Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery for an esophageal hiatal hernia with incarcerated transverse colon presenting after laparoscopic gastrectomy: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2023; 9:40. [PMID: 36939992 PMCID: PMC10027969 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-023-01621-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal hiatal hernia (EHH) presenting after gastrectomy for carcinoma is a type of internal hernia and very rare. There have been no published reports on the use of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) for the treatment of an incarcerated EHH that presented after a gastrectomy. Herein, we report a rare case of HALS performed for an incarcerated EHH presenting after a laparoscopic gastrectomy. CASE PRESENTATION This case report presents the case of a 66-year-old man who underwent hernia repair for an incarcerated hernia that presented after he underwent a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction for cancer in the esophagogastric junction. Emergency laparoscopic hernia repair was performed and herniation of the transverse colon into the left thoracic cavity through a hiatal defect was confirmed. Since it was difficult to return the transverse colon into the abdominal cavity using forceps, the procedure was converted to HALS and the transverse colon was pulled back into the abdominal cavity. The hernia defect was closed using a non-absorbable suture. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS The HALS approach provides the tactile experience of an open surgery combined with the benefits of a laparoscopic procedure such as good visualization and low invasiveness. In this case, when the transverse colon that had herniated into the left hemithorax was returned to the abdominal cavity, damage to the transverse colon was avoided by using the hand. Hence, HALS was safely performed to repair an incarcerated EHH after gastrectomy.

Hand-Assisted Versus Pure Minimally-Invasive Distal Pancreatectomy: Is There a Downside to Lending a Hand? World J Surg 2023; 47:750-758. [PMID: 36402918 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-022-06835-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hand-assisted laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (HALDP) is suggested to offer similar outcomes to pure laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP). However, given the longer midline incision, it is unclear whether HALDP increases the risk of postoperative hernia. Our aim was to determine the risk of postoperative incisional hernia development after HALDP. METHODS We retrospectively collected data from patients undergoing HALDP or LDP at a single center (2012-2020). Primary endpoints were postoperative incisional hernia and operative time. All patients had at minimum six months of follow-up. Outcomes were compared using unadjusted and multivariable regression analyses. RESULTS Ninety-five patients who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy were retrospectively identified. Forty-one patients (43%) underwent HALDP. Patients with HALDP were older (median, 67 vs. 61 years, p = 0.02). Sex, race, Body Mass Index (median, 27 vs. 26), receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, gland texture, wound infection rates, postoperative pancreatic fistula, overall complications, and hospital length-of-stay were similar between HALDP and LDP (all p > 0.05). In unadjusted analysis, operative times were shorter for HALDP (164 vs. 276 min, p < 0.001), but after adjustment, did not differ significantly (MR 0.73; 0.49-1.07, p = 0.1). Unadjusted incidence of hernia was higher in HALDP versus LDP (60% vs. 24%, p = 0.004). After adjustment, HALDP was associated with an increased odds of developing hernia (OR 7.52; 95% CI 1.54-36.8, p = 0.014). After propensity score matching, odds of hernia development remained higher for HALDP (OR 4.62; 95% CI 1.28-16.65, p = 0.031) p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Compared with LDP, HALDP was associated with increased likelihood of postoperative hernia with insufficient evidence that HALDP shortens operative times. Our results suggest that HALDP may not be equivalent to LDP.

Reverse rolling-mat type lymph node dissection is the key step to solve the operative difficulties in hand-assisted laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy. BMC Surg 2022; 22:2. [PMID: 34996415 PMCID: PMC8742461 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-021-01460-4] [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: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We have improved and named a new reverse rolling-mat type lymph node dissection, which effectively solves the dilemma faced by the traditional lymph node dissection in hand-assisted laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy through the optimization of the surgical procedure. However, the relevant clinical data are still scarce. The study aims to compare the clinical effects of two surgical procedure and explore the safety and feasibility of “reverse procedure”. Study design The clinicopathological data of 195 patients who underwent hand-assisted D2 radical total gastrectomy (HALTG) in our hospital from January 2011 to September 2017 were collected. A retrospective case–control study was used to compare the clinical outcomes of the two patterns of lymph node dissection. Among them, 89 patients underwent “cabbage type” lymph node dissection and 106 patients underwent the “reverse procedure” lymph node dissection. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups of patients in terms of gender, age, tumor location, incision length, postoperative hospitalization duration, pathological classification, recent complications, long-term recurrence and metastasis. The operation time of “cabbage type” group was shorter than that of “reverse procedure” group (178.35 ± 31.52 min vs 191.25 ± 32.77 min; P = 0.006). While, in the “reverse procedure” group, intraoperative blood loss was less (249.4 ± 143.12 vs 213.58 ± 101.43; P = 0.049), and there were more numbers of lymph nodes dissected (18.04 ± 7.00 vs 32.25 ± 14.23; P < 0.001). Conclusion The pattern of reverse rolling-mat type lymph node dissection in HALTG perform well in terms of safety and feasibility.

Comparison of Short-Term Outcomes Between Hand-assisted Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy and Laparoscopy-assisted Distal Gastrectomy in Gastric Cancer. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech 2021; 30:249-256.

Abstract
Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery is considered to provide the benefits of laparoscopic surgery in various diseases. However, limited information is available regarding the feasibility of hand-assisted laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (HALDG)-a subset of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery-as a gastric cancer treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of HALDG compared with laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG). Consecutive patients who underwent HALDG (n=58) or LADG (n=90) for stage I gastric cancer between 2005 and 2016 were eligible. Operative time was significantly shorter and blood loss was significantly higher in HALDG than in LADG (P<0.001, both). Postoperative aminotransferase levels were significantly lower in HALDG than in LADG (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in perioperative complications, a number of analgesics, postoperative C-reactive protein levels, and 3-year relapse-free and overall survival rates between the groups. This study suggests that HALDG is a safe and feasible approach and could become an effective option for stage I gastric cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different approaches used for laparoscopic right colectomy have different advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to determine the incidence and clinical relevance of IH after LARHC as the preferred technique in an experienced setting and to assess which factors are correlated with the development of IH. METHODS Between January 2012 and December 2016, all consecutive patients who underwent LARHC were included. Data were obtained in accordance with the Dutch ColoRectal Audit, and IH was scored based on physical examination and imaging at standard follow-up. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for IH. RESULTS A total of 170 patients underwent LARHC. In the same period, 64 patients had an open RHC. IH after LARHC was seen in 24 patients after a median time of 7 months (14%). Only four of these patients underwent operative IH repair (2%). Interestingly, a trend for more IH was seen between two surgeons. Multivariable analysis identified BMI [OR 1.08 (95% CI 1.00-1.15) P = 0.043], a history of smoking [OR 2.14 (95% CI 1.03-4.41) P = 0.040], and surgical site infection [OR 2.99 (95% CI 1.28-7.00) P = 0.012] as risk factors for IH. CONCLUSION IH incidence after LARHC was considerable, but few were clinically relevant IHs. The IH incidence should be included in shared decision making. The low clinically relevant IH rate does in our opinion not outweigh possible advantages of LARHC.

Abstract
Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia and rarely seen in adults. Surgical approach is required for BH, but the optimal method is still controversial. Hand assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) allowed us to clear the adhesions easily. HALS should be considered as one of the options for adult BH in selected patients.
Introduction Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia that generally occurs in infants and is rarely seen in adults. Surgical repair of BH is recommended, but the approach for repairing BH should be selected carefully in individual cases. It is well known that hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) has the advantage of preserving tactile sensation compared with standard laparoscopic surgery. We describe an adult patient with a history of abdominal incisional hernia who developed BH that was treated safely by HALS. Presentation of case An 87-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with nausea. She had a history of right hemicolectomy and repair of an abdominal incisional hernia using mesh at 5 years after hemicolectomy. Chest and abdominal computed tomography revealed herniation of the gastric corpus through the left posterior diaphragm. BH was diagnosed and hernia repair by HALS was selected as the approach because dense adhesions were expected in the abdominal cavity. The operation was performed safely and her postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion HALS was useful, especially when removing adhesions around the hernial orifice. HALS is a feasible approach for BH and should be considered as one of the options in patients with a history of previous abdominal surgery.
