Abstract
Duodenal stump fistula (DSF) is a dangerous complication after gastrectomy. There is no consensus on the management of DSF. Sometimes, emergency surgery may be necessary. We present the case who underwent subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction for advanced gastric cancer. After that surgery, we diagnosed DSF due to pancreatic fistula, and performed reoperation because of hemodynamic instability due to diffuse peritonitis and sepsis. We resected the stump and closed with handsewn suturing and inserted three intra-abdominal drainage tubes, including a dual drainage tube around the duodenal stump. Although there was a recurrence of DSF, because of the continuous and absolute drainage, the patient improved and discharged on postoperative Day 59. From this experience, diligent debridement and a continuous suction dual drainage system, intraluminal drain of the duodenum, and biliary diversion may be an effective surgical management for DFS.

Abstract
Reno alimentary fistula, a rare illness characterized by improper connection between the kidney and digestive tract, can lead to urinary tract infections, abscesses, and severe sepsis. It can also be caused by various factors such as chronic infections, malignancy, cryoablation, or abdominal surgical procedures. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with bilateral staghorn stones who was diagnosed with reno-duodenal fistula and underwent a right simple nephrectomy and fistula closure. The histopathology revealed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma that originated from the renal pelvis.

BMC Surg 2024; 24:123. [PMID: 38658911 PMCID: PMC11041002 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-024-02423-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study introduced the modified Q-type purse-string suture duodenal stump embedding method, a convenient way to strengthen the duodenum, and compared it to the conventional one to assess its efficacy and safety. METHODS This retrospective analysis examined 612 patients who received laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric Cancer at a single center. The patients were divided into Not Reinforced Group (n = 205) and Reinforced Group (n = 407) according to the surgical approach to the duodenal stump. The reinforced group was further divided into a modified Q-type purse-string suture embedding method group (QM, n = 232) and a conventional suture duodenal stump embedding method group (CM, n = 175) according to the methods of duodenal stump enhancement. Clinicopathological characteristics, operative variables, and short-term complications were documented and analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of duodenal stump leakage(DSL) in the Not Reinforced Group was higher compared to the Reinforced Group, although the difference was not statistically significant [2.4% (5/205) vs 0.7% (3/407), p = 0.339]. Additionally, the Not Reinforced Group exhibited a higher rate of Reoperation due to DSL compared to the Reinforced Group [2 (1.0%) vs. 0, p = 0.046], with one patient in the Not Reinforced Group experiencing mortality due to DSL [1 (0.5%) vs 0, p = 0.158]. Subgroup analysis within the Reinforced Group revealed that the modified Q-type purse-string suture embedding group (QM) subgroup demonstrated statistically significant advantages over the conventional suture embedding group (CM) subgroup. QM exhibited shorter purse-string closure times (4.11 ± 1.840 vs. 6.05 ± 1.577, p = 0.001), higher purse-string closure success rates (93.1% vs. 77.7%, p = 0.001), and greater satisfaction with purse-string closure [224 (96.6%) vs 157 (89.7%), p = 0.005]. No occurrences of duodenal stump leakage were observed in the QM subgroup, while the CM subgroup experienced two cases [2 (1.1%)], though the difference was not statistically significant. Both groups did not exhibit statistically significant differences in secondary surgery or mortality related to duodenal stump leakage. CONCLUSION Duodenal Stump Leakage (DSL) is a severe but low-incidence complication. There is no statistically significant relationship between the reinforcement of the duodenal stump and the incidence of DSL. However, laparoscopic reinforcement of the duodenal stump can reduce the severity of fistulas and the probability of Reoperation. The laparoscopic Q-type purse-string suture duodenal stump embedding method is a simple and effective technique that can, to some extent, shorten the operation time and enhance satisfaction with purse-string closure. There is a trend towards reducing the incidence of DSL, thereby improving patient prognosis to a certain extent.

Comparative efficacy of sequential treatment and open abdomen approaches for corrosive abdominal hemorrhage due to inadequate drainage of duodenal leakage: a cohort study. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:85-96. [PMID: 37914952 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10525-9] [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: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal bleeding resulting from inadequate drainage of duodenal leakage (DL) is typically caused by the corrosiveness of duodenal fluid. Open abdomen (OA) treatment addresses both the drainage and bleeding simultaneously. However, a sequential treatment (ST) approach involving hemostasis through transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) followed by percutaneous drainage of source control has emerged as an alternative method. This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of ST in cases of DL-induced intra-abdominal bleeding. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 151 participants diagnosed with DL-induced intra-abdominal bleeding from January 2004 to December 2010, and January 2013 to December 2021. The ST and OA groups were established based on the treatment method applied. Propensity score-matching (PSM) matched patients in the ST group with those in the OA group. RESULTS Among the 151 patients, 61 (40.4%) died within 90 days after the bleeding episode. ST was associated with a lower mortality rate (28.2% vs. 51.3% adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17-0.68; P = 0.003) compared to OA. Following PSM, ST remained the only factor associated with reduced mortality (OR = 0.32; 95% CI 0.13-0.75; P = 0.009). Moreover, ST demonstrated a higher rate of initial hemostasis success before (90.1% [64/71] vs. 77.5% [62/80]; adjusted OR = 2.84; 95% CI 1.07-7.60; P = 0.04) and after PSM (94.4% [51/54] vs. 77.8% [42/54], adjusted OR = 3.85; 95% CI 2.15-16.82; P = 0.04). Additionally, ST was associated with a lower incidence of rebleeding within 90 days after the initial bleeding, before (7 vs. 23; adjusted OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.18-0.92; P = 0.03) and after PSM (5 vs. 14; adjusted OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.15-0.93; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Applying ST involving TAE and subsequent percutaneous drainage might be superior to OA in lowering the mortality in DL-induced intra-abdominal hemorrhage.

Trocar puncture with modified sump drainage for duodenal stump fistula after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A retrospective controlled study. Surg Open Sci 2023; 16:121-126. [PMID: 37876666 PMCID: PMC10590734 DOI: 10.1016/j.sopen.2023.09.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Duodenal stump fistula (DSF) is a serious complication of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Herein, we illustrated an innovative choice for treating duodenal stump fistulas by placing a modified sump drainage through trocar puncture into the DSF-related abscess (DSF-abscess) cavity. We retrospectively analyzed 974 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer between 2011 and 2021. Of these patients, 34 who developed postoperative duodenal stump fistulas postoperatively were enrolled into our study, and their clinical data were retrospectively assessed. From January 2011 to December 2017, 15 patients received conventional treatments (percutaneous catheter drainage, PCD group) known as the traditional percutaneous method, and 19 patients from January 2018 to December 2021 received new treatments (Troca's SD group) consisting of conventional therapies and placement of a modified sump drainage through trocar puncture into DSF-abscess cavity. The demographics, clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes were compared between two groups. Compared with the PCD group, the rates of postoperative complications, duodenostomy creation, subsequent surgery, fistula healing rates of the DSF, and length of postoperative hospital stay were significantly decreased in the Troca SD group. However, there was no significant difference in the abscess recurrence rate and mortality rates. Trocar puncture with a modified sump drainage is an safe, effective, and technically feasible treatment for duodenal stump fistula after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. This novel technique should be further investigated using large-scale RCT research.

Abstract
Duodenal stump fistula is a rare but dangerous complication of gastric cancer surgery. Reinforcement of the duodenal stump was suggested as a useful method to prevent the occurrence of duodenal stump fistula. Although laparoscopic surgery has been established as a safe procedure for gastric cancer, it is acknowledged that the application of duodenal stump reinforcement is a demanding process in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. This review aims to provide a concise description of the proposed reinforcement methods of duodenal stump after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer by summarizing the relevant literature written in English. The thorough knowledge of these reinforcement techniques may help surgeons to find the most suitable reinforcement method of duodenal stump for patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A common feature of external duodenal fistulae is the devastating effect of the duodenal content rich in bile and pancreatic juice on nearby tissues with therapy-resistant local and systemic complications. This study analyzes the results of different management options with emphasis on successful fistula closure rates. METHODS A retrospective single academic center study of adult patients treated for complex duodenal fistulas over a 17-year period with descriptive and univariate analyses was performed. RESULTS Fifty patients were identified. First line treatment was surgical in 38 (76%) cases and consisted of resuture or resection with anastomosis combined with duodenal decompression and periduodenal drainage in 36 cases, rectus muscle patch, and surgical decompression with T-tube in one each. Fistula closure rate was 29/38 (76%). In 12 cases, the initial management was nonoperative with or without percutaneous drainage. The fistula was closed without surgery in 5/6 patients (1 patient died with persistent fistula). Among the remaining 6 patients eventually operated, fistula closure was achieved in 4 cases. There was no difference in successful fistula closure rates among initially operatively versus nonoperatively managed patients (29/38 vs. 9/12, p = 1.000). However, when considering eventually failed nonoperative management in 7/12 patients, there was a significant difference in the fistula closure rate (29/38 vs. 5/12, p = 0.036). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 20/50 (40%). CONCLUSIONS Surgical closure combined with duodenal decompression in complex duodenal leaks offers the best chance of successful outcome. In selected cases, nonoperative management can be tried, accepting that some patients may require surgery later.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Common diseases after radical gastrectomy include cholecystitis and pancreatitis, but the sudden onset of acute appendicitis in a short period following radical gastrectomy is very rare, and its clinical symptoms are easily misdiagnosed as duodenal stump leakage.
CASE SUMMARY This is a case report of a 77-year-old woman with lower right abdominal pain 14 d after radical resection of gastric cancer. Her pain was not relieved by conservative treatment, and her inflammatory markers were elevated. Computed tomography showed effusion in the perihepatic and hepatorenal spaces, right paracolic sulcus and pelvis, as well as exudative changes in the right iliac fossa. Ultrasound-guided puncture revealed a slightly turbid yellow-green fluid. Laparoscopic exploration showed a swollen appendix with surrounding pus moss and no abnormalities of the digestive anastomosis or stump; thus, laparoscopic appendectomy was performed. The patient recovered well after the operation. Postoperative pathology showed acute purulent appendicitis. The patient continued adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery, completing three cycles of oxaliplatin plus S-1 (SOX regimen).
CONCLUSION Acute appendicitis in the short term after radical gastrectomy needs to be differentiated from duodenal stump leakage, and early diagnosis and surgery are the most important means of treatment.

Abstract
Duodenal stump fistula (DSF) is one of the most serious complications of gastrectomy. The mean time to diagnosis of DSF is approximately 9 days after operation. Our report describes an extremely rare case of delayed DSF 144 days after a laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. A 58-year-old man with drug-induced liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A) underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with Billroth-II reconstruction for early gastric cancer. On postoperative day 1, he underwent reoperation because of intra-abdominal bleeding. Ongoing bleeding was observed in the stapler line of the duodenal stump and was controlled using metallic surgical clips. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 14, without complications. After 144 days following the first operation, he visited the emergency room with right flank pain and high fever. Computed tomography revealed free air and abscess near the duodenal stump site. Emergency laparotomy, abscess unlooping, and drain insertion were performed. After surgery, bile was drained by intra-abdominal drainage, and fistulography showed a duodenal fistula. The patient was discharged 55 days after his third surgery. This is an extremely rare case of DSF, which may be caused by the metallic surgical clips used for hemostasis of the duodenal stump stapler line. We believe that the use of metallic surgical clips for hemostasis of the duodenal stump after Billroth-II reconstruction should be avoided.

[PMID: 34175308 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2021.113841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Despite current management strategies, digestive fistulae remain extremely debilitating complications associated with significant morbidity and mortality, generating a need to develop innovative therapies in these indications. A number of clinical trials and experimental studies have thus investigated the potential of stem/stromal cells (SCs) or SC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) administration for post-surgical and Crohn's-associated fistulae. This review summarizes the physiopathology and current standards-of-care for digestive fistulae, along with relevant evidence from animal and clinical studies regarding SC or EV treatment for post-surgical digestive fistulae. Additionally, existing preclinical models of fistulizing Crohn's disease and results of SC therapy trials in this indication will be presented. The optimal formulation and administration protocol of SC therapy products for gastrointestinal fistula treatment and the challenges for a widespread use of darvadstrocel (Alofisel) in clinical practice will be discussed. Finally, the potential advantages of EV therapy and the obstacles towards their clinical translation will be introduced.

[PMID: 34852144 PMCID: PMC8595635 DOI: 10.6061/clinics/2021/e3508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been recognized as one of the most serious public health crises. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term impact of the pandemic on the surgical treatment of patients with gastric cancer (GC) in addition to their clinicopathological characteristics. We also verified adherence to the COVID-19 screening protocol adopted in the institution. METHODS All patients with GC who underwent surgical treatment between 2015 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated and divided into two groups according to the time period: control group (2015-2019) and COVID group (2020-2021). The institutional protocol recommends that patients referred for surgery undergo RT-PCR for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. RESULTS A total of 83 patients were classified into the COVID group and 535 into the control group. The number of surgical procedures performed in the control group was 107 (SD±23.8) per year. Diagnostic procedures (p=0.005), preoperative chemotherapy (p<0.001), and adenocarcinomas without Lauren's subtype (p=0.009) were more frequent in the COVID group than in the control group. No significant difference was observed in the pathological characteristics and surgical outcomes of curative GC between the two groups. Evaluation of protocol compliance showed that of 83 patients with GC in the COVID group, 19 (22.9%) were not tested for COVID-19 before surgery. Two patients tested positive for COVID-19 (one preoperative and one postoperative). CONCLUSION A decrease in the average number of surgeries and a higher frequency of diagnostic procedures occurred during the pandemic than in the previous time period. Tumor/node/metastasis classification, morbidity rates, and mortality rates in patients with GC during the pandemic did not differ from those in the previous time period. Accordingly, GC surgical treatment with acceptable screening protocol compliance could be safely performed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND : The II Brazilian Consensus on Gastric Cancer of the Brazilian Gastric Cancer Association BGCA (Part 1) was recently published. On this occasion, countless specialists working in the treatment of this disease expressed their opinion in the face of the statements presented. AIM : To present the BGCA Guidelines (Part 2) regarding indications for surgical treatment, operative techniques, extension of resection and multimodal treatment. METHODS To formulate these guidelines, the authors carried out an extensive and current review regarding each declaration present in the II Consensus, using the Medline/PubMed, Cochrane Library and SciELO databases initially with the following descriptors: gastric cancer, gastrectomy, lymphadenectomy, multimodal treatment. In addition, each statement was classified according to the level of evidence and degree of recommendation. RESULTS : Of the 43 statements present in this study, 11 (25,6%) were classified with level of evidence A, 20 (46,5%) B and 12 (27,9%) C. Regarding the degree of recommendation, 18 (41,9%) statements obtained grade of recommendation 1, 14 (32,6%) 2a, 10 (23,3%) 2b e one (2,3%) 3. CONCLUSION : The guidelines complement of the guidelines presented here allows surgeons and oncologists who work to combat gastric cancer to offer the best possible treatment, according to the local conditions available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) in treatment of abdominal bleeding in patients being treated with open abdomen due to duodenal fistula. METHODS This was a retrospective study performed at our center. From January 2005 to November 2010, all patients with abdominal bleeding were treated with surgical hemostasis (SH) and included in SH group. From January 2012 to December 2018, all patients with a bleeding were treated with TAE and included in the TAE group. Clinical data were reviewed and compared between the two groups. The effect of TAE in the management of abdominal bleeding was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 131 patients were enrolled, and there were 64 in the SH group and 67 in the TAE group. The success rate of hemostasis was higher in the TAE group (89.55% vs. 73.44%, adjusted OR = 4.065, 95% CI 1.336-12.336, P = 0.013). Moreover, the recognition rate of hemorrhagic vessels in the TAE group was higher (91.04 vs. 51.56; P < 0.001). The re-bleeding occurred in 20 patients, 7(11.67%) in the TAE group and 13(27.66%) in the SH group. The re-bleeding rate in SH group was higher (adjusted HR = 2.564, 95% CI 1.023-6.428, P = 0.045) CONCLUSIONS: TAE is an effective method in treatment of abdominal bleeding in patients being treated with open abdomen due to duodenal fistula.

Abstract
Purpose Duodenal stump leakage (DSL) is a potentially fatal complication that can occur after gastrectomy, but its underlying risk factors are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and management of DSL after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC). Materials and Methods Relevant data were collected from several prospective databases to retrospectively analyze the data of GC patients who underwent Billroth II (B-II) or Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction after laparoscopic gastrectomy from 2 institutions (Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and HwaMei Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences). The DSL risk factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis regression. Results A total of 810 patients were eligible for our analysis (426 with R-Y, 384 with B-II with Braun). Eleven patients had DSL (1.36%). Body mass index (BMI), elevated preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and unreinforced duodenal stump were the independent risk factors for DSL. DSL was diagnosed in 2–12 days, with a median of 8 days. Seven patients received conservative treatment, 3 patients received puncture treatment, and only 1 patient required reoperation. All patients recovered successfully after treatment. Conclusions The risk factors of DSL were BMI ≥24 kg/m2, elevated preoperative CRP level, and unreinforced duodenal stump. Nonsurgical treatments for DSL are preferred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative chemotherapy (CMT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is commonly recommended for gastric cancer (GC) patients in order to improve survival. However, some factors that prevent patients from return to intended oncologic treatment (RIOT) may increase the risk of recurrence and decrease the survival benefits achieved with curative resection. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and factors associated with inability to RIOT and their impact on survival. METHODS This retrospective study included stage II/III GC patients treated with potentially curative gastrectomy. Patients who could return to intended oncologic treatment (RIOT group) and those who could not (inability to RIOT group) were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 313 eligible GC patients, 89 (28.4%) and 85 (27.2%) patients receive CRT and CMT, respectively, representing a RIOT rate of 55.6%. The main reason was attributed to general poor performance status (30.2%), followed by surgical postoperative complications (POC) (20.1%). Older age, higher ASA, D1 lymphadenectomy, and major POC were related to inability to RIOT. Older age, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and major POC were independent risk factors for inability to RIOT. Five-year DFS and OS were worse for the inability to RIOT group than for the RIOT group (p = 0.008 and p = 0.004, respectively). In multivariate analyses, absence of neoadjuvant therapy, total gastrectomy, pT3/T4, pN+, and inability to RIOT were associated with worse DFS. Type of gastrectomy, lymphadenectomy, pN status, Rx resection, and RIOT group were associated with OS. CONCLUSION Older age, high NLR, and major POC were risk factors for inability to RIOT. RIOT was an independent predictor of survival.

Abstract
Gastric cancer surgery has evolved considerably over the past years, with substantial improvement on outcomes. Meanwhile, esophagojejunal anastomotic fistula (EJF) continues to impair postoperative results. This study aimed to assess EJF regarding its incidence, risk factors, management and the impact on overall survival. We retrospectively analyzed 258 consecutive patients who underwent total or completion gastrectomy for GC from 2009 and 2017. Clinicopathological characteristics analysis was performed comparing patients who developed EJF with patients with other clinical or surgical complications, as well as patients without any postoperative complications. Fifteen (5.8%) patients had EJF and 81 (31.4%) had other complications (including other surgical fistulas). The median time of EJF diagnosis was on the eighth postoperative day (range 3-76). Completion gastrectomy (p = 0.048) and longer hospital stay (p < 0.001) were associated with the occurrence of EJF. The surgical mortality of patients with EJF was higher than in non-EJF patients (26.7% vs. 4.5%; p < 0.001). Nine patients were treated conservatively and six required surgery. The mortality rate of EJF was 11.1% and 50% in patients who underwent conservative and surgical treatment, respectively. Patients with other complications and patients with EJF had worse survival compared to patients without any complication (p = 0.004 and p = 0.013, respectively). Completion gastrectomy is the main risk factor for EJF occurrence. Still, EJF is associated with high postoperative mortality, longer hospital stay and has a negative impact on long-term survival.

Management of duodenal stump fistula after gastrectomy for malignant disease: a systematic review of the literature. BMC Surg 2019; 19:55. [PMID: 31138190 PMCID: PMC6540539 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-019-0520-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Duodenal stump fistula (DSF) remains one of the most serious complications following subtotal or total gastrectomy, as it endangers patient’s life. DSF is related to high mortality (16–20%) and morbidity (75%) rates. DSF-related morbidity always leads to longer hospitalization times due to medical and surgical complications such as wound infections, intra-abdominal abscesses, intra-abdominal bleeding, acute pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, severe malnutrition, fluids and electrolytes disorders, diffuse peritonitis, and pneumonia. Our systematic review aimed at improving our understanding of such surgical complication, focusing on nonsurgical and surgical DSF management in patients undergoing gastric resection for gastric cancer. Methods We performed a systematic literature review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were used to search all related literature. Results The 20 included articles covered an approximately 40 years-study period (1979–2017), with a total 294 patient population. DSF diagnosis occurred between the fifth and tenth postoperative day. Main DSF-related complications were sepsis, abdominal abscess, wound infection, pneumonia, and intra-abdominal bleeding. DSF treatment was divided into four categories: conservative (101 cases), endoscopic (4 cases), percutaneous (82 cases), and surgical (157 cases). Length of hospitalization was 21–39 days, ranging from 1 to 1035 days. Healing time was 19–63 days, ranging from 1 to 1035 days. DSF-related mortality rate recorded 18.7%. Conclusions DSF is a rare but potentially lethal complication after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Early DSF diagnosis is crucial in reducing DSF-related morbidity and mortality. Conservative and/or endoscopic/percutaneous treatments is/are the first choice. However, if the patient clinical condition worsens, surgery becomes mandatory and duodenostomy appears to be the most effective surgical procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the first laparoscopic gastrectomy was performed in 1991, there was a long delay until it was incorporated into the regular practice of western surgeons. In Brazil, there are only few case series reported and data on its safety and efficacy along with mid- and long-term results are desired. OBJECTIVE Present the mid-term results of laparoscopic gastrectomy with curative intent in the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma and review the current evidence on the therapy of this neoplasia with the laparoscopic access. METHODS Patients who underwent D2 laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 59.2 years and the mean body mass index was 24.2 kg/m2. Subtotal gastrectomy was performed in 73.9%. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 36.7, increased lymph node count and shorter operative time were observed in the last 34 cases. Median hospital stay was 8 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 22 (31.9%) cases. Surgical mortality was 4.3%. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic gastrectomy can be performed safely with excellent short- and mid-term results. As experience increases, surgical duration is reduced and lymph node count rises.

Surgical outcomes of gastrectomy with D1 lymph node dissection performed for patients with unfavorable clinical conditions. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2019; 45:460-465. [PMID: 30497814 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2018.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2018] [Revised: 10/16/2018] [Accepted: 11/18/2018] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) patients with advanced age and/or multiple morbidities have limited expected survival and may not benefit from extended lymph node resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes of these GC patients who underwent gastrectomy with D1 dissection. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all GC patients who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent from 2009 to 2017. The decision to perform D1 was based on preoperative multidisciplinary meeting, and/or intraoperative clinical judgment. RESULTS Among 460 enrolled patients, 73 (15.9%) underwent D1 lymphadenectomy and 387 (84.1%) D2 lymphadenectomy. Male gender, older age, American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA) III/IV, higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) were more common in the D1 group. Postoperative major complications were significantly higher in D1 group (24.7% vs 12.4%, p < 0.001) and mostly related to clinical complications. Locoregional recurrence was higher in the D1 group (53.8% vs 39.5%, p = 0.330) however, without statistical significance. No difference was found in disease-free survival (DFS) between D1 and D2 patients with positive lymph nodes (p = 0.192), whereas overall survival was longer in the D2 group (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed a statistically significant impact on survival of age ≥70 years, CCI ≥5, total gastrectomy, D1 lymphadenectomy and advanced stages (III/IV). CONCLUSIONS Frail patients had high surgical mortality even when submitted to D1 dissection. DFS was comparable to D2. Extent of lymphadenectomy in high-risk patients should take in account the expectation of a decrease in surgical risk with the possibility of impairment of long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conversion therapy in gastric cancer (GC) is defined as the use of chemotherapy/radiotherapy followed by surgical resection with curative intent of a tumor that was prior considered unresectable or oncologically incurable. AIM To evaluate the results of conversion therapy in the treatment of GC. METHODS Retrospective analysis of all GC surgeries between 2009 and 2018. Patients who received any therapy before surgery were further identified to define the conversion group. RESULTS Out of 1003 surgeries performed for GC, 113 cases underwent neoadjuvant treatment and 16 (1.6%) were considered as conversion therapy. The main indication for treatment was: T4b lesions (n=10), lymph node metastasis (n=4), peritoneal carcinomatosis and hepatic metastasis in one case each. The diagnosis was made by imaging in 14 cases (75%) and during surgical procedure in four (25%). The most commonly used chemotherapy regimens were XP and mFLOX. Major surgical complications occurred in four cases (25%) and one (6.3%) died. After an average follow-up of 20 months, 11 patients (68.7%) had recurrence and nine (56.3%) died. Prolonged recurrence-free survival over 40 months occurred in two cases. CONCLUSION Conversion therapy may offer the possibility of prolonged survival for a group of GC patients initially considered beyond therapeutic possibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Surgery remains the cornerstone treatment modality for gastric cancer, the fifth most common type of tumor in Brazil. The aim of this study was to analyze the surgical treatment outcomes of patients with gastric cancer who were referred to a high-volume university hospital. METHODS We reviewed all consecutive patients who underwent any surgical procedure due to gastric cancer from a prospectively collected database. Clinicopathological characteristics, surgical and survival outcomes were evaluated, with emphasis on patients treated with curative intent. RESULTS From 2008 to 2017, 934 patients with gastric tumors underwent surgical procedures in our center. Gastric adenocarcinoma accounted for the majority of cases. Of the 875 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, resection with curative intent was performed in 63.5%, and palliative treatment was performed in 22.4%. The postoperative surgical mortality rate for resected cases was 5.3% and was related to D1 lymphadenectomy and the presence of comorbidities. Analysis of patients treated with curative intent showed that resection extent, pT category, pN category and final pTNM stage were related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The DFS rates for D1 and D2 lymphadenectomy were similar, but D2 lymphadenectomy significantly improved the OS rate. Additionally, clinical factors and the presence of comorbidities had influence on the OS. CONCLUSIONS TNM stage and the type of lymphadenectomy were independent factors related to prognosis. Early diagnosis should be sought to offer the optimal surgical approach in patients with less-advanced disease.

Risk assessment of lymph node metastases in early gastric adenocarcinoma fulfilling expanded endoscopic resection criteria. Gastrointest Endosc 2018; 88:912-918.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Early gastric cancer (EGC) is known to present a low rate of lymph node metastases (LNMs). Gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is usually curative for EGC. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a well-accepted treatment modality for lesions that meet the classic criteria: those mucosal differentiated adenocarcinoma measuring 20 mm or less, without ulceration. Expanded criteria for ESD have been proposed based on a null LNM rate from large gastrectomy series from Japan. Patients with LNM have been reported in Western centers, heightening the need for validation of expanded criteria. Our aim was to assess the risk of LNM in gastrectomy specimens of patients with EGC who met the expanded criteria for ESD. METHODS We conducted an evaluation of gastrectomy specimens including LNM staging of patients submitted to gastrectomy for EGC in a 39-year retrospective cohort. RESULTS A total of 389 surgical specimens were included. From them, 135 fulfilled criteria for endoscopic resection. None of the 31 patients with classic criteria had LNM. From the 104 patients with expanded criteria, 3 had LNM (n = 104 [2.9%], 95% confidence interval, .7%-8.6%), all of them with undifferentiated tumors without ulceration, measuring less than 20 mm. CONCLUSIONS There is a small risk of LNM in EGC when expanded criteria for ESD are met. Refinement of the expanded criteria for the risk of LNM may be desirable in a Brazilian cohort. Meanwhile, the decision to complement the endoscopic treatment with gastrectomy will have to take into consideration the individual risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality.
