Prevention of delayed gastric emptying after right colectomy with extended lymphadenectomy: A randomized controlled trial. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e35255. [PMID: 37746998 PMCID: PMC10519464 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035255] [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: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying sometimes occurs after right colectomy with extended lymphadenectomy. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect on delayed gastric emptying after performing a fixation of the stomach to the retrogastric tissue to return the stomach to a physiological position after right colectomy with lymphadenectomy, including gastrocolic lymph nodes dissection for proximal transverse colon cancer. METHODS From January 2015 to December 2020, patients undergoing right colectomy with extensive lymphadenectomy for proximal transverse colon cancer were randomly assigned to either the gastropexy group or the conventional group. In the gastropexy group, the posterior wall of the stomach, at the level of the antrum, was sutured to the retrogastric tissue to prevent the abnormal shape that the gastric antrum acquires together with the duodeno-pancreatic complex, the shape that leads to an obstruction of the antrum region and to the delay in emptying the gastric contents. RESULTS Mean age, sex, comorbidities, and right colectomy procedures were similar in the 2 groups. Delayed gastric emptying developed in twelve patients in the conventional group (38.7%) versus 4 patients (12.1%) in the gastropexy group (P = .014). The total number of complications was higher in the conventional group (14 complications) than in the gastropexy group (7 complications). According to univariate analysis, gastropexy significantly lowered the risk of delayed gastric emptying (P = .014). Overall morbidity was 9.7% in the conventional group versus none in the gastropexy group. Postoperative hospitalization was longer in the conventional group (7.61 ± 3.26 days) than in the gastropexy group (6.24 ± 1.3 days; P = .006). CONCLUSION Gastropexy decreases the occurrence of delayed gastric emptying after right colectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for proximal transverse colon cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the high-risk factors for postoperative gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) in right colon cancer and to build a prediction nomogram for personalized prediction of PGS. METHODS Our study retrospectively analyzed 361 patients with right colon cancer who underwent right hemicolectomy at The First Hospital of Putian City in Fujian Province, China and who were hospitalized between January 2012 and July 2022. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the independent risk factors for PGS and to establish a nomogram model. Furthermore, discrimination, calibration, and clinical benefits were used to evaluate the model. RESULTS The multivariate logistic regression revealed that dissection of the subpyloric lymph nodes (No. 206 lymph node) (OR 5.242, P = 0.005), preoperative fasting blood glucose level (OR 3.708, P = 0.024), preoperative albumin level (OR 3.503, P = 0.020), and total operative time (OR 4.648, P = 0.014) were independent risk factors for PGS. Based on the above four factors, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and C-index of the nomogram were 0.831. The prediction nomogram's calibration curve was closer to the ideal diagonal, and the Hosmer‒Lemeshow test indicated that the nomogram fit well (P = 0.399). Moreover, the decision curve analysis revealed that the model can present better clinical benefits when the threshold probability was between 1 and 28%, and the internal validation verified the dependability of the model (C-index = 0.948). CONCLUSIONS A risk prediction nomogram based on perioperative factors provided the physician with a simple, visual, and efficient tool for the prediction and management of PGS in right colon cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the case of right-sided transverse colon cancer (RTCC) and hepatic flexure colon cancer (HFCC), there is a potential connection of lymph drainage between mesentery and greater omentum. However, most previous reports have been limited case series with No. 206 and No. 204 lymph node (LN) dissection for RTCC and HFCC. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The InCLART Study is a prospective observational study aiming to enrol 427 patients with RTCC and HFCC treated at 21 high-volume institutions in China. The prevalence of infrapyloric (No. 206) and greater curvature (No. 204) LN metastasis and short-term outcomes will be investigated in a consecutive series of patients with T2 or deeper invasion RTCC or HFCC, following the principle of complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation. Primary endpoints were performed to identify the prevalence of No. 206 and No. 204 LN metastasis. Secondary analyses will be used to estimate prognostic outcomes, intraoperative and postoperative complications, the consistency of preoperative evaluation and postoperative pathological results of LN metastasis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval for the study has been granted by the Ruijin Hospital Ethics Committee (approval number: 2019-081) and has been or will be approved successively by each participating centre's Research Ethics Board. The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT03936530; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03936530).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The hepatic flexure and transverse colon have a complex intermingled lymphovascular anatomy crossing between mesocolon and mesogastrium. Few studies have investigated the oncological relevance of metastatic infrapyloric and gastroepiploic lymph nodes (IGLN) from hepatic flexure and transverse colon tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for IGLN metastases, and the indications, surgical morbidities, and oncological outcome following extended lymphadenectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS According to the PRISMA statement, a systematic review on IGLN lymphadenectomy for colon cancer was conducted into PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. A critical appraisal of study was performed according to the Joanna Briggs Institute Tools. RESULTS Nine studies were included. IGLN metastases incidence ranged 0.7-22%. IGLN positivity for patients with metastatic mesocolic lymph nodes ranged 1.7-33.3%. Postoperative complication rate ranged 8.5-36.9%, mostly low grade according to Clavien-Dindo's classification. Postoperative mortality rate ranged 0-5.4% at 30-days. IGLN metastases were associated with advanced disease with a 5-year progression-free survival rate up to 33.9%. Two authors reported perineural invasion and N stage as risk factors, while another reported endoscopic obstruction, signet ring adenocarcinoma, CEA level ≥17 ng/ml, and M1 stage to be risk factors for IGLN involvement. Apart from one study, all other studies were of moderate/high quality. CONCLUSIONS Metastatic IGLNs are not uncommon and should be highly considered. IGLN metastases could be potentially associated with an aggressive disease. IGLN dissection is not associated with higher morbidity and mortality than standard CME. Preoperative risk factors of IGLN involvement could guide surgical indication for extended lymphadenectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To define the incidence of gastroepiploic lymph node (GLN) metastasis in patients with cancer of the transverse colon, including the hepatic flexure, and to identify the preoperative predictors of GLN involvement in a large-volume center in China. METHODS This retrospective monocentric cross-sectional study respected the STROBE statement. Of 3208 consecutive patients who underwent colon cancer resection, a total of 371 patients with cancer of the transverse colon including the hepatic flexure who underwent complete mesocolic excision and GLN resection in our center were retrospectively reviewed between November 2010 and November 2017. Logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of GLN metastasis. Endoscopic obstruction was defined as a luminal obstruction of the colon severe enough to prevent the colonoscope from passing beyond the tumor regardless of the presenting symptoms. RESULTS The GLN involvement rate was 4.0 (2.0-6.1)%. Patients who had GLN involvement had a significantly higher rate of endoscopic obstruction (P = 0.030), higher rate of signet ring adenocarcinoma or lymphovascular invasion (P < 0.05), higher preoperative CEA level (P = 0.037), more advanced pN stage (P < 0.001) and more advanced M stage (P = 0.003) than the patients without GLN involvement. ROC curve analyses showed that the cutoff value for CEA was 17.0 ng/ml (46.7% sensitivity, 84.3% specificity, P = 0.037) for the prediction of GLN metastasis. Multivariate analysis showed that endoscopic obstruction, signet ring adenocarcinoma, a CEA level ≥17 ng/ml and M1 stage were independently correlated with the GLN metastasis. CONCLUSION The incidence rate of GLN metastasis was low. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first to evaluate the preoperative predictors of GLN metastasis. Combinations of predictive factors may be useful for stratifying patients at high risk of GLN metastasis.
