Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate rate of complications with the use of prophylactic ureteral localization stents (PULSe) in gynecologic surgery. To compare the occurrence of complications according to the indication of surgery. METHODS This retrospective study included 1248 women who underwent 1275 different gynecologic surgeries with PULSe between 2007 and 2020. Data was collected regarding patient characteristics (age, sex, race, ethnicity, parity, previous pelvic surgery, creatinine), operative characteristics (trainee, guidewire use, indication) and complications in the first 30 days (ureteral injury, urinary tract complication, re-stenting, hydronephrosis, urinary tract infection (UTI), pyelonephritis, emergency room visit, re-admission). RESULTS Median age was 57 years (range: 18-96 years), most women were Caucasian (88.9%), and had previous pelvic surgery (77.7%). Indication of surgery was benign for 459 (36.0%), female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) for 545 (42.7%), and gynecologic oncology (gyn-onc) for 271 (21.3%). Disabling complications occurred rarely with 8 patients (0.6%) having a ≥III Clavien Dindo Grade (CDG), and only 1 (0.08%) ≥IV CDG. Statistically significant differences between benign, FPMRS, and gyn-onc groups were noted for re-stenting (0.9% vs. 0.0% vs. 1.1%, P=0.020), hydronephrosis (0.9% vs. 0.2% vs. 2.2%, P=0.014), UTI (4.6% vs. 9.4% vs. 7.0%, P=0.016), and re-admission (2.4% vs. 1.1% vs. 4.4%, P=0.014). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of 30-day CDG III and IV complications after PULSe placement is low. FPMRS patients had a higher rate of complicated UTI, however gyn- onc patients appear to be at overall higher risk of stent related complications when compared to surgeries for FPMRS or benign indications.

Longitudinal Outcomes of Malignant Ureteral Obstruction Secondary to Ovarian Cancer: Predictors of Resolution and the Role of Surgical Management. Urology 2024; 186:101-106. [PMID: 38350551 DOI: 10.1016/j.urology.2024.02.001] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the management of ovarian cancer (OCa) associated hydronephrosis (HN). Specifically, we aim to identify optimal management of HN in the acute setting, predictors of HN resolution, and the role of surgery (tumor debulking/(+/-)ureterolysis/hysterectomy). MATERIALS/METHODS The study cohort included OCa patients managed at our institution from 2004-2019 that developed OCa-associated HN. Initial HN management was recorded as none, retrograde ureteral stent (RUS) or percutaneous nephrostomy tube (PCN). Primary outcomes included (1) HN management failure, (2) HN management complications, and (3) HN resolution. Patient, cancer, and treatment predictors of outcomes were assessed using logistic regression and fine-Gray competing risk models. RESULTS Of 2580 OCa patients, 190 (7.4%) developed HN. HN was treated in 121; 90 (74.4%) with RUS, 31 (25.6%) with PCN. Complication rates were similar between PCN and RUS (83% vs 85.1%; P = .79; all Clavian Grade I/II). Initial HN treatment failure occurred in 28 patients, predicted by renal atrophy (hazard ratios (HR) 3.27, P <.01). HN resolution occurred in only 52 (27%) patients and was predicted by lower International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (FIGO III/IV HR 0.42, P <.01) and surgical tumor debulking/ureterolysis (HR 2.83, P = .02). CONCLUSION Resolution of HN associated with malignant obstruction from OCa is rare and is most closely associated with tumor debulking and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage. Initial endoscopic treatment modality was not significantly associated with complications or resolution, though RUS failures were slightly more common. Ureteral reconstruction at time of debulking/ureterolysis is potentially underutilized.

Pleura Peritoneum 2022; 7:19-26. [PMID: 35602922 PMCID: PMC9069499 DOI: 10.1515/pp-2021-0145] [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: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) has been established in the management of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Although it is still necessary to take adequate measures against major postoperative complications including acute kidney injury (AKI), consensus is lacking on how to assess and stratify risk for patients with postoperative AKI after CRS-HIPEC. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the association of intraoperative gross hematuria as a surrogate marker of ureter injury with postoperative AKI incidence. Methods This retrospective cohort study investigated patients without impaired preoperative kidney function who underwent CRS-HIPEC at a single referral center, and evaluated the relationship between intraoperative gross hematuria and incidence of postoperative AKI as defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes practice guidelines. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the odds ratio of intraoperative gross hematuria for AKI, adjusting for confounding factors and other risk factors for AKI. Results We enrolled 185 patients (males, 37%). Twenty-five patients developed intraoperative gross hematuria. Postoperative AKI occurred in 10 (40%) of 25 patients with hematuria and 28 (17.5%) of 160 patients without hematuria. The crude odds ratio for exposure to hematuria was 3.14 (95% confidence interval, 1.30–7.60; p=0.020) for postoperative AKI. Adjusted odds ratio as estimated by multivariate logistic regression was 4.57 (95% confidence interval, 1.55–13.45; p=0.006). Conclusions Intraoperative gross hematuria is significantly associated with postoperative AKI incidence after CRS-HIPEC. Early detection and treatment of postoperative acute kidney injury is essential. How to prevent acute kidney injury after cytoreductive surgery is unclear. Intraoperative hematuria is related to postoperative acute kidney injury. Hematuria is easily detectable and may reflect ureter injury. This may improve long-term outcomes for patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ureteral stent placement (USP) as a preoperative procedure for gynecological cancer surgeries. METHODS This was a single-institution retrospective cohort study of 259 patients with gynecological cancer who underwent laparotomy. In 126 patients (USP+ group), a ureteral stent was inserted into the bilateral ureters after the induction of general anesthesia. The remaining 133 patients (USP- group) did not undergo USP. We compared operation time, blood loss, and frequency of laparotomy-related perioperative urinary complications between the groups. The stent was removed 5-7 days postoperatively. Patients were evaluated for signs of hydronephrosis at discharge. The Fisher's exact test was used to investigate the significance of differences in patient characteristics, and multivariate analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazards model. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age and body mass index between the groups. Two patients in the USP- group experienced intraoperative ureteral injury. Total operation time and blood loss were significantly increased in the USP+ group. The risk of bladder tamponade and postoperative hydronephrosis was influenced by USP. USP was unaffected by a history of abdominal surgery, stage of tumor progression, lymphadenectomy type, or hysterectomy type. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of bladder tamponade and hydronephrosis postoperatively was significantly higher in patients with USP than in those without USP.

Abstract
Background: We previously reported a 2% Clavien IIIb urologic-induced complication rate associated with blind (no guidewire, no fluoroscopy) prophylactic ureteral localization stent (PULSe) placement. As part of a quality improvement initiative, mandatory guidewire placement before PULSe was performed and urologic-induced Clavien IIIb or greater complication rates were evaluated. A systematic review was performed to elicit the overall urologic-induced complication rate in the literature. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of all patients who underwent guidewire-assisted PULSe placement before colorectal surgery was performed. The contemporary cohort was compared with those in the prior cohort using age, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, preoperative creatinine, postoperative creatinine, pre-/postoperative creatinine difference, and Clavien IIIb urologic-induced complication rates. A review of literature from 1982 to 2019 was performed using 14 unique search terms. Of 38 studies reviewed, 18 met predetermined inclusion criteria. Results: One hundred thirty-two patients underwent bilateral PULSe placement with mandatory guidewire utilization. Mean age and BMI were 55.78 (18-89) and 27.02, respectively, with zero Clavien IIIb complications, compared with a rate of 2% (P < .001) in our prior study. Our contemporary cohort yielded a more favorable postoperative creatinine (P < .022) and pre-/postoperative creatinine difference (P < .003). A review of literature identified a mean Clavien IIIb complication rate of 0.38%. Conclusions: Mandatory guidewire utilization before PULSe placement reduced the Clavien IIIb complication rate to zero, compared with a rate of 2% from our prior cohort. Guidewire utilization can decrease Clavien IIIb urologic-induced complication rates. A review of the literature shows a lack of uniformity concerning the technique of PULSe placement.

Guidelines for Perioperative Care in Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic IntraPEritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC): Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society Recommendations - Part II: Postoperative management and special considerations. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 46:2311-2323. [PMID: 32826114 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 70] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been shown to considerably reduce complications, length of stay and costs after most of surgical procedures by standardised application of best evidence-based perioperative care. The aim was to elaborate dedicated recommendations for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) ± hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in a two-part series of guidelines based on expert consensus. The present part II of the guidelines highlights postoperative management and special considerations. METHODS The core group assembled a multidisciplinary panel of 24 experts involved in peritoneal surface malignancy surgery representing the fields of general surgery (n = 12), gynaecological surgery (n = 6), and anaesthesia (n = 6). Experts systematically reviewed and summarized the available evidence on 72 identified perioperative care items, following the GRADE (grading of recommendations, assessment, development, evaluation) system. Final consensus (defined as ≥50%, or ≥70% of weak/strong recommendations combined) was reached by a standardised 2-round Delphi process, regarding the strength of recommendations. RESULTS Response rates were 100% for both Delphi rounds. Quality of evidence was evaluated high, moderate low and very low, for 15 (21%), 26 (36%), 29 (40%) and 2 items, respectively. Consensus was reached for 71/72(98.6%) items. Strong recommendations were defined for 37 items. No consensus could be reached regarding the preemptive use of fresh frozen plasma. CONCLUSION The present ERAS recommendations for CRS ± HIPEC are based on a standardised expert consensus process providing clinicians with valuable guidance. There is an urgent need to produce high quality studies for CRS ± HIPEC and to prospectively evaluate recommendations in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are very few evidences about safety and usefulness of routine prophylactic ureteral stenting (PUS) before cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). MATERIAL AND METHODS An analysis of prospectively collected data about patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC for different sites of primary disease was carried out focusing on ureteral complications. RESULTS A total of 138 patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC between December 2010 and June 2017 were considered. All patients underwent PUS before CRS and HIPEC. Of them, 91 (66.4%) patients received pelvic peritonectomy, 49 (35.8%) pelvic lymphadenectomy, 31 (22.6%) left hemicolectomy, 44 (32.4%) right hemicolectomy, 46 (33.6%) rectal resection, 56 (40.9%) hysteroannessiectomy, and 39 (28.5%) appendectomy. There was one (0.7%) postoperative ureteral fistula. The cumulative risk of ureteral stent-related major complications was 4.3% (two patients (1.4%) had protracted gross hematuria, two patients (1.4%) had urinary sepsis, and three patients (2.9%) developed hydronephrosis after a period from removing ureteral stents and required restenting. Morbidity due to ureteral stenting was associated with a longer length of stay (LOS) (p=0.053). A total of 52 patients (44.1%) developed renal dysfunction according to the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, End-stage kidney-disease) criteria: 19.5% were in risk class, 10.2% in acute renal injury class, and 14.4% in acute renal failure class. CONCLUSION PUS could be a useful tool for reducing iatrogenic ureteral injury, but it is associated with a non-negligible morbidity, which implies longer LOS. A more accurate patient selection for PUS is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) results from perforated appendiceal tumors. It is usually diagnosed preoperatively by imaging. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), although aggressive long procedure with high complications rate, was considered the optimal treatment. This study is aiming to study the role of CRS and HIPEC in the management of PMP and assess the outcome. METHODS This is a retrospective study which was conducted at King Faisal Hospital and Research Center, a tertiary care hospital during the period from November 2008 to June 2016. Approval of the Research Advisory Council was obtained. Forty-one procedures of CRS and HIPEC were performed in 38 patients. Using the open abdomen technique, CRS was performed using standard peritonectomy procedures and visceral resections directed toward the complete elimination of tumors from abdominopelvic cavity. HIPEC was performed using mitomycin C in a dose of 30 mg/m2 and allowed to circulate in abdominopelvic cavity for 90 min at 41.0 to 42.2 °C. RESULTS Forty-one procedures were performed in 38 patients. Three procedures were done as repeat CRS and HIPEC. No perioperative mortality. Cystoscopy and bilateral ureteric stents in 35 procedures (85.5%). Hospital stay (range 9-85 days) average is 21 days. Follow up period is 1-84 months, and median follow up is 54 months. Five-year survival rate is 92%. Median 5-year disease-free survival rate is 60%. Two patients died during the follow up period by septic shock and one patient died from disease progression. CONCLUSION CRS and HIPEC is well-tolerated and feasible management for PMP.
