ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The laparoscopic approach to bowel obstruction is still controversial. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate our initial results in the laparoscopic treatment of bowel obstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study on patients diagnosed with bowel obstruction that underwent laparoscopic surgery within the time frame of January 2008 to June 30, 2012. The variables employed were: age, sex, occlusion etiology, previous surgeries, clinical progression, pneumoperitoneum creation, use of an auxiliary incision, anesthesia duration, conversion rate, postoperative hospital stay, time needed to tolerate liquids, and complications. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients, 18 women (69.2%) and 8 men (30.8%), with a mean age of 64.35 years (range: 21-92 years) were analyzed. The most frequent obstruction etiology was secondary to adhesions and presented in 12 cases. Nine patients (34.6%) underwent a completely laparoscopic approach and laparoscopy was complemented by an auxiliary incision in another 9 patients (34.6%), resulting in 18 cases (69.2%) of successful laparoscopic approach. Eight patients (30.8%) required conversion to open surgery. The mean anesthesia duration was 95min (range: 55-165min), mean postoperative hospital stay was 6 days (range: 3-72 days), and the mean amount of time needed to tolerate liquids was 3 days (range: 1-10 days). The patients that underwent complete laparoscopic approach presented with shorter hospital stay, they were able to ingest liquids earlier, and they presented with a lower number of postoperative complications; this latter variable was the only one that was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The initial results of our experience were good, although more patients are needed in order to standardize and extend the use of this technique.

ABSTRACT

Subcutaneous tumor seeding after fine-needle percutaneous biopsy for hepatocellular carcinoma is a rarely seen complication. The authors describe a case of subcutaneous neoplastic seeding in a 70-year-old woman with chronic hepatitis C virus complicated by hepatocellular carcinoma. Ultrasonically guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in segment II of the liver. The neoplastic seeding developed along the needle track used to carry out the fine-needle biopsy. The subcutaneous tumor was excised, and histological examination revealed a well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Los implantes subcutáneos son una complicación rara tras la punción aspiración con aguja fina de los carcinomas hepatocelulares. Los autores describen un caso de implante subcutáneo neoplásico en una mujer de 70 años con cirrosis hepática por virus C complicada con un carcinoma hepatocelular. Se efectuó una punción aspiración con aguja fina en el segmento II hepático. El implante tumoral se desarrolló en el trayecto de la punción aspiración. La tumoración subcutánea fue extirpada quirúrgicamente y el estudio anatomopatológico confirmó que se trataba de un carcinoma hepatocelular bien diferenciado

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: a study is made of the course of adhesive small bowel obstruction in an attempt to draw conclusions regarding useful measures for reducing its incidence and severity. PATIENTS AND METHOD: a retrospective study is made of 146 cases of adhesive small bowel obstruction from the last adhesion-related hospital admission of each patient, with an evaluation of Kaplan-Meier survival curve fit to the principal parametric distributions of the disorder. RESULTS: surgery of the appendix was the type of prior surgery most frequently associated with adhesion occlusion. The mean latency was close to 8 years, with a constant incidence rate of 0.128 cases/patient and year. The initial latency was shorter for colorectal surgery and for prior inframesocolic surgery in general, as well as for conditions of relapse. A prospective follow-up comprising most of the cases (i.e., 95%) could require over 20 years, or up to 10 years to assess the corresponding relapses. CONCLUSIONS: from the clinical research perspective, the best approach to the problem of adhesive small bowel obstruction comprises the evaluation of prophylactic measures against adhesion formation. The more reliable methodological design of investigational studies must be sustained by prospective follow-up supported by hospital admission databases.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: estudio de la oclusión adherencial del intestino delgado en sus aspectos evolutivos temporales con el fin de extraer consecuencias de cara a la investigación de medidas útiles que reduzcan su incidencia y gravedad. Pacientes y método: se revisan 146 casos de oclusión adherencial del intestino delgado de forma retrospectiva a partir del último ingreso de tipo adherencial que sufrió cada paciente. Se utilizan curvas de supervivencia según el método de Kaplan-Meier, y se estudia su ajuste a las distribuciones paramétricas más propias del fenómeno. Resultados: la cirugía previa más frecuente productora de oclusión adherencial es la apendicular. La latencia media se sitúa en cerca de 8 años con una tasa de incidencia constante de 0,128 casos/persona-año. La latencia inicial es menor para la cirugía colorrectal y para la cirugía previa inframesocólica en general, así como para los casos recidivantes. Para realizar un seguimiento prospectivo que abarcara la mayoría de casos (por ejemplo, un 95 por ciento de ellos) se podrían precisar más de 20 años, o hasta 10 años para estudiar sus recidivas. Conclusiones: el enfoque más adecuado del problema, desde el punto de vista de la investigación clínica, es a través del estudio de medidas profilácticas de la formación de adherencias. El diseño metodológico más fiable de los trabajos de investigación sólo puede sustentarse sobre un seguimiento prospectivo bajo el soporte de bases de datos poblacionales de ingresos hospitalarios (AU)

ABSTRACT

Los recientes avances tecnológicos en el equipamiento endoscópico, junto con el desarrollo de la técnica de vídeo y el refinamiento de la técnica quirúrgica, han posibilitado la ampliación de las indicaciones de la toracoscopia como vía de abordaje de la cavidad torácica. Este abordaje, descrito en 1910 por Jacobeus, estaba limitado al diagnóstico de enfermedades pleurales. A este desarrollo actual han contribuido de manera importante los cirujanos generales de aquellos servicios de cirugía general que tenían experiencia previa en cirugía torácica y que, por otra parte, iniciaron el abordaje laparoscópico de la cavidad abdominal. En este trabajo se hace un repaso a aquellas indicaciones en las cuales la cirugía torácica videoasistida tiene un papel destacado y, por otra parte, puede llevarse a cabo en servicios de cirugía general con las condiciones arriba establecidas. Como indicación principal se encuentra el tratamiento del neumotórax espontáneo primario, en la cual los autores de este trabajo poseen una experiencia de 74 procedimientos tratados mediante cirugía torácica videoasistida desde junio de 1992 hasta enero de 2000, con un índice de recidiva del 4,10 por ciento, un seguimiento medio de 4,8 años, una mortalidad nula y una morbilidad del 19,1 por ciento. Otras indicaciones aceptadas ampliamente y en las cuales nuestro grupo también tiene experiencia son: biopsia pleural y tratamiento del derrame pleural, biopsia pulmonar, simpatectomía torácica y esplacnicectomía, hasta totalizar un número de 102 procedimientos. Existen otras indicaciones controvertidas o que por su alta especialización deben estar reservadas a los servicios de cirugía torácica. El caso más claro es el manejo del carcinoma broncogénico (AU)

ABSTRACT

Between June 1988 and June 1990, 267 endoscopic sphincterotomies were attempted for various indications. In 204 patients (74%) the indication was choledocholithiasis of which 109 with an intact gallbladder. Of the 267 patients, 22 (8.2%) developed complications and 4 died (1.4%). Six required urgent surgery 2.24% of the entire series and 0.3% of all emergency surgery done in that period in our department. Although most complications can be treated medically, about one fourth require emergency surgery. A medico-surgical team is needed to manage this type of patient.
