Tan J, Bao CM, Chen XY. Lung ultrasound score evaluation of the effect of pressure-controlled ventilation volume-guaranteed on patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy. World J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 16:1717-1725. [PMID: 38983317 PMCID: PMC11229990 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i6.1717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy (LARG) is the standard treatment for early-stage gastric carcinoma (GC). However, the negative impact of this procedure on respiratory function requires the optimized intraoperative management of patients in terms of ventilation. AIM To investigate the influence of pressure-controlled ventilation volume-guaranteed (PCV-VG) and volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) on blood gas analysis and pulmonary ventilation in patients undergoing LARG for GC based on the lung ultrasound score (LUS). METHODS The study included 103 patients with GC undergoing LARG from May 2020 to May 2023, with 52 cases undergoing PCV-VG (research group) and 51 cases undergoing VCV (control group). LUS were recorded at the time of entering the operating room (T0), 20 minutes after anesthesia with endotracheal intubation (T1), 30 minutes after artificial pneumoperitoneum (PP) establishment (T2), and 15 minutes after endotracheal tube removal (T5). For blood gas analysis, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) were observed. Peak airway pressure (Ppeak), plateau pressure (Pplat), mean airway pressure (Pmean), and dynamic pulmonary compliance (Cdyn) were recorded at T1 and T2, 1 hour after PP establishment (T3), and at the end of the operation (T4). Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) were recorded. Pre- and postoperative serum interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Compared with those at T0, the whole, anterior, lateral, posterior, upper, lower, left, and right lung LUS of the research group were significantly reduced at T1, T2, and T5; in the control group, the LUS of the whole and partial lung regions (posterior, lower, and right lung) decreased significantly at T2, while at T5, the LUS of the whole and some regions (lateral, lower, and left lung) increased significantly. In comparison with the control group, the whole and regional LUS of the research group were reduced at T1, T2, and T5, with an increase in PaO2, decrease in PaCO2, reduction in Ppeak at T1 to T4, increase in Pmean and Cdyn, and decrease in Pplat at T4, all significant. The research group showed a significantly lower incidence of PPCs than the control group within 3 days postoperatively. Postoperative IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α significantly increased in both groups, with even higher levels in the control group. CONCLUSION LUS can indicate intraoperative non-uniformity and postural changes in pulmonary ventilation under PCV-VG and VCV. Under the lung protective ventilation strategy, the PCV-VG mode more significantly improved intraoperative lung ventilation in patients undergoing LARG for GC and reduced lung injury-related cytokine production, thereby alleviating lung injury.

Abstract
To examine the influence of Body Mass Index (BMI) on laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) short-term and long-term outcomes for gastric cancer. A retrospective analysis was conducted on gastric cancer patients undergoing LG at the Third Hospital of Nanchang City from January 2013 to January 2022. Based on WHO BMI standards, patients were categorized into normal weight, overweight, and obese groups. Factors such as operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and overall survival were assessed. Across different BMI groups, it was found that an increase in BMI was associated with longer operative times (average times: 206.22 min for normal weight, 231.32 min for overweight, and 246.78 min for obese), with no significant differences noted in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, or long-term survival among the groups. The impact of BMI on long-term survival following LG for gastric cancer was found to be insignificant, with no notable differences in survival outcome between different BMI groups. Although higher BMI is associated with increased operative time in LG for gastric cancer, it does not significantly affect intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, recovery, or long-term survival. LG is a feasible treatment choice for obese patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is widely used, and perioperative complications have become a highly concerned issue. AIM To develop a predictive model for complications in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer to better predict the likelihood of complications in gastric cancer patients within 30 days after surgery, guide perioperative treatment strategies for gastric cancer patients, and prevent serious complications. METHODS In total, 998 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at 16 Chinese medical centers were included in the training group for the complication model, and 398 patients were included in the validation group. The clinicopathological data and 30-d postoperative complications of gastric cancer patients were collected. Three machine learning methods, lasso regression, random forest, and artificial neural networks, were used to construct postoperative complication prediction models for laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and laparoscopic total gastrectomy, and their prediction efficacy and accuracy were evaluated. RESULTS The constructed complication model, particularly the random forest model, could better predict serious complications in gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. It exhibited stable performance in external validation and is worthy of further promotion in more centers. CONCLUSION Using the risk factors identified in multicenter datasets, highly sensitive risk prediction models for complications following laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were established. We hope to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of preoperative and postoperative decision-making by using these models.

Abstract
Introduction The number of overweight patients with gastric cancer (GC) is increasing, and no previous study has compared laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) and robotic gastrectomy (RG) in obese patients with GC. To investigate the perioperative and oncologic outcomes of RG and LG in obese GC patients, we performed a meta-analysis of propensity matched scores and retrospective studies to compare the perioperative parameters, oncologic findings, and short-term postoperative outcomes between the two groups. Methods This study was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register to identify eligible propensity matched scores and retrospective studies conducted and published before December 2022. Data on perioperative and oncological outcomes were included in the meta-analysis. Results Overall, we identified 1 propensity score match study and 5 randomized control trials of RG and LG, enrolling a total of 718 patients (197 and 521 patients received RG and LG, respectively). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of complications, bleeding, or lymph node dissection. Of note, RG had a longer procedure time (P = 0.03), earlier oral intake (P = 0.0010), shorter hospital stay (P = 0.0002), and shorter time to defecation (P < 0.00001). Conclusions This meta-analysis concluded that patients in the RG group had shorter hospital stays, earlier postoperative feeding, and earlier postoperative ventilation; however, no differences were found in blood loss, number of lymph nodes removed, or overall complications. RG is an effective, safe, and promising treatment for obese patients with GC, compensating for the shortcomings of laparoscopy and allowing for less trauma and faster recovery.

Abstract
Importance Evidence of implementation of laparoscopic gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer is currently insufficient, as the primary end point in previous prospective studies was evaluated at a median follow-up time of 3 years. More robust evidence is necessary to verify noninferiority of laparoscopic gastrectomy. Objective To compare 5-year survival outcomes between laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) with D2 lymph node dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter, open-label, noninferiority, prospective randomized clinical trial. Between November 26, 2009, and July 29, 2016, eligible patients with histologically proven gastric carcinoma from 37 institutes in Japan were enrolled. Two interim analyses and final analysis were performed in October 2014, May 2018, and November 2021, respectively. Interventions Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either the ODG or LADG group. The procedures were performed exclusively by qualified surgeons. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was 5-year relapse-free survival, and the noninferiority margin for the hazard ratio (HR) was set at 1.31. The secondary end points were 5-year overall survival and safety. Results A total of 502 patients were included in the full-analysis set: 254 (50.6%) in the ODG group and 248 (49.4%) in the LADG group. Patients in the ODG group had a median (IQR) age of 67 (33-80) years and included 168 males (66.1%). Patients in the LADG group had a median (IQR) age of 64 (34-80) years and included 169 males (68.1%). No significant differences were observed in severe postoperative complications between the 2 groups in the safety analysis (ODG, 4.7% [11 of 233] vs LADG, 3.5% [8 of 227]; P = .64). The median (IQR) follow-up for all patients after randomization was 67.9 (60.3-92.0) months. The 5-year relapse-free survival was 73.9% (95% CI, 68.7%-79.5%) and 75.7% (95% CI, 70.5%-81.2%) for the ODG and LADG groups, respectively, and the HR was 0.96 (90% CI, 0.72-1.26; noninferiority 1-sided P = .03). Further, no significant difference was observed in overall survival time between the 2 groups, and the HR was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.57-1.21; P = .34). The pattern of recurrence was similar between the 2 groups. Conclusions and Relevance Results of this study show that on the basis of 5-year follow-up data, LADG with D2 lymph node dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer, when performed by qualified surgeons, was proved noninferior to ODG. This laparoscopic approach could become a standard treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer. Trial Registration UMIN Clinical Trial Registry: UMIN000003420.

Abstract
Background Surgical resection is still the primary way to treat gastric cancer. Therefore, postoperative complications such as IAI (intra-abdominal infection) are major problems that front-line clinical workers should pay special attention to. This article was to build and validate IAI’s RF (regression function) model. Furthermore, it analyzed the prognosis in patients with IAI after surgery for stomach cancer. The above two points are our advantages, which were not involved in previous studies. Methods The data of this study was divided into two parts, the training data set and the validation data set. The training data for this article were from the patients treated surgically with gastric cancer in our center from December 2015 to February 2017. We examined IAI’s morbidity, etiological characteristics, and prognosis in the training data set. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen risk factors, establish an RF model and create a nomogram. Data from January to March 2021 were used to validate the accuracy of the RF model. Results The incidence of IAI was 7.2%. The independent risk factors for IAI were hypertension (Odds Ratio [OR] = 3.408, P = 0.001), history of abdominal surgery (OR = 2.609, P = 0.041), combined organ excision (OR = 4.123, P = 0.010), and operation time ≥240 min (OR = 3.091, P = 0.005). In the training data set and validation data set, the area under the ROC curve of IAI predicted by the RF model was 0.745 ± 0.048 (P<0.001) and 0.736 ± 0.069 (P=0.003), respectively. In addition, IAI significantly extended the length of hospital stay but had little impact on survival. Conclusions Patients with hypertension, combined organ excision, a history of abdominal surgery, and a surgical duration of 240 min or more are prone to IAI, and the RF model may help to identify them.

Surg Endosc 2022; 36:6181-6193. [PMID: 35294634 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09178-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer surgery for obese patients is regarded as a technically challenging procedure. The morbidity after gastrectomy has been reported to be significantly higher in patients with high visceral fat area (VFA). Robotic gastrectomy (RG) is expected to be advantageous for complicated operations. However, whether RG is superior to conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for patients with visceral fat obesity remains unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the impact of RG on the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with high VFAs. METHODS This study included 1306 patients with clinical stage I/II gastric cancer who underwent minimally invasive gastrectomy between January 2012 and December 2020. The patients were subclassified according to VFA. The short- and long-term outcomes of RG were compared with those of LG in two VFA categories. RESULTS This study included 394 (high-VFA, 151; low-VFA, 243) and 882 patients (high-VFA, 366; low-VFA, 516) in the RG and LG groups, respectively. RG was associated with a significantly longer operative time than LG (high-VFA, P < 0.001; low-VFA, P < 0.001). The incidence rates of overall and intra-abdominal infectious complications in the high-VFA patients were lower in the RG group than in the LG group (P = 0.019 and P = 0.048, respectively) but not significantly different from those in the low-VFA patients. In the multivariate analysis, LG was identified as the only independent risk factor of overall (odds ratio [OR] 3.281; P = 0.012) and intra-abdominal infectious complications (OR 3.462; P = 0.021) in the high-VFA patients. The overall survival of high-VFA patients was significantly better in the RG group than in the LG group (P = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS For patients with visceral fat obesity, RG appears to be advantageous to LG in terms of reducing the risk of complications and better long-term survival.

[PMID: 34741672 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02369-5] [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: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes in obese patients with gastric cancer undergoing totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) to clarify its feasibility in this population. METHODS We examined 136 consecutive patients who underwent TLTG for gastric cancer (GC) between 2013 and 2018. A total of 45 patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 were defined as the obese group (obese and overweight patients by the WHO classification), and 91 patients with a BMI < 25 kg/m2 were defined as the non-obese group. Short- and long-term outcomes were compared, and the correlation between obesity and postoperative complications was examined in patients who underwent TLTG. RESULTS Although the operation time (min) was significantly longer in the obese group than in the non-obese group (329 vs 307, p = 0.002), there were no significant differences in the total volume of blood loss (mL) (118 vs 60, p = 0.059) or the rate of conversion to laparotomy between the two groups (2 vs 2, p = 0.466). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (16% vs 19%, p = 0.653). In the multivariate analysis, obesity was not identified as a risk factor for postoperative complications among patients who underwent TLTG. The rate of overall survival was not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.512). CONCLUSION TLTG is feasible for obese Japanese patients with GC. To validate the results of the present study, it is necessary to conduct a prospective study of a large population of patients with GC.

[PMID: 34540945 PMCID: PMC8406338 DOI: 10.1159/000517345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is considered a risk factor for postoperative complications as it can limit exposure to the operation field, thereby significantly prolonging surgery time. Obesity-associated comorbidities, such as low-grade systemic inflammation, impaired functional status, and type 2 diabetes, are independent risk factors for impaired anastomotic wound healing and nonsurgical site infections. If obesity itself is an independent risk factor for surgical complications remains controversial, but the reason for this is largely unexplored. SUMMARY A MEDLINE literature search was performed using the terms: "obesity," "excess body weight," and "surgical complications." Out of 65,493 articles 432 meta-analyses were screened, of which 25 meta-analyses were on the subject. The vast majority of complex oncologic procedures in the field of visceral surgery have shown higher complication rates in obese patients. Meta-analyses from the last 10 to 15 years with high numbers of patients enrolled consistently have shown longer operation times, higher blood loss, longer hospital stay for colorectal procedures, oncologic upper gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, and pancreatic surgery. Interestingly, these negative effects seem not to affect the overall survival in oncologic patients, especially in esophageal resections. A selection bias in oncologic upper GI patients may have influenced the results with higher BMI in upper GI cancer to be a predictor for better nutritional and performance status. KEY MESSAGES Contrary to bariatric surgery, only limited evidence indicated that site and type of surgery, the approach to the abdominal cavity (laparoscopic vs. open), institutional factors, and the type of perioperative care such as ERAS protocols may play a role in determining postsurgical complications in obese patients. The initial question remains therefore partially unanswered. Large nationwide register-based studies are necessary to better understand which aspects of obesity and its related comorbidities define it as a risk factor for surgical complications.

[PMID: 33965317 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2021.04.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The impact of body mass index (BMI) on surgical outcomes has previously been studied in relation to several oncological procedures. Regarding gastric cancer surgery, published results have been contradicting in terms of degree of technical difficulty, risk of postoperative complications and survival. In an attempt to clarify these issues, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of obesity (defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) on outcomes after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Eligible studies were identified through search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The meta-analysis was conducted using random-effects modeling. A total of 11 studies with 13 538 patients were eligible for analysis. Obesity was associated with a significantly longer operation time (WMD = 19.38 min, 95% CI 12.72-26.04; p < 0.001), increased risk of overall complications (RR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.42; p = 0.005) and pulmonary complications (RR = 3.81, 95% CI 2.24-6.46; p < 0.001). These findings remained irrespective type of surgery (laparoscopic vs. open) and type of gastrectomy. No differences were found regarding blood loss, number of resected lymph nodes, anastomotic leakage, hospital stay, 30-day mortality and 5-year overall survival. The conclusion of the current meta-analysis is that high BMI in gastric cancer patients is associated with longer operative time and more frequent overall postoperative complications. However, it has no negative impact on survival, indicating that gastrectomy is a safe procedure for this group of patients.

Comparison of Operative Outcomes Among Laparoscopic, 3D-Laparoscopic, and Robotic Gastrectomy for Distal Gastric Cancer. Int Surg 2021. [DOI: 10.9738/intsurg-d-21-00007.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective
Minimally invasive surgery has become popular in the treatment of gastric cancer.
Background
Few reports have compared operative outcomes among laparoscopic, 3-dimensional (3D)-laparoscopic, and robotic gastrectomy for distal gastric cancer.
Methods
Between August 2011 and June 2020, a total of 245 patients underwent laparoscopic (n = 129), 3D-laparoscopic (n = 55), or robotic (n = 61) gastrectomy for distal gastric cancer; the clinicopathologic characteristics and operative outcomes were compared among groups.
Results
Compared with the laparoscopic group, the 3D-laparoscopic and robotic groups were associated with more D2 lymphadenectomy, higher medical costs, and a longer operative time, whereas the number of retrieved lymph nodes and surgical complications were similar among the 3 groups. For patients receiving D2 lymphadenectomy, the robotic group was associated with higher medical costs and longer operative time than the other 2 groups; patients with high body mass index (high BMI) had a longer operative time than patients with low BMI in the laparoscopic group, which was not significantly different between patients with low or high BMI in both the 3D-laparoscopic and robotic groups. For patients with low BMI, the medical costs were higher and the operative time was longer in the robotic group than the other 2 groups. For patients with high BMI, the robotic group was associated with higher medical costs, and longer operative time and postoperative hospital stay than the other 2 groups.
Conclusions
3D-laparoscopic gastrectomy was associated with affordable medical costs, comparable lymphadenectomy, and similar surgical outcomes compared with robotic gastrectomy.

Safety of subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for anterior mediastinal tumour in obese patients. Wideochir Inne Tech Maloinwazyjne 2020; 16:377-381. [PMID: 34136034 PMCID: PMC8193757 DOI: 10.5114/wiitm.2020.100879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been gradually applied for the treatment of anterior mediastinal tumour (AMT). However, whether obesity is a risk factor for subxiphoid uniportal VATS for AMT is still unknown. Aim To explore the safety and short-term outcome of subxiphoid uniportal VATS for AMT in obese patients. Material and methods The clinical data of 142 patients who received VATS via subxiphoid approach for AMT were analysed. According to body mass index (BMI), the patients were divided into an obese group (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) and a non-obese group (BMI < 28 kg/m2). Then, the clinical and surgical characteristics between the obese group and the non-obese group were analysed to explore the effect of obesity on VATS for AMT. The pain scores were evaluated by the Numeric Rating Scale. Results The operative time and tracheal intubation time using subxiphoid uniportal VATS for AMT in the obese group were longer than that in the non-obese group (p < 0.05). However, there was no obvious difference in intraoperative blood loss, chest tube drainage time, chest tube drainage volume, and length of hospital stay between the obese group and the non-obese group (p > 0.05). Moreover, there was also no significant difference in postoperative complications, including pulmonary complications, wound infection, arrhythmia, and pulmonary leak, between the obese group and the non-obese group. In addition, the pain scores in the obese group were similar to those in the non-obese group. Conclusions Although obesity might prolong operative time of subxiphoid uniportal VAST for AMT, it does not increase the rate of postoperative complications. An experienced centre can properly conduct VAST via subxiphoid approach when treating AMT in obese patients.
