Abstract

Purpose

We conducted a prospective study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of postoperative enoxaparin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer (LAC) in Japanese patients.

Methods

The subjects of this multicenter, open-label randomized-controlled trial were 121 patients who underwent LAC between September 2015 and May 2017. The patients were randomly allocated to receive intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) with enoxaparin (20 mg, twice daily), started 24–36 h after surgery and continued until discharge (Enoxaparin group; n = 61), or IPC alone (IPC group; n = 60). The primary endpoint was the incidence of VTE on day 28 after surgery. The safety outcome was the incidence of any bleeding during treatment and follow-up.

Results

The incidence of VTE on day 28 after surgery was 12.3% (7/57 patients) in the enoxaparin group and 11.9% (7/59 patients) in the IPC group ((p = 1.00). One of the 57 patients (1.8%) in the enoxaparin group and none in the IPC group experienced a bleeding event.

Conclusions

It may be unnecessary to give enoxaparin to all Japanese patients for the prevention of VTE after LAC.
The UMIN Clinical Trials Registry number was UMIN000018633.

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.

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
