Visualization of cecal tumor by near-infrared laparoscopy and intraoperative colonoscopy. Surg Case Rep 2024; 10:164. [PMID: 38951358 PMCID: PMC11217229 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-024-01964-0] [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: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In laparoscopic colorectal surgery, accurate localization of a tumor is essential for ensuring an adequate ablative margin. Therefore, a new method, near-infrared laparoscopy combined with intraoperative colonoscopy, was developed for visualizing the contour of a cecal tumor from outside of the bowel. The method was used after it was verified on a model that employed a silicone tube. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 77-year-old man with a cecal tumor near the appendiceal orifice. Laparoscopy was used to clamp of the terminal ileum, and a colonoscope was then inserted through the anus to the cecum. The laparoscope in the normal light mode could not be used to identify the cecal tumor. However, a laparoscope in the near-infrared ray mode could clearly visualize the contour of the cecal tumor from outside of the bowel, and the tumor could be safely resected by a stapler. The histopathological diagnosis of the resected specimen was adenocarcinoma with an invasion depth of M and a clear negative margin. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of the laparoscopic detection of the contour of a cecal tumor from outside the bowel. This technique is useful and safe for contouring tumors in laparoscopic colorectal surgery and can be used in various surgeries that combine endoscopy and laparoscopy.

Standardization of robot-assisted pelvic lymph node dissection-Development of a common understanding of regional anatomy and surgical technique based on cross-disciplinary discussion among colorectal surgery, urology, and gynecology. Asian J Endosc Surg 2024; 17:e13274. [PMID: 38212269 DOI: 10.1111/ases.13274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic lymph node dissection is a procedure performed in gastroenterological surgery, urology, and gynecology. However, due to discrepancies in the understanding of pelvic anatomy among these departments, cross-disciplinary discussions have not been easy. Recently, with the rapid spread of robotic surgery, the importance of visual information in understanding pelvic anatomy has become even more significant. In this project, we attempted to clarify a shared understanding of pelvic anatomy through cross-disciplinary discussions. METHOD From May 2020 to November 2021, a total of 11 discussions were held entirely online with 5 colorectal surgery specialists, 4 urologists, and 4 gynecologists. The discussions focused on evidence from each specialty and surgical videos, aiming to create a universally understandable pelvic anatomical illustration. RESULTS The common area of dissection recognized across the three departments was identified as the obturator lymph nodes. A dynamic illustration of pelvic anatomy was created. In addition to a bird's-eye view of the pelvis, a pelvic half view was developed to enhance understanding of the deeper pelvic anatomy. The following insights were incorporated into the illustration: (1) the cardinal ligament in gynecology partly overlaps with the vesicohypogastric fascia in colorectal surgery; (2) the obturator lymph nodes continue cephalad into the fossa of Marcille in urology; and (3) the deep uterine vein in gynecology corresponds to the inferior vesical vein in colorectal surgery. CONCLUSION Based on the dynamic illustration of pelvic anatomy from cross-disciplinary discussions, we anticipate advancements in pelvic lymph node dissection aiming for curative and safe outcomes.

Abstract
Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) for prostate cancer (PCa) represents an innovative technique aimed at improving nodal staging accuracy. The routinary adoption of this procedure in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) might be crucial to identify candidates who could effectively benefit from extensive pelvic lymph nodal dissection (ePLND). Despite some promising results, SNB for PCa is still considered experimental due to the lack of solid evidence and procedural standardization. In this regard, our narrative review aimed to analyze the most recent literature in this field, providing an overview of both the diagnostic accuracy measures and the oncological outcomes of SNB.

Abstract
This comprehensive review aims to explore the applications of indocyanine green (ICG) in robot-assisted urological surgery through a detailed examination of fluorescence-guided techniques. An extensive literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus, using keywords such as "indocyanine green," "ICG", "NIRF", "Near Infrared Fluorescence", "robot-assisted", and "urology". Additional suitable articles were collected by manually cross-referencing the bibliography of previously selected papers. The integration of the Firefly® technology in the Da Vinci® robotic system has opened new avenues for the advancement and exploration of different urological procedures. ICG is a fluorophore widely used in near-infrared fluorescence-guided techniques. The synergistic combination of intraoperative support, safety profiles and widespread availability comprises an additional asset that empowers ICG-guided robotic surgery. This overview of the current state of the art illustrates the potential advantages and broad applications of combining ICG-fluorescence guidance with robotic-assisted urological surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence-guided surgery during open and laparoscopic procedures has exponentially expanded across various clinical settings. The European Association of Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) initiated a consensus development conference on this topic with the aim of creating evidence-based statements and recommendations for the surgical community. METHODS An expert panel of surgeons has been selected and invited to participate to this project. Systematic reviews of the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane libraries were performed to identify evidence on potential benefits of ICG fluorescence-guided surgery on clinical practice and patient outcomes. Statements and recommendations were prepared and unanimously agreed by the panel; they were then submitted to all EAES members through a two-rounds online survey and results presented at the EAES annual congress, Barcelona, November 2021. RESULTS A total of 18,273 abstracts were screened with 117 articles included. 22 statements and 16 recommendations were generated and approved. In some areas, such as the use of ICG fluorescence-guided surgery during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the perfusion assessment in colorectal surgery and the search for the sentinel lymph nodes in gynaecological malignancies, the large number of evidences in literature has allowed us to strongly recommend the use of ICG for a better anatomical definition and a reduction in post-operative complications. CONCLUSIONS Overall, from the systematic literature review performed by the experts panel and the survey extended to all EAES members, ICG fluorescence-guided surgery could be considered a safe and effective technology. Future robust clinical research is required to specifically validate multiple organ-specific applications and the potential benefits of this technique on clinical outcomes.

Comparison of neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy vs. extended pelvic lymph-node dissection in high-risk prostate cancer treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3436.

Abstract
We compared the impact of treatment strategies on postoperative complications and prognosis between robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) plus extended pelvic lymph-node dissection (ePLND) and RARP plus neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy (NCHT) without ePLND. We retrospectively evaluated 452 patients with high-risk prostate cancer (defined as any one of prostate-specific antigen ≥ 20 ng/mL, Gleason score 8-10, or cT2c-3) who were treated with RARP between January 2012 and February 2021. The patients were divided into two groups: RARP with ePLND (ePLND group) and NCHT plus RARP without ePLND (NCHT group). We compared the complication rate (Clavien-Dindo classification), biochemical recurrence-free survival, and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free survival between the groups. We performed multivariable Cox regression analysis using inverse probability weighting (IPTW) methods to assess the impact of the different treatments on prognosis. There were 150 and 302 patients in the ePLND and NCHT groups, respectively. The postoperative complication rate was significantly higher in the ePLND group than in the NCHT group (P < 0.001). IPTW-adjusted biochemical recurrence-free survival and CRPC-free survival were significantly higher in the NCHT group than in the ePLND group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.29, P < 0.001, and HR 0.29, P = 0.010, respectively). NCHT plus RARP without ePLND may reduce the risk of postoperative complications compared with ePLND during RARP. The impact of treatment strategies on oncological outcomes needs further studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although several clinical guidelines for prostate cancer (PC) recommend extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) during radical prostatectomy for high-risk cases, there are several issues to consider, including certain technical aspects. A simplified approach to the medial internal iliac region and paravesical arteries has not been established. The uretero-hypogastric nerve fascia (UHF) envelopes the ureter, hypogastric nerve, and pelvic autonomic nerves. To preserve the UHF, it is possible to approach the medial side of the internal iliac vessels without injuring any important tissue. We analyzed technical feasibility and lymph node (LN) yields. PATIENTS AND METHODS After obtaining institutional review board approval, 265 high-risk PC patients with ePLND were identified. A da Vinci S or Xi robotic surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) was used. We divided the patients into conventional (non-UHF) method and modified (UHF) groups. The numbers of LNs removed, procedure-related complications, and surgical outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS The median number of LNs removed was 19.0 in the non-UHF group and 22.0 in the UHF group (p = 0.004). Significantly more LNs were removed from the internal iliac region in the UHF group (p = 0.042). There was no difference in overall operative, console, or LN dissection time, or the severe complication rate (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III), between the non-UHF and UHF groups. CONCLUSIONS Our simplified approach using the UHF development technique is technically feasible, has no major complications, and allows for the removal of significantly more LNs compared with the conventional method.

[PMID: 36721695 PMCID: PMC9875158 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajur.2021.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Revised: 05/31/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Indocyanine green (ICG) with near-infrared fluorescence absorption is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for clinical applications in angiography, blood flow evaluation, and liver function assessment. It has strong optical absorption in the near-infrared region, where light can penetrate deepest into biological tissue. We sought to review its value in guiding prostate cancer treatment. Methods All related literature at PubMed from January 2000 to December 2020 were reviewed. Results Multiple preclinical studies have demonstrated the usefulness of ICG in identifying prostate cancer by using different engineering techniques. Clinical studies have demonstrated the usefulness of ICG in guiding sentinel node dissection during radical prostatectomy, and possible better preservation of neurovascular bundle by identifying landmark prostatic arteries. New techniques such as adding fluorescein in additional to ICG were tested in a limited number of patients with encouraging result. In addition, the use of the ICG was shown to be safe. Even though there are encouraging results, it does not carry sufficient sensitivity and specificity in replacing extended pelvic lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy. Conclusion Multiple preclinical and clinical studies have shown the usefulness of ICG in identifying and guiding treatment for prostate cancer. Larger randomized prospective studies are warranted to further test its usefulness and find new modified approaches.

Study on naked eye tracing of inguinal sentinel lymph nodes in penile cancer patients with carbon nanoparticle suspension injection. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1139986. [PMID: 36968821 PMCID: PMC10033702 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1139986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Exploratory study of the effect and clinical value of carbon nanoparticle suspension injection (CNSI) as a tracer for inguinal sentinel lymph nodes in penile cancer. Method We selected 29 patients with penile cancer in our department from January 2019 to October 2022. According to whether the CNSI tracer was injected during the pathological biopsy of the inguinal lymph nodes, the enrolled patients were assigned to the control group, the group in which CNSI was injected 12 h before the surgery (12HBS group) and the group in which CNSI was injected 0.5 h before the surgery (0.5HBS group). Evaluating the effectiveness of CNSI as a lymphatic tracer involves analyzing the following: its safety, the statistical analysis of the detection rate (DR) of different groups, the number of lymph nodes sent for each case (NOLNSFEC), the difference of positive rate of lymphatic metastasis (PROLM), and operation time (OT). Results The lymph nodes in the 12HBS group and 0.5HBS group had an obvious black staining appearance, and no adverse reactions or surgical complications were found. Most of the black-stained areas caused by CNSI injection were removed with penile excision, which did not affect the postoperative appearance. This did not affect the pathological analysis. The DR of lymph nodes in the 12HBS group was higher (p < 0.05) than that in the control group. More lymph nodes were removed for examination (p < 0.05), which improved the efficiency of surgery. Compared with the 12HBS group, the number of lymph nodes removed in the 0.5HBS group decreased (p < 0.05). The OT was shortened (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the DR and PROLM. Conclusion CNSI was applied to the naked-eye tracing of inguinal sentinel lymph nodes in penile cancer, which is safe and efficient. Injection of CNSI 0.5 h before surgery can help identify the "foremost position" of sentinel lymph nodes and reduce surgical trauma.

Abstract
Prostate cancer and bladder cancer accounts for approximately 13.5% and 3% of all male cancers and all newly diagnosed cancers (regardless sex), respectively. Thus, these cancers represent a major health and economic burden globally. The knowledge of lymph node status is an integral part of the management of any solid tumor. In the urological field, pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is of paramount importance in the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of prostate and bladder cancers. However, PLND may be associated with several comorbidities. In this narrative review, the most recent updates concerning the patterns and incidence of lymph node metastasis, the role of different imaging studies and nomograms in determining patients' eligibility for PLND, and the anatomical templates of PLND in urologic patients with bladder or prostate cancer will be discussed.

Performance of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence for Detecting Lymph Node Metastasis in Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2021; 19:466.e1-466.e9. [PMID: 34130916 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2021.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2021] [Revised: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The use of sentinel lymph node dissection in several cancers has been gaining attention with the emergence of indocyanine green fluorescence. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic performance of indocyanine green fluorescence in detecting lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer patients. METHODS A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS on November 30, 2020, to identify eligible studies. Studies were eligible if they investigated the diagnostic performance of indocyanine green fluorescence before pelvic lymph node dissection in prostate cancer patients and reported the number of true positives, false positives, false negatives, and true negatives on lymph node-based analysis in comparison to histopathologic findings in the dissected specimen. RESULTS Our systematic review covered 11 studies published between 2011 and 2020, with 519 patients, and our meta-analysis included 9 studies with 479 patients. Based on lymph node analysis of indocyanine green fluorescence, the results showed pooled sensitivity and specificity at 0.75 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49 to 0.90) and 0.66 (95% CI 0.61 to 0.70), respectively. The diagnostic odds ratio was 6.0 (95%CI 2 to 21). Several lymphatic drainage routes also showed sentinel lymph nodes localized outside the ordinal pelvic lymph node template. CONCLUSIONS We noted relatively low diagnostic performance for lymph node metastasis, suggesting that indocyanine fluorescence may not currently be a viable alternative to pelvic lymph node dissection in prostate cancer patients. However, this technique shows novel lymphatic drainage routes and underscores the importance of lymph nodes not removed in ordinary dissection.
