Eficacia de la impronta citológica peritoneal para decidir cuándo detener los lavados peritoneales programados / Efficacy of Peritoneal Cytological Imprinting in Deciding When to Stop Scheduled Peritoneal Lavages

Introducción: La no existencia de un parámetro preestablecido que permita determinar el momento preciso para suspender los lavados peritoneales programados, conlleva a que muchas veces se realice un número insuficiente de ellos, o tal vez estos se prolonguen de forma innecesaria y aumentan las probabilidades de fallecimiento del paciente. Objetivo: Determinar la eficacia de la impronta citológica peritoneal para decidir cuándo detener los lavados peritoneales programados. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de exactitud diagnóstica, en una serie de casos, con recogida prospectiva de datos desde enero de 2010 hasta diciembre de 2014, en el Hospital Provincial Clínico-Quirúrgico Docente "Celia Sánchez Manduley. La muestra quedó conformada por 42 pacientes que fueron tratados por peritonitis secundaria persistente. Se clasificaron según cuatro categorías de correlación y se tomó como estándar de referencia a la biopsia por parafina. Resultados: Las muestras con inflamación aguda peritoneal y curación de la inflamación peritoneal se identificaron correctamente en 39/42 casos, por lo tanto, el porcentaje predictivo global de la impronta citológica fue del 92,86 por ciento. La sensibilidad en el diagnóstico de inflamación aguda peritoneal fue del 100 por ciento, la especificidad del 92,68 por ciento, el valor predictivo positivo fue del 24,99 por ciento y el valor predictivo negativo del 100 por ciento. Las razones de verosimilitudes positiva y negativa fueron 13,67 y 0, respectivamente. El coeficiente (κ) fue de 0,376. Conclusiones: La impronta citológica peritoneal constituye un método diagnóstico eficaz para descartar inflamación aguda peritoneal cuando el resultado es negativo y se consideró de gran utilidad para detener los lavados peritoneales programados(AU)

Introduction: The lack of a pre-established parameter that allows determining the precise moment to suspend the scheduled peritoneal lavages, often leads to performing insufficient number of them, or perhaps these are unnecessarily prolonged, increasing the probability of the patient´s death. Objective: To determine the efficacy of peritoneal cytological imprinting in deciding when to stop scheduled peritoneal lavages. Methods: A descriptive study of diagnostic accuracy was carried out, in a series of cases, with prospective data collection in the five-year period from 2010 to 2014 at Celia Sánchez Manduley Provincial Clinical-Surgical Teaching Hospital. The sample was made up of 42 patients who were treated for persistent secondary peritonitis. They were classified according to four correlation categories, taking paraffin biopsy as reference standard. Results: Samples with acute peritoneal inflammation and healing of peritoneal inflammation were correctly identified in 39/42 cases. Therefore, the global predictive percentage of the cytological imprint was 92.86 percent. The sensitivity in the diagnosis of acute peritoneal inflammation was 100 percent, the specificity was 92.68 percent, the positive predictive value was 24.99 percent, and the negative predictive value was 100 percent. The positive and negative likelihood ratios were 13.67 and 0, respectively. Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ) was 0.376. Conclusions: The peritoneal cytological imprint is an effective diagnostic method to rule out acute peritoneal inflammation when the result is negative and it was considered very useful to stop scheduled peritoneal lavages(AU)

Role of intraperitoneal instillation of bupivacaine after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for post-operative pain management: a randomized controlled trial

Background: Intra peritoneal (IP) local anaesthesia (LA) is a simple, cheap and safest method of providing post-operative (post-op) analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). In this research, the role of intraperitoneal (IP) instillation of bupivacaine on post-op pain was studied. Post-op pain at 6, 12 and 24 hours was assessed using numeric rating scale. The degree of ambulation postoperatively at 6 and 24 hours and the requirement of analgesics was taken into account. The length of hospital stay was also a factor.Methods: A total of 76 patients during January 2018 to December 2018, undergoing LC, fitting the inclusion criteria were included randomly and divided in to two groups, bupivacaine group (B) and control group (A) based on a pre-generated random number sequence by the principal investigator. The surgical outcome was compared based on multiple parameters and the primary outcome measures were the post-op pain and analgesic requirement.Results: Degree of ambulation at 6 hours was significantly better in group B, compared to group A (p=0.008). The requirement of first dose of rescue analgesia was found to be within 6 hours (post-op) in 34 patients of group A (89.47%) as compared to 13 patients of group B (34.21%), was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). There was statistically significant (p=0.002) difference with respect to length of hospital stay between the two groups.Conclusions: In our study we found that IP bupivacaine (0.5%) is an effective, economical, safe method of post-op pain management with better post-op recovery.

Evaluating the effect of gentamicin-clindamycin lavage on post-operational pain and infection through laparoscopic colectomy surgery / Avaliação do efeito da lavagem com gentamicina-clindamicina sobre a dor e a infecção após colectomia laparoscópica

Abstract Introduction Peritoneal antibiotic or normal saline lavage is seen to be beneficial in order to reduce the pain or infection risk through laparoscopic surgeries. It can also be applied for laparoscopic colectomy surgeries. In this study, we have compared the effects of antibiotic solution lavage (gentamycin-clindamycin) with normal saline lavage in patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy surgery. Method In this double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), 40 patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy surgery were divided into antibiotic and normal saline lavage groups (20 patients in each group). Post-operational pain, need for painkiller, white blood cells count, C-reactive protein level, duration of hospitalization and wound infection were compared in 30 days between the groups. Results Antibiotic lavage group had significantly less pain than the normal saline group (p < 0.05) through 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after surgery. C-reactive protein level, white blood cells count, painkiller use, and hospitalization duration were significantly lower in antibiotic group. However, there was no difference regarding wound or intra-abdominal infection between the both groups. Conclusion Using gentamicin-clindamycin peritonea lavage helps patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy surgery in pain reduction, need for painkillers and hospitalization duration.

Resumo Introdução A lavagem peritoneal com antibiótico ou com soro fisiológico normal é benéfica para reduzir o risco de dor ou de infecção durante cirurgias laparoscópicas, além de poder ser aplicada também em colectomias laparoscópicas. Neste estudo, comparamos os efeitos da lavagem com solução antibiótica (gentamicina-clindamicina) e da lavagem com solução salina normal em pacientes submetidos à colectomia laparoscópica. Método Neste Ensaio Clínico Randomizado (ECR), controlado e duplo-cego, 40 pacientes submetidos à colectomia laparoscópica foram divididos em dois grupos (20 pacientes em cada grupo) para receberem antibiótico ou solução salina normal. Dor pós-operatória, necessidade de analgésico, contagem de leucócitos, nível de proteína C-reativa, tempo de internação e infecção da ferida foram comparados entre os grupos em 30 dias. Resultados De forma significativa, o Grupo Antibiótico apresentou menos dor que o Grupo Salina Normal (p < 0,05) em 3, 6, 12 e 24 horas após a cirurgia. O nível de proteína C-reativa, a contagem de leucócitos, o uso de analgésicos e o tempo de internação foram significativamente menores no Grupo Antibiótico. Porém, não houve diferença em relação à infecção da ferida ou intra-abdominal entre os dois grupos. Conclusão O uso da lavagem peritoneal com gentamicina-clindamicina ajuda a reduzir a dor, a necessidade de analgésicos e o tempo de internação de pacientes submetidos à colectomia laparoscópica.

CONCLUSION: This case reflects the success of laparoscopic surgery in the management of serous border tumors with fertility-preserving surgery, in addition to highlighting the use of chemotherapy as an adjuvant treatment in this type of pathologies.

Clinical significance of CEA mRNA expression in peritoneal lavage fluid for patients with gastric cancer after radical surgery / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

@#[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of CEAmRNAin peritoneal lavage fluid for patients with gastric cancer after radical surgery. Methods: The clinical data of 139 gastric cancer patients, who underwent peritoneal lavage CEA mRNA detection after radical resection in the Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Drum Tower Hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Routine post-operative follow-up was conducted in all patients. The expression of CEA mRNA in peritoneal lavage fluid after radical resection of 139 gastric cancer patients was detected by RT-PCR. Chi-square test analysis was used to study the relationship between the expression of CEA mRNA in peritoneal lavage fluid and basic clinical features, histopathological data, hematological indicators and the recurrence pattern of GC patients. Logistic univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to screen the influential factors affecting CEA mRNA expression. Results: CEA mRNA was positive in 44 (31.7%) of 139 patients. Analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between CEA mRNA expression and sex, age, pathological grade, Lauren type, HER2, EGFR, VEGFR and Ki67 (all P>0.05), but there was significant correlation between CEA mRNA expression and pathological type, vascular invasion, local invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and clinical AJCC stage (all P<0.05). The peritoneal recurrence rate of patients with positive CEA mRNA expression was significantly higher than that of patients with negative expression (P=0.012). Logistic univariate regression analysis showed that signet ring cell carcinoma (P=0.04, HR=2.810， 95% CI: 1.050-7.520), T stage (P=0.016，HR=6.329, 95% CI: 1.417-28.264), N stage (P=0.022，HR=3.068，95% CI: 1.172-8.027), AJCC stage (P=0.016，HR= 3.971, 95% CI: 1.295-12.173), nerve invasion (P=0.002, HR=6.738, 95% CI: 1.995-22.757) and vascular invasion (P<0.001, HR= 16.36, 95% CI: 3.85-69.512) were risk factors for positive CEA mRNA expression in peritoneal lavage fluid of patients with gastric cancer. Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that vascular invasion (P<0.001, HR=21.314，95% CI: 4.21-107.907) was an independent risk factor for positive CEAexpression in peritoneal lavage fluid of gastric cancer patients. Conclusion: Gastric cancer patients with positive CEA mRNA in peritoneal lavage fluid have higher risk of peritoneal recurrence or metastasis and poorer prognosis. So, more aggressive anti-tumor treatments including local abdominal cavity treatment should be considered.

Peritoneal washing in gynecological neoplasias / Lavado peritoneal em neoplasias ginecológicas

ABSTRACT Introduction and objective: Peritoneal washing cytology is part of pathological staging of adenocarcinomas of the endometrium and ovary. The objective of this study was to verify the prevalence of cytology positive for malignancy in patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the endometrium or ovary, as well as to verify the association between the positive cytology and the variables age of the patient, histological type of the neoplasm and degree of tumor differentiation. Method: A retrospective and prospective cross-sectional study was carried out through the analysis of peritoneal washing cytology reports and the anatomopathological reports of 43 patients diagnosed with ovarian or endometrial adenocarcinoma, provided by the Pathology Center of Curitiba. Results: In relation to endometrial adenocarcinoma, the prevalence of positive cytologies was 7%. Neither the degree of tumor differentiation (p = 1) nor age (p = 0.233) demonstrated association with such positivity. In relation to ovarian adenocarcinoma, the prevalence of positive cytologies was 20%. The degree of tumor differentiation showed a significant positive association with this positivity (p = 0.044). Age did not show association (p = 0.804). It was not possible to verify association with the histological type of neoplasms due to non-applicability of the statistical test. Conclusion: The prevalence of peritoneal lavage cytology positive for malignancy was 7% in endometrial adenocarcinoma and 20% in ovarian adenocarcinoma. Only the degree of tumor differentiation of ovarian adenocarcinomas showed a significant association with peritoneal washing positivity.

Laparoscopia e lavado peritoneal no pré-operatório do adenocarcinoma gástrico: podemos modificar a conduta? / Preoperative laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage in gastric adenocarcinoma: can the approach be modified?

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar se a laparoscopia com lavado peritoneal é superior à tomografia computadorizada para o estadiamento do adenocarcinoma gástrico e se pode modificar a conduta cirúrgica do paciente. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo de 46 pacientes portadores de adenocarcinoma gástrico tratados pela equipe de cirurgia digestiva do Hospital de Clínicas de Passo Fundo (RS), de janeiro de 2015 a dezembro de 2018, e submetidos à laparoscopia com lavado peritoneal pré-operatório. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos ao estadiamento clínico pré-operatório com tomografia computadorizada. Resultados: dos 46 pacientes analisados, a maioria apresentava tumores localizados na cárdia (34,8%), pouco diferenciados (69,6%) e do subtipo células em anel de sinete (65,2%). Em 91,3% deles a tomografia computadorizada não identificou carcinomatose peritoneal ou metástases à distância. Entre estes pacientes com tomografia computadorizada negativa para doença à distância, 21,8% apresentaram lavado peritoneal positivo para células neoplásicas e tiveram suas condutas terapêuticas modificadas. Conclusão: a laparoscopia e o lavado peritoneal alteraram a decisão cirúrgica em 21,8% dos pacientes, proporcionando um estadiamento pré-operatório mais fidedigno no adenocarcinoma gástrico.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess whether laparoscopy with peritoneal lavage is superior to computed tomography for staging gastric adenocarcinoma and whether it can modify the surgical approach. Methods: we conducted a retrospective study of 46 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma treated by the digestive surgery team of the Passo Fundo Clinics Hospital (RS), from January 2015 to December 2018, and submitted to laparoscopy with preoperative peritoneal lavage. All patients underwent preoperative clinical staging with computed tomography. Results: of the 46 patients analyzed, the majority had tumors located in the cardia (34.8%), poorly differentiated (69.6%), and subtype signet ring cells (65.2%). In 91.3%, the computed tomography scan did not identify peritoneal carcinomatosis or distant metastasis. Among these patients with negative computed tomography for distant disease, 21.8% had positive peritoneal lavage for neoplastic cells and had their therapeutic approaches modified. Conclusion: laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage altered the surgical decision in 21.8% of patients, providing a more reliable preoperative staging in gastric adenocarcinoma.

Continuous peritoneal lavage with vacuum peritoneostomy: an experimental study

OBJECTIVE: Despite advances in diffuse peritonitis treatment protocols, some cases develop unfavorably. With the advent of vacuum therapy, the use of laparostomy to treat peritonitis has gained traction. Another treatment modality is continuous peritoneal lavage. However, maintaining this technique is difficult and has been associated with controversial results. We propose a new model of continuous peritoneal lavage that takes advantage of the features and benefits of vacuum laparostomy. METHOD: Pigs (Landrace and Large White) under general anesthesia were submitted to laparostomy through which a multiperforated tube was placed along each flank and exteriorized in the left and lower right quadrants. A vacuum dressing was applied, and intermittent negative pressure was maintained. Peritoneal dialysis solution (PDS) was then infused through the tubes for 36 hours. The stability of peritoneostomy with intermittent infusion of fluids, the system resistance to obstruction and leakage, water balance, hemodynamic and biochemical parameters were evaluated. Fluid disposition in the abdominal cavity was analyzed through CT. RESULTS: Even when negative pressure was not applied, the dressing maintained the integrity of the system, and there were no leaks or blockage of the catheters during the procedure. The aspirated volume by vacuum laparostomy was similar to the infused volume (9073.5±1496.35 mL versus 10165±235.73 mL, p=0.25), and there were no major changes in hemodynamic or biochemical analysis. According to CT images, 60 ml/kg PDS was sufficient to occupy all intra-abdominal spaces. CONCLUSION: Continuous peritoneal lavage with negative pressure proved to be technically possible and may be an option in the treatment of diffuse peritonitis.

Intraoperative radiofrequency ablation and distilled water peritoneal lavage for spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma

PURPOSE: Spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (srHCC) is known to be a life-threatening complication with poor prognosis. Although there are various treatment modalities, there is no definite treatment guideline. The purpose of this study was to review the surgical outcome and prognosis of srHCC treated with intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and distilled water peritoneal lavage (DWPL). METHODS: From March 2012 to October 2018, 9 patients with srHCC who underwent emergent surgery were reviewed. After hematoma removal, intraoperative RFA and DWPL were applied to all patients. Hepatectomy was performed if necessary. Patients with multiple tumors, distant metastasis, and vascular tumor involvement in radiologic imaging were excluded. RESULTS: Six of 9 patients with diameters less than 7 cm were able to obtain hemostasis using RFA alone (RFA group). However, 3 patients with a tumor size of more than 10 cm underwent liver resection because they could not obtain hemostasis with RFA (hepatectomy only group). The RFA group had shorter operation time (148.3 ± 31.7 minutes vs. 251.7 ± 20.2 minutes, P < 0.05) and less red blood cell transfusion (5.8 ± 2.5 packs vs. 24.0 ± 11.5 packs, P < 0.05) than the hepatectomy only group. There was no peritoneal metastasis at long-term follow-up in the RFA group. Five-year recurrence-free survival rate was 0% in both groups. However, 5-year overall survival rate was better in the RFA group (83.3% vs. 0%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Intraoperative RFA and DWPL are easy to perform and theoretically the best methods for managing relatively small srHCC.

Apendicitis perforada, ¿lavar o no lavar la cavidad peritoneal? / Perforated appendicitis, peritoneal lavage versus non-lavage?

Introducción. El tratamiento adecuado de la cavidad peritoneal en la peritonitis secundaria constituye una preocupación permanente de los cirujanos y es primordial en el manejo integral del paciente. Objetivo. Evaluar los resultados de lavar la cavidad abdominal frente al secado peritoneal en los casos de peritonitis secundaria, por apendicitis aguda perforada. Material y métodos. Estudio observacional retrospectivo en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital de Especialidades Carlos Andrade Marín, período enero 2016 a diciembre 2017. Se incluyeron 301 historias clínicas de pacientes con diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda perforada. El objetivo principal del estudio fue evaluar las complicaciones presentadas con cada uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos empleados. Resultados. Los registros de 301 pacientes, 212 (70,4%) sometidos a lavado peritoneal y 89 (29,6%) a secado del peritoneo. La frecuencia de complicaciones entre los grupos estudiados fue similar, no hubo diferencias significativas. La única variable significativa fue el tiempo operatorio (OR 1,01, p<0,005). Conclusiones. No se encontraron diferencias significativas con el tipo de manejo de cavidad en pacientes con peritonitis secundaria a apendicitis aguda perforada (lavado versus secado de cavidad) en cuanto a complicaciones posoperatorias. El lavado peritoneal requirió un tiempo quirúrgico mayor al secado de la cavidad.

Introduction. The adequate treatment of the peritoneal cavity in peritonitis is a primary concern in the comprehensive management of the patient. Objective. To compare the results of thoroughly washing the peritoneal cavity vs simply just drying the peritoneal cavity in cases of secondary peritonitis due to acute perforated appendicitis. Materials and methods. A retrospective observational study was carried out in the General Surgery Department at Carlos Andrade Marín Specialties Hospital, from January 2016 until December 2017. The study main end-point was assessing the postoperative complication between peritoneal lavage versus cavity drying. Results. The records of 301 patients, 212 (70.4%) who underwent peritoneal lavage and 89 (29.6%) with just drying the peritoneum. The frequency of complications between both groups did not reach statistical significance. The only significant variable was the operative time (OR 1.01, p<0.005). Conclusions. No statistically significant differences were found with the type of cavity management in patients with peritonitis secondary to perforated appendicitis (lavage versus cavity drying). Peritoneal lavage required more time than cavity drying.

Clinical study of early endoscopic therapy for severe acute pancreatitis complicated with intra-abdominal hypertension/abdominal compartment syndrome / 中国内镜杂志

Objective To investigate the effects of peritoneal lavage and dialysis by flexible endoscope in patients with early phase severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH)/abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Methods 32 patients with early phase SAP complicated with IAH/ACS were received peritoneal lavage and dialysis by flexible endoscope in base of routine treatment. The release time of peritoneal irritation sign, the duration of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAP), bowel sound, APACHE-II scores and prognosis of the patients were evaluated. The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum, also, the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and amylase in ascites/peritoneal lavage fluid were measured. Results 30 patients were all cured after treatment, with an average hospital stay of (16.53 ± 5.30) d, and, 2 patients underwent surgical treatment. The difference between before and after treatment was significance in peritoneal irritation sign scores, bowel sound, IAP and APACHE-II scores of the patients (P < 0.05). The levels of testing items in serum and ascites/peritoneal lavage fluid were decreased significantly during peritoneal lavage and dialysis. Conclusion Continuous peritoneal lavage and dialysis by flexible endoscope is a safe and effective method for patients with SAP complicated with IAH/ACS, especially in the early stage of disease.

Detection of intraperitoneal free cancer cells in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy and its relationship with short-term prognosis / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective To evaluate different methods in detecting intraperitontal free cancer cells (IFCCs) in patients with gastric cancer and to clarify the relationship between positive IFCCs and short-term prognosis.Methods A total of 119 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment were enrolled.Peritoneal lavage was performed with 300-400 ml saline respectively at three points of time:immediately after abdominal cavity entry;when surgical operation was completed;when extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage was done.The IFCCs were detected with methods of traditional centrifugal cytology,membrane cytology,ICC and RT-PCR.The survival curve of patients with gastric cancer was drawn using Kaplan-Meier method.Results The positive rate of PLC was 16.8％,20.7％ and 11.2％ respectively at 3 timepoints (P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of ICC were 28.6％,38.8％ and 20.7％ respectively at 3 timepoints.The positive rates of RT-PCR were 39.3％,69.5％ and 50.8％ respectively at 3 time points.The positive rate of IFCCs detected through RT-PCR was higher than that of PLC and ICC (P ＜ 0.05).The short-term prognosis of patients with positive IFCCs was worse than those with negative results detected with any three method at the timg point immediately after opening the abdomen (P ＜ 0.05).At the timg point immediately after removing the tumors,the short-term prognosis of patients with positive IFCCs detected with PLC was worse (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The short-term prognosis was poor in patients with positive IFCCs.It is the best time to detect IFCCs before radical resection.Surgical procedures increase the risk of shedding of IFCCs.

Influence of peritoneal lavage with different concentrations of povidone-iodine on hemodynamics and acid-base balance in rabbits / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the influence of peritoneal lavage with different concentrations of povidone-iodine on hemodynamics and acid-base balance in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four clean-grade healthy adult male New Zealand white rabbits,aged 3 months,weighing 2.8-3.2 kg,were divided into 4 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),povidone-iodine 1/3 of original concentration group (group TI),povidone-iodine l/2 of original concentration group (group HI) and povidone-iodine of original concentration group (group OI).Rabbits were anaesthetized with intraperitoneal 3％ pentobarbital 1.5 ml/kg,the left femoral artery was cannulated for invasive blood pressure monitoring,and the abdominal cavity was opened.Peritoneal lavage was performed with normal saline,povidone-iodine diluted with normal saline (1 ∶ 2),povidone-iodine diluted with normal saline (1 ∶ 1) and original povidone-iodine 20 ml at 10 min after opening abdominal cavity in C,TI,HI and OI groups,respectively.The fluid for peritoneal lavage was sucked out using a sterile gauze 2 min later and then the abdominal cavity was closed.Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded immediately before lavage (T0) and at 5,10 and 20 min and 1 and 2 h after the end of lavage (T1-5).Arterial blood samples were collected at T0,T4 and T5 for blood gas analysis,and the pH value,BE and lactic acid level were recorded.The duration of anesthesia before peritoneal lavage,cumulative dose of anesthetics,fluid volume and urine volume at 2 h after anesthesia,and mortality at 3 h after peritoneal lavage were recorded.Results Compared with group C,MAP at T1-5 and HR at T3-5 were significantly decreased in TI,HI and OI groups,pH value was significantly decreased and BE negative value was increased at T4,5 in HI and OI groups,the lactic acid level was significantly increased at T5 in group OI,and the mortality rate were significantly increased in HI and OI groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group TI,MAP at T4,5 and pH value at T5 were significantly decreased,BE negative value was increased at T5,and the lactic acid level was increased at T4,5 in group Ol (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in each parameter between group OI and group HI (P＞0.05).Conclusion Peritoneal lavage with povidone-iodine dose-dependently leads to hemodynamic deterioration and acid-base imbalance in rabbits.

Prognostic value of carcinoembryonic antigen levels in transoperative peritoneal lavage in patients with gastric cancer / Valor prognóstico dos níveis transoperatórios de antígeno carcinoembriônico em lavagem peritoneal de pacientes com câncer gástrico

ABSTRACT Background: The carcinoembryonic antigen level in peritoneal lavage has been showing to be a reliable prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Aim: To identify any association between carcinoembryonic antigen level in peritoneal lavage, in gastric cancer patients, with mortality, peritoneal recurrence, tumor relapse or other prognostic factors. Methods: In total, 30 patients (22 men, 8 women; median age 66 years) with resectable gastric cancer (mainly stage III and IV) were studied. Carcinoembryonic antigen level in peritoneal lavage was detected at operation by immunocytochemical method and a level over 210 ng/g of protein was considered as positive. Results: There were detected 10 positive cases (33.3%) of plCEA levels. These levels were associated with mortality, RR: 2.1 (p=0.018); peritoneal recurrence, OR: 9.0 (p=0.015); and relapse or gastric cancer progression, OR: 27.0 (p=0.001). Conclusion: Increased levels of plCEA fairly predicts mortality, peritoneal recurrence tumor relapse or cancer progression.

Conclusões: Os níveis aumentados do antígeno carcinoembriônico no lavado peritoneal foram fatores de risco para mortalidade, recorrência peritoneal, recidiva e progressão da doença em pacientes com câncer gástrico.

Animal model of continuous peritoneal lavage with vacuum peritoneostomy

Abstract Purpose: To establish and evaluate the feasibility of continuous peritoneal lavage with vacuum peritoneostomy in an animal model. Methods: Eight pigs aged 3-4 months, females, were anesthetized and submitted to laparotomy and installation of a continuous peritoneal lavage with vacuum peritoneostomy. The sta-bility of the system, the physiological effects of washing with NaCl 0.9% and the sys-tem clearance were evaluated. Results: Stability of vacuum peritoneostomy was observed, with no catheter leaks or obstructions and the clearance proved adequate, however, the mean volume of fluids aspirated by the peritoneostomy at the end of the experiment was higher than the volume infused by the catheters (p=0.02). Besides that, the animals presented a progressive increase in heart rate (p=0.04) and serum potassium (p=0.02). Conclusion: The continuous peritoneal lavage technique with vacuum peritoneostomy is feasible and presents adequate clearance.

Comparing Lavage of the Peritoneal Cavity with Lidocaine, Bupivacaine and Normal Saline to Reduce the Formation of Abdominal Adhesion Bands in Rats

Background: Intra-abdominal adhesions are fibrous bands that develop after abdominal surgery or inflammation and cause mortality and morbidity following surgeries. This study aimed to assess the effects of bupivacaine, saline and two doses of lidocaine, after peritoneal lavage and to compare their effects in reducing abdominal adhesions in rat. Methods: In a blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 50 female rats were anaesthetised and the parietal peritoneum was scratched to induce punctate bleeding. The rats were randomly assigned to five groups: saline, lidocaine 2% (3 and 6 mg/kg), bupivacaine 0.25% (2 mg/kg) and control (no irrigation). The peritoneal cavity was irrigated with the appropriate solution during laparotomy. Two weeks later, re-laparotomy was performed. The quantity, quality, severity and scores of adhesions were recorded and compared. Results: The quantity and quality of adhesions were significantly higher in the control group than in the lidocaine (6 mg/kg) and bupivacaine groups. The quality of the adhesions was higher in the normal saline group than in the lidocaine (6 mg/kg) and bupivacaine groups. The severity of adhesions between the lidocaine 3 and 6 mg/kg groups and between the lidocaine 3 mg/ kg and saline groups was lower than that in the control group. Conclusion: Using lidocaine (6 mg/kg) and bupivacaine lavage in first laparotomy reduces abdominal peritoneal obstruction because of the formation of adhesion bands.

Detection value of free cancer cells in peritoneal washing in gastric cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Intraperitoneal free cancer cells in gastric adenocarcinoma are associated with a poor outcome. However, the true prognostic value of intraperitoneal free cancer cells is still unclear, leading to a lack of consensus in the management of gastric cancer. The aim of the present study is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze intraperitoneal free cancer cells-positive patients with regard to tumor oncologic stage, recurrence, grade of cellular differentiation, and survival rates and to analyze the clinical significance of intraperitoneal free cancer cells with regard to prognosis. Databases were searched up to January 2016 for prognostic factors associated with intraperitoneal free cancer cells, including oncologic stage, depth of neoplasm invasion, lymph nodal spread, differentiation grade of the tumor, and recurrence and survival rates. A total of 100 studies were identified. Meta-analysis revealed a clear association between intraperitoneal free cancer cells and a poor prognosis. intraperitoneal free cancer cells -positive patients had higher rates of nodal spread (risk difference: 0.29; p<0.01), serosal invasion (risk difference: 0.43; p<0.01), recurrence (after 60 months of follow-up, risk difference: 0.44; p<0.01), and mortality (after 60 months of follow-up, risk difference: 0.34; p<0.01). Intraperitoneal free cancer cells are associated with a poor outcome in gastric cancer. This surrogate biomarker should be used to guide therapy both prior to and after surgery.

Application of laparoscopic peritoneal lavage and drainage for severe acute pancreatitis:a report of 87 cases / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the effect of LPLD (laparoscopic peritoneal lavage and drainage ) on SAP (severe acute pancreatitis), and to compare its effect with that of non- LPLD (conservative medical management). Methods We collected data from 87 consecutive patients with SAP, from January 2009 to May 2014, including LPLD group (n = 46) and non-LPLD group (n = 41). LPLD was performed in the 1st and 2nd week after the disease onset in LPDP group and other treatment in LPDP group was the same as that in non-LPLD group. Data were comparatively analyzed in two groups about the length of hospital stay, ICU stay, cure rate, incidence of complications and in-hospital mortality. Results In LPLD group, hospital stay, and ICU stay were shorter while cure rate was higher than those in non-LPLD group , and the difference was statistically significant (P 0.05). Conclusion Compared with non-LPLD, LPLD is effective in short outcome, which is a promising treatment for SAP.

Application of triple exits linker for temperature regulation of ovarian cancer patients with ascites during hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion / 肿瘤

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of triple exits linker for temperature regulation of ovarian cancer patients with ascites in hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion using HGGZ-102 type body cavity heat perfusion machine. Methods: From April 2013 to September 2014, 39 ovarian cancer patients with ascites did not use triple exits linker (as the control group). From October 2014 to May 2015, 45 ovarian cancer patients with ascites used triple exits linker during hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion (as the study group). The patients in two groups were treated with TP regimen (paclitaxel on d 1, and hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion with cisplatin on d 1 and d 8; repeated every 3 weeks with a total of six cycles). The temperature of the drugs inflowing into abdominal cavity and outflowing from abdominal cavity in two groups was examined. Results: In the study group, the threshold temperatures of the drugs inflowing into abdominal cavity for three cycles were precisely controlled at 43.5-44.5 , and the maximal temperature when drugs outflowing from abdominal cavity reached target temperature (39.5-40.5 ). The effective rates of ascite subsided were 71.1% and 46.2% in the study group and the control group, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (P 0.05). Conclusion: Application of triple exits linker for temperature regulation of ovarian cancer patients with ascites in hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion can control the temperature accurately and improve the therapeutic effect.
