Abstract

Background

The incidence of internal hernia after gastrectomy can increase with the increasing use of laparoscopic surgery, although this trend has not been elucidated.

Methods

Clinical information was collected from medical records and by questionnaire for 18 patients who underwent surgical treatment for internal hernia after gastrectomy for gastric cancer in 24 hospitals from January 2005 to December 2009.

Results

Gastrectomy for gastric cancer was open/distal gastrectomy (DG) in five (28%) patients, open/total gastrectomy (TG) in seven (39%), laparoscopy-assisted/DG in three (17%), and laparoscopy-assisted/TG in 3 (17%). Reconstruction was by Roux-Y methods in all patients. The hernia orifice was classified as a jejunojejunostomy mesenteric defect in eight patients (44%), dorsum of the Roux limb (Petersen’s space) in eight (44%), and one (5%) each of esophageal hiatus and mesenterium of the transverse colon. Among 8,983 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer, a postoperative survey revealed that 13 patients underwent surgical treatment for internal hernia in the same hospitals. The 3-year incidence rate of the internal hernia was 0.19%, which was significantly higher after laparoscopy-assisted than open gastrectomy (0.53 vs. 0.15%, p = 0.03). Patients with an internal hernia had a mean (±SD) low weight at hernia operation (body mass index 17.9 ± 1.6 kg/m2) and marked weight loss after gastrectomy (weight reduction 15.6 ± 5.8%).

Conclusions

Gastrectomy with Roux-Y reconstruction for gastric cancer leaves several spaces that can cause internal hernia formation. Laparoscopic surgery and postoperative body weight loss are potential risk factors.

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.
