Abstract

Background

The superiority of extended lymphadenectomy for the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) is still controversial. The authors hypothesized that extended lymphadenectomy could improve the overall survival (OS) of GC patients with a specific extent of lymph node metastasis.

Methods

Data from 456 GC patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy were used to illuminate the difference of OS between patients who underwent limited lymphadenectomy and patients who underwent extended lymphadenectomy.

Results

As a whole, there was no significant difference of OS between patients who underwent extended lymphadenectomy and patients who underwent limited lymphadenectomy in all 456 GC patients. However, we demonstrated that extended lymphadenectomy significantly improved the OS of GC patients with perigastric lymph node metastasis (n1 stage based on the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association classification) compared to limited lymphadenectomy (P = 0.023). Furthermore, the more the negative lymph nodes were, the longer the OS of GC patients with perigastric node metastasis following extended lymphadenectomy was (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

Extensive lymph node dissection and good harvest of negative lymph nodes should be deemed as the most important factors to improve the OS of GC patients with perigastric node metastasis.

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?

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.

Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
