ABSTRACT

Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) have an important impact on morbidity and mortality. Objective: This study, therefore, sought to assess the effect of a surgical care bundle on the incidence of SSI in colorectal surgery. Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental intervention study with reference to the introduction of a surgical care bundle in 2011. Our study population, made up of patients who underwent colorectal surgery, was divided into the following two periods: 2007-2011 (pre-intervention) and 2012-2017 (post-intervention). The intervention's effect on SSI incidence was analyzed using adjusted odds ratios (OR). Results: A total of 1,727 patients were included in the study. SSI incidence was 13.0% before versus 11.6% after implementation of the care bundle (OR: 0.88, 95% confidence interval: 0.66-1.17, p = 0.37). Multivariate analysis showed that cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, neutropenia, and emergency surgery were independently associated with SSI. In contrast, laparoscopic surgery proved to be a protective factor against SSI. Conclusions: Care bundles have proven to be very important in reducing SSI incidence since the measures that constitute these protocols are mutually reinforcing. In our study, the implementation of a care bundle reduced SSI incidence from 13% to 11.6%, though the reduction was not statistically significant.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El cáncer anal ha experimentado un aumento de incidencia en los últimos años. Está mediado por el VPH y precedido de cambios precancerosos planteando la posibilidad de dirigir los esfuerzos preventivos hacia los grupos de alto riesgo. Sigue siendo controvertida la indicación de cribado y los métodos de detección ideales. Objetivo: Validar las pruebas de cribado implementadas en la actualidad comparadas con la biopsia como "gold standard". Material y Métodos: Estudio transversal con recogida de datos prospectiva, en una cohorte de hombres VIH+ que tienen sexo con hombres, pertenecientes al Hospital Gregorio Marañón e Infanta Leonor en un periodo de 2 años. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 179 pacientes con 286 visitas a la consulta de screening en las que se llevaron a cabo 3 pruebas de cribado en paralelo (citología anal, genotipado del VPH y anoscopia de alta resolución (AAR) con toma de biopsia dirigida sobre zona sospechosa o aleatoria). La sensibilidad y especificidad para la detección de displasia de alto grado y cáncer y su grado de concordancia con la biopsia fue la siguiente: citología 3,23%/94,43% (k: 0,03), genotipado de VPH de alto riesgo 90,32%/27,45% (k: 0,05), AAR 32,26%/87,45 (k: 0, 17) siendo el rendimiento diagnóstico de las tres pruebas muy bajo. Conclusión: La citología presenta un rendimiento diagnóstico muy bajo comparado con el genotipado que representa el mayor. A la luz de nuestros resultados, los protocolos clínicos tal y como vienen desarrollándose en la actualidad deberían de ser abandonados.


Introduction: The incidence of anal cancer has increased in recent years. It is mediated by HPV and preceded by precancerous changes, raising the possibility of directing preventive efforts towards high-risk groups. The indication of screening remains controversial and which methods would be the ideal ones. Objective: To validate the screening tests established actually, comparing it with the biopsy considered as the "gold standard". Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed, with prospective data collection in a cohort of VIH+ patients, who have male homosexual anal relations, belonging to Gregorio Marañón and Infanta Leonor Hospitals in a period of 2 years. Results: A total of 179 patients were selected with 286 visits to the screening Outpatient Clinic in which 3 parallel screening tests were performed (anal cytology, HPV genotyping and high resolution anoscopy (AAR) with a biopsy directed on a suspicious or random area). The sensitivity and specificity for the detection of high-grade dysplasia and cancer and their degree of agreement with the biopsy was as follows: cytology 3.23%/94.43% (k: 0.03), high HPV genotyping. risk 90.32%/27.45% (k: 0.05), AAR 32.26%/87.45 (k: 0, 17), the diagnostic accuracy of the three tests being very low. Conclusion: Cytology shows a very low diagnostic accuracy compared to the genotype that represents the highest one. In light of our results, clinical protocols as they are currently being developed should be abandoned.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La perforación esofágica es una posible complicación de la artrodesis cervical anterior. Sin embargo, estas suelen ocurrir intraoperatoriamente o en el posoperatorio precoz. Caso clínico: Mujer de 35 años sometida, 3 años antes, a artrodesis de C3-C5, que tras sufrir un traumatismo leve con latigazo cervical, comienza con disfagia. Se objetiva un absceso retroesofágico por perforación esofágica, causado por rotura de la placa protésica y extrusión de un tornillo.


Introduction: Esophageal perforation is a possible complication after anterior cervical fusion. However, these complications usually appear intraoperatively or in the early postoperative course. Case report: A 35-years-old females, who underwent a C3-C5 anterior cervical fusion 3 years ago, after suffering a mild cervical trauma, she complained of dysphagia. A retroesophageal abscess was observed, caused by esophageal perforation, secondary to plaque rupture and screw extrusion.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción El espacio prevesical es una localización infrecuente de hernia. La hernia prevesical es causa infrecuente de obstrucción intestinal. Presentamos el caso de un paciente intervenido en nuestro centro y realizamos una revisión de la literatura. Caso clínico Varón de 67 años sin antecedentes médico- quirúrgicos de interés que acude a Urgencias por dolor suprapúbico de 24 h de evolución. A la exploración destacan distensión abdominal y dolor en la localización previamente descrita. Se realiza estudio analítico completo y TC abdominal, en el que se objetiva dilatación de asas del intestino delgado con cambio de calibre a nivel pélvico. Se decide realizar laparotomía exploradora: herniación de 25 cm de íleon de aspecto isquémico en el espacio prevesical. Se realiza resección intestinal y anastomosis enteroentérica L-L manual monoplano. El estudio anatomopatológico de la pieza quirúrgica no revela otros datos de interés. El paciente presenta buena evolución postoperatoria con tolerancia oral progresiva y es dado de alta al quinto día de la intervención. Conclusiones Las hernias del espacio prevesical son causa infrecuente de dolor abdominal y de obstrucción intestinal. Se localizan entre los ligamentos umbilicales laterales y el fundus de la vejiga, donde se forma un anillo peritoneal. Deben sospecharse ante dolor inguinal o supra-púbico sin tumoración palpable en el piso abdominal inferior. El diagnóstico es radiológico, mediante TC. El tratamiento es quirúrgico y ocasionalmente puede precisar resección intestinal.


Introduction Prevesical space is an infrequent location of hernias. Prevesical hernia is a rare cause of bowel obstruction. We present a case operated at our institution and review the available evidence in literature. Case report A 67-years-old mail, without any relevant medical history, came to the Emergency Department complaining of suprapubic pain during the last 24 h. Physical examination revealed abdominal distension and suprapubic pain. A CT scan revealed small bowel dilation with a gauge change in the pelvis. Exploring laparotomy was performed, observing a hernia in the prevesical space and 25 cm of ileal loops incarcerated with ischemic aspect. A small bowel resection and latero-lateral manual running suture anastomosis was performed. Histological findings were not relevant. The patient presented an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged the 5th day after surgery. Conclusions Hernias in the prevesical space are infrequent causes of abdominal pain and bowel obstruction. They are located between lateral umbilical ligaments and bladder fundus, where a ring is located. They must be suspected in cases of inguinal or suprapubic pain without palpable lump in the lower abdominal quadrants. Diagnosis can be only radiologically achieved, by CT scan. Surgical treatment is mandatory, often requiring bowel resection.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Presentación de un caso y revisión de la literatura. Caso clínico: Varón de 59 años que acude a la consulta de cirugía general por tumoración en miembro inferior derecho. La exploración física revela una tumoración no dolorosa de 3 cm sugestiva de lipoma. Se realiza ecografía que informa de la existencia de una hernia del músculo tibial anterior. Dado que el paciente se encuentra asintomático, se decide tratamiento rehabilitador. Conclusiones: Las hernias musculares, habitualmente localizadas en los miembros inferiores, suponen una entidad a tener en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial de tumores de partes blandas. Su diagnóstico es clínico con confirmación ecográfica y su tratamiento habitualmente es conservador, aunque en casos sintomáticos puede requerir cirugía.


Objective: Presentation of a case report and review of literature. Case report: A 59-years old male came to the Outpatient Clinic complaining of a painless lump in right lower limb. Physical examination revealed a 3 cm diameter tender lump, suggestive of lipoma. Ultrasonography revealed a hernia in the tibial anterior muscle. Given that the patient was asymptomatic, rehabilitation treatment was decided. Conclusions: Muscular hernias, usually located in lower limbs, must be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue lumps. Diagnosis is usually confirmed with ultrasonography and conservative treatment is indicated, though symptomatic cases might require surgery.

ABSTRACT

Colonic lipomas have very low frequency, are usually asymptomatic and diagnosis is made incidentally. Seventy-five per cent of lipomas larger than 4 cm are symptomatic, causing abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, obstruction and exceptionally invagination. The resection of invaginated segment is mandatory in cases with invagination and can be performed by laparoscopy when colonic dilation is moderate. We present a 73-year-old man who entered the emergency department complaining of intermitent abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, absence of bowel movements and flatulence, during four days. A CT scan showed a generalized colonic dilation until left lower quadrant. A colo-colonic invagination secondary to an endoluminal lipoma was observed in sigmoid colon. A laparoscopic sigmoidectomy was performed with extracorporeal termino-terminal anastomosis. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged from the hospital five days later. A sumbmucous colonic lipoma was diagnosed in the pathological study.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El manejo clásico de la infección de la malla consiste en su extracción, pero esto suele provocar una hernia mayor que en el momento de su reparación. Describimos una técnica novedosa para el manejo conservador de la infección de la malla. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: La tasa de infección de malla herniaria en nuestra serie fue del 1%. Describimos 3 casos (hernias inguinal, ventral y paraestomal) que presentaron infección de la malla. Todos ellos fueron manejados de forma conservadora, con apertura de la herida, lavado a presión con gentamicina (80mg/8horas) y tratamiento intravenoso con Amoxicilina/Ácido Clavulánico (875mg+125mg/8horas) durante 7 días, consiguiendo cultivos estériles en todos los casos. A continuación se realice un cierre por tercera intención de la herida. La infección no reapareció en ninguno de los pacientes. CONCLUSIÓN: El manejo conservador de la infección de la malla, incluyendo drenaje, lavado con antibiótico y cierre de la herida por tercera intención, puede ser una alternativa a la extracción de la malla infectada.


INTRODUCTION: Standard management of infected mesh advocates its removal, but this often results in a larger hernia than at the time of original repair. In this article we describe a novel approach to manage conservatively an infected prosthetic mesh. Patient and Methods: Mesh infection rate at our institution was 1%. We describe 3 cases (inguinal, ventral and parastomal hernias) that presented prosthetic mesh infections. All the cases were satisfactorily managed with a conservative approach, consisting in wound opening and pressurized wound irrigation with gentamicin (80mg/8hours) and intravenous infusion of Amoxicilin/Clavulanic acid (875mg+125mg/8hours) during 7 days, achieving sterile cultures of the mesh surface in all the cases. A 3rd intention closure of the wound was performed. There is no clinical evidence of recurrent infection in any case. Conclusion: Conservative management of mesh infection, including drainage, antibiotic irrigation and wound closure, is a potential alternative to mesh removal.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las hemorragias en los puntos de entrada de los trócares son en ocasiones difíciles de cohibir y se asocian con una morbilidad que oscila desde el dolor parietal y el hematoma, hasta el hemoperitoneo masivo. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de nuestra experiencia en el control de las hemorragias en los puntos de entrada de los trócares de laparoscopia mediante compresión con balón de sonda de Foley, en los que la hemostasia mediante electrocoagulación no fue efectiva. RESULTADOS: La técnica fue empleada en 35 pacientes (27 mujeres y 8 varones) con una edad media de 45,37 años (intervalo 24 - 82 años). La mediana de tiempo hasta la retirada de la sonda fue 36 horas (intervalo 24 - 48 horas), sin evidenciarse ningún tipo de complicación hemorrágica, prolongación de la estancia ni reingreso hospitalario. CONCLUSIONES: La compresión con balón de sonda de Foley es un método sencillo y eficaz para el control de las hemorragias a través de los orificios de los trócares de laparoscopia.


BACKGROUND: Abdominal wall bleeding in the port-site insertion place during laparoscopic surgery is sometimes difficult to control and can be associated with morbidity ranging from parietal pain up to haematoma and massive haemoperitoneum. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We perform a retrospective study of our experience in the management of the abdominal wall bleeding port-site using a Foley’s catheter (24F), in those cases when haemostasis with electrocautery was not achieved. RESULTS: This technique was used in 35 patients (27 women and 8 men) with a mean age of 45,37 years (range 24-82 years). The median of time up to the removal of the catheter was 36 hours (range 24-48 hours), without observing bleeding or prolongation of the hospital stay or readmission. CONCLUSIONS: The use of Foley’s catheter is a simple and efficient method for the control of the port-site bleeding during laparoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT

La cirugía del colon supone un importante trabajo en cualquier servicio de cirugía digestiva. Como cualquier cirugía mayor puede presentar complicaciones posoperatorias, tanto quirúrgicas como médicas, muchas de ellas pueden ser graves o incluso fatales. En este trabajo revisamos las complicaciones quirúrgicas posoperatorias más frecuentes: sepsis de origen abdominal, íleo posquirúrgico, hemorragia, fístula, evisceración, lesión ureteral, problemas con la colostomía y lesión de grandes vasos mesentéricos superiores. Todo cirujano digestivo debe conocer las posibles complicaciones de la cirugía colónica para conseguir un diagnóstico precoz y un manejo adecuado de las mismas.


Colon surgery comprises a high number of patients treated in a gastrointestinal surgery department. Like any major surgery, it may present diverse surgical and medical postoperative complications. In this article we review the most frequent surgical complications of colon surgery: abdominal sepsis, postoperative ileus, bleeding, fistula, evisceration, ureteral lesion, colostomy problems and damage to upper mesenteric vessels. Every colorectal surgeon must know all the possible complications of colon surgery to achieve an early diagnosis and correct management.

ABSTRACT

Cystic retroperitoneal lymphangioma is an unfrequent pathology. Most cases are asymptomatic, and when symptomatic, they tend to present as abdominal pain and bowel obstruction secondary to compres-sion of the bowel loops. Treatment of choice is surgical excisión. We present a case of cystic retroperitoneal lymphangioma with adhesions to the second portion of duodenum and head of the pancreas. Once separated from the pancreas, it remained denudated. To avoid an eventual pancreatic fístula, Tachosil® was placed as sealing method. Postoperative course was uneventful.


El linfangioma quístico retroperitoneal es una patología de poca frecuencia. La mayoría de los casos son asintomáticos y cuando presentan síntomas, lo más frecuente es dolor abdominal u obstrucción intestinal por compresión de asas intestinales. Su tratamiento consiste en la extirpación completa de la lesión. Presentamos un caso de linfangioma quístico retroperitoneal adherido a 2a porción duodenal y cabeza pancreática. Al separarlo del tejido pancreático, quedó un borde cruento. Para evitar una fístula pancreática, se colocó una placa de Tachosil® a modo de sellante. No aparecieron complicaciones postoperatorias.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Focused lateral approach is widely accepted for the surgery of solitary parathyroid adenomas, because it is a minimally invasive approach and its aesthetic advantages. Notwithstanding, when the pathlogical gland is not easily recognized, this approach difficults the search and makes more susceptible for iatrogenic lesions. Sometimes, PTH levels do not decrease up to 75 percent of initial values 15 minutes after the gland resection; a smaller decreasement do not exelude that the pathological gland has been already resected. Case report: A 69-years old man underwent a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Surgical act is complex, because of a difficult identification of the gland. In the postoperative course, the patient developed a pharyngoesophageal fístula that was successfully managed with a conservative approach.


Introducción: El abordaje unilateral en la cirugía del adenoma solitario de paratiroides está ampliamente aceptado por sus ventajas estéticas y ser un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo. Sin embargo, cuando la glándula patológica no es fácilmente detectada, dificulta mucho su búsqueda y facilita la iatrogenia. En ocasiones, los niveles de PTH no descienden al 75 por ciento del valor inicial 15 minutos después de la paratiroidectomía; un descenso menor del 75 por ciento no excluye que la glándula patológica haya sido extirpada. Caso clínico: Varón de 69 años es sometido a paratiroidectomía a través de un abordaje mínimamente invasivo. La cirugía es compleja y prolongada al no identificarse fácilmente la glándula paratiroides. En el postoperatorio el paciente presenta una fístula faringoesofágica que se se maneja satisfactoriamente de forma conservadora.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare disorder characterized by chronic, non-specific inflammation involving the adipose tissue of the bowel mesentery of unknown aetiology. It has been associated with different processes, including digestive and urothelial malignancies. Case report: A 44-years-old man carne to the Emergency Department complaining of mesogastric pain for the last 24 hours. CT sean showed an increased density of the mesenteric adipoid tissue. Mesenteric paniculitis was diagnosed and antibiotic treatment was instaured. The patient recovered uneventfully. Two months later the patient was diagnosed of an infiltrating urothelial carcinoma. Conclusions: Mesenteric panniculitis may be associated with malignancies and other pathologies. It is advisable to perform tests to dismiss the coexistence of these disorders. In those cases, in which associated diseases could not be demonstrated, a frequent follow-up would be advisable to achieve an early diagnosis if these appear.


Introducción: La paniculitis mesentérica es un trastorno poco frecuente caracterizado por inflamación crónica inespecífica del tejido adiposo del mesenterio intestinal de etiología desconocida. Se ha relacionado con diversas patologías, entre ellas neoplasias digestivas y uroteliales. Caso clínico: Varón de 44 años que acude a Urgencias por un dolor mesogástrico de 24 horas de evolución. En la TC abdominal se objetivó un aumento de densidad de la grasa de la raíz del mesenterio. Se diagnosticó de paniculitis mesentérica y se trató mediante antibioterapia. A los 2 meses el paciente es diagnosticado de un carcinoma urotelial infiltrante. Discusión: La paniculitis mesentérica puede estar relacionada con neoplasias y otras patologías. Es conveniente realizar pruebas para descartar la coexistencia de alguna de las enfermedades asociadas. En aquellos casos en los que no se demuestre, sería recomendable un seguimiento periódico.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La diverticulitis de Meckel es una patología poco frecuente, pero que debe considerarse ante un cuadro de abdomen agudo. Casos clínicos: 10 pacientes con diverticulitis de Meckel diagnosticados en el Hospital “Ramón y Cajal”, Madrid, España, entre 1985 y 2007. Se trató de ocho varones y dos mujeres, con edad media de 27.5 años; nueve se manifestaron con dolor en fosa iliaca derecha, sospechándose apendicitis aguda; uno se diagnosticó como obstrucción intestinal. Se realizó apendicectomía + diverticulectomía en los pacientes con diagnóstico preoperatorio de apendicitis, y diverticulectomía con liberación de bridas en quien se sospechó obstrucción. Conclusiones: La diverticulitis de Meckel es una patología poco frecuente. Cuando el apéndice es de características normales, se debe explorar toda la cavidad abdominal para excluir otros procesos inflamatorios, entre ellos la diverticulitis de Meckel.


BACKGROUND: Meckel's diverticulitis is an infrequent disease that must be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. CLINICAL CASES: We present 10 cases of Meckel's diverticulitis diagnosed at Hospital Ramón y Cajal (Madrid) between 1985 and 2007. There were eight males and two females with a mean age of 27.5 years. Nine cases presented as a pain in the right lower quadrant suspicious of acute appendicitis, and one case presented as bowel obstruction. Appendectomy + diverticulectomy were performed in those cases with preoperative diagnosis of appendicitis, and diverticulectomy and adhesion release in the patient diagnosed with bowel obstruction. CONCLUSIONS: Meckel's diverticulitis is a rare pathology. Intraoperatively, when the appendix is macroscopically normal, the abdominal compartment must be explored in order to exclude other inflammatory processes such as Meckel's diverticulitis.
