Abstract

Objective

The need to achieve a tumor-free margin of ≥1 mm (R0) for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after hepatic resection has been questioned recently. This study conducted a meta-analysis to determine whether status of the surgical margin still influenced the long-term outcome of survival and recurrence rate.

Methods

Eligible trials that compared survival and recurrence rates of R0 versus the tumor-free margin <1 mm (R1) were identified from Embase, PubMed, the Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library since their inception to 1 March 2015. The study outcomes included long-term outcome of survival and recurrence rate. Hazard ratio (HR) with a 95 % confidence interval was used to measure the pooled effect according to a random-effects model or fixed-effects model, depending on the heterogeneity among the included studies. The heterogeneity among these trials was statistically evaluated using the χ 2 and I 2 tests. Sensitivity analyses and publication bias were also carried out.

Results

A total of 18 studies containing 6790 patients were included. The comparison between R1 and R0 revealed that a pooled HR for 5-year overall survival was 1.603 (95 % CI; 1.464–1.755; p = 0.000; I 2 = 31.2 %, p = 0.141). For patients received modern chemotherapy; a pooled HR of R1 resection for 5-year overall survival was 1.924 (95 % CI; 1.567–2.361, p = 0.000; I 2 = 20.5 %, p = 0.273). The pooled HR for 5-year OS of ≥1 cm in the included studies calculated using the random-effects model was 0.819 (95 % CI; 0.715–0.938, p = 0.004; I 2 = 0 %, p = 0.492).

Conclusions

R1 resections decreased long-term survival, and modern chemotherapy did not alter an adverse outcome. Surgeons should attempt to obtain a 1-cm margin.

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.
