Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Small bowel obstruction (SBO) accounts for a substantial proportion of emergency surgical admissions. Malignancy is a common cause of obstruction, either due to a primary tumour or intra-abdominal metastases. However, little is known regarding the current treatment or outcomes of patients with malignant SBO. This study aimed to characterise the treatment of malignant SBO and identify areas for potential improvement and compare overall survival of patients with malignant SBO to patients with non-malignant SBO. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a subgroup analysis of a multicentre observational study of patients admitted with SBO. Details regarding these patients' diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes up to 1-year after admission were recorded. The primary outcome was overall survival in patients with malignant SBO. RESULTS A total of 316 patients with small bowel obstruction were included, of whom 33 (10.4%) had malignant SBO. Out of the 33 patients with malignant SBO, 20 patients (60.6%) were treated with palliative intent although only 7 patients were seen by a palliative team during admission. Nutritional assessments were performed on 12 patients, and 11 of these patients received parenteral nutrition. 23 patients underwent surgery, with the most common surgical interventions being loop ileostomies (9 patients) and gastrointestinal bypasses (9 patients). 4 patients underwent right hemicolectomies, with a primary anastomosis formed and 1 patient had a right hemicolectomy with a terminal ileostomy. Median survival was 114 days, and no difference was seen in survival between patients treated with or without palliative intent. CONCLUSION Malignant SBO is associated with significant risks of short-term complications and a poor prognosis. Consideration should be given to the early involvement of senior decision-makers upon patient admission is essential for optimal management and setting expectation for a realistic outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adhesive small bowel obstruction (aSBO) is a common surgical problem, with some advocating for a more aggressive operative approach to avoid recurrence. Contemporary outcomes in a real-world setting were examined. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed using the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative database to identify adults admitted with aSBO, 2016-2020. Patients were stratified by the presence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and cancer history. Diagnoses usually requiring resection were excluded. Patients were categorized into four groups: non-operative, adhesiolysis, resection, and 'other' procedures. In-hospital mortality, major complications, and odds of undergoing resection were compared. RESULTS 58,976 patients were included. 50,000 (84.8%) underwent non-operative management. Adhesiolysis was the most common procedure performed (n = 4,990, 8.46%), followed by resection (n = 3,078, 5.22%). In-hospital mortality in the lysis and resection groups was 2.2% and 5.9% respectively. Non-IBD patients undergoing operation on the day of admission required intestinal resection 29.9% of the time. Adjusted odds of resection were highest for those with a prior aSBO episode (OR 1.29 95%CI 1.11-1.49), delay to operation ≥3 days (OR1.78 95%CI 1.58-1.99), and non-New York City (NYC) residents being treated at NYC hospitals (OR1.57 95%CI 1.19-2.07). CONCLUSION Adhesiolysis is currently the most common surgery for aSBO, however nearly one-third of patients will undergo a more extensive procedure, with an increased risk of mortality. Innovative therapies are needed to reduce the risk of resection.

Abstract
AMAÇ: İleus, bağırsak geçişinin tıkanması olarak tanımlanan ve bağırsaklarda mekanik obstrüksiyon veya paralitik nedenlere bağlı olarak gelişen klinik durumdur. İnce bağırsak obstrüksiyonları primer olarak cerrahi durumlar olarak anılsada, konservatif tedavi bazı hastalarda seçilen bir tedavi protokolüdür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ileus hastalarında HALP skorunun konservatif-cerrahi tedavi kararını, mortaliteyi ve hastanede kalış süresini belirlemede efektivitesini ve enflamasyonla ilişkili diğer parametrelere üstünlüğünü değerlendirmektir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya ileus tanısı alan hastalar dahil edildi. Yaş, cinsiyet, komorbiditeler, seçilen tedavi yöntemi (konservatif veya cerrahi), hastanede kalış süresi ve hastane içi mortalite kaydedildi. Biyokimya parametrelerinden beyaz kan hücresi, hemoglobin, trombosit, nötrofil, lenfosit, nötrofil, lenfosit, üre, kreatinin, aspartat aminotransferaz, bilirubin, albümin ve C-reaktif protein seviyeleri kaydedildi. HALP skoru hesaplandı ve mortalite, hastanede kalış süresi, konservatif ve cerrahi tedavi kararı arasındaki ilişki analiz edildi. BULGULAR: Çalışmaya toplam 286 hasta alındı. 245 (%85.7) hastada konservatif tedavi uygulandı. 262 (%91.6) hastada mortalite izlenmedi, 24'ünde (%8.4) mortalite izlendi. HALP skoru mortalite izlenmeyen hastalarda anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p=0.045). Mortalite izlenmeyen hastaların medyan albümin değeri mortalite izlenen hastalardan daha düşüktü (p<0.001). Mortalite izlenen hastaların yaş, üre, kreatinin, AST ve CRP değer-leri, izlenmeyenlere göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (sırasıyla, p=0.002, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001 ve p=0.001). Konservatif tedavi uygulanan hastaların HALP skoru, cerrahi tedavi uygulananlara göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p=0.003). Lenfosit değeri konservatif tedavi ile izlenen hastalarda anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p=0.027). Ameliyat olan hastalarda yaş, üre, kreatinin ve CRP skorları daha yüksekti (sırasıyla, p=0.007, p<0.001, 0.003 ve p<0.001). Tedavi yöntemi ve HALP skoru için ROC analizi yapılıp HALP skoru 28 olarak alındığında konservatif tedaviyi saptamada du-yarlılık 50.6%, özgüllük 78.0%, pozitif LR 2.3 ve negatif LR 0.63 olarak tespit edildi. (EAA 0,645 [%95 güven aralığı = 0.556-0.735) ]; p=0.003). SONUÇ: HALP skoru ileuslu hastalarda mortalite ve tedavi şeklinin belirlenmesinde faydalı olabilecek önemli bir skorlama sistemidir. HALP skoru-nun ileus tanılı hastaların yönetiminde, hem mortaliteyi azaltmada hem de uygun tedavi yöntemini belirlemede olumlu katkı sağlayacağı kanaatindeyiz.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous transesophageal gastrostomy (PTEG) as a palliative option in patients with malignant bowel obstructions (MBOs), and provide a comprehensive review of PTEG indications, placement technique, and short- and long-term outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight consecutive patients who underwent a PTEG procedure attempt from 2014 to 2022 were included in this analysis. Clinical indications, method of placement, technical and clinical success, adverse events, including procedure-related mortality, and effectiveness were assessed. Technical success was defined as placement of a PTEG. Clinical success was defined as improvement in clinical symptoms following PTEG placement. RESULTS Of the 38 patients who underwent PTEG, 19 (50%) were men and 19 (50%) were women (median age, 58 years; range, 21-75 years). Three (8%) PTEG placements were performed with the patients under moderate sedation, whereas the remainder (92%) were performed with the patients under general anesthesia. Technical success was achieved in 35 of the 38 (92%) patients. The mean catheter duration was 61 days (median, 29 days; range, 1-562 days), with 5 of the 35 patients requiring tube exchanges after initial placement. Moreover, 7 of the 35 patients with successful PTEG placement experienced an adverse event, including 1 case of non-procedure-related mortality. All patients with successful PTEG placement experienced improvement in clinical symptoms. CONCLUSIONS PTEG is an effective and safe option for patients with contraindications to traditional percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement in the setting of MBO. PTEG is an effective means of providing palliation and improving the quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main aim of this study is to analyze changes in the lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) level in blood serum over time and assess it as a potential risk factor for the development of SIRS, infectious and inflammatory complications, organ dysfunction and mortality in patients operated on colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS 90 CRC patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1-50 patients operated on for CRC without acute bowel obstruction (ABO); Group 2-40 patients operated on for CRC with ABO. To determine LBP by ELISA method venous blood was taken 1 h before surgery and 72 h after it (3rd day). RESULTS LBP level on the 3rd day after surgery was lower in CRC patients with SIRS, postoperative complications, organ dysfunction and in dead patients. With an LBP value on the 3rd day after surgery being at ≤821.95 ng/mL, the risk of SIRS occurrence is 3.5 times higher, that of the postoperative complications is 5.2 times higher and death is 12.9 times higher than with its higher level (OR 3.5, CI 1.46-8.4; OR 5.2, CI 1.80-15.12; OR 12.9, CI 1.54-108.21, respectively). If the LBP value on the 3rd day after surgery is ≤ 700.15 ng/mL, the risk of organ dysfunctions is 13.5 times higher than with its higher level (OR 13.5, CI 3.536-51.54). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that in the patients with CRC, the LBP can be used as a predictive criterion for the development of SIRS, postoperative infectious and inflammatory complications, organ dysfunction, and mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: The study aimed to evaluate some criteria for preoperative diagnosis of strangulation and significant indicators of the prognosis of short-term outcomes in patients with small bowel obstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: The results of the treatment of 123 patients aged 18-70 years with SBO were evaluated. RESULTS Results: All of these patients underwent emergency surgery, and 22 patients (17.9%) have died. It has been shown that four lab parameters (blood leukocytes, lactate, intestinal fatty acid-binding protein, and C-reactive protein levels) and one instrumental (involving the mesentery of the small intestine, free fluid in the abdomen during CT) with 80% probability or more were associated with the strangulation type of SBO (Λ=0.276, p = 0.000). Three lab indicators (WBC count, serum lactate, and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein levels) and two clinical parameters (abdominal perfusion pressure level and the presence of abdominal sepsis) were associated with early mortality after surgery (Λ=0.626, p = 0.000) with the same probability. Immediate results of the treatment in these patients depended on the development of intra-abdominal complications after surgery (P = 0.024) and the need for early reoperation (P = 0.006) as well as the development of cardiovascular dysfunction (P = 0.000) and respiratory dysfunction (P = 0.000). CONCLUSION Conclusions: There were confirmed parameters that were significantly associated with strangulation before surgery and short-term in-hospital mortality with an 80% probability or more. This made it possible to develop new mathematical models for the diagnosis of strangulated bowel obstruction and early postoperative mortality with an accuracy of 84.5% and 84.2%, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small-bowel obstruction (SBO) after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is a common complication associated with re-admission that may alter patients' outcomes. Our aim was to characterize and investigate the impact of bowel obstruction on patients' prognosis. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of patients with SBO after CRS/HIPEC (n = 392). We analyzed patients' demographics, operative and perioperative details, SBO re-admission data, and long-term oncological outcomes. RESULTS Out of 366 patients, 73 (19.9%) were re-admitted with SBO. The cause was adhesive in 42 (57.5%) and malignant (MBO) in 31 (42.5%). The median time to obstruction was 7.7 months (range, 0.5-60.9). Surgical intervention was required in 21/73 (28.7%) patients. Obstruction eventually resolved (spontaneous or by surgical intervention) in 56/73 (76.7%) patients. Univariant analysis identified intraperitoneal chemotherapy agents: mitomycin C (MMC) (HR 3.2, p = 0.003), cisplatin (HR 0.3, p = 0.03), and doxorubicin (HR 0.25, p = 0.018) to be associated with obstruction-free survival (OFS). Postoperative complications such as surgical site infection (SSI), (HR 2.2, p = 0.001) and collection (HR 2.07, p = 0.015) were associated with worse OFS. Multivariate analysis maintained MMC (HR 2.9, p = 0.006), SSI (HR 1.19, p = 0.001), and intra-abdominal collection (HR 2.19, p = 0.009) as independently associated with OFS. While disease-free survival was similar between the groups, overall survival (OS) was better in the non-obstruction group compared with the obstruction group (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS SBO after CRS/HIPEC is common and complex in management. Although conservative management was successful in most patients, surgery was required more frequently in patients with MBO. Patients with SBO demonstrate decreased survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Malignant small bowel obstruction (mSBO) is a common consequence of advanced malignancies. Surgical consultation is common, however data on the outcomes following an operation are lacking. We investigated a specific operative approach-intestinal bypass-to determine the outcomes associated with this intervention. METHODS Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of mSBO who underwent intestinal bypass between 2015 and 2021 were included. Isolated colonic obstruction was excluded as was gastric outlet obstruction. Perioperative and postoperative outcomes were measured, including complications, overall survival, return to oral intake, and return to intended oncologic therapy. Patients were additionally grouped as to whether the operation was performed as elective or as inpatient. RESULTS Overall, 55 patients were identified, with a mean age of 61.2 ± 14 years. The most common primary malignancy was colorectal cancer (65.5%) and 80% of patients had a preoperative diagnosis of metastatic disease. Small bowel to colon was the most common bypass procedure (51%). Severe complications occurred in 25.5% of patients with three in-hospital mortalities (5.5%). Survival rates at 30, 90, and 180 days were 91%, 80%, and 62%, respectively. The majority of patients were discharged to home (85.5%) and were tolerating an oral diet (74.6%). Twenty-seven patients (49.1%) returned to some form of oncologic treatment. CONCLUSIONS Patients with mSBO face a potentially terminal condition. In this study, approximately 75% of patients who underwent intestinal bypass were able to regain the ability to eat, and 49% returned to oncologic therapy. Although retrospective, these data suggest the approach is efficacious for palliation of this difficult sequela of advanced cancer.

Abstract
Fluoroscopic-guided stent placement has become an advantageous treatment option for diverse gastrointestinal disorders. In addition to palliative stent placement in patients with inoperable cancers, stenting has gradually expanded to other conditions, including as a bridge to surgery, as well as in patients' benign lesions and anastomotic strictures or leaks. This narrative review describes the indications, efficacy and safety of stent placement from the esophagus to the colon, including current recommendations, recent updates, and novel stents.

Abstract
Objectives A significant number of patients with colorectal cancer are presented with various conditions requiring surgery in an oncologically palliative setting. We performed this study to identify risk factors for early outcome after surgery to facilitate the decision-making process for therapy in a palliative disease. Methods We performed a retrospective chart review of 142 patients who underwent palliative surgery due to locally advanced, complicated, or advanced metastatic colorectal carcinoma between January 2010 and April 2018 at the "Elbland" Medical Center Riesa. We performed a logistic regression analysis of 43 factors to identify independent predictors for complications and mortality. Results Surgery included resections with primary anastomosis (n=31; 21.8%) or discontinuous resections with colostomy (n=38; 26.8%), internal bypasses (n=27; 19.0%) and stoma formation only (n=46; 32.4%). The median length of hospitalization was 12 days (2-53 days), in-hospital morbidity was 50.0% and the mortality rate was 18.3%. Independent risk factors of in-hospital morbidity were age (HR: 1.5, p=0.046) and various comorbidities of the patients [obesity (HR: 1.8, p=0.036), renal failure (HR: 1.6, p=0.040), diabetes (HR: 1.6, p=0.032), alcohol abuse (HR: 1.3, p=0.023)] as well as lung metastases (HR: 1.6, p=0.041). Arteriosclerosis (HR: 1.4; p=0.045) and arterial hypertension (HR: 1.4, p=0.042) were independent risk factors for medical complications in multivariate analysis. None of the analyzed factors predicted the surgical morbidity after the palliative procedures. Emergency surgery (HR: 10.2, p=0.019), intestinal obstruction (HR: 9.2, p=0.006) and ascites (HR: 5.0, p=0.034) were multivariate significant parameters of in-hospital mortality. Conclusions Palliatively treated patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery show high rates of morbidity and mortality after surgery. In this retrospective chart review, independent risk factors for morbidity and in-hospital mortality were identified that are similar to patients in curative care. An adequate selection of patients before palliative operation should lead to a better outcome after surgery. Especially in patients with intestinal obstruction and ascites scheduled for emergency surgery, every effort should be made to convey these patients to elective surgery by interventional therapy, such as a stent or minimally invasive stoma formation.

Abstract
Introduction: Patients with peritoneal metastasis frequently develop malignant bowel obstruction (MBO). Medical palliative management is preferred but often fails. Conversely, the role of palliative surgery remains unclear and debated. This study aims to identify patients who could benefit from invasive surgical interventions and factors associated with successful surgical palliation. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 98 consecutive patients who underwent palliative surgery for MBO over 5 years were reviewed. We evaluate as the primary outcome surgical failure to select patients who could benefit from palliative surgery, avoiding unnecessary surgery. A prognostic score was developed based on a logistic regression model to identify patients at risk of surgical failure. The score was evaluated for overall accuracy by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Palliative surgery was achieved in 76 (77.5%) patients. The variables that were found to be significant factors for surgical failure are recurrent disease (P = 0.015), absence of bowel obstruction (P < 0.001), absence of bowel distension (P < 0.001), and mesenteric involvement (P = 0.001) and retraction (P < 0.001). The absence of bowel distension (P = 0.046) and bowel obstruction (P = 0.012) emerged as independent predictors of surgical failure. Carcinomatosis level assessment for peritoneum score, based on these factors, was built to evaluate the risk of surgical failure. Conclusion: Our proposed scoring system might help select patients most likely to benefit from palliative surgery.

Abstract
Background: Hematological parameters, including albumin and hemoglobin (Hb) levels and lymphocyte counts, are low-cost tests that can be used to determine inflammation and nutritional status. Recent studies have shown that inflammation plays a very important role in the development of carcinogenesis. Materials and Methods: The authors aimed to investigate whether preoperative hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score can distinguish between benign and malignant causes in patients who are admitted to hospital and operated due to acute mechanical intestinal obstruction (AMIO). The patients were divided into two groups etiologically. Group 1 included the AMIO cases, which developed from benign causes, while Group II contained the AMIO cases, which developed as a result of malignancy. HALP score was calculated based on the latest preoperative Hb, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet values of patients. Results: HALP variable was an independent prognostic factor (p < 0.001) in determining malignancy (odds ratio = 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.882-0.930). Based on the results, when a cutoff value <23.94 was used for HALP score in receiver operating characteristic analysis, sensitivity for determining the malignancy was 85%, while specificity was 78% (Area under the curve [AUC] ± standard error = 0.86 ± 0.029; 95% CI = 0.80-0.91; p < 0.001). Conclusions: The HALP score could be a useful parameter for the clinician in distinguishing between AMIO due to benign and malignant origins.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common admission diagnosis. Prior research has shown improved length of stay and time to operation for SBO patients on surgical services (SS) compared to medical services (MS). This study evaluates the impact of admitting service on readmission and mortality. METHODS A 12-year retrospective cohort study of patients ≥18 years old, admitted with SBO to either a MS or SS within one health care system was performed. Clinicodemographic characteristics and admission details were extracted and reviewed. Statistical analyses performed included the Student's t-test, chi-square, and multivariable regression. RESULTS The study included 7921 patients, of which 3862 (48.8%) were admitted to a SS. No significant clinicodemographic differences existed between the groups except SS patients were more likely to have cancer (23.3% vs 15.2%, P < .0001) and to be within a 30-day post-operative period (9.4% vs 1.8%, P < .0001). On multivariable analysis, admission to a SS was associated with a decreased admission mortality (OR .70), 30-day mortality (OR .42), and 180-day mortality (OR .42). 30-day readmissions (OR .54) and 180-day readmission (OR .43) were also significantly decreased for SS patients. In patients requiring a procedure during admission, there was significantly decreased admission mortality (OR .684), 30-day mortality (OR .470), 180-day mortality (OR .431), 30-day readmission (OR .63), and 180-day readmission (OR .50). CONCLUSION In patients with SBO, admission to a SS confers decreased odds of readmission and mortality compared to MS. Future studies are needed to understand the management decisions potentially underlying these differences. These findings may help better define admission pathways and improve outcomes.

Postoperative complications and hospital costs following small bowel resection surgery. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0241020.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications after major gastrointestinal surgery are a major contributor to hospital costs. Thus, reducing postoperative complications is a key target for cost-containment strategies. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between postoperative complications and hospital costs following small bowel resection. METHODS Postoperative complications were recorded for 284 adult patients undergoing major small bowel resection surgery between January 2013 and June 2018. Complications were defined and graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. In-hospital cost of index admission was calculated using an activity-based costing methodology; it was reported in US dollars at 2019 rates. Regression modeling was used to investigate the relationships among a priori selected perioperative variables, complications, and costs. FINDINGS The overall complication prevalence was 81.6% (95% CI: 85.7-77.5). Most complications (69%) were minor, but 22.9% of patients developed a severe complication (Clavien-Dindo grades III or IV). The unadjusted median total hospital cost for patients with any complication was 70% higher than patients without complications (median [IQR] USD 19,659.64 [13,545.81-35,407.14] vs. 11,551.88 [8,849.46-15,329.87], P < 0.001). The development of 1, 2, 3, and ≥ 4 complications increased hospital costs by 11%, 41%, 50%, and 195%, respectively. Similarly, more severe complications incurred higher hospital costs (P < 0.001). After adjustments were made (for the Charlson Comorbidity Index, anemia, surgical urgency and technique, intraoperative fluid administration, blood transfusion, and hospital readmissions), a greater number and increased severity of complications were associated with a higher adjusted median hospital cost. Patients who experienced complications had an adjusted additional median cost of USD 4,187.10 (95% CI: 1,264.89-7,109.31, P = 0.005) compared to those without complications. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative complications are a key target for cost-containment strategies. Our findings demonstrate a high prevalence of postoperative complications following small bowel resection surgery and quantify their associated increase in hospital costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of patients presenting with malignant small bowel obstruction is a challenging paradigm. The aim of this systematic review was to examine different management strategies in these complex patients. The primary outcomes evaluated were the type of intervention, 30-day morbidity and mortality and overall survival rates. METHODS A systematic literature review of EMBase, Medline, PubMed and the Cochrane Library was performed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses for studies reporting on conservative and operative management of malignant small bowel obstruction. RESULTS Fifteen studies (n = 882 patients) reporting on outcomes for malignant small bowel obstruction were analysed. Outcomes measured were primarily survival and relief of obstructive symptoms. The median age ranged from 52 to 66 years. The most common cause of malignant small bowel obstruction was gynaecological in nature (56%), followed by colorectal (19%). Four hundred and eighty-six patients underwent primary surgical management and the remaining 396 patients were assigned to non-surgical intervention. Median overall survival in the operative studies ranged from 2.5 to 7.4 months compared with 0.9 to 1.9 months (P < 0.05). The 30-day mortality ranged from 13% to 28% in those who underwent surgical interventions versus 2% to 61% in the non-surgical group (P = 0.09). No significant difference in median survival in gastrointestinal (GI) and gynaecological malignancies was observed (4.3 versus 5.0 months, P = 0.12). Morbidity ranged from 21% to 85% in the surgical group and 12% to 29% in the percutaneous groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Surgical intervention in malignant small bowel obstruction is associated with significant morbidity, although it may improve survival in selected patients with gynaecological and colorectal malignancy. It is imperative that realistic goals and expectations are discussed with patients preoperatively.

Abstract
PURPOSE Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is common in advanced GI cancer, and MBO management, including drainage percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (dPEG), is palliative. How patients understand the goals of dPEG and its impact on disease is inadequately understood in the literature. Therefore, we analyzed these issues in patients with GI cancer. METHODS Demographics, clinical variables, and patient outcomes were abstracted from the medical record. Illness understanding and future expectations were retrieved from palliative care notes. We described additional treatment and outcomes after dPEG and estimated overall survival (OS). RESULTS From January 2015 to June 2017, 125 admitted patients with metastatic GI cancer underwent dPEG for MBO. Cancers were most commonly colorectal (34%) and pancreatic/ampullary (25%). During the dPEG admission, 32% (40 of 125) of patients had a palliative care consultation, and 22% (28 of 125) were asked about illness understanding and future expectations. All (28 of 28) reported good understanding of the advanced nature of their disease, but few were accurate about prognosis given their stage IV disease (10 of 28). Of the 117 (94%) discharged, 13% (15 of 117) received additional chemotherapy, which rarely prevented progression; half (63 of 117) had a do-not-resuscitate order; and most (101 of 117) were enrolled in hospice at death. Median time to death was 37 days (95% CI, 29 to 45 days); 6-month OS was 3.7% (95% CI, 1.2% to 8.4%). CONCLUSION dPEGs are placed close to end of life in patients with advanced GI cancer. A minority of patients receive additional chemotherapy post-dPEG. Many have adequate disease understanding, but chemotherapy benefit is low, and future expectations vary. This may be an opportunity for improved communication regarding palliative procedures in advanced cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart and lung transplant patients can develop conditions necessitating general surgery procedures. Their postoperative morbidity and mortality remain poorly characterized and limited to case series from select centers. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample (1998-2015) was used to identify 6433 heart and 3015 lung transplant patient admissions for general surgery procedures. For a comparator group, we identified 23,764,164 nontransplant patient admissions for the same procedures. Patient morbidity and mortality after general surgery were compared between transplant patients and nontransplant patients. Data were analyzed with frequency tables, χ 2 analysis, and a mixed-effects multivariate regression. RESULTS Overall mortality was higher and length of stay longer in the transplant group compared to the nontransplant group. Analysis revealed that hospital size and comorbidities were predictors of mortality for patients undergoing certain general surgery procedures. Transplant status alone did not predict mortality. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that heart and lung transplant patients, compared to nontransplant patients, have more complications and a higher length of stay after certain general surgery procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative sepsis is a major type of sepsis. Sociodemographic characteristics, incidence trends, surgical procedures, comorbidities, and organ system dysfunctions related to the disease burden of postoperative sepsis episodes are unclear. METHODS We analyzed epidemiological characteristics of postoperative sepsis based on the ICD-9-CM codes for the years 2002 to 2013 using the Longitudinal Health Insurance Databases of Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. RESULTS We identified 5,221 patients with postoperative sepsis and 338,279 patients without postoperative sepsis. The incidence of postoperative sepsis increased annually with a crude mean of 0.06% for patients aged 45-64 and 0.34% over 65 years. Patients with postoperative sepsis indicated a high risk associated with the characteristics, male sex (OR:1.375), aged 45-64 or ≥ 65 years (OR:2.639 and 5.862), low income (OR:1.390), aged township (OR:1.269), agricultural town (OR:1.266), and remote township (OR:1.205). Splenic surgery (OR:7.723), Chronic renal disease (OR:1.733), cardiovascular dysfunction (OR:2.441), and organ system dysfunctions had the highest risk of postoperative sepsis. CONCLUSION Risk of postoperative sepsis was highest among men, older, and low income. Patients with splenic surgery, chronic renal comorbidity, and cardiovascular system dysfunction exhibited the highest risk for postoperative sepsis. The evaluation of high-risk factors assists in reducing the disease burden.

Abstract
Small bowel obstruction is one of the most frequent emergencies in general surgery, commonly affecting elderly patients. Morbidity and mortality from small bowel obstruction in elderly is high. Significant progress has been made in the diagnosis and management of bowel obstruction in recent years. But little is known whether this progress has benefitted outcomes in elderly patients, particularly those who are frail or have a malignancy as cause of the obstruction, and when considering quality of life and functioning as outcomes. In this review, we discuss the specific challenges and needs of elderly in diagnosis and treatment of small bowel obstruction. We address quality of life aspects and explore how the concept of geriatric assessment can be utilized to improve decision-making and outcomes for elderly patients with a small bowel obstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of transjejunostomy stent placement in patients with malignant small-bowel obstructions (SBOs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three patients (age range, 20-81 years) who underwent transjejunostomy stent placement between March 2009 and December 2016 for one (n = 20) or two (n = 3) malignant SBOs from advanced abdominal and pelvic malignancies were included in our study. Percutaneous jejunostomy was created 30-100 cm upstream to malignant SBOs and was immediately followed by stent placement through the jejunostomy stoma during the same session. A retrospective analysis was conducted for technical success, bowel decompression, improvement of obstructive symptoms (3-point scale), improvement of food intake capacity (4-point scale), and procedure-related complications. RESULTS Stent placement was technically successful in 22 of 23 patients (95.7%). Bowel decompression was confirmed by enterography (n = 21) and CT (n = 16). Obstructive symptoms improved partially (n = 9) or completely (n = 13) within 2 weeks after the procedure. Food intake capacity improved by 3 points in one patient, 2 points in seven patients, and 1 point in 14 patients (p < 0.0001). Major complications (n = 3, 13.0%), including localized peritonitis (n = 2) and bowel perforation (n = 1), were successfully treated conservatively. CONCLUSION Transjejunostomy stent placement is an effective treatment in patients with malignant SBOs. It is technically feasible in most patients (95.7%) and provides substantial symptomatic improvement. Procedure-related complications are not rare but can be managed conservatively.

Acta Biomater 2017; 58:413-420. [PMID: 28576717 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2017.05.055] [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: 02/13/2017] [Revised: 04/20/2017] [Accepted: 05/30/2017] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Secure closure of the fascial layers after entry into the peritoneal cavity is crucial to prevent incisional hernia, yet appropriate purchase of the tissue can be challenging due to the proximity of the underlying protuberant bowel which may become punctured by the surgical needle or strangulated by the suture itself. Devices currently employed to provide visceral protection during abdominal closure, such as the metal malleable retractor and Glassman Visceral Retainer, are unable to provide complete protection as they must be removed prior to complete closure. A puncture resistant, biocompatible, and degradable matrix that can be left in place without need for removal would facilitate rapid and safe abdominal closure. We describe a novel elastomer (CC-DHA) that undergoes a rapid but controlled solid-to-liquid phase transition through the application of a destabilized carbonate cross-linked network. The elastomer is comprised of a polycarbonate cross-linked network of dihydroxyacetone, glycerol ethoxylate, and tri(ethylene glycol). The ketone functionality of the dihydroxyacetone facilitates hydrolytic cleavage of the carbonate linkages resulting in a rapidly degrading barrier that can be left in situ to facilitate abdominal fascial closure. Using a murine laparotomy model we demonstrated rapid dissolution and metabolism of the elastomer without evidence of toxicity or intraabdominal scarring. Furthermore, needle puncture and mechanical properties demonstrated the material to be both compliant and sufficiently puncture resistant. These unique characteristics make the biomaterial extraordinarily useful as a physical barrier to prevent inadvertent bowel injury during fascial closure, with the potential for wider application across a variety of medical and surgical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Fascial closure after abdominal surgery requires delicate maneuvers to prevent incisional hernia while minimizing risk for inadvertent bowel injury. We describe a novel biocompatible and biodegradable polycarbonate elastomer (CC-DHA) comprised of dihydroxyacetone, glycerol ethoxylate, and tri(ethylene glycol), for use as a rapidly degrading protective visceral barrier to aid in abdominal closure. Rapid polymer dissolution and metabolism was demonstrated using a murine laparotomy model without evidence of toxicity or intraabdominal scarring. Furthermore, mechanical studies showed the material to be sufficiently puncture resistant and compliant. Overall, this new biomaterial is extraordinary useful as a physical barrier to prevent inadvertent bowel injury during fascial closure, with the potential for wider application across a variety of medical and surgical applications.

Abstract
We present a case of male patient, who was referred to our department because of acute intestinal obstruction, which was the initial clinical symptom of primary lung cancer. The abdominal computed tomography (CT) prior to the emergency operation showed small intestinal obstruction and metastases to both adrenal glands. The patient underwent an emergency abdominal exploratory laparotomy, that confirmed small bowel obstruction and diffuse metastatic lesions along the entire small bowel length. During the operation we took a sample of one metastasis for pathological examination and we created an intestinal bypass to relieve small bowel obstruction. The pathologist suspected to primary lung cancer according to the immunohistochemical staining. The chest CT after the emergency operation showed a large primary tumor in the left upper pulmonary lobe.
