC who have outlived the average lifespan of the Chinese population (≥ 78 years). METHODS This is a monocentric, retrospective, comparative study. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to minimize selection bias and ensure well-balanced characteristics. The primary endpoint of interest was 3-year overall survival, while secondary endpoints included procedure-related variables, postoperative recovery indices, and complications. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify unfavorable prognostic factors. RESULTS Of 196 eligible individuals, 107 underwent LG and 89 underwent OG, with a median age (interquartile range [IQR]) of 82 [79, 84] years. PSM yielded 61 matched pairs, with comparable demographic and tumor characteristics. The LG group had a significantly lower overall complication rate than the OG group (31.1% vs. 49.2%, P = 0.042), as well as shorter duration of postoperative hospital stay [12 (11, 13) vs. 13 (12, 15.5) d, P < 0. 001], less intraoperative blood loss [95 (75, 150) vs. 230 (195, 290) mL, P < 0.001], but a longer operative time [228 (210, 255.5) vs. 196 (180, 219.5) min, P < 0.001]. The times to first aerofluxus, defecation, liquid diet, and half-liquid diet were comparable. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed no significant difference in 3-year overall survival between the groups, either in the entire cohort or in subgroups with different TNM staging. Moreover, Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index scores of > 6 [hazard ratio (HR) 4.003; P = 0.021] and pathologic TNM stage III (HR 3.816, P = 0.023) were independent unfavorable prognostic factors for long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS LG performed by experienced surgeons offers the benefits of comparable or better surgical and oncological safety profiles than OG for super-geriatric patients with LAGC.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in the surgical management of gastric cancer over the years, and previous discrepancies in surgical practice between different parts of the world have gradually lessened. A transition from the earlier period of progressively more extensive surgery to the current trend of a more tailored and evidence-based approach is clear. Prophylactic resection of adjacent anatomical structures or neighboring organs and extensive lymph node dissections that were once assumed to increase the chances of long-term survival are now performed selectively. Laparoscopic gastrectomy has been widely adopted and its indications have steadily expanded, from early cancers located in the distal part of the stomach, to locally advanced tumors where total gastrectomy is required. In parallel, function-preserving surgery has also evolved and now constitutes a valid option for early gastric cancer. Pylorus-preserving and proximal gastrectomy have improved the postoperative quality of life of patients, and sentinel node navigation surgery is being explored as the next step in the process of further refining the minimally invasive concept. Moreover, innovative techniques such as indocyanine green fluorescence imaging and robot-assisted gastrectomy are being introduced in clinical practice. These technologies hold promise for enhancing surgical precision, ultimately improving the oncological and functional outcomes.

Short-Term Outcomes Analysis Comparing Open, Laparoscopic, Laparoscopic-Assisted, and Robotic Distal Gastrectomy for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: A Randomized Trials Network Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1620. [PMID: 38730574 PMCID: PMC11083793 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16091620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is debated. The aim of this study was to execute a comprehensive assessment of principal surgical treatments for resectable distal gastric cancer. METHODS Systematic review and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) network meta-analysis. Open (Op-DG), laparoscopic-assisted (LapAs-DG), totally laparoscopic (Lap-DG), and robotic distal gastrectomy (Rob-DG) were compared. Pooled effect-size measures were the risk ratio (RR), the weighted mean difference (WMD), and the 95% credible intervals (CrIs). RESULTS Ten RCTs (3823 patients) were included. Overall, 1012 (26.5%) underwent Lap-DG, 902 (23.6%) LapAs-DG, 1768 (46.2%) Op-DG, and 141 (3.7%) Rob-DG. Anastomotic leak, severe complications (Clavien-Dindo > 3), and in-hospital mortality were comparable. No differences were observed for reoperation rate, pulmonary complications, postoperative bleeding requiring transfusion, surgical-site infection, cardiovascular complications, number of harvested lymph nodes, and tumor-free resection margins. Compared to Op-DG, Lap-DG and LapAs-DG showed a significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss with a trend toward shorter time to first flatus and reduced length of stay. CONCLUSIONS LapAs-DG, Lap-DG, and Rob-DG performed in referral centers by dedicated surgeons have comparable short-term outcomes to Op-DG for locally AGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Even in cancer of unknown primary (CUP), which is rare clinical condition, solitary anterosuperior lymph node (LN) along the common hepatic artery (No.8a LN) enlargement diagnosed as metastatic adenocarcinoma has never been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old Japanese male, with a history of early gastric cancer that had been completely treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection 26 years ago, was detected a single enlarged nodule along the common hepatic artery, No.8a LN, incidentally by computed tomography performed for monitoring of interstitial pneumonia. Endoscopic ultra-sound-guided fine needle aspiration revealed that this nodule was adenocarcinoma suggestive of metastasis, but other imaging studies, including upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, positron emission tomography, and ultrasonography did not detect any primary cancer. We have finally diagnosed as the LN metastasis of CUP and performed laparoscopic lymphadenectomy for this tumor. The tumor was approximately 5 cm in size, was in close proximity to the pancreas, and involved part of the right gastric artery and vein. LNs in the No.5 and No.8a areas, including this tumor, were dissected laparoscopically, and radical resection was achieved. The patient had no postoperative complication and was discharged on postoperative day 10. Immunohistopathological findings revealed that the tumor was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and different from the histology of gastric cancer resected 26 years ago, although the tumor was suggestive of gastrointestinal origin. Imaging studies performed 2 and 6 months after discharge also did not reveal a primary site. CONCLUSION We reported a case of solitary No.8a LN adenocarcinoma of CUP. For diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, radical resection is recommended for single enlarged intra-abdominal LN of CUP.

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to describe the technique of laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma and to present a review of current international studies on this topic.The first part describes and documents a standard laparoscopic gastrectomy for carcinoma. In the second part, after an EMBASE and PubMed search, a total of 123 quality-relevant randomised (RCT) and non-randomised (non-RCT) studies on laparoscopic gastrectomy are identified from a primary total of 3,042 hits by systematic narrowing. The study results are then summarised conclusively for the target criteria of feasibility, outcome, oncological quality, morbidity and mortality.Both, laparoscopic subtotal resection for distal gastric carcinomas and laparoscopic gastrectomy can now be performed safely and with few complications. In a recent literature review of a total of 15 RCTs with 5,576 patients (laparoscopic 2,793 vs. open 2,756), there were no significant differences in terms of feasibility, intraoperative outcome and oncological quality (R0 and lymph node harvest). Surgical morbidity and mortality were comparable. Patients after laparoscopic surgery showed a significantly faster early postoperative recovery with a lower overall morbidity. In contrast, the operating time was significantly longer - by a mean of 45 min - compared to the open technique. The advantages of the laparoscopic technique were equally evident in studies on early gastric carcinoma and advanced carcinomas (>T2).Laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma is safe to perform and shows better early postoperative recovery. Complication rates, morbidity and mortality as well as long-term oncological results are comparable with open surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to investigate real-world surgical outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for advanced gastric cancer using Korean Gastric Cancer Association (KGCA)-led nationwide data. MATERIALS AND METHODS A nationwide survey of patients who underwent surgical treatment for gastric cancer in 2019 was conducted by the KGCA. A total of 14,076 patients from 68 institutions underwent surgery, and 4,953 patients diagnosed with pathological stages IB-III gastric cancer were included. Among them, 1,689 patients who underwent MIS (MIS group) and 1,689 who underwent the open approach (open group) were matched using propensity score in a 1:1 ratio. Surgical outcomes were compared, and multivariate analysis was performed to identify the independent factors for overall morbidity. RESULTS The MIS group had a lower proportion of D2 lymphadenectomy, total omentectomy, and combined resection. However, the number of harvested lymph nodes was higher in the MIS group. Better surgical outcomes, including less blood loss and shorter hospital stay, were observed in the MIS group, and the overall morbidity rate was significantly lower in the MIS group (17.5% vs. 21.9%, P=0.001). The mortality rates did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. In the multivariate analysis, the minimally invasive approach was a significant protective factor against overall morbidity (odds ratio, 0.799; P=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Based on the Korean nationwide data, MIS for stage IB-III gastric cancer had better short-term outcomes than the open approach, including lower rates of wound complications, intra-abdominal abscesses, and cardiac problems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) requires a long learning curve because of the complicated surgical procedures. Infrapyloric (No. 6) lymph node dissection (LND) is one of the difficult procedures in LG, especially for trainees. This study investigated the impact of the prediction of the difficulty of No. 6 LND. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative computed tomography (CT) images and individual operative video records of 57 patients who underwent LG with No. 6 LND to define and predict the No. 6 LND difficulty. To evaluate whether prediction of the difficulty of No. 6 LND could improve surgical outcomes, 48 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy were assessed (30 patients without prediction by a qualified surgeon and 18 patients with prediction by a trainee). RESULTS The anatomical characteristic that LND required > 2 cm of dissection along the right gastroepiploic vein was defined as difficulty of No. 6 LND. Of the 57 LG patients, difficulty was identified intraoperatively in 21 patients (36.8%). Among the several evaluated anatomical parameters, the length between the right gastroepiploic vein and the right gastroepiploic artery in the maximum intensity projection in contrast-enhanced CT images was significantly correlated with the intraoperative difficulty of No. 6 LND (p < 0.0001). Surgical outcomes, namely intraoperative minor bleeding, postoperative pancreatic fistula, and drain amylase concentration were not significantly different between LG performed by a trainee with prediction compared with that by a specialist without prediction. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative evaluation of the difficulty of No. 6 LND is useful for trainees, to improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with T1-3N0M0 gastric cancer (GC) who undergo radical gastrectomy maintain a high recurrence rate. The free cancer cells in the mesogastric adipose connective tissue (Metastasis V) maybe the reason for recurrence in these individuals. We aimed to evaluate whether D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastrium excision (D2 + CME) was superior to D2 lymphadenectomy with regard to safety and oncological efficacy for T1-3N0M0 GC. METHODS Patients with T1-3N0M0 GC who underwent radical resection from January 2014 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed; there were 323 patients, of whom 185 were in the D2 + CME group and 138 in the D2 group. The primary endpoint was 5-year disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary endpoints include the 5-year overall survival (OS), recurrence pattern, morbidity, mortality, and surgical outcomes. RESULTS D2 + CME was associated with less intraoperative bleeding loss, a greater number of lymph nodes harvested, and less time to first postoperative flatus, but the postoperative morbidity was similar. The 5-year DFS was 95.6% (95% CI 92.7-98.5%) and 90.4% (95% CI 85.5-95.3%) in the D2 + CME group and the D2 group, respectively, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.455 (95% CI 0.188-1.097; p = 0.071). In terms of recurrence patterns, local recurrence was more prone to occur in the D2 group (p = 0.031). Subgroup analysis indicated that for patients with T1b-3N0M0 GC, the 5-year DFS in the D2 + CME group was considerably greater than that in the D2 group (95.3% [95% CI 91.6-99.0%] vs. 87.6% [95% CI 80.7-94.5%], HR 0.369, 95% CI 0.138-0.983; log-rank p = 0.043). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic D2 + CME for T1-3N0M0 GC is safe and feasible. Furthermore, it not only reduces the local recurrence rate but also improves the 5-year DFS in cases of T1b-3N0M0 GC.

Abstract
Among all patients with gastric cancer, 40% admit to the hospitals due to cancer-related complications. The most common complications of gastric cancer are bleeding (22-80%), malignant gastric outlet obstruction (26-60%), and perforation (less than 5%). The main treatment methods for gastric cancer complicated by bleeding are various forms of endoscopic hemostasis, transarterial embolization and external beam radiotherapy. Surgical treatment is possible in case of ineffective management. However, surgical algorithm is not standardized. Malignant gastric outlet stenosis requires decompression: endoscopic stenting, palliative gastroenterostomy. Surgical treatment is also possible (gastrectomy, proximal or distal resection of the stomach). The main problem for patients with complicated gastric cancer is the lack of standardized algorithms and abundance of potential surgical techniques. The aim of our review is to systematize available data on the treatment of complicated gastric cancer and to standardize existing methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric surgery involves numerous surgical phases; however, its steps can be clearly defined. Deep learning-based surgical phase recognition can promote stylization of gastric surgery with applications in automatic surgical skill assessment. This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based surgical phase-recognition model using multicenter videos of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, and examine the feasibility of automatic surgical skill assessment using the developed model. METHODS Surgical videos from 20 hospitals were used. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was defined and annotated into nine phases and a deep learning-based image classification model was developed for phase recognition. We examined whether the developed model's output, including the number of frames in each phase and the adequacy of the surgical field development during the phase of supra-pancreatic lymphadenectomy, correlated with the manually assigned skill assessment score. RESULTS The overall accuracy of phase recognition was 88.8%. Regarding surgical skill assessment based on the number of frames during the phases of lymphadenectomy of the left greater curvature and reconstruction, the number of frames in the high-score group were significantly less than those in the low-score group (829 vs. 1,152, P < 0.01; 1,208 vs. 1,586, P = 0.01, respectively). The output score of the adequacy of the surgical field development, which is the developed model's output, was significantly higher in the high-score group than that in the low-score group (0.975 vs. 0.970, P = 0.04). CONCLUSION The developed model had high accuracy in phase-recognition tasks and has the potential for application in automatic surgical skill assessment systems.

Int Wound J 2023; 20:4262-4271. [PMID: 37496310 PMCID: PMC10681412 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023] Open
Abstract
This meta-analysis is intended to evaluate the effect of both robotic and open-cut operations on postoperative complications of stomach carcinoma. From the earliest date until June 2023, a full and systemic search has been carried out on four main databases with keywords extracted from 'Robot', 'Gastr' and 'Opene'. The ROBINS-I instrument has been applied to evaluate the risk of bias in nonrandomized controlled trials. In these 11 trials, a total of 16 095 patients had received surgical treatment for stomach cancer and all 11 trials were nonrandomized, controlled trials. Abdominal abscesses were reported in 5 trials, wound infections in 8 trials, haemorrhage in 7 trials, wound dehiscence in 2 trials and total postoperative complications in 4 trials. Meta-analyses revealed no statistically significantly different rates of postoperative abdominal abscesses among patients who had received robotic operations than in those who had received open surgical procedures (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.25, 3.36; p = 0.89). The incidence of bleeding after surgery was not significantly different from that in both groups (OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 0.69, 2.75; p = 0.37). Similarly, there was no significant difference between the two groups (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.52, 1.18; p = 0.24). No significant difference was found between the two groups (OR, 1. 28; 95% CI, 0.75, 2.21; p = 0.36). No significant difference was found between the two groups of patients who had received the robotic operation and those who had received the surgery after the operation (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.78, 1.66; p = 0.49). Generally speaking, this meta-analysis suggests that the use of robotics does not result in a reduction in certain postsurgical complications, including wound infections and abdominal abscesses. Thus, the use of a microinvasive robot for stomach carcinoma operation might not be better than that performed on the surgical site after the operation. This is a valuable guide for the surgeon to select the operative method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Application of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) to advanced gastric cancer is still controversial due to lack of sufficient surgical and oncological outcomes. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the feasibility of LG for advanced gastric cancer by multicenter prospective cohort study. METHODS A total of 98 patients with clinical stage II or III gastric cancer from 8 institutes were analyzed in this study. The primary endpoint was incidence of severe postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo classification grade Ⅲa or higher. RESULTS Sixty-six patients underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), 10 patients laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG), 21 patients laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG), and 1 patient received gastro-jejunostomy. Seven patients had positive lavage cytology (CY1) and R0 rate was 90.8%. Three patients (3.1%) required conversion to open surgery. The incidence of overall postoperative complications and severe postoperative complications were 17.3% and 9.2%, respectively, those were comparable to the data of open surgery for advanced gastric cancer previously published. By surgical procedure, the incidence of severe postoperative complications of LDG, LPG, and LTG were 4.6, 0, and 28.6% and the rate of severe anastomotic leakage of LDG, LPG, and LTG were 0, 0, and 9.5%, respectively. Total gastrectomy was an only independent risk factor of severe postoperative complications in LG for advanced gastric cancer (odds ratio 8.75; 95% confidence interval 1.70-56.69, P = .0092). DISCUSSION The incidence of severe postoperative complications after LG performed by qualified surgeons was acceptable even in cases of advanced gastric cancer; however, careful attention is required to adopt LTG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing or preventing postoperative morbidity in patients with gastric cancer (GC) is particularly important in perioperative treatment plans. AIM To identify risk factors for early postoperative complications of GC post-distal gastrectomy and to establish a nomogram prediction model. METHODS This retrospective study included 131 patients with GC who underwent distal gastrectomy at the Second Hospital of Shandong University between January 2019 and February 2023. The factors influencing the development of complications after distal gastrectomy in these patients were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Based on the results obtained, a predictive nomogram was established. The nomogram was validated using internal and external (n = 45) datasets. Its sensitivity and specificity were established by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Decision curve (DCA) analysis was used to determine its clinical benefit and ten-fold overfitting was used to establish its accuracy and stability. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension, diabetes, history of abdominal surgery, and perioperative blood transfusion were independent predictors of postoperative complications of distal gastrectomy. The modeling and validation sets showed that the area under the curve was 0.843 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.746-0.940] and 0.877 (95%CI: 0.719-1.000), the sensitivity was 0.762 and 0.778, respectively, and the specificity was 0.809 and 0.944, respectively, indicating that the model had good sensitivity and specificity. The C-indexes of the modeling and validation datasets were 0.843 (95%CI: 0.746-0.940) and 0.877 (95%CI: 0.719-1.000), respectively. The calibration curve (Hosmer Lemeshow test: χ2 = 7.33) showed that the model had good consistency. The results of the DCA analysis indicated that this model offered good clinical benefits. The accuracy of 10-fold cross-validation was 0.878, indicating that the model had good accuracy and stability. CONCLUSION The nomogram prediction model based on independent risk factors related to postoperative complications of distal gastrectomy can facilitate perioperative intervention for high-risk populations and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

Yu CD, Zhang K. Efficacy and safety of laparoscopic vs open gastrectomy after neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced gastric cancer. World J Clin Cases 2023; 11:7795-7805. [DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v11.i32.7795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) is widely accepted as a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of early gastric cancer. However, its role in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of LG vs open gastrectomy (OG) after NAT for the treatment of LAGC.
AIM To compare the efficacy and safety of LG vs OG after NAT for LAGC.
METHODS We conducted a prospective study of 76 patients with LAGC who underwent NAT followed by LG (n = 38) or OG (n = 38) between 2021 and 2023. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS), surgical complications, and quality of life (QOL).
RESULTS The two groups had comparable baseline characteristics, with a median follow-up period of 24 mo. The 3-year OS rates in the LG and OG groups were 68.4% and 60.5%, respectively (P = 0.42). The 3-year DFS rates in the LG and OG groups were 57.9% and 50.0%, respectively (P = 0.51). The LG group had significantly less blood loss (P < 0.001), a shorter hospital stay (P < 0.001), and a lower incidence of surgical site infection (P = 0.04) than the OG group. There were no significant differences in other surgical complications between the groups, including anastomotic leakage, intra-abdominal abscess, or wound dehiscence. The LG group had significantly better QOL scores than the OG group regarding physical functioning, role functioning, global health status, fatigue, pain, appetite loss, and body image at 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION LG after NAT is a viable and safe alternative to OG for the treatment of LAGC, with similar survival outcomes and superior short-term recovery and QOL. LG patients had less blood loss, shorter hospitalizations, and a lower incidence of surgical site infections than OG patients. Moreover, the LG group had better QOL scores in multiple domains 6 mo postoperatively. Therefore, LG should be considered a valid option for patients with LAGC who undergo NAT, particularly for those who prioritize postoperative recovery and QOL.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE It is largely unclear whether robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) is cost-effective for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of RDG, laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) for patients with LAGC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance baseline characteristics. A decision-analytic model was constructed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of RDG, LDG, and ODG. EXPOSURES RDG, LDG, and ODG. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and quality-adjusted life year (QALY). RESULTS This pooled analysis of two randomized controlled trials included 449 patients: 117, 254, and 78 patients in the RDG, LDG, and ODG groups, respectively. After IPTW, RDG demonstrated its priority in terms of less blood loss, postoperative length, and complication rate (all P < 0.05). RDG also showed higher QOL with more cost, representing an ICER of $85,739.73 per QALY and $42,189.53 per QALY compared to LDG and ODG, respectively. In probabilistic sensitivity analysis, RDG achieved the best cost-effectiveness for patients with LAGC only when the willingness-to-pay threshold was > $85,739.73 per QALY, which significantly exceeded 3 times Chinese per capita GDP. Furthermore, one of the most important factors was the indirect costs of robotic surgery in terms of the cost-effectiveness of RDG compared to that of LDG or ODG. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Although improved short-term outcomes and QOL were seen in patients underwent RDG, the economic burden should be considered in the clinical decision-making regarding robotic surgery use for patients with LAGC. Our findings may vary in different health care settings and affordability. Trial registration CLASS-01 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, CT01609309) and FUGES-011 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03313700).

Relationship between antithrombotic drugs and postoperative outcomes in patients with gastric cancer after gastrectomy: a propensity matching analysis. Gastric Cancer 2023; 26:833-842. [PMID: 37328674 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-023-01410-4] [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: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As there is no consensus on the impact of antithrombotic drugs on post-gastrectomy outcomes in gastric cancer patients, this study aimed to investigate the impact of antithrombotic drugs on postoperative outcomes in these patients after gastrectomy. METHODS Patients with Stage I-III primary gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy between April 2005 and May 2022 were included. We performed propensity score matching to adjust for patient background and compared bleeding complications. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with bleeding complications. RESULTS Of the 6798 patients, 310 (4.6%) were in the antithrombotic group and 6488 (95.4%) were in the non-antithrombotic group. Twenty-six patients (0.38%) experienced bleeding complications. After matching, the number of patients in each group was 300, with insignificant differences in any factor. A comparison of postoperative outcomes showed no difference in bleeding complications (P = 0.249). In the antithrombotic group, 39 (12.6%) continued drugs, and 271 (87.4%) discontinued them before surgery. After matching, there were 30 and 60 patients, respectively, with no differences in patient background. A comparison of postoperative outcomes showed no differences in bleeding complications (P = 0.551). In multivariate analysis, antithrombotic drug use and continuation of antiplatelet agents were not risk factors for bleeding complications. CONCLUSION Antithrombotic drugs and its continuation may not worsen bleeding complications in patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. Bleeding complications were rare, and further studies are needed on risk factors for bleeding complications in larger databases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the short-term surgical and long-term survival outcomes after robotic gastrectomy (RG) or laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for patients with Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 84 and 312 patients with Siewert type II/III AEG who underwent RG or LG between January 2005 and September 2016 in our center. We performed a 1:2 matched propensity score matching (PSM) analysis between the RG and LG group for clinical features to reduce confounding bias. Additionally, the long- and short-term outcomes between the RG and LG group were compared. RESULTS The clinicopathological characteristics of 246 patients (RG group: n = 82; LG group: n = 164) were well balanced after PSM. Patients in the RG group showed less estimated blood loss, less time to first flatus, less time to first ambulation, less drainage tube removed time, and retrieved more lymph nodes than the LG group. The overall complication rate was comparable between the RG and LG groups. The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 44.4% in the RG group and 43.7% in the LG group (p = 0.898). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 43.2% in the RG group and 43.2% in the LG group (p = 0.990). The RG and LG groups exhibited a similar recurrence rate and pattern within 5 years after surgery. CONCLUSION Robotic gastrectomy could be a feasible and safe option for patients with Siewert II/III AEG in terms of surgical and oncologic outcomes.

[PMID: 37408041 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01197-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Outcomes of laparoscopic surgery in advanced gastric cancer patients who received neoadjuvant therapy represent a controversial issue. We performed an updated meta-analysis to evaluate the perioperative and long-term survival outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) versus conventional open gastrectomy (OG) in this subset of patients. METHODS Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were comprehensively searched up to May 2023. The short-term and long-term outcomes of LG versus OG in advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy were evaluated. Effect sizes with 95% confidence intervals were always assessed using random-effects model. The prospective protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022359126). RESULTS Eighteen studies (2 randomized controlled trials and 16 cohort studies) involving 2096 patients were included. In total, 933 patients were treated with LG and 1163 patients were treated with OG. In perioperative outcomes, LG was associated with less estimated blood loss (MD = - 65.15; P < 0.0001), faster time to flatus (MD = - 0.56; P < 0.0001) and liquid intake (MD = - 0.42; P = 0.02), reduced hospital stay (MD = - 2.26; P < 0.0001), lower overall complication rate (OR = 0.70; P = 0.002) and lower minor complication rate (OR = 0.69; P = 0.006), while longer operative time (MD = 25.98; P < 0.0001). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of proximal margin, distal margin, R1/R2 resection rate, retrieved lymph nodes, time to remove gastric tube and drainage tube, major complications and other specific complications. In survival outcomes, LG and OG were not significantly different in overall survival, disease-free survival and recurrence-free survival. CONCLUSION LG can be a safe and feasible technique for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy. However, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to further validate the results of our study.

Anatomical Position of the Pancreas as a Risk Factor for Pancreatic Fistula after Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer. World J Surg 2023; 47:1744-1751. [PMID: 36964789 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-023-06972-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy is more frequently associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula than is open gastrectomy. We assumed that compression of the pancreas with various devices to obtain a proper operative view is associated with the higher incidence of PF in LG and that the extent of the compression differs depending on the anatomical position of the pancreas. The present study aimed to elucidate the correlation between the anatomical position of the pancreas and PF after LG for gastric cancer. METHODS Patients who underwent LG for gastric cancer from 2005 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Two anatomical parameters representing the height of the slope looking down the celiac artery from the top of the pancreas (P-A length) and the steepness of the slope (UP-CA angle) were measured in computed tomography sagittal projections. The correlation between PF and (1) P-A length, (2) UP-CA angle, and (3) other clinicopathological factors was analyzed using a logistic regression model. RESULTS Among 3485 patients, grade ≥ II PF was observed in 140 (4.0%) patients. The UP-CA angle [odds ratio (OR), 2.472; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.725-3.543; P < 0.001], a high BMI (OR 2.339; 95% CI 1.634-3.348; P < 0.001), and male sex (OR 2.602; 95% CI 1.590-4.257; P < 0.001) were independently correlated with grade ≥ II PF. CONCLUSIONS The present study identified a significant correlation between anatomical position of the pancreas and PF after LG. High BMI and male sex were also significantly correlated with PF after LG.

Zhu Z, Dai PL, Han S, Qiu E, Wang Y, Li Z. Complete remission in a patient with metastatic gastric cancer receiving tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy: a case report. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1147636. [PMID: 37234987 PMCID: PMC10206281 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1147636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The prognosis for patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is poor, with limited treatment options available due to the difficulty of resection. In recent years, chemotherapy and immunotherapy for AGC have shown promising efficacy. However, there is a controversy regarding the surgery of primary tumors and/or metastases in patients with stage IV gastric cancer after systematic therapy. Here, we present a 63-year-old retired female of AGC with supraclavicular metastasis with positive PD-L1 and tumor mutational burden-high (TMB-H). After receiving 8 cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) in combination with tislelizumab, the patient achieved complete remission (CR). No evidence of recurrence was identified during follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of AGC with supraclavicular metastasis who achieved CR after treatment with tislelizumab. The mechanism of CR was discussed by genomic and recent clinical studies. The results indicated that programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥5 may serve as a clinical indication and standard for chemo-immune combination therapy. In combination with other similar reports, patients with microsatellite instability-high/defective mismatch repair (MSI-H/dMMR), (TMB-H), and positive PD-L1 had better sensitivity to tislelizumab. The patient recovered successfully except for symptoms of gastrointestinal hemorrhage during treatment, which may be associated with the treatment cycle and age. Immunotherapy with tislelizumab has been well-established in the treatment of malignant melanoma, lung cancer, and clear-cell kidney cancer, but its efficacy and safety for esophageal and gastric cancers remain to be validated. The CR of our patient suggested the prospects of tislelizumab in the immunotherapy of gastric cancer. Additionally, a watch-and-wait (WW) method maybe offered for patients with AGC who achieved complete clinical remission (CCR) after immune combination therapy if the patient was older or in poor physical condition.

[PMID: 37160808 PMCID: PMC10338403 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10067-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y (R-Y) anastomoses have been widely used in distal gastrectomy, while the incidence of Roux stasis syndrome remains common. Uncut R-Y anastomosis maintains the neuromuscular continuity, thus avoiding the ectopic pacemaker of the Roux limb and reducing the occurrence of Roux stasis. However, retrospective studies of Uncut R-Y anastomosis remain scarce and randomized controlled trials have not been reported. METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the surgical safety, nutritional status, and postoperative quality of life (QOL) between uncut and classic Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction patients. Patients with Stage I gastric cancer were randomly enrolled and underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy followed by uncut or classic R-Y reconstruction. Body mass index and blood test were used to evaluate the nutritional status. QOL was evaluated using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QOL Questionnaire (STO22) and laboratory examinations at postoperative month (POM) 3, 6, 9, and 12. Computed tomography scanning was used to evaluate the skeletal muscle index (SMI) at POM 6 and 12. Endoscopy was performed at POM 12. RESULTS Operation time, blood loss, time to recovery, complication morbidities, and overall survival were similar between the two groups. Compared with the classic R-Y group, the uncut R-Y group displayed a significantly decreased QOL at POM 9, possibly due to loop recanalization, determined to be occupied 34.2% of the uncut R-Y group. Post-exclusion of recanalization, the QOL was still higher in the classic R-Y group than in the uncut R-Y group, despite their hemoglobin and total protein levels being better than those in the classic R-Y group. Preoperative pre-albumin level and impaired fasting glycemia significantly correlated with the postoperative recanalization. CONCLUSION We found no significant benefit of uncut over classic R-Y reconstruction which challenges the superiority of the uncut R-Y reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Retrospectively analyzed the short- and long-term efficacy between laparoscopic D2 lymphadenectomy plus regional complete mesogastrium excision (D2 + rCME) and traditional laparoscopic D2 in the treatment of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), in order to obtain more evidence for D2 + rCME gastrectomy. METHODS A total of 599 LAGC patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy from January 2014 to December 2019, including 367 cases in the D2 + rCME group and 232 cases in the D2 group. Intraoperative and postoperative clinicopathological parameters, postoperative complications and long-term survival in the two groups were statistically analyzed. RESULTS No significant differences in the positive rate of mesogastric tumor deposits, the number of positive lymph nodes and postoperative length of stay were found between the two groups (P > 0.05). In the D2 + rCME group, intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced (84.20 ± 57.64 ml vs. 148.47 ± 76.97 ml, P < 0.001), the time to first postoperative flatus and first liquid diet intake were significantly shortened (3[2-3] days vs. 3[3-3] days, P < 0.001; 7[7-8] days vs. 8[7-8] days, P < 0.001), and the number of lymph nodes dissected was greater (43.57 ± 16.52 pieces vs. 36.72 ± 13.83 pieces, P < 0.001). The incidence of complications did not significantly differ between the D2 + rCME group (20.7%) and D2 group (19.4%) (P > 0.05). Although there was no statistically difference in 3-year OS and DFS between the two groups. However, the trend was better in D2 + rCME group. In subgroup analysis, patients with positive tumor deposits (TDs) in the D2 + rCME group had significantly better 3-year DFS compared With D2 group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic D2 + rCME is safe and feasible for the treatment of LAGC and is characterized by less bleeding, greater lymph node dissection and rapid recovery, without increasing postoperative complications. D2 + rCME group showed a better trend of long-term efficacy, especially significant beneficial for LAGC patients who with positive TDs.

Abstract
Importance Evidence of implementation of laparoscopic gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer is currently insufficient, as the primary end point in previous prospective studies was evaluated at a median follow-up time of 3 years. More robust evidence is necessary to verify noninferiority of laparoscopic gastrectomy. Objective To compare 5-year survival outcomes between laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) with D2 lymph node dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter, open-label, noninferiority, prospective randomized clinical trial. Between November 26, 2009, and July 29, 2016, eligible patients with histologically proven gastric carcinoma from 37 institutes in Japan were enrolled. Two interim analyses and final analysis were performed in October 2014, May 2018, and November 2021, respectively. Interventions Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either the ODG or LADG group. The procedures were performed exclusively by qualified surgeons. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was 5-year relapse-free survival, and the noninferiority margin for the hazard ratio (HR) was set at 1.31. The secondary end points were 5-year overall survival and safety. Results A total of 502 patients were included in the full-analysis set: 254 (50.6%) in the ODG group and 248 (49.4%) in the LADG group. Patients in the ODG group had a median (IQR) age of 67 (33-80) years and included 168 males (66.1%). Patients in the LADG group had a median (IQR) age of 64 (34-80) years and included 169 males (68.1%). No significant differences were observed in severe postoperative complications between the 2 groups in the safety analysis (ODG, 4.7% [11 of 233] vs LADG, 3.5% [8 of 227]; P = .64). The median (IQR) follow-up for all patients after randomization was 67.9 (60.3-92.0) months. The 5-year relapse-free survival was 73.9% (95% CI, 68.7%-79.5%) and 75.7% (95% CI, 70.5%-81.2%) for the ODG and LADG groups, respectively, and the HR was 0.96 (90% CI, 0.72-1.26; noninferiority 1-sided P = .03). Further, no significant difference was observed in overall survival time between the 2 groups, and the HR was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.57-1.21; P = .34). The pattern of recurrence was similar between the 2 groups. Conclusions and Relevance Results of this study show that on the basis of 5-year follow-up data, LADG with D2 lymph node dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer, when performed by qualified surgeons, was proved noninferior to ODG. This laparoscopic approach could become a standard treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer. Trial Registration UMIN Clinical Trial Registry: UMIN000003420.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent gastrectomy for LAGC (cT2-4aN+M0) after NACT from January 2015 to December 2019. The patients were divided into a LG group and an open gastrectomy (OG) group. The short- and long-term outcomes in both groups were examined following propensity score matching. RESULTS We retrospectively reviewed 288 patients with LAGC who underwent gastrectomy following NACT. Of these 288 patients, 218 were enrolled; after 1:1 propensity score matching, each group comprised 81 patients. The LG group had significantly lower estimated blood loss than the OG group [80 (50-110) vs. 280 (210-320) mL, P < 0.001) but a longer operation time [205 (186.5-222.5) vs. 182 (170-190) min, P < 0.001], a lower postoperative complication rate (24.7% vs. 42.0%, P = 0.002), and a shorter postoperative hospitalization period [8 (7-10) vs. 10 (8-11.5) days, P = 0.001]. Subgroup analysis revealed that patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy had a lower rate of postoperative complications than patients in the OG group (18.8% vs. 38.6%, P = 0.034); however, such a pattern was not seen in patients who underwent total gastrectomy (32.3% vs. 45.9%, P = 0.251). The 3-year matched cohort analysis showed no significant difference in overall survival or recurrence-free survival (log-rank P = 0.816 and P = 0.726, respectively) (71.3% and 65.0% in OG vs. 69.1% and 61.7% in LG, respectively). CONCLUSION In the short term, LG following NACT is safer and more effective than OG. However, the long-term results are comparable.

Pancreatic thickness as a predictor of postoperative pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy. Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-10021-0. [PMID: 36997651 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10021-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite technical advances in minimally invasive gastrectomy for gastric cancer, an increased incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) has been reported. POPF can cause infectious and bleeding complications, which could lead to surgery-related death; therefore, reduction of the post-gastrectomy POPF risk is crucial. This study aimed to investigate the importance of pancreatic anatomy as a predictor of POPF in patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy. METHODS Data were collected from 331 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The thickness of the pancreas anterior to the most ventral level of the splenic artery (TPS) was measured. The correlation between TPS and POPF incidence was investigated using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The cutoff value of TPS was 11.8 mm, which predicted a high drain amylase concentration on postoperative day 1, and patients were categorized into thin (Tn group) and thick TPS groups (Tk group). There was no significant difference in the background characteristics between the two groups, except for sex (P = 0.009) and body mass index (P < 0.001). The incidences of POPF grade B or higher (2% vs. 16%, P < 0.001), all postoperative complications of grade II or higher (12% vs. 28%, P = 0.004), and postoperative intra-abdominal infections of grade II or higher (4% vs. 17%, P = 0.001) were significantly higher in the Tk group. Multivariable analysis identified that high TPS was the only independent risk factor for grade B or higher POPF and grade II or higher postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications. CONCLUSIONS The TPS is a specific predictive factor for POPF and postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy. Careful pancreatic manipulation during suprapancreatic lymphadenectomy is necessary for patients with increased TPS (> 11.8 mm) to avoid postoperative complications.

Improved survival after laparoscopic compared to open gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer: a Swedish population-based cohort study. Gastric Cancer 2023; 26:467-477. [PMID: 36808262 PMCID: PMC10115725 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-023-01371-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy is increasingly used for the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer but concerns remain whether similar results can be obtained compared to open gastrectomy, especially in Western populations. This study compared the short-term postoperative, oncological and survival outcomes following laparoscopic versus open gastrectomy based on data from the Swedish National Register for Esophageal and Gastric Cancer. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery with curative intent for adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction Siewert type III from 2015 to 2020 were identified, and 622 patients with cT2-4aN0-3M0 tumors were included. The impact of surgical approach on short-term outcomes was assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Long-term survival was compared using multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS In total, 350 patients underwent open and 272 laparoscopic gastrectomy, of which 12.9% were converted to open surgery. The groups were similar regarding distribution of clinical disease stage (27.6% stage I, 46.0% stage II, and 26.4% stage III). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 52.7% of the patients. There was no difference in the rate of postoperative complications, but laparoscopic approach was associated with lower 90 day mortality (1.8 vs 4.9%, p = 0.043). The median number of resected lymph nodes was higher after laparoscopic surgery (32 vs 26, p < 0.001), while no difference was found in the rate of tumor-free resection margins. Better overall survival was observed after laparoscopic gastrectomy (HR 0.63, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic gastrectomy can be safely preformed for advanced gastric cancer and is associated with improved overall survival compared to open surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignancy worldwide and portends a grim prognosis due to a lack of appreciable improvement in 5-year survival. We aimed to analyze the available literature and summarize the current standards of surgical care for curative and palliative intent treatment of GC. METHODS We conducted a systematic search on the PubMed database for studies on the management of GC. RESULTS Endoscopic resection is an acceptable treatment option for T1a tumors. The role of optimal resection margin for GC remains unclear. D2 lymph node dissection remains the standard of care with splenectomy needed selectively for splenic hilum involvement. A distal pancreatic resection should be avoided. The advantage of bursectomy and omentectomy in GC surgery is not clear. Multi-visceral resection may be considered for locally advanced GC in carefully selected patients. Minimally invasive approaches are non-inferior to open surgery. Surgery should be abandoned prior even in metastatic GC within the frame of multimodal therapy approach. CONCLUSION Various trials have conclusively shown improved patient outcomes when well-established surgical standards are followed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the short- and long-term effect of laparoscopic total gastrectomy in D2 radical treatment combined with spleno-pancreatectomy under membrane anatomy. METHODS From June 2013 to June 2018, 70 patients with gastric cancer underwent total gastrectomy combined with spleno-pancreatectomy involving 37 cases in laparoscopy group and 33 cases in laparotomy group. The intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients in the two groups were compared and analyzed. RESULTS In the laparoscopy group, the operation time and the number of positive lymph node dissection was similar to the laparotomy group. Statistical difference was found in intraoperative bleeding [(79.19 ± 39.63)ml vs (214.39 ± 152.47)m1], the number of lymph node dissection [(47.27 ± 13.94) vs (35.45 ± 9.81)], the first time of aerofluxus [(2.92 ± 0.76)d vs (3.76 ± 1.09)d], the first fluid intake time [(7.49 ± 0.96)d vs (8.27 ± 1.91)d] and the postoperative hospital stay [(11.95 ± 1.90)d vs (15.39 ± 4.07)d] (P < 0.05), So the laparoscopy group was significantly superior to the laparotomy group. The incidences of postoperative complications in laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group were 35.13% and 27.27%, and the difference was not statistically significant. (P > 0.05). No stark difference in postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo Classification (P > 0.05). The K-M survival curve showed no significant difference in 3-year overall survival (OS) and 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The laparoscopic total gastrectomy in D2 radical treatment combined with spleno-pancreatectomy under membrane anatomy is feasible and safe, which can remove more perigastric lymph nodes. With advantages of less intraoperative blood loss and fast postoperative recovery, it cannot increase postoperative complications and long-term survival are comparable to open surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer is still a demanding operation because of technical difficulties, especially of intracorporeal esophago-jejunal anastomosis. METHODS We introduced a newly designed method of anvil placement of circular stapling devices (CS) for laparoscopic esophagojejunostomy (EJS). A small incision was made on the anterior wall of the stomach, from which the anvil was inserted into the stomach and proceeded to the thoracic esophagus. Then, the abdominal esophagus was transected by a linear stapler, and the anvil into the esophagus was drawn back to the esophageal stump by pulling out the cotton tape pre-attached to the anvil. Intracorporeal EJS by Roux-en-Y reconstruction was performed by CS inserted into the abdominal cavity from the umbilical wound. RESULTS A total of consecutive 200 gastric cancer patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy using this method. There was no operative mortality. Anastomotic complications occurred in 12 cases (6.0%): 9 cases of stenosis (4.5%) and 3 cases of bleedings (1.5%). Anastomotic leakage was not observed. As for non-anastomotic complications, there occurred 2 pulmonary complications (1.0%), 3 pancreatic leakages (1.5%), and 8 bowel obstructions due to internal hernia (4.0%). With a median follow-up period of 47.1 months, 5-year overall survival for assessable patients (n = 193) was 60.3% (95% CI 52.6-67.2). The total rate of peritoneal recurrence was 9.8%. CONCLUSION Our new method of anvil placement for laparoscopic EJS with CS is safe and feasible with favorable survival outcomes. It eliminates the need for suturing, and will promote the clinical application of laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. CLINICAL TRIALS UMIN000046119.

Comparison of short-term efficacy and safety between total robotic and total 3D laparoscopic distal radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol: a propensity score matching study. J Robot Surg 2023; 17:1151-1158. [PMID: 36630065 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-023-01528-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in gastrointestinal surgery has been widely accepted. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of ERAS in total robotic distal gastrectomy (TRDG) versus 3D total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (3D-TLDG) for gastric cancer. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 73 patients underwent TRDG and 163 patients who received 3D-TLDG. The propensity score was used for matching analysis according to a 1:1 ratio, so that there was no significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups. The short-term effect and safety of the two groups were compared. RESULTS The TRDG group had a less intraoperative bleeding (30.21 ± 13.78 vs. 41.44 ± 17.41 ml, P < 0.001), longer intraoperative preparation time (31.05 ± 4.93 vs. 15.48 ± 2.43 min, P < 0.001), shorter digestive tract reconstruction time (32.67 ± 4.41 vs. 39.78 ± 4.95 min, P < 0.001), shorter postoperative ambulation time (14.07 ± 8.97 vs. 17.49 ± 5.98 h, P = 0.007), shorter postoperative anal exhaust time (1.78 ± 0.79 vs. 2.18 ± 0.79 days, P = 0.003), shorter postoperative hospital stay (7.74 ± 3.15 vs. 9.97 ± 3.23 days, P < 0.001), lower postoperative pain score (P = 0.006) and higher hospitalization cost (89,907.15 ± 17,147.19 vs. 125,615.82 ± 11,900.80 RMB, P < 0.001) than the 3D-TLDG group. CONCLUSION TRDG and 3D-TLDG under ERAS protocol are safe and feasible. Compared with 3D-TLDG, the TRDG has better intraoperative bleeding control effect and greater advantages in digestive tract reconstruction. After the combination of ERAS protocol, TRDG also has certain advantages in the recovery process of patients after surgery.

Abstract
Clinical studies have established the safety and advantages of laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer; therefore, laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in clinical practice is increasing. We report the case of a 77-year-old patient with gastric cancer who was referred to our center for LG. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a type 3 tumor identified as adenocarcinoma on biopsy. Three-dimensional computed tomography-angiography revealed two left gastric arteries (LGAs) branching from the celiac trunk. By laparoscopically performing the outermost layer-oriented lymphadenectomy (OML-OL), the two LGAs were detected and appropriately divided. Subtotal gastrectomy was completed, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. The OML-OL was appropriate for LG in this situation. This case demonstrates the necessity of preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography-angiography with 1-mm slices and the importance of performing OML-OL.

Abstract
The sixth edition of the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines was completed in July 2021, incorporating new evidence that emerged after publication of the previous edition. It consists of a text-based "Treatments" part and a "Clinical Questions" part including recommendations and explanations for clinical questions. The treatments parts include a comprehensive description regarding surgery, endoscopic resection and chemotherapy for gastric cancer. The clinical question part is based on the literature search and evaluation by an independent systematic review team. Consequently, not only evidence for each therapeutic recommendation was clearly shown, but it also identified the research fields that require further evaluation to provide appropriate recommendations.

Abstract
Italian Research Group for Gastric Cancer (GIRCG), during the 2013 annual Consensus Conference to gastric cancer, stated that laparoscopic or robotic approach should be limited only to early gastric cancer (EGC) and no further guidelines were currently available. However, accumulated evidences, mainly from eastern experiences, have supported the application of minimally invasive surgery also for locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The aim of our study is to give a snapshot of current surgical propensity of expert Italian upper gastrointestinal surgeons in performing minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of gastric cancer in order to answer to the question if clinical practice overcome the recommendation. Experts in the field among the Italian Research Group for Gastric Cancer (GIRCG) were invited to join a web 30-item survey through a formal e-mail from January 1st, 2020, to June 31st, 2020. Responses were collected from 46 participants out of 100 upper gastrointestinal surgeons. Percentage of surgeons choosing a minimally invasive approach to treat early and advanced gastric cancer was similar. Additionally analyzing data from the centers involved, we obtained that the percentage of minimally invasive total and partial gastrectomies in advanced cases augmented with the increase of surgical procedures performed per year (p = 0.02 and p = 0.04 respectively). It is reasonable to assume that there is a widening of indications given by the current national guideline into clinical practice. Propensity of expert Italian upper gastrointestinal surgeons was to perform minimally invasive surgery not only for early but also for advanced gastric cancer. Of interest volume activity correlated with the propensity of surgeons to select a minimally invasive approach.

Safety and short-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for advanced gastric cancer after neoadjuvant immunotherapy: A retrospective cohort study. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1078196. [PMID: 36569865 PMCID: PMC9779926 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1078196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been increasingly used for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, the safety and the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy for patients with AGC after neoadjuvant immunotherapy (NAI) remain unknown. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the patients with AGC who underwent laparoscopic surgery after neoadjuvant therapy between 1 January 2019 and 31 October 2021. We further compared the differences in postoperative complications, overall response rate, adverse events, surgical parameters, and postoperative recovery between two cohorts: the NAI group (NAI plus chemotherapy) and the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) group. Multivariable regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors for the overall response rate. Results Overall, 80 patients were enrolled, of whom 30 cases were included in the NAI cohort and 50 were included in the NAC cohort. The overall rate of postoperative complications was 30.0% in both groups (p = 1.000). The overall response rate was 70.0% in the NAI cohort and 40% in the NAC cohort (p = 0.012). The adverse effects were found in 16 cases (53.3%) of the NAI cohort and 23 cases (46.0%) of the NAC cohort (p = 0.645). There was no statistical difference in intraoperative bleeding (50 ml vs. 50 ml, p = 0.983), operation time (320.9 min vs. 303.5 min, p = 0.382), dissected lymph node count (43.5 vs. 40.0, p = 0.364), first postoperative anal aerofluxus (3 days vs. 3 days, p = 0.091), first liquid diet (4 days vs. 5 days, p = 0.213), and postoperative length of stay in the hospital (8 days vs. 7 days, p = 0.508) between the two groups. NAI was estimated to be the independent protective factor [odds ratio (OR) 4.931, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.385-17.559), p = 0.014] for odds to overall response rate, whereas vessel invasion was found to be the significant risk factor [OR 0.113, 95% CI (0.027-0.475), p = 0.003]. Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery after NAI combined with chemotherapy is a safe therapeutic choice for AGC and may bring better short-term outcomes due to a higher overall response rate.

Laparoscopic versus Open Total Gastrectomy for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: Short and Long-Term Results. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:8442-8455. [PMID: 36354725 PMCID: PMC9689079 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29110665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy for early gastric cancer is widely accepted and routinely performed. However, it is still debated whether the laparoscopic approach is a valid alternative to open gastrectomy in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The aim of this study is to compare short-and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic (LG) and open (OG) total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy in patients with AGC. METHODS A retrospective comparative study was conducted on patients who underwent LG and OG for ACG between January 2015 and December 2021. Primary endpoints were the following: recurrence rate, 3-year disease-free survival, 3-year and 5-year overall survival. Univariate and multivariate analysis was conducted to compare variables influencing outcomes and survival. RESULTS Ninety-two patients included: fifty-three OG and thirty-nine LG. No difference in morbidity and mortality. LG was associated with lower recurrence rates (OG 22.6% versus LG 12.8%, p = 0.048). No differences in 3-year and 5-year overall survival; 3-year disease-free survival was improved in the LG group on the univariate analysis but not after the multivariate one. LG was associated with longer operative time, lower blood loss and shorter hospital stay. Lymph node yield was higher in LG. CONCLUSION LG for AGC seems to provide satisfactory clinical and oncological outcomes in medium volume centers, improved postoperative results and possibly lower recurrence rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer in the West have been poorly investigated. The aim of the present study was to compare survival outcomes in patients undergoing curative-intent laparoscopic and open gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer in several centres belonging to the Italian Research Group for Gastric Cancer. METHODS Data of patients operated between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively analysed. Propensity Score Matching was performed to balance baseline characteristics of patients undergoing laparoscopic and open gastrectomy. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival. Secondary endpoints were 3-year disease-free survival and short-term outcomes. Multivariable regression analyses for survival were conducted. RESULTS Data were retrieved from 20 centres. Of the 717 patients included, 438 patients were correctly matched, 219 per group. The 3-year overall survival was 73.6% and 68.7% in the laparoscopic and open group, respectively (p = 0.40). When compared with open gastrectomy, laparoscopic gastrectomy showed comparable 3-year disease-free survival (62.8%, vs 58.9%, p = 0.40), higher rate of return to intended oncologic treatment (56.9% vs 40.2%, p = 0.001), similar 30-day morbidity/mortality. Prognostic factors for survival were ASA Score ≥ 3, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥ 5, lymph node ratio ≥ 0.15, p/ypTNM Stage III and return to intended oncologic treatment. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer offers similar rates of survival when compared to open gastrectomy, with higher rates of return to intended oncologic treatment. ASA score, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, lymph node ratio, return to intended oncologic treatment and p/ypTNM Stage, but not surgical approach, are prognostic factors for survival.

Abstract
As with every human malignancy, the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of patients with gastric cancer have undergone enormous evidence-based change over the last 50 years, largely as a result of increasingly rapid developments in technology and science. Some of the changes in clinical practice have derived from prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs), whereas others have come from study of meticulously maintained prospective databases, which define the disease's natural history over time, and occasionally from in-depth analysis of a single patient with an unexpectedly good or poor outcome. Herein we summarize the more important changes in gastric cancer management and the data supporting those changes.

Comparison of clinical safety and feasibility between reduced-port laparoscopic radical gastrectomy and conventional laparoscopic radical gastrectomy: A retrospective study. Front Surg 2022; 9:995194. [PMID: 36248360 PMCID: PMC9554253 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.995194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BackgroundTraditional open gastric cancer surgery has evolved from porous to reduced-hole, single-hole, or even natural cavity surgery to laparoscopic surgery, due to the continuous development of minimally invasive concepts and medical technologies, as well as awareness for the concept of rapid recovery. Conventional laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is quite mature in age at the moment, but how to progress to minimally invasive surgery without increasing the difficulty of surgery while ensuring clinical safety and feasibility is worth further investigation. Therefore, the clinical safety and feasibility of reduced port laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were assessed in this study.MethodsInformation on the clinical data of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastric cancer surgery in a single centre between May 2020 and May 2022 was collected, and a total of 232 patients were included in this study according to the study protocol design. The clinical data of 232 patients with gastric cancer treated by two different surgical methods, namely, reduced port laparoscopic surgery (RPLS) or conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS), were retrospectively analysed. The intraoperative indices, postoperative pathological indices, and short-term postoperative complications (within 30 days) of the two different surgical methods were evaluated, as well as the surgical methods’ feasibility and short-term postoperative recovery effect.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the general data of patients with RPLS and CLS (P > 0.05). Compared with CLSG, the operation time, digestive tract reconstruction time and lymph node dissection time of RPLSG are shorter. The intraoperative blood loss was less, and the incision was minimally invasive (P < 0.05). In the short-term postoperative effect, the level of white blood cell count on the first day, the time of getting out of bed, the time of removing drainage tube, the time of hospitalization and the VAS of pain on the first, third and fifth days after operation, RPLSG was obviously superior to CLSG (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between RPLSG and CLSG in terms of pathological indices (P > 0.05).ConclusionsThe treatment of gastric cancer with RPLS has good safety, feasibility and short-term postoperative effects, which is in line with the implementation of the modern concept of rapid rehabilitation surgery.

Abstract
We have developed a novel technique for safe and precise lymph-node dissection during robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer using monopolar curved scissors with soft coagulation. This technique is called the soft coagulation scissors technique. The technical details of this technique are as follows: a long bipolar grasper in the first arm and monopolar curved scissors in the third arm are primarily used for lymph-node dissection, maximizing the use of the robotic arm articulation. The monopolar curved scissors were energized in the soft coagulation mode of the Valleylab™ FT10 energy platform or in the forced coagulation mode of the ERBE VIO®dV with an effect 1/power limit of 15 W. This limit was confirmed to be equivalent to the soft coagulation mode in preliminary experiments, and a long bipolar grasper applied adequate tension to the surgical site without strongly grasping the tissue or applying traction. The peak temperatures of our devices were more than 100 °C lower than those of the Harmonic ACE and the Maryland bipolar forceps with the forced coagulation mode. Overall, 80 patients with gastric cancer, including 36 (45.0%) with stage III or IV cancers, underwent robotic distal gastrectomy with this technique. The median estimated blood loss was 10 g. There were only four surgical complications (5.0%): two paralytic ileus, one intra-abdominal abscess, and one duodenal stump leakage. Robotic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer is made possible by the soft coagulation scissors technique, which allows for safe and precise lymph-node dissection.

Abstract
Background Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a relatively rare condition, in which the thoracic and abdominal organs are reversed or mirrored from their normal positions. Here, we reported a case of a patient with SIT and advanced gastric cancer with lymph node metastasis who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG). Case presentation A 67-year-old man with SIT was clinically diagnosed with T3N2M0 advanced gastric cancer located in the middle gastric body. Three-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography angiogram revealed that the common hepatic artery originated from the superior mesenteric artery. The patient underwent LDG with D2 lymph node dissection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion This case report showed that LDG could be safely performed on a patient even under complex conditions, such as advanced gastric cancer with lymph node metastasis with SIT and vascular anomalies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic Billroth-I gastroduodenostomy using a delta-shaped anastomosis is safe and feasible. However, it is often difficult to perform in patients who have a short posterior wall of the duodenum. Thus, we have developed a new method named duodenal overlap functional anastomosis with linear stapler (DOLFIN). We hereby report the technical details of the new method and our preliminary experience performing it. METHODS After the completion of lymphadenectomy, the duodenum was transected craniocaudally with an endoscopic linear stapler. The hepatoduodenal mesentery was dissected approximately 4 cm along the duodenal bulb, and the anastomosis between the posterior wall of the stomach and the lesser curvature of the duodenum was created. The common entry hole was then transected using an endoscopic linear stapler, and the anastomosis was finally completed. RESULTS There were 36 patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) or robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) with B-I reconstruction using DOLFIN. There were no postoperative complications classified as C-D grade 3 or more and complications related to anastomosis, such as anastomotic leak or stenosis. CONCLUSIONS Our DOLFIN gastroduodenostomy can be performed safely. In addition, it results in good postoperative outcomes. A long-term comparative study is required to further evaluate the clinical usefulness of this method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous study has demonstrated the surgical advantages of D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastric excision (D2 + CME) in gastric cancer surgery. To further verify the safety of D2 + CME procedure, we conducted this large-scale, observational cohort study and applied propensity score matching (PSM) approach to compare D2 + CME with conventional D2 in terms of short-term outcomes in gastric cancer patients. METHODS Data on 855 patients from Tongji Hospital who underwent laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with R0 resection (496 in the conventional D2 cohort and 359 in the D2 + CME cohort) between Dec 12, 2013 and Dec 28, 2017 were retrieved from prospectively maintained clinical database. After PSM analysis at a 1:1 ratio, each cohort included 219-matched patients. Short-term outcomes, including surgical results, morbidity, and mortality within 30 days after the operation, were collected and analyzed. RESULTS In this large-scale, observational cohort study based on PSM analysis, the D2 + CME procedure showed less intra-laparoscopic blood loss, more lymph node harvest, and faster postoperative flatus than the conventional D2 procedure. However, both the overall and severe postoperative adverse events (Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥ III a) seemed comparable between two cohorts. CONCLUSION The present study showed that D2 + CME was associated with better short-term outcomes than conventional D2 dissection for patients with resectable gastric cancer.

Laparoscopic versus open surgery for locally advanced and metastatic gastric cancer complicated with bleeding and/or stenosis: short- and long-term outcomes. World J Surg Oncol 2022; 20:216. [PMID: 35752852 PMCID: PMC9233806 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-022-02674-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Laparoscopic surgery has justified its efficacy in the treatment of early gastric cancer. There are limited data indicating the eligibility of laparoscopic interventions in locally advanced gastric cancer. Publications describing the safety of laparoscopic techniques in the treatment of local and metastatic gastric cancer complicated by bleeding and stenosis are scarce. Methods The study included patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced and disseminated gastric cancer and complicated with bleeding and/or stenosis who underwent gastrectomy with vital indications between February 2012 and August 2018. Surgical and oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopic surgery) and open surgery (OS) were compared. Results In total, 127 patients (LS, n = 52; OS, n = 75) were analyzed. Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. Forty-four total gastrectomies with resection of the abdominal part of the esophagus, 63 distal subtotal (43 Billroth-I and 20 Billroth-II), and 19 proximal gastrectomies were performed. The median duration of surgery was significantly longer in the LS group, 253 min (interquartile range [IQR], 200–295) versus 210 min (IQR, 165–220) (p < 0.001), while median intraoperative blood loss in the LS group was significantly less, 180 ml (IQR, 146—214) versus 320 ml (IQR, 290–350), (p < 0.001). Early postoperative complications occurred in 35% in the LS group and in 45 % of patients in the OS group (p = 0.227). There was no difference in postoperative mortality rates between the groups (3 [6 %] versus 5 (7 %), p = 1.00). Median intensive care unit stay and median postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter after laparoscopy, 2 (IQR, 1–2) versus 4 (IQR, 3–4) days, and 8 (IQR, 7–9) versus 10 (IQR, 8–12) days, both p < 0.001. After laparoscopy, patients started adjuvant chemotherapy significantly earlier than those after open surgery, 20 vs. 28 days (p < 0.001). However, overall survival rates were similar between the group. Three-year overall survival was 24% in the LS group and 27% in the OS groups. Conclusions Despite the technical complexity, in patients with complicated locally advanced and metastatic gastric cancer, laparoscopic gastrectomies were associated with longer operation time, reduced intraoperative blood loss, shorter reconvalescence, and similar morbidity, mortality rates and long-term oncologic outcomes compared to conventional open surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreatic fistula is a severe complication after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG). We previously evaluated the pancreas-left gastric artery angle (PLA) as a risk indicator for developing a pancreatic fistula after LDG. This study evaluated the incidence of pancreatic fistula with robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) in comparison to LDG from the view of the PLA. MATERIALS AND METHODS An association between the PLA and the incidence of pancreatic fistula in 165 patients who underwent either RDG (n=45) or LDG (n=120) was investigated retrospectively. RESULTS RDG patients had significantly lower drain amylase values (postoperative day 2) than LDG patients. As opposed to LDG patients, drain amylase values were similar for patients with small (PLA <62 degrees) and large (PLA ≥62 degrees) PLA in RDG patients. CONCLUSION Robotic surgery may reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients with a small PLA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic/robotic distal gastrectomy (LDG/RDG) as a treatment for early gastric cancer has become increasingly and widely accepted for its minimal invasiveness and proportionate outcomes. Over the years, in addition to the LDG/RDG technique and the lymphadenectomy and gastrectomy procedures, various reconstruction methods have been developed and further improved upon. In particular, the number of minimally invasive intracorporeal anastomosis reconstruction techniques has been increasing. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 445 patients with gastric cancer who underwent reconstruction following LDG/RDG via either trapezoidal-shaped gastroduodenostomy (TAPESTRY; n=126) or delta-shaped anastomosis (DSA; n=319) at our hospital between April 2012 and May 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Short-term surgical outcomes, including the operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, and complications, were compared between the 2 groups. Anastomosis-related complications, namely leakage, bleeding, stricture, and delayed gastric emptying, were monitored and graded using the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS All operations were either performed or supervised by qualified surgeons. Patients' characteristics in the TAPESTRY group and the DSA group were biased in terms of the surgical approach, but they were well-balanced after propensity score matching. Overall anastomosis-related complications (Clavien-Dindo grade II or above) within 30 days after surgery in the TAPESTRY group were comparable with those in the DSA group, either all patients (1.5% vs. 5.0%, P=0.115) or after propensity score-matching analysis (2.1% vs. 6.5%, P=0.134). There were no records of reoperation or mortality during hospitalization in either group. CONCLUSIONS TAPESTRY was performed safely, with a low rate of anastomosis-related complications. These findings suggest that trapezoidal-shaped gastroduodenostomy could be a feasible option for reconstruction in patients undergoing LDG/RDG.
