青海地区残胃癌患者的临床特征与预后分析

目的:探讨青海地区残胃癌(GSC)患者的临床病理特征及预后。方法:回顾性分析2012年1月—2018年10月就诊于青海大学附属医院胃肠外科、青海省人民医院肿瘤外科的102例GSC患者临床资料。结果:102例GSC患者中,首次疾病为良性者20例(19.6%),首次疾病为恶性者82例(80.4%)。首次术后至GSC发生的时间间隔,首次疾病为良性者为204(108～481)个月,首次疾病为恶性者为38(5～204)个月,前者GSC均发生于首次术后60个月后,后者大多数(84.2%)发生于首次术后60个月以内,且两者在首次手术方式、消化道重建方式的构成比方面存在统计学差异(均P0.05)。首次疾病为良性者GSC主要发生于非吻合口(60.0%),而首次疾病为恶性者主要发生于吻合口(68.3%),差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。102例患者中,行根治性手术11例(10.8%),姑息性手术19例(18.6%),未手术72例(70.6%)。83例获随访1～50个月,全组GSC患者3年总体生存率为25.5%,患者的生存率与首次疾病的良、恶性无关(P=0.086),而与GSC的病理组织分型、有无合并症以及CEA、CA19-9水平有关(均P0.05)。结论:GSC的发生与首次手术方式及首次消化道重建方式有关,不同首次疾病性质患者GSC发生的间隔时间及发生部位不同;GSC预后差,GSC的病理组织分型、合并症及部分肿瘤标志物水平对GSC患者的预后有显著的影响。     

进展期胃上部癌患者行腹腔镜保脾脾门淋巴结环周清扫术的安全性及疗效分析

目的:探讨进展期胃上部癌患者行腹腔镜保脾脾门淋巴结环周清扫术的安全性及疗效。方法:回顾性分析2014年1月—2018年1月福建省莆田市第一医院胃肠外科一区169例行腹腔镜下保脾脾门淋巴结清扫术的进展期胃上部癌患者资料,其中92例仅清扫脾门前方淋巴结(对照组),另77例行脾门环周清扫,即在常规清扫脾门前方淋巴结的同时加做脾门后方的淋巴结清扫(观察组)。比较两组患者的相关临床指标。结果:两组患者的基线具可比性。两组在总手术时间、术中出血量、术后排气时间、术后进流质时间、术后住院时间、阳性淋巴结数方面均无统计学差异(均P0.05);与对照组比较,观察组脾门淋巴结清扫时间显明显延长,但淋巴结清扫总数、收获脾门淋巴结阳性患者例数、脾门淋巴结清扫数目均增加(均P0.05)。两组并发症发生率无统计学差异(P0.05),两组均无围手术期死亡病例。结论:进展期胃上部癌患者行腹腔镜保脾脾门淋巴结环周清扫术安全可行,同时能够避免脾门阳性淋巴结的遗漏。     

Gait changes after weight loss on adolescent with severe obesity after sleeve gastrectomy

BackgroundIt has been highlighted that obesity influences the gait reducing walking velocity, stride length, ankle dorsal flexion at initial contact and ankle power generation. Meanwhile, step width, double support, hip flexion, knee extension during stance, hip moment and ankle power absorption was described increased. A tendency to the normalization of these parameters occur when subjects reduced their weight during growth.ObjectiveWe studied the effect of fast weight loss due to Sleeve Gastrectomy on gait pattern of adolescent with severe obesity. The aim is to assess the functional benefit of the surgery.SettingPediatric hospital, public health, Italy.Methods11 patients before and after 1 year from surgery and 10 controls participated to the study. We studied the gait with an optoelectronic system and two force plates. We evaluated both kinetics and kinematics of walking. Then we looked at the differences between the pre- vs post-surgery and with the control group.ResultsStep length and velocity were lower and step width was bigger in adolescent with obesity. Kinematic and kinetic parameters were altered. After surgery we observed the reduction of several gait alteration. Meanwhile, after 1 year alterations at the level of the foot, the knee and the pelvis persist.ConclusionThe sudden loss of weight highlighted the presence of long-term effects on the locomotor system. The results discourage intense walking activities before the weight loss and we suggest further studies for evaluating the necessity of a rehabilitative intervention.     

Sexual Activity After Bariatric Surgery: A Prospective Monocentric Study Using the PISQ-IR Questionnaire

IntroductionObesity can lead to pelvic floor disorders, interfering with women’s sexual life; Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-International Urogynecology Association–Revised (PISQ-IR) is a new instrument to measure sexual life in women with pelvic floor disorders.AimsTo assess the utility of using PISQ-IR in morbidly obese women undergoing bariatric surgery and to show the improvement of bariatric surgery on sexuality.MethodsThis prospective monocentric study included all women who underwent bariatric surgery from June 2016–May 2017. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) was performed by 1 surgeon, and data were collected by 1 researcher. Demographics, medical history, number of deliveries, and type of bariatric surgery (SG or RYGB) were collected at baseline. At the 1-year follow-up consultation, postoperative complications, percentage of total body weight loss (TWL) and percentage excess weight loss were assessed. Questionnaires were given at baseline and at 1-year follow-up.Main Outcome MeasuresPostoperative complications and total weight loss were measured at the 1-year follow-up. Sexual activity, using the PISQ-IR, and pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and anal incontinence, using the urinary symptom profile and PFDI (Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory) 20, were compared before surgery and at 1-year follow-up.Results72 patients were included at baseline, 54 (75%) were considered for final analysis (30 RYGB and 24 SG), and 51 patients were considered for PISQ-IR. The mean preoperative body mass index was 41 ± 5.4 kg/m², and mean age was 43 ± 11.8 years. Both procedures induced an important weight loss (mean TWL of 33%) and had a similar percentage of TWL for each procedure: 31 (15–46) for SG vs 34 (9–51) for RYGB. 9 patients (17 [6%]) became sexually active 1 year after surgery. For the sexually inactive population after 1 year, there was no differences in the PISQ-IR in the follow-up. When body mass index loss was >13 kg/m², a higher percentage of the sexually active population improved their different scores, and there were significant results for both global quality of life and desire (P = .026 and .046). The other questionnaires showed a significant decrease in urinary incontinence symptoms (P < .001) associated with weight loss, whereas there was no difference in terms of pelvic organ prolapse or anal incontinence.ConclusionPISQ-IR is a useful instrument to measure sexual function regarding pelvic floor disorders. Bariatric surgery improves sexual activity in obese women 1 year after surgery.Treacy PJ, Mazoyer C, Falagario U, et al.

食管空肠overlap与π形吻合术后短期疗效及患者生活质量的对比研究

目的:对比全腹腔镜全胃切除术后食管空肠overlap吻合与π形吻合术的短期疗效及患者生活质量。方法:回顾性收集2012年1月—2017年8月期间符合要求的104例接受全腹腔镜全胃切除的胃腺癌患者临床资料,其中59例行食管空肠overlap吻合(overlap吻合组),45例行π形吻合(π形吻合组),比较两组患者的临床数据及其术前与术后1年的生活质量调查问卷资料。结果:两组患者术前资料具有可比性。π形吻合组平均吻合时间明显短于overlap吻合组(28.9 min vs.41.5 min,P0.05),但两组平均手术时间无明显差异(287.6 min vs. 315.6min,P0.05)。两组在术中失血量、切口长度、术后短期疗效及术后1年营养状况、生活质量方面均无统计学差异(均P0.05)。结论:全腹腔镜全胃切除术食管空肠overlap吻合与π形吻合均安全可行。吻合方式的不同并没有对术后短期疗效及患者生活质量产生明显影响。在临床工作中,可根据患者具体身体状况及肿瘤的生长部位等因素对两种吻合方法的应用进行选择。     

Banded versus nonbanded sleeve gastrectomy: 5-year results of a matched-pair analysis

BackgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) achieves excellent weight loss, yet recent reports indicate weight regain in a substantial number of patients.ObjectivesInserting a nonadjustable gastric band may improve weight loss after SG.SettingUniversity Hospital, Germany.MethodsIn a retrospective matched-pair analysis 51 patients who underwent banded SG (BSG) using a silicone ring between November 2010 and May 2017 were compared with patients who underwent conventional SG regarding weight loss, complications, and co-morbidity. Median follow-up was 5 years.ResultsTotal weight loss was equal in the early follow-up (P = .118 and P = .111) but significantly better in BSG 3 and 5 years after surgery (BSG versus SG at 3 yr 38.7% ± 7.8, n = 33 versus 31.9 ± 10.7, n = 33, P = .002; BSG versus SG at 5 yr 37.6% ± 8.5, n = 27 versus 29.5 ± 12.9, n = 23, P = .008). Ring placement had no significant impact on clinical reflux signs (Fisher's exact test P > .999), yet 37 % of BSG patients reported ≥1 regurgitation per week (Fisher's exact test P = .013, odds ratio 12.4).ConclusionBSG leads to better weight loss than nonbanded SG 5 years after surgery. This comes at the expense of a higher rate of regurgitation. At a time in which weight loss limitations of a stand-alone SG are becoming a clinical problem, banding the sleeve may be a strategy to improve weight loss with this procedure.     

Megaduodenum associated with gastric strongyloidiasis

Gastric strongyloidiasis and megaduodenum are rare diseases. Gastrointestinal (GI) strongyloidiasis has many clinical features. One of them is megaduodenum. We describe a case of a 32-years-old man who has come to us from an endemic area for Strongyloides stercoralis. He had had megaduodenum diagnosed in his childhood. We submitted him to two surgeries. He has recovered just after the second surgery, a Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy. After that, his follow-up was uneventful and the patient has gained 10 kg in weight. Histopathology confirmed gastric strongyloidiasis. In conclusion, if patients arrive from an endemic area of S. stercoralis and if they present GI symptoms or a previous diagnosis of megaduodenum, they must be considered for a histological evaluation for gastric strongyloidiasis.
