Effect of 3D laparoscopy versus traditional laparotomy on serum tumor markers and coagulation function in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of Three-Dimensional (3D) laparoscopy compared to traditional laparotomy on serum tumor markers and coagulation function in patients diagnosed with early-stage Endometrial Cancer (EC). METHOD: The authors retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 75 patients diagnosed with early-stage EC and categorized them into two groups based on the surgical techniques employed. The 3D group consisted of 36 patients who underwent 3D laparoscopic surgery, while the Laparotomy group comprised 39 patients who underwent traditional laparotomy. The authors then compared the alterations in serum tumor markers and coagulation function between the two groups. RESULTS: Postoperatively, serum levels of CA125, CA199, and HE4 were notably reduced in both groups on the third day, with the levels being more diminished in the 3D group than in the Laparotomy Group (p < 0.05). Conversely, FIB levels escalated significantly in both groups on the third-day post-surgery, with a more pronounced increase in the 3D group. Additionally, PT and APTT durations were reduced and were more so in the 3D group than in the laparotomy group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: When juxtaposed with traditional laparotomy, 3D laparoscopic surgery for early-stage EC appears to be more efficacious, characterized by reduced complications, and expedited recovery. It can effectively mitigate serum tumor marker levels, attenuate the inflammatory response and damage to immune function, foster urinary function recovery, and enhance the quality of life. However, it exerts a more significant influence on the patient's coagulation parameters, necessitating meticulous prevention and treatment strategies for thromboembolic events in clinical settings.

Three-dimensional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer: A 2-year follow-up study at Hue Central Hospital.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery has brought about a revolution in clinical practice since its inception. Using a new generation three-dimensional (3D) HD laparoscopic system can be seen as a beneficial "hybrid" created by fusing two different elements: increased vision quality and the viability and diffusion of laparoscopy. This study aims to determine the surgical outcomes and two-year survival of colorectal cancer patients after 3D laparoscopic surgery. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 60 patients with a definitive diagnosis of primary colorectal cancer. All patients underwent 3D laparoscopic colorectal resection from January 2020 to December 2021 by a single surgical team. Data were prospectively collected from Hue Central Hospital, including operative parameters and survival time. Results: The mean age was 62.0 ± 10.6 years old. D3 lymphadenectomy accounted for most cases (96.7 %). There were no intraoperative complications or conversion to open surgery. The mean operation time was 162.3 ± 25.8 min. Postoperative complications included incisional fluid collection (5 %), wound infection (3.3 %), and drainage site bleeding (1.7 %). The average length of hospital stay was 10.4 ± 4.6 days. Overall survival rate after two years was 93 %. Conclusions: 3D laparoscopic surgery for radical treatment of colorectal cancer is feasible, effective, and safe. This surgical technique offers a positive prognosis for patients.

Clinical study of the combined use of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing 3D laparoscopic surgery with EEG bispectral index monitoring.

OBJECTIVE: This study sought to investigate the safety and clinical outcomes associated with the combined administration of dexmedetomidine (Dex) and remifentanil (Rem) in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic surgery, with concurrent monitoring of the electroencephalography (EEG) bispectral index. METHODS: This study is of a retrospective nature and involved a total of 60 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent 3D laparoscopic surgery at our hospital between June 2020 and September 2021. In a double-blind manner, these patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the control group (Group I), which consisted of 30 patients, and the treatment group (Group II) receiving a combination of Dex and Rem, also comprising 30 patients. The study's primary objective was to compare and assess the treatment outcomes in these two patient groups. RESULTS: Patients in Group II who developed postoperative coronary heart disease experienced a significant reduction in blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiogram values (P<0.05). Additionally, Group II exhibited lower bispectral index (BIS) and visual analog scale (VAS) values (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: In patients with coronary heart disease undergoing 3D laparoscopic surgery, the intraoperative use of Dex combined with Rem anesthesia offers several advantages. It helps stabilize hemodynamics, reducing the risk of myocardial ischemia, and significantly alleviates postoperative pain, all without increasing the likelihood of adverse postoperative reactions. Furthermore, this approach effectively dampens the intraoperative and postoperative stress response, facilitating enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Overall, the clinical impact is positive, safe, and reliable.

Splenic lymphoma with complex gastro-spleno-diaphragmatic fistula: 3D laparoscopic multivisceral resection. The first literature case report.

INTRODUCTION: Gastrosplenic fistula is a rare disease involving stomach and spleen that can lead to dangerous complications like massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBC) is the principal pathological cause of gastrosplenic fistula. CASE REPORT: We report a case of A 76-year-old caucasian woman came to the emergency room with fever for two week and gravative pain in left upper quadrant of the abdomen. CT scan of thorax and abdomen demonstrated an inhomogeneous hypodense large lymphomatous mass (10 × 6 cm) of upper pole of the spleen deformating medial profile and infiltrating gastric fundus and left diaphragm. with the diagnosis of complex gastro-splenic-diaphragmatic fistula we performed an en-block resection using a 3D laparoscopic vision system. DISCUSSION: Gastrosplenic fistula is a rare complication of several clinical conditions. Among the different causes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most frequent although diffuse histiocytic lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma are also described. After a literature review we found less then 30 cases of gastrosplenic fistula secondary to lymphoma. In our case report we do the first description of three-organs fistula envolvement, stomach, spleen and diaphragmatic dome, managed with 3D laparoscopic approach. CONCLUSION: Gastrosplenic fistula can represent a fatal evolution of splenic or gastric lymphoma independently from chemotherapy treatment. The diagnosis of this condition is very difficult and related to its rarity. To our opinion, laparoscopy represents a valid and safe alternative to open surgery in management of these patients.

Dedifferentiated retroperitoneal large liposarcoma and laparoscopic treatment: Is it possible and safe? The first literature case report.

INTRODUCTION: Soft tissue sarcomas are rare neoplasms often characterized by local invasiveness and distant metastasis with poor prognosis for affected patients. Among the most frequent sarcomas we find well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcomas characterized by a better survival compared to the other histological types. When it is possible the only curative treatment for these neoplasms is surgical resection. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a 62-year-old caucasian woman with CT abdominal scan that demonstrated a voluminous solid oval mass in the left perirenal space with dislocation of the kidney and in continuity with the anterior renal fascia. After a percutaneous CT-guided biopsy of the mass the histopathological diagnosis was a dedifferentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma. We performed a laparoscopic surgical resection of the retroperitoneal mass in block with kidney and left adrenal gland. DISCUSSION: When possible, surgical resection with adequate margins represents the only curative therapeutic option for this pathology. Only a few papers are available in literature which take into consideration the possibility of laparoscopic approach for retroperitoneal masses with better vision of surgical field, reduction of post-operative pain and better cosmesis. CONCLUSION: A retroperitoneal mass represents a serious diagnostic challenge. The choice of the best surgical procedure can benefit to the patient prognosis. To our opinion laparoscopy can be a safe and successful treatment and it can represent a valid alternative to open surgery. However, we have no randomized controlled trials that compare laparoscopic versus open resection for retroperitoneal liposarcomas.

Surgical Management of Diverticular Disease in the Elective Setting.

Diverticulosis is a common condition that has increased in prevalence in industrialized countries over the past century. Estimates of developing diverticular disease in the United states range from 5% by 40 years of age up, to over 80% by age 80. It is estimated that approximately 20% of patients with diverticulosis develop diverticulitis over the course of their lifetime. Diverticular disease can be divided into simple and chronic diverticulitis with various sub categories. There are various instances and circumstances where elective resection is indicated for both complex and simple forms of this disease process. When planning surgery there are general preoperative considerations that are important to be reviewed prior to surgery. There are also more specific considerations depending on secondary problem attributed to diverticulitis, that is, fistula vs stricture. Today, treatment for elective resection includes open, laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Over the last several years we have moved away from open surgery to laparoscopic surgery for elective resection. With the advent of robotic surgery and introduction of 3D laparoscopic surgery the discussion of superiority, equivalence between these modalities, is and should remain an important discussion topic.

Clinical comparative analysis of 3D and 2D laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To compare the clinical efficacies of 3D and 2D laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors and to investigate the pros and cons of 3D laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 134 patients with renal tumors; they underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy between Aug. 2013 and Mar. 2016 by the same surgical group in Changhai Hospital and Changzheng Hospital, Second Military Medical University. Fifty-three cases were included in the 3D laparoscopic partial nephrectomy group and 81 cases in the 2D laparoscopic partial nephrectomy group. The perioperative and follow-up data subjected to comparison and analysis included operative time, estimated blood loss, intraoperative transfusion, warm ischemic time, recovery time of bowel function, length of hospitalization, perioperative complications, and pre- and post-operative glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Results All operation procedures of this study were completed uneventfully without conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy, and surgical margins were negative in all cases. The operative time ([193.40±45.14] vs [217.00±59.19] min, P = 0.015), warm ischemic time ([23.70±6.96] vs [26.60±8.10] min, P = 0.032) and decrease of GFR of the operated kidney ([12.70 + 6.49] vs [15. 10 + 6. 45] mL • min-1 • 1. 73 m2, P = 0. 036) in the 3D group were significantly improved compared with those in the 2D group. However, the estimated blood loss, intraoperative transfusion, recovery time of bowtt function, length of hospitalization and perioperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0. 05). Att the patients with complications were discharged from the hospitat after conservative therapy. During a follow-up of 1-32 months, no patients had acute or chronic renat failure, local recurrence or distant metastasis, and there was no death case. Conclusion Compared with 2D laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, 3D laparoscopic technology can reduce operative time and warm ischemic time, which can help to better conserve renal function.
