ABSTRACT

Introducción: La lesión rectal es una complicación infrecuente de la prostatectomía radical laparoscópica extraperitoneal. El desarrollo de fístulas uretrorrectales (FUR), a partir de lesiones rectales, resulta uno de los problemas más temidos y de más compleja resolución en urología.Material y métodosEntre 2013 y 2020 hemos intervenido a un total de cinco pacientes con FUR tras prostatectomía radical endoscópica extraperitoneal, mediante un abordaje perineal utilizando la interposición de material biológico. Todas las fístulas presentaron un diámetro menor de 6 mm en la endoscopia y se encontraban a menos de 6 cm del margen anal.ResultadosLa media de edad de los pacientes fue 64 años. Todos los pacientes llevaban al menos tres meses de derivación intestinal y urinaria previas. Bajo anestesia general, y con el paciente en posición de litotomía forzada mediante un acceso perineal, se realizó fistulorrafia e interposición de material biológico de origen porcino (dermis porcina liofilizada [Permacol®, Medtronic]). La duración media de la cirugía fue de 174 min (140-210). La mayoría de los pacientes fueron dados de alta al tercer día postoperatorio. La sonda vesical se mantuvo una media de 40 días (30-60). Previa a la retirada de la misma, se realizó cistografía y enema opaco con Gastrografin®, que mostró resolución de la fístula en todos los casos.ConclusionesLa interposición de material biológico procedente de dermis porcina mediante abordaje perineal es una alternativa segura y con buenos resultados en pacientes sometidos a fistulorrafia uretrorrectal tras prostatectomía radical.

Introduction: Rectal injury is a rare complication after extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The development of rectourethral fistulas (URF) from rectal injuries is one of the most feared and of more complex resolution in urology.Material and methodsBetween 2013 and 2020 we have operated on a total of 5 patients with URF after extraperitoneal endoscopic radical prostatectomy through a perineal access using the interposition of biological material. All fistulas had a diameter of less than 6 mm at endoscopy and were less than 6 cm apart from the anal margin.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 64 years old. All patients had a previous bowel and urinary diversion for at least 3 months. Under general anesthesia and with the patient in a forced lithotomy position, fistulorraphy and interposition of biological material of porcine origin (lyophilized porcine dermis [Permacol®]) were performed through a perineal access. Mean operative time was 174 minutes (140-210). Most patients were discharged on the third postoperative day. The bladder catheter was left in place for a mean of 40 days (30-60). Prior to its removal, cystography and a Gastrografin® barium enema were performed, showing resolution of the fistula in all cases.ConclusionsThe interposition of biological material from porcine dermis through perineal approach is a safe alternative with good results in patients submitted to urethrorectal fistulorraphy after radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las lesiones inflamatorias mamarias precisan con frecuencia de estudio histopatológico por su capacidad de imitar a los tumores mamarios malignos. El objetivo es proponer una secuencia diagnóstica de las inflamaciones mamarias benignas crónicas. Material y método: Se han revisado en la literatura los métodos y algoritmos diagnósticos de las mastitis crónicas. Resultados: Se propone un algoritmo diagnóstico para los procesos inflamatorios crónicos mamarios. Requiere determinar el patrón histopatológico inflamatorio y su localización, así como un estudio microbiológico apropiado. Posteriormente puede precisar de nuevas pruebas bioquímicas y serológicas orientadas por una correlación clinicopatológica para establecer un diagnóstico específico. Discusión: No se han identificado en la literatura otros algoritmos diagnósticos avalados por estudios de alto nivel de evidencia. Los patrones histopatológicos no son uniformes. Conclusiones: El diagnóstico etiológico precisa identificar patrones histopatológicos inflamatorios benignos y su localización, un estudio microbiológico y pruebas orientadas por correlación clinicopatológica. Se precisan estudios de investigación con niveles de evidencia altos


Introduction: Inflammatory breast lesions require histopathological study due to their ability to clinically and radiologically mimic malignant mammary tumours. The objective is to propose a diagnostic technique for benign chronic inflammatory processes of the breast. Material and methods: We reviewed the literature on the diagnostic methods used in chronic mastitis. Results: We propose a diagnostic algorithm for chronic inflammatory processes of the breast. The aetiological diagnosis requires identifying benign inflammatory histopathologic patterns and locations, and microbiological study. New biochemical and serological tests oriented by clinicopathological correlation may then be required to establish a specific diagnosis. Discussion: No diagnostic algorithms based on studies with a high level of evidence have been identified. No uniformity in histopathologic patterns has been described. Conclusions: The etiologic diagnosis requires identifying benign inflammatory histopathologic patterns and locations, microbiological study and tests oriented by clinicopathological correlation. There is a lack of studies with a high level of evidence

ABSTRACT

los pacientes intervenidos de cirugía colorrectal, incluso en muchasocasiones estos pacientes se mantienen con sonda nasogástricaen el postoperatorio, con el supuesto de prevenir complicacionescomo la dehiscencia, evisceración o eventración.Realizamos una revisión de la evidencia clínica sobre el empleode sonda nasogástrica y alimentación precoz consultando las basesdel PubMed, Embase y la Cochrane.Encontramos evidencia Ia, Ib a partir de meta-análisis y estudiosrandomizados prospectivos donde se desaconseja el uso sistemáticode la sonda de descompresión gástrica y se recomienda elinicio de una alimentación precoz en la cirugía colorrectal. La dietaabsoluta no aporta ningún beneficio después de una cirugíagastrointestinal y con la sonda nasogástrica no disminuyen lascomplicaciones postoperatorias. Sin embargo, una cirugía menosinvasiva y los avances en la anestesia y analgesia contribuyen a reducirel íleo postoperatorio


There is much variability regarding time to start of enteral nutritionin patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Bacterial translocation (BT) leads to sepsis of intestinal origin and, despite current advances, there is a high level of mortality and morbidity as a result of this. We have attempted to investigate whether such an immunity modulating substance as Pentoxiphylline (PX) might diminish or inhibit BT. We have chosen PX because it has immunity modulation actions and inhibits the synthesis and action of TNF-alpha, which seems to be linked to the progress of these conditions towards multiple organ failures. MATERIAL AND METHOD: An experimental study was performed with 4 groups of 20 Wistar rats subjected to lipid-free parenteral nutrition (PN) over 7 days. Group A: PN; group B: PN + 50 mg/kg of PX; group C: PN + 100 mg/kg; and group D: PN + 134 mg/kg. On day 7, a sterile extraction was effected to remove the mesenteric ganglial chain, liver, blood and intestine, and these samples were processed for the quantitative and qualitative microbiological study, the histological study of the intestinal mucosa and the quantification of TNF-alpha. The data obtained were subsequently analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The quantitative microbiological study revealed that, with statistically significant differences, more colonies grew in the lymphatic ganglion, liver and blood of animals belonging to group A. The germ most frequently identified was E. Coli. In the study of TNF-alpha, the greatest value corresponded to group A, again with statistically significant differences. In the histological study, it was observed that group A showed the greatest atrophy. CONCLUSIONS: Our experimental model is valid as a model of BT, in group A, without PX, a total of 16 BT occurred while in the groups with PX the number of BT fell, as did the serum figures for TNF-alpha.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La translocación bacteriana (TB) provoca sepsis de origen intestinal y a pesar de los avances actuales existe una elevada morbimortalidad por sepsis por esta causa. Hemos querido investigar si una sustancia inmunomoduladora como es la pentoxifilina (PX), podía disminuir o inhibir la TB. Hemos elegido la PX por tener acciones inmunomoduladoras y por inhibir la síntesis y la actuación del TNF-alfa, que parece tener relación con el avance hasta el fallo multiorgánico en estos cuadros. Material y método: Se realiza un estudio experimental con 4 grupos de 20 ratas Wistar a las que se les ha sometido a una nutrición parenteral sin lípidos (NP) durante 7 días. Al grupo A: NP; grupo B: NP + 50mg/kg de PX; grupo C: NP + 100mg/kg y grupo D: NP + 134m/kg. Al 7º día se extrae de forma estéril la cadena ganglionar mesentérica, hígado, sangre e intestino, estas muestras se procesan para realizar el estudio microbiológico cuantitativo y cualitativo, estudio histológico de la mucosa intestinal y cuantificación del TNF-alfa. A los datos obtenidos se les aplica un estudio estadístico. Resultados: En el estudio microbiológico cuantitativo se observó que el en el ganglio linfático, hígado y sangre crecieron más colonias en los animales que pertenecían al grupo A con diferencias estadísticamente significativas. El germen que con más frecuencia se identificó fue E. coli. En el estudio del TNF-alfa, el mayor valor medio lo obtuvo el grupo A, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas. En el estudio histológico se observó que el grupo con más atrofia era el grupo A. Conclusiones: Nuestro modelo experimental es válido como modelo de TB, en el grupo A sin PX se produjeron 16 TB y en los grupos con PX se disminuye el número de TB y las cifras de TNF-alfa en suero (AU)

ABSTRACT

Actinomycosis is a rare chronic infectious disease that usually develops abscesses and fistulas. It can also mimic other diseases such as cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases or diverticulitis. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman with an unusual form of actinomycosis. Clinically, the disease simulated an inflammatory bowel disease. Computerized axial tomography, intestinal transit and colonoscopy were performed and the suspected 1 diagnosis continued to be inflammatory bowel disease. The definitive diagnosis was made after histopathological study of the surgical specimen. We highlight the diagnostic difficulty of this rare disease and the importance of prolonged antibiotic treatment.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Se ha demostrado que la L-arginina mejora la cicatrización de las heridas cutáneas. Sin embargo, no hay estudios que reflejen la influencia de este aminoácido en la cicatrización de las anastomosis cólicas. El presente estudio pretende averiguar si la suplementación de arginina en la nutrición parenteral total mejora la cicatrización de las anastomosis cólicas experimentales. Material y método. Se estudian tres grupos de ratas Wistar (20 animales por grupo), a los que se realizó una anastomosis término-terminal de colon izquierdo y se administró nutrición parenteral isocalórica e isonitrogenada, con distintas concentraciones de L-arginina: A (nutrición estándar) = 4,3 g/l, B (suplementada) = 7,3 g/l y C (suplementada) = 10,3 g/l. El séptimo día postoperatorio se estudió la anastomosis cólica (complicaciones locales, presión de rotura, histología e hidroxiprolina). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo, ANOVA de una vía, test de Newman-Keuls, regresión múltiple y prueba de la *2 de las variables. Resultados. La presión de rotura, la hidroxiprolina, así como el grado de epitelización, fibrosis y neovascularización de las anastomosis fueron mayores de forma significativa en los grupos que recibieron mayor concentración de L-arginina en la nutrición (p < 0,005).Conclusión. El suplemento de L-arginina en la nutrición parenteral de ratas Wistar mejora de forma significativa la cicatrización de las anastomosis cólicas experimentales, como se demuestra con las medidas de presión, la concentración de hidroxiprolina y los criterios histológicos (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Failure to diagnose synchronous tumors leads to errors in patient treatment and prognosis. The existence of metachronous tumors requires strict patient follow-up to ensure early identification of the second tumor. The present study evaluates the results obtained in the application of a structured procedure for the diagnosis and follow-up of multiple colorectal carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A structured procedure was used to follow for 5 years a group of 12 patients with multiple colorectal tumors (7 synchronous and 5 metachronous) of a series of 450 colorectal neoplasms. RESULTS: Six synchronous tumors were diagnosed preoperatively and one intraoperative. Of the 5 metachronous neoplasms, 4 strictly adhered to the follow-up protocol, as a result of which the second tumor was detected at an early stage. The remaining case involved no follow-up, and the second tumor was diagnosed in an advanced stage as a result of bowel occlusion. The left colon was predominantly involved; polyps were detected in 9 cases, while two patients had 3 malignancies detected by histopathological study. COMMENTS: We emphasize the need for a full evaluation of the colon in all patients with colorectal carcinoma. In the case of incomplete preoperative evaluation, intraoperative colonoscopy is to be considered; if this is not feasible it should be performed one month after surgery. A structured follow-up procedure permits the early detection of these tumors, there by improving patient prognosis.

ABSTRACT

The authors present a study in two groups of Wistar rats, which were given two different parenteral nutritions with two different amounts of proteins, during different periods of time (4, 7 and 11 days), with the objective of evaluating their influence on the healing of a colonic anastomosis which was performed prior to the initiation of the TPN. To asses the condition of the colonic anastomosis, we studied the rupture pressure of the colon containing the anastomosis, the hydroxyproline concentration of said anastomosis, and the histological study of the same. The results indicate that the group of animals which were fed with a hyperproteinic diet during a longer period of time, showed a better degree of healing than the rest of the study groups.

ABSTRACT

The syndrome of duodenal obstruction by the mesenteric artery is an infrequent condition that nevertheless was too often diagnosed in the past. The development of modern imaging techniques has presently restricted the diagnosis of this syndrome. We report the case of a 21-year-old patient with superior mesenteric artery-induced duodenal compression syndrome secondary to malnutrition and loss of weight. Diagnosis was confirmed by the evaluation of bowel transit, CT Scan, NMR and angio-MR. Conservative treatment with total parenteral nutrition proved ineffective. Surgical sectioning of the ligament of Treitz and extensive mobilization of the duodenum (Strong's operation) was performed; outcome was unsatisfactory, however. A duodenojejunostomy was performed later, which finally solved the condition. We emphasize the diagnostic usefulness of CT Scan and angio-MR, and the favorable results afforded by duodenojejunostomy.
