Abstract

Purpose

Identifying the lymphatic drainage pathway is important for accurate lymph node (LN) dissection in esophageal cancer (EC). This study aimed to assess lymphatic drainage mapping in thoracic EC using near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) and identify its feasibility for intraoperative LN drainage visualization and dissection.

Methods

From November 2019 to August 2020, esophagectomy was performed using intraoperative NIRF navigation with ICG injected into the esophageal submucosa by endoscopy. All LNs were divided into four groups according to the NIRF status and presence of metastasis: NIRF⁺LN⁺, NIRF⁺LN⁻, NIRF⁻LN⁺, and NIRF⁻LN⁻.

Results

Regional LNs were detected in all 84 enrolled patients with thoracic EC. A total of 2164 LNs were removed, and the mean number of dissected LNs was 25.68 ± 12.00. NIRF⁺ LNs were observed in all patients and distributed at 19 LN stations, which formed lymphatic drainage maps. The top five LN stations of NIRF⁺ probability in upper thoracic EC were No. 7, 106ecR, 107, 1, and 106recL; in middle thoracic EC, they were No. 107, 7, 110, 1, and 105; and in lower thoracic EC, they were No. 107, 7, 110, 106recR, and 1. There were no cases of ICG-related adverse events or chylothorax. The 30-day mortality rate was 0%. Major complications included anastomotic fistula (7.14%), pneumonia (4.76%), pleural effusion (13.10%), atelectasis (3.75%), hoarseness (8.33%), and arrhythmia (4.76%).

Conclusion

Regional LN mapping of thoracic EC was performed using ICG/NIRF imaging, which showed different preferred LN drainage stations in various anatomical locations of the thoracic esophagus. ICG/NIRF imaging is feasible for intraoperative LN drainage visualization and dissection.

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?

04.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

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.
