Abstract

Background

After laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) for low or mid-rectal cancer, we observed several cases of anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients with side-to-end anastomosis (STE). Thus, from December 2018, we routinely performed end-to-end anastomosis (ETE). The aim of this study was to assess if this new strategy changed AL and chronic pelvic sepsis rates in our department.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted on all the patients who underwent a laparoscopic rectal resection with TME and sphincter-saving surgery for mid- and low-rectal adenocarcinoma from January 2006 to December 2019. A comparative study between STE and routine ETE was performed. The primary outcome was the assessment of postoperative AL rate. The secondary outcomes were: (a) overall morbidity rate; (c) severe morbidity rate defined by a Clavien–Dindo score > 3; (c) chronic leak rate.

Results

Five hundred eighteen patients underwent TME: STE was performed in 394 cases (76%) and ETE in 124 but for the first 66 cases only if STE was impossible (i.e., too short colon, obese patients). AL rates for STE were 57/204 (23%) after stapled colorectal anastomosis (CRA) and 34/190 (18%) after manual coloanal anastomosis (CAA). Since December 2018, routine ETE was performed in 58 cases. The AL rate for routine ETE was 3/24 (12%) for CRA, and 2/34 (6%) for CAA: thus, The AL rate dropped from 23% (91/394) after STE to 9% (5/58) after routine ETE (p = 0.0005). After a mean follow-up of 43 months (6–156), incidence of chronic AL was 68/394 (17%) after STE and 15/117 (13%) after ETE (p = 0.32). In the group of ETE with chronic AL, 11 patients (73%) spontaneously healed and stoma reversal was possible, whereas this happened in only 20 patients (29%) after STE (p = 0.0025).

Conclusions

ETE seems to be associated with a significantly lower rate of AL and higher rate of spontaneous healing after chronic AL than STE.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Wie sieht der OP der Zukunft aus?

04.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Der OP in der Zukunft wird mit weniger Personal auskommen – nicht, weil die Technik das medizinische Fachpersonal verdrängt, sondern weil der Personalmangel es nötig macht.

Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie läuft

03.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Seit November 2023 gibt es evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zum perioperativen Management bei gastrointestinalen Tumoren (POMGAT) auf S3-Niveau. Vieles wird schon entsprechend der Empfehlungen durchgeführt. Wo es im Alltag noch hapert, zeigt eine Umfrage in einem Klinikverbund.

Recycling im OP – möglich, aber teuer

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Auch wenn sich Krankenhäuser nachhaltig und grün geben – sie tragen aktuell erheblich zu den CO2-Emissionen bei und produzieren jede Menge Müll. Ein Pilotprojekt aus Bonn zeigt, dass viele Op.-Abfälle wiederverwertet werden können.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
