Abstract

Background

The impact of postoperative complications on recurrence rate and long-term outcome has been reported in patients with colorectal and esophageal cancer, but not in patients with gastric cancer. This study evaluated the impact of postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications on long-term survival following curative gastrectomy.

Methods

This study included 765 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer between 2002 and 2006. Patients were divided into 2 groups: with (C-group, n = 81) or without (NC-group, n = 684) intra-abdominal infectious complications. Survival curves were compared between the groups, and multivariate analysis was conducted to identify independent prognostic factors.

Results

Male patients were dominant, and total gastrectomy was frequently performed in the C-group. The pathological stage was more advanced and D2 lymph node dissection and splenectomy were preferred in the C-group. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was better in the NC-group (86.8 %) than in the C-group (66.4 %; P < .001). The 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rate was also better in the NC-group (84.5 %) than in the C-group (64.9 %; P < .001). This trend was still observed in stage II and III patients after stratification by pathological stage. Multivariate analysis identified intra-abdominal infectious complication as an independent prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio, 2.448; 95 % confidence interval [95 % CI], 1.475–4.060) and RFS (hazard ratio, 2.219; 95 % CI, 1.330–3.409) in patients with advanced disease.

Conclusions

Postoperative intra-abdominal infectious complications adversely affect OS and RFS. Meticulous surgery is needed to decrease the complication rate and improve the long-term outcome of patients following curative gastrectomy.

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. 

Recycling im OP – möglich, aber teuer

05.05.2024 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.

Im OP der Zukunft läuft nichts mehr ohne Kollege Roboter

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.

Nur selten Nachblutungen nach Abszesstonsillektomie

03.05.2024 Tonsillektomie Nachrichten

In einer Metaanalyse von 18 Studien war die Rate von Nachblutungen nach einer Abszesstonsillektomie mit weniger als 7% recht niedrig. Nur rund 2% der Behandelten mussten nachoperiert werden. Die Therapie scheint damit recht sicher zu sein.

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.
