Abstract

Background

Intrahepatic recurrence is a major problem after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the most effective treatments for patients with intrahepatic recurrence still remain unclear. In addition, the selection of various treatment modalities such as repeat resection, local ablation therapy, and transarterial chemoembolization is only applicable to patients with intrahepatic nodular recurrence.

Methods

Of 353 patients who underwent curative resection, 97 patients with intrahepatic nodular recurrence were retrospectively studied. The prognostic factors for survival after recurrence and treatment modalities were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups, a control group and a progression group, according to their response to initial treatment for recurrent tumors.

Results

The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates after recurrence in patients with intrahepatic nodular recurrence were 91.0%, 71.0%, and 37.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that early recurrence (≤12 months), Child-Pugh class B or C at diagnosis of recurrence, and serum albumin level of ≤3.5 g/dL at diagnosis of recurrence were poor prognostic factors for survival after recurrence. With regard to the response to the initial treatment, time to recurrence of ≤12 months was found to be the only statistically significant risk factor for progression of disease in multivariate analysis.

Conclusions

Time to recurrence, which usually corresponds with the cellular origin of recurrence, seems to be more important when determining the prognosis of patients with recurrent disease and treatment response than treatment modality. Therefore, different treatment methods should be selected according to the time to recurrence of intrahepatic nodular recurrence.

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.

Das Webinar 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?
