Abstract

Purpose

The total mesorectal excision (TME), embedded in a multimodal therapeutic concept, is accepted as the standard therapy of the advanced adenocarcinoma of the middle and lower thirds. The thermal damages of the autonomous nerves in the little pelvis caused by dissection devices remains a large problem. For our patients, we use water-jet dissection (WJD)-aided TME with the intention to minimise the rate of bladder and sexual function disorders.

Methods

From October 2001 until June 2010, we recorded 125 patients with an adenocarcinoma of the middle and lower third of the rectum. Ninety deep anterior rectum resections and 35 abdominoperineal rectum extirpations by WJD were performed. Of the patients, 27.2 % received neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy. Bladder and sexual function disorders were assessed by International Prostate Symptom Score and International Index of Erectile Function.

Results

The median follow-up period was 46 (2–117) months. Considering a local recurrence rate of 9.6 %, the tumour-specific 5-year survival of the entire collective was 75.4 %. Long-term bladder function disorders showed in 6.0 % (4/64) and sexual function disorders in 25.0 % (9/36) of the male patients in the course of time.

Conclusion

The specific advantage of the WJD technique is not only the facilitated dissection between the mesorectal fascia and the surrounding nervous structures in the little pelvis but also a completely athermal TME. The rate of bladder and sexual function disorders is an excellent result compared to that of international centres. Due to the size of the patient collective and the retrospective character of the study, further studies are necessary to validate the presented results.

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.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

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?
