Abstract

Background

Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) was introduced as minimally invasive surgery for early gastric cancer (EGC) in Japan. This study investigated postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and associated risk factors of the procedure.

Methods

From January 2005 to December 2009, 798 patients with EGC diagnosed before surgery underwent LADG. Thirty-four patients developed postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF group), whereas the other 764 patients did not experience POPF (NPOPF group). POPF was defined and graded according to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula Definition (ISGPF). Patient characteristics and operative and postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. Risk factors associated with POPF were analyzed.

Results

POPF occurred in 34 (4.3%) patients; among them 3 developed grade C POPF, a complication that required aggressive clinical intervention, and only 1 underwent reoperation. Compared with the NPOPF group, the POPF group had higher percentage of male patients (88.2% vs. 60.5%, P = 0.001), higher mean body mass index (24.8 ± 2.5 kg/m2 vs. 22.5 ± 3.2 kg/m2, P < 0.001), longer mean operation time (251.3 ± 46.7 min vs. 229.7 ± 53.9 min, P = 0.022), higher postoperative complications (100% vs. 8.6%, P < 0.001), and longer mean postoperative hospital stay (29.6 ± 19.9 days vs. 12.6 ± 6.7 days, P < 0.001). Univariate and multivariate analysis identified sex and body mass index as risk factors associated with POPF after LADG.

Conclusions

LADG can be performed safely in patients with EGC in terms of the low incidence of POPF. To decrease the risk of POPF, LADG should be performed cautiously in male patients with high body mass index.

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?
