Abstract

Purpose

The clinical benefits of robotic surgery for patients with rectal cancer have been reported and many systematic reviews have been published. However, they have investigated a variety of outcomes and differ remarkably in quality. In this overview, we summarize the findings of these reviews and evaluate their quality.

Methods

The PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were comprehensively searched to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses that compared robotic and laparoscopic surgery. We assessed the quality of the reviews using the AMSTAR-2 tool.

Results

The literature search identified 17 eligible reviews, all of which reported that the incidence of conversion to open surgery was lower for robotic surgery than for laparoscopic surgery. Most of the reviews reported no difference in the other outcomes between robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery. However, the quality of the reviews was judged to be low or critically low.

Conclusions

Critically low quality evidence suggests that robotic surgery for rectal cancer decreases the likelihood of conversion to open surgery, but other clinical benefits remain unclear. High-quality systematic reviews in which selection of high-quality studies is combined with adequate methodology are needed to clarify the true efficacy of robotic surgery for rectal cancer.

Neu im Fachgebiet Chirurgie

Antibiotika bei Erwachsenen mit Appendizitis oft ausreichend

Bei etwa zwei Drittel aller Erwachsenen mit akuter Appendizitis könnte eine antibiotische Behandlung ausreichen, wie eine Metaanalyse nahelegt. Die Komplikationsrate war insgesamt gering, auch wenn letztlich doch eine Op. fällig wurde.

Katheterablation bei Vorhofflimmern: Ist frühe Intervention von Vorteil?

Bei Patienten mit Vorhofflimmern scheinen die Therapieergebnisse bezüglich Rezidivfreiheit bei frühzeitiger Katheterablation besser zu sein als bei später erfolgter Ablation. Dafür sprechen Ergebnisse einer aktuellen Registeranalyse. 

Beugt Tranexamsäure schweren Blutungen auch in der Allgemeinchirurgie vor?

Ergebnisse einer Subgruppenanalyse der POISE-3-Studie sprechen dafür, dass eine Prophylaxe mit Tranexamsäure auch bei allgemeinchirurgischen Eingriffen das Risiko für schwere Blutungen senkt.

Höhere Anspannung vor der Op. führt offenbar zu besserem Ergebnis

Ein gewisses Maß an Stress zu Beginn der Op. wirkt sich möglicherweise positiv auf das Gelingen aus, so ein Team aus Boston. Die Komplikationsrate ging unter diesen Umständen signifikant zurück.
