Purpose

This study was designed to examine the draining lymph node basin at highest risk of metastasis in lower rectal cancer using 99 mTc-tin colloid.

Methods

In 43 patients, the area with highest hot nodes density was defined as the draining lymph node basin using a gamma probe. Metastatic states of all removed lymph nodes were examined histologically.

Results

A total of 203 hot nodes were identified in 39 patients (91 percent) with a mean of 5.2 nodes. The number of removed lymph nodes was 808 nodes: 670 nodes in the mesorectum, and 138 nodes in the pelvis. In 21 patients, the metastatic states of 119 nodes were investigated histologically. From the distribution of the identified hot nodes, the draining lymph node basins were classified into two patterns: lateral type (n = 17), and mesorectal type (n = 22). Only 20 (17 percent) of 119 positive nodes were identified as hot node. Tumor cells that occupied the lymph node diffusely or massively probably interfered with the exact diagnosis of metastasis. Lymph node metastasis in the pelvis was observed in 5 patients (13 percent). One false negative was of the mesorectal type with diffuse metastases in the para-aortic lymph nodes. The remaining four patients were of the lateral type and all positive lymph nodes, including positive nonhot nodes, were located within the draining lymph node basin. Consequently, in 20 (95.2 percent) of 21 patients with lymph node metastasis, all positive lymph nodes were located within the draining lymph node basin of the tumor.

Conclusions

Two types of the draining lymph node basin of advanced lower rectal cancer were identified using this method. The concordance between lymph node metastases and the draining lymph node basin is good.

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.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

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?
