Abstract

Background

Laparoscopic gastrostomy is the best alternative for long-term enteral feeding when percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is not possible. The aim of the present study was to determine the feasibility, complications, adequacy of feeding support, and tolerability of laparoscopic Witzel gastrostomy (LWG) in head and neck cancer patients. The initial results and the results of extended follow-up were evaluated.

Methods

A consecutive series of 48 patients with stenotic head and neck or esophageal cancer were referred for laparoscopic gastrostomy. The patients consisted of 42 men and 6 women aged 36 to 82 years (mean, 54 years). After laparoscopic placement of a Foley catheter of 16 F into the stomach, a seromuscular tunnel 4 cm in length is created, embedding the catheter by interrupted sutures. Three stay sutures for gastropexy are fixed and tied on the abdominal skin at the end of the procedure. The mean duration of the procedure was 62.4 ± 11 min (52–124 min).

Results

Laparoscopic Witzel gastrostomy could be performed successfully in all patients with aerodigestive cancer. None of the laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement procedures was converted to an open surgery, and none of the 48 patients in this series died as a result of the laparoscopic procedure. All LWG complications (11%) were minor, consisting of superficial wound infections, balloon rupture, and chronic granulation. No major complications were encountered. The mean usage time of gastrostomy was 6.3 ± 5.3 months.

Conclusions

Current techniques of LWG could be an alternative to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for long-term enteral access, because it has proved to be safe and reproducible with relatively few complications.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis 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.

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ 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?
