Risk factors for liver dysfunction and their clinical importance after gastric cancer surgery. Sci Rep 2024; 14:8076. [PMID: 38580718 PMCID: PMC10997756 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58644-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Postoperative hepatobiliary enzyme abnormalities often present as postoperative liver dysfunction in patients with gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to identify the risk factors for postoperative liver dysfunction and their clinical impact after GC surgery. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 124 patients with GC who underwent laparoscopic or robotic surgery at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine between 2017 and 2019. Twenty (16.1%) patients with GC developed postoperative liver dysfunction (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 ≥ Grade 3). Univariate analyses identified robotic surgery as a risk factor for postoperative liver dysfunction (P = 0.005). There was no correlation between the postoperative liver dysfunction status and postoperative complications or postoperative hospital stays. Patients with postoperative liver dysfunction did not have significantly worse overall survival (P = 0.296) or recurrence-free survival (P = 0.565) than those without postoperative liver dysfunction. Robotic surgery is a risk factor for postoperative liver dysfunction; however, postoperative liver dysfunction does not affect short or long-term outcomes.

CT characterization of retractor related liver injuries after pancreaticoduodenectomy: Retrospective analysis of a single institution experience. Clin Imaging 2023; 99:53-59. [PMID: 37116262 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2023.04.006] [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: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/30/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Retractor related liver injuries (RRLI) are reported after upper gastrointestinal tract surgeries; most commonly laparoscopic cholecystectomy and gastric surgeries. The aim of this study was to characterize the incidence, identification, type, severity, clinical features and risk factors for RRLI after open and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS A 6-year retrospective study of 230 patients was performed. Clinical data was extracted from the electronic medical record. Post-operative imaging was reviewed and graded using the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) liver injury scale. RESULTS 109 patients met eligibility criteria. RRLI occurred in 23/109 (21.1%), with a higher incidence in the robotic/combinedapproach (4/9) compared with open (19/100). Most common injury was an intraparenchymal hematoma (56.5%), grade II (78.3%), located in segments II/III (77%). 39.1% of injuries were not reported on the CT interpretation. There was a statistically significant elevation of postoperative AST/ALT in the RRLI group [median AST 219.5 vs. 72.0 (p < 0.001), ALT 203.0 vs. 69.0 (p < 0.001)]. Trends toward lower preoperative platelet counts and longer operations were observed in the RRLI group. No significant difference in hospital length of stay or post-operative pain scores were noted. CONCLUSION RRLI occurred frequently after pancreaticoduodenectomy, however most injuries were low grade and the only clinical significance was a transient increase in transaminases. A trend toward higher injury rates was observed in robotic cases. In this population, RRLI was often unrecognized on postoperative imaging.

Surgical invasiveness and lymphadenectomy in robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy: A retrospective study with propensity-score matching. Am J Surg 2022; 224:1289-1294. [PMID: 35781376 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2022.06.014] [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: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus amongst comparative studies about the advantages of robotic over laparoscopic surgeries for gastric cancer (GC). We compared invasiveness and lymph node dissection between robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomies (RG and LG). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 215 consecutive patients with GC who underwent RG or LG with lymphadenectomy from January 2011-December 2020. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to control selection bias. RESULTS The RG group had less operative blood loss (P = 0.0005) and higher C-reactive protein levels on postoperative day 1 (P = 0.0006) than the LG group. When analyzing the specific sites of dissected lymph nodes, station groups of supra-pancreatic and lesser curvature areas accounted for this difference (P = 0.0073 and 0.0362, respectively). CONCLUSIONS RG demonstrated lesser intraoperative bleeding, less of a postoperative inflammatory response, and a higher proportion of lymph node removal than LG, suggesting that it is a better surgical and oncological procedure.
