Abstract

Background

Endoluminal loco-regional resection (ELRR) by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) may be an alternative treatment option to Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LTME), in selected patients with N0 rectal cancer. Post-operative quality of life (QoL) evaluation is an important parameter of outcomes related to high percentage of functional sequelae. We reported, in a previous paper, the short and medium term results of QoL in patients who underwent ELRR or LTME. The aim is to evaluate the 3 year QoL in patients with iT2–T3 N0/+ rectal cancer who underwent ELRR by TEM or LTME after neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy (nChRT) in a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.

Methods

We enrolled in this study, 39 patients with iT2–T3 rectal cancer who underwent ELRR (n = 19) or LTME (n = 20), according to predefined criteria. QoL was evaluated by EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR38 questionnaires at admission, after n-RCT and 1, 6, 12, and 36 months after surgery.

Results

No statistically significant differences in QoL evaluation were observed between the two groups, both at admission and after n-RCT. In short term (1–6 months) period, significantly better results were observed in ELRR group by QLQ-C30 in global health status (p = 0.03), physical functioning (p = 0.026), role functioning (p = 0.04), emotional functioning (p = 0.04), cognitive functioning, fatigue (p < 0.05), dyspnoea (p < 0.001), insomnia (p < 0.05), appetite loss (p < 0.05), constipation (≤ 0.05), and by QLQ-CR38 in: body image (p = 0.03) and defecation (p = 0.025). At 1 year, the two groups were homogenous as assessed by QLQ-C30, whereas the QLQCR38 still showed better results of ELRR versus LTME in body image (p = 0.006), defecation problems (p = 0.01), and weight loss (p = 0.005). At 3 years, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups.

Conclusions

In selected patients with rectal cancer, who underwent ELRR by TEM or LTME, QoL tests at 3 years do not show any statistical differences on examined items.

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.
