Usefulness of Perioperative Nutritional Therapy with the Glutamine/Arginine/Calcium β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate Product in Esophageal Cancer Surgery: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. Nutrients 2024; 16:2126. [PMID: 38999874 PMCID: PMC11243618 DOI: 10.3390/nu16132126] [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: 06/15/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
A useful perioperative nutritional therapy for highly invasive esophageal cancer surgical cases needs to be developed. We clarified the usefulness of amino-acid-enriched nutritional therapy using glutamine (Gln)/arginine (Arg)/calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) products on the short-term postoperative outcomes of minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Altogether, 114 patients (Gln/Arg/HMB group) received perioperative nutritional therapy with Gln/Arg/HMB products, and we retrospectively investigated the change in nutritional parameters including skeletal muscle mass, occurrence of postoperative complications, and short-term postoperative outcomes in this group. The results were compared between the Gln/Arg/HMB and control groups (79 patients not receiving the Gln/Arg/HMB products). The incidence of all postoperative complications, sputum expectoration disorder, and pleural effusion of grade ≥ III was significantly lower in the Gln/Arg/HMB group (62.0% vs. 38.6%, p = 0.001; 44.3% vs. 28.1%, p = 0.020; 27.8% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.011, respectively). The psoas muscle area and postoperative body weight were significantly higher at 1 month and 1 year after surgery in the Gln/Arg/HMB group than in the control group (93.5% vs. 99.9%, p < 0.001; 92.0% vs. 95.4%, p = 0.006). Perioperative amino-acid-enriched nutritional therapy may improve the short-term postoperative outcomes, nutritional status, and skeletal muscle mass of esophageal cancer surgical patients.

Epidural versus patient-controlled intravenous analgesia on pain relief and recovery after laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: randomized clinical trial. BJS Open 2024; 8:zrad161. [PMID: 38242571 PMCID: PMC10798823 DOI: 10.1093/bjsopen/zrad161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidural analgesia (EDA) is a main modality for postoperative pain relief in major open abdominal surgery within the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol. However, it remains unclear whether EDA is an imperative modality in laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). This study examined non-inferiority of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) to EDA in terms of postoperative pain and recovery in patients who underwent LG. METHODS In this open-label, non-inferiority, parallel, individually randomized clinical trial, patients who underwent elective LG for gastric cancer were randomized 1:1 to receive either EDA or PCIA after surgery. The primary endpoint was pain score using the Numerical Rating Scale at rest 24 h after surgery, analysed both according to the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle and per protocol. The non-inferiority margin for pain score was set at 1. Secondary outcomes were postoperative parameters related to recovery and adverse events related to analgesia. RESULTS Between 3 July 2017 and 29 September 2020, 132 patients were randomized to receive either EDA (n = 66) or PCIA (n = 66). After exclusions, 64 patients were included in the EDA group and 65 patients in the PCIA group for the ITT analysis. Pain score at rest 24 h after surgery was 1.94 (s.d. 2.07) in the EDA group and 2.63 (s.d. 1.76) in the PCIA group (P = 0.043). PCIA was not non-inferior to EDA for the primary endpoint (difference 0.69, one side 95% c.i. 1.25, P = 0.184) in ITT analysis. Postoperative parameters related to recovery were similar between groups. More EDA patients (21 (32.8%) versus 1 (1.5%), P < 0.001) developed postoperative hypotension as an adverse event. CONCLUSIONS PCIA was not non-inferior to EDA in terms of early-phase pain relief after LG.Registration number: UMIN000027643 (https://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index-j.htm).

Surg Endosc 2023; 37:8245-8253.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy is a common procedure for early gastric cancer treatment. Improving postoperative pain control enhances patient recovery after surgery. The use of multimodal analgesia can potentially enhance the analgesic effect, minimize side effects, and change the postoperative management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacies of the use of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with regular acetaminophen (PCIA + Ace) and patient-controlled thoracic epidural analgesia (PCEA) for postoperative pain control. METHODS We retrospectively collected the data of 226 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) with delta-shaped anastomosis between 2016 and 2019. After 1:1 propensity-score matching, we compared 83 patients who used PCEA alone (PCEA group) with 83 patients who used PCIA + Ace (PCIA + Ace group). Postoperative pain was assessed using a numeric rating scale (NRS) with scores ranging from 0 to 10. An NRS score ≥ 4 was considered the threshold for additional intravenous rescue medication administration. RESULTS Although NRS scores at rest were comparable between the PCEA and PCIA + Ace groups, NRS scores of patients in the PCIA + Ace group during coughing or movement were significantly better than those of patients in the PCEA group on postoperative days 2 and 3. The frequency of additional rescue analgesic use was significantly lower in the PCIA + Ace group than in the PCEA group (1.1 vs. 2.7, respectively, p < 0.001). The rate of reduction or interruption of the patient-controlled analgesic dose was higher in the PCEA group than in the PCIA + Ace group (74.6% vs. 95.1%, respectively, p = 0.0002), mainly due to hypotension occurrence in the PCEA group. Physical recovery time, postoperative complication occurrence, and liver enzyme elevation incidence were not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSIONS PCIA + Ace can be safely applied without an increase in complications or deterioration in gastrointestinal function; moreover, PCIA + Ace use may provide better pain control than PCEA use in patients following LDG.

Upper thoracic spine puncture and caudal advance of an epidural catheter for adequate analgesia in a patient with breast cancer with chest and upper back pain: A case report.

Abstract
Patients with advanced cancer and metastasis frequently require analgesic treatments to relieve pain and maintain an acceptable quality of life. Continuous analgesic treatment with epidural drug infusion is one interventional approach to provide adequate pain relief. Most epidural analgesia procedures are performed with the catheter inserted in the lower thoracic or lumbar spine areas, which is then advanced in a cephalad direction to reach the level that requires analgesia. The present study reported on a patient with chest and upper back pain who failed oral oxycodone treatment. Epidural analgesia to target the T5 level was planned. However, a lower spinal puncture with cephalad advance of the catheter was not possible due to metastasis and compression in the T5-8 levels. Thoracic spine puncture was performed between the T1 and T2 vertebrae and the infusion catheter was advanced in a caudal direction to reach the T5 level. Successful pain relief and amelioration of clinical symptoms demonstrated that the method may be considered a feasible and safe approach to achieve adequate analgesia and improve the quality of life of patients with similar conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-traumatic emergency general surgery involves a heterogeneous population that may present with several underlying diseases. Timeous emergency surgical treatment should be supplemented with high-quality perioperative care, ideally performed by multidisciplinary teams trained to identify and handle complex postoperative courses. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled acute postoperative pain may result in significant complications. While pain management after elective surgery has been standardized in perioperative pathways, the traditional perioperative treatment of patients undergoing emergency surgery is often a haphazard practice. The present recommended pain management guidelines are for pain management after non-traumatic emergency surgical intervention. It is meant to provide clinicians a list of indications to prescribe the optimal analgesics even in the absence of a multidisciplinary pain team. MATERIAL AND METHODS An international expert panel discussed the different issues in subsequent rounds. Four international recognized scientific societies: World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), Global Alliance for Infection in Surgery (GAIS), Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia Intensive Care (SIAARTI), and American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), endorsed the project and approved the final manuscript. CONCLUSION Dealing with acute postoperative pain in the emergency abdominal surgery setting is complex, requires special attention, and should be multidisciplinary. Several tools are available, and their combination is mandatory whenever is possible. Analgesic approach to the various situations and conditions should be patient based and tailored according to procedure, pathology, age, response, and available expertise. A better understanding of the patho-mechanisms of postoperative pain for short- and long-term outcomes is necessary to improve prophylactic and treatment strategies.

[PMID: 35803751 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2022.05.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Poorly controlled postoperative pain is associated with increased morbidity, negatively affects quality of life and functional recovery, and is a risk factor for persistent pain and longer-term opioid use. Up to 10% of opioid-naĂŻve patients have persistent opioid use after many types of surgeries. Opioid-related side-effects and the opioid abuse epidemic emphasise the need for alternative, opioid-minimising, multimodal analgesic strategies, including neuraxial (epidural/intrathecal) techniques, truncal nerve blocks, and lidocaine infusions. The preference for minimally invasive surgical techniques has changed anaesthetic and analgesic requirements in abdominal surgery compared with open laparotomy, leading to a decline in popularity of epidural anaesthesia and an increasing interest in intrathecal morphine and truncal nerve blocks. Limited research exists on patient quality of recovery using specific analgesic techniques after intra-abdominal surgery. Poorly controlled postoperative pain after major abdominal surgery should be a research priority as it affects patient-centred short-term and long-term outcomes (including quality of life scores, return to function measurements, disability-free survival) and has broad community health and economic implications.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) initially started in the early 2000s as a series of protocols to improve the perioperative care of surgical patients. They aimed to increase patient satisfaction while reducing postoperative complications and postoperative length of stay. Despite these protocols being widely adopted in many fields of surgery, they are yet to be adopted in pancreatic transplantation: a high-risk surgery with often prolonged length of postoperative stay and high rate of complications. We have analysed the literature in pancreatic and transplantation surgery to identify the necessary preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative components of an ERAS pathway in pancreas transplantation.

The feasibility and safety in using acetaminophen with fentanyl for pain control after liver resection with regards to liver function: A prospective single-center pilot study in Japan. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2021; 28:297-303. [PMID: 33421327 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acetaminophen has been widely used as an analgesic agent after various types of surgery. However, acetaminophen may sometimes induce severe liver dysfunction, which can occasionally lead to the need for liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of administering acetaminophen to patients after liver resection (LR). PATIENTS AND METHODS The prospective study included 50 patients who underwent the following procedures: partial LR (n = 21) and more than one section LR (n = 29). Pain control was provided with continuous intravenous fentanyl and acetaminophen every 6 hours (within 2 days). We analyzed the liver function and blood concentration of acetaminophen at 1 and 3 days after LR using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and investigated the results of partial and more than one section LR, and also examined the degree of liver fibrosis. RESULTS The alanine transaminase level on postoperative days 1, 5, and 7 and total bilirubin on postoperative days 1 to 5 after LR in patients with more than one section LR was significantly higher than the levels in patients with partial resection. No patients developed liver failure. The blood concentration of acetaminophen by HPLC was significantly elevated in patients with resection of more than one section in comparison to the partial resection group. CONCLUSION The safety of acetaminophen was evaluated in Japanese patients who underwent different types of LR with different degrees of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetaminophen is a non-opioid analgesic commonly utilized for pain control after several types of surgical procedures. METHODS This scoping primary literature review provides recommendations for intravenous (IV) acetaminophen use based on type of surgery. RESULTS Intravenous acetaminophen has been widely studied for postoperative pain control and has been compared to other agents such as NSAIDs, opioids, oral/rectal acetaminophen, and placebo. Some of the procedures studied include abdominal, gynecologic, orthopedic, neurosurgical, cardiac, renal, and genitourinary surgeries. Results of these studies have been conflicting and largely have not shown consistent clinical benefit. CONCLUSION Overall, findings from this review did not support the notion that IV acetaminophen has significant efficacy for postoperative analgesia. Given the limited clinical benefit of IV acetaminophen, especially when compared to the oral or rectal formulations, use is generally not justifiable.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate lysophosphatidic acid receptor-2 (LPA2) and Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) protein expression in gastric adenocarcinoma and their correlation with patient clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. Material/Methods Fifty-one gastric adenocarcinoma tissue samples, 21 gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN) samples, and 13 normal gastric tissue samples were collected to test for LPA2 and KLF5 expression by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry assay. LPA2 and KLF5 positive expression rate between gastric adenocarcinoma, GIN, and normal gastric tissue were compared. The relationship between LPA2 expression, KLF5 expression, and patients’ clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis were evaluated. Results The positive expression rate of LPA2 and KLF5 were statistical different in gastric adenocarcinoma, GIN, and normal gastric tissue (P<0.05). LPA2 positive expression was associated with tumor invasion depth, Lauren type, vascular invasion, local lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage (P<0.05). There was no correlation between LPA2 expression (hazard ratio [HR]=1.84, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.89–3.80, P>0.05), KLF5 expression (HR=1.13, 95% CI: 0.53–2.36, P>0.05), and gastric cancer patients’ overall survival. Conclusions LPA2 and KLF5 protein expressions were differently expressed in gastric adenocarcinoma, GIN, and normal gastric tissue, and differences were correlated with patients’ clinical characteristic. However, LPA2 and KLF5 expressions were not correlated with the patients’ prognosis.
