Diagnosis and treatment of internal hernia after laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer / 中华消化外科杂志

With the development of laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer, more and more surgeons use laparoscopic techniques and even totally laparoscopic techniques in gastric cancer surgery. However, technological progress brings not only smaller trauma, but also new problems and risks. Compared with traditional open surgery, the high incidence of internal hernia after laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery is an urgent problem to be solved. As the incidence of internal hernia often occurs after discharge, patients usually choose the nearest hospital for diagnosis and treatment due to the urgent course of disease. As a result, patients with internal hernia often have serious complications due to delayed treatment because of the difficulty in diagnosis. Sometimes, there are patients even death. The authors review the relevant research on postoperative internal hernia of gastric cancer in recent years and combine with practical experience to discuss the diagnosis and treatment strategy of internal hernia after laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer, aiming to improve the clinicians′ attention to the disease and provide reference for its diagnosis and treatment.

Surgery team building of 4K laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer / 中华消化外科杂志

In recent years, minimally invasive surgery represented by laparoscopic technology has been carried out and gradually become a trend in the treatment of gastric cancer. The building of an excellent team is an important guarantee for the successful operation. As a high-imaging technology, 4K laparoscopy effectively improves the surgical field of vision and contri-butes to the development of laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, paying high attention to the building of a laparoscopic surgery team and comprehensive improvement of the team′s execution are conducive to the timely and effective application of various new technologies including 4K laparoscopy in the minimally invasive surgery for radical gastrectomy.

Safety and Short-term Efficacy of Laparoscopic Assisted Distal Gastrectomy versus Open Distal Gastrectomy in D2 Radical Surgeries for Locally Advanced Distal Gastric Cancer:A Meta-analysis / 中国医科大学学报

Objective To conduct a Meta?analysis to compare the safety and short?term efficacy of laparoscopic assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG)and open distal gastrectomy(ODG)in D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. Methods The literatures from Janurary,1990 to August,2014 on the evaluation of safety and short?term efficacy of LADG versus ODG in D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer were collected. The quality of the enrolled articles was evaluated and the software Revman 5.2 was adopted to analyze the cura?tive effect. Results Totally 25 articles met the inclusion criteria,including 5 044 patients with treatment of D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. There was no significant difference in the cleaning number of lymph nodes between LADG and ODG in patients undergoing D2 radical surgeries for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. The operation time was longer for LADG than ODG,but the postoperative evaluation in?dexes such as the intraoperative blood loss and the short?term efficacy of LADG were superior to ODG. Conclusion In the treatment of locally ad?vanced distal gastric cancer,there were differences in the safety and short?term efficacy between LADG and ODG,and surgeons should give concern to these differences in clinical practice to select appropriate surgical approaches. Further research is still needed to explore the long?term efficacy.
