RESUMEN
Objective:To review publications in the field of digestive endoscopic minimally-invasive resection in the past 10 years in and outside China.Methods:Literature of digestive endoscopic minimally-invasive resection in the Web of Science and CNKI databases from January 1, 2011 to July 17, 2021 was retrieved. VOSviewer 1.6.11 was used for clustering and time series analysis of countries, institutions, authors and keywords, and drawing evidence-based visualization maps, so as to analyze the cooperation among countries, academic institutions and researchers, to compare the differences in research topics between Chinese and English databases, and to predict the future research hot spots and directions.Results:A total of 22 834 English articles and 4 636 Chinese articles were included. Over the past 10 years, the number of Chinese and English publications has been growing steadily, and most of them were published in professional journals. The publications were mainly from China, Japan, South Korea and the United States, where all exceeded 2 000. The National Cancer Center of Japan had 497 publications, ranking the first among all institutions. The cooperation between academic institutions showed obvious regional characteristics, and the inter-institutional and interpersonal cooperation needed improvement. In terms of keyword clustering, there was no significant difference between Chinese and English publications, but there were two additional clusters in Chinese publications, endoscopic nursing and submucosal tumor. Overlays analysis of key words showed that endoscopic surgery, tunneling technique, and submucosal tumor could be hot spots and future directions.Conclusion:Digestive endoscopic minimally-invasive resection has experienced a vigorous development in the past 10 years with a growing number of Chinese and English publications. China is playing an increasingly important role on the international stage. The advanced nature of research focus in Chinese publications is comparable to that in English publications, yet also showing Chinese characteristics. In the future, more efforts should be taken to strengthen regional cooperation and focus on research hot spots.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of laparo-gastroscopic esophagectomy (LGE).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clini-copathological data of 11 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent LGE in the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from June 2020 to October 2021 were collected. There were 8 males and 3 females, aged (68±4)years. Sorted by operation time, the sentinel lymph nodes navigation (SLN) was performed since the sixth patient in the cohort, and abdominal surgery and neck surgery were performed simultaneously to complete LGE. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect death of patients during postoperative 30 days. Patients were followed up during postoperative 30 days. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations. Of the 11 patients, 5 cases received SLN with satisfactory visualization, 6 cases did not receive SLN, 1 case terminated the operation as sentinel lymph nodes biopsy showing positive results and the rest of 10 cases completed LGE successfully without conversion to thoracotomy. The operation time and tumor diameter of the 10 patients completing LGE was (204±27)minutes and (2.5±1.0)cm, respec-tively. (2) Postoperative situations. Of the 10 patients completing LGE, 2 cases had pulmonary complications after surgery and recovered well with symptomatic treatment, and none of patient had anastomotic leakage or other serious complication. Results of postoperative histopathological examination showed squamous cell carcinoma in the 10 patients completing LGE. Nine patients were classified as T1b?3N0M0 stage and 1 patient was classified as T1bN1M0 stage. Ten patients completing LGE had R 0 resection and the number of lymph nodes dissected was 14±4. There were 3 cases with nerve bundle invasion, 2 cases with vascular invasion and 5 cases without nerve bundle and vascular invasion. The postoperative treatment time at intensive care unit and duration of hospital stay of the 10 patients completing LGE were (4.0±2.4)days and (7.2±1.5)days. (3) Follow-up. The 10 patients completing LGE were followed up and none of them died during the postoperative 30 days. Conclusions:LGE is safe and feasible. Combined with SLN can guarantee the oncology effect of surgery.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial hypopharyngeal neoplasm. Methods Clinicopathological data of 9 patients, who received ESD for superficial hypopharyngeal neoplasm in Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from September 2015 to March 2018,were retrospectively analyzed. Results Nine patients including 7 males and 2 females with mean age of 61. 2 years (48-80 years) were included. The mean diameter of lesions was 16. 3 mm (5-27 mm),and the mean operation time was 52. 2 min(30-90 min). No bleeding, perforation, emphysema or dyspnea during or after ESD occurred. The mean length of hospitalization was 4. 6 days ( 3-7 days). Pathology indicated 1 high grade intraepithelial neoplasia and 8 squamous cell cancer, and all cases of squamous cell cancer were constrained within lamina propria. One patient had positive horizontal margin and received radiotherapy. No recurrence, metastasis or stenosis was found during 10. 2 months (3-29 months)of follow-up. Conclusion ESD is a safe and effective option for superficial hypopharyngeal neoplasm.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the efficacy of endoscopic sphincterotomy ( EST) combined with large-balloon dilation ( LBD) and that of LBD alone for large bile duct stones. Methods Data of 61 patients who received EST combined with LBD ( the combination group ) and 48 patients who received LBD alone ( the LBD group) from February 2008 to November 2014 were collected. The efficacy and adverse events of two groups were compared. Results The procedure time from successful cannulating to complete stone removal was shorter in the LBD group than that in the combination group [ 17. 3 min ( 8-35 min ) VS 21. 5 min ( 10-42 min) , P=0. 041] . There were no significant differences in overall complete stone removal rate[90. 2％ (55/61) VS 91. 7％ (44/48), P=1. 000] and complete stone removal rate without mechanical lithotripsy[78. 7％ (48/61) VS 83. 3％ (40/48), P=0. 542] in the combination group and the LBD group. Massive bleeding occurred in one patient of the combination group, but was successfully coagulated under endoscopy. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis between the two groups[4. 9％ (3/61) VS 6. 3％ (3/48), P=1. 000]. Conclusion EST combined with LBD offers no significant advantage over LBD alone for the removal of large bile duct stones. LBD can simplify the procedure compared with EST combined with LBD in terms of shortening the procedure time.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for treatment of esophageal mucosal lesion with diameter larger than 15 mm.Methods The data of 261 patients with esophageal mucosal lesions ≥15 mm and undergoing ESD (n=198) or EPMR (n=63) in Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital from September 2009 to August 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Therapeutic effect, complications, and local recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results The lesion size was significantly larger in the ESD group than that in the EPMR group (3.02±1.13 mm VS 2.66±0.95 mm, P0.05) between the two groups.The rate of postoperative esophageal stricture was higher in the EPMR group than that of the ESD group [22.6% (14/62) VS 6.2% (12/194),P<0.05] except for 5 cases with further surgery treatment (4 cases in the ESD group and 1 case in the EPMR group).The local recurrence rate was also higher in the EPMR group than that of the ESD group [11.5% (7/61) VS 3.7% (7/190), P<0.05], except for 10 cases with positive margin.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of ESD is superior to that of EPMR for esophageal mucosal lesions with diameter larger than 15 mm due to lower rate of local recurrence and acceptable complications.
