RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) is an effective treatment for patients with severe obesity. Patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and patients undergoing revisional surgery have a higher rate of major complications. This study purpose is to evaluate perioperative outcomes of patients with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients with a BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 undergoing BMS between 2015 and 2023 was conducted. A comparative analysis was performed between patients undergoing primary versus revisional surgery. RESULTS: A total of 263 patients were included in the study. Primary procedures were performed in 220 patients (83.7%) and revisional procedures in 43 patients (16.3%). BMS included one anastomosis gastric bypass (n = 183), sleeve gastrectomy (n = 63), and other procedures (n = 17). Mean BMI was 54.6 with no difference between groups. There was no difference in baseline characteristics except the revisional group was older (44.8 ± 9.6 versus 39 ± 13 years; p = 0.006), had higher rates of gastroesophageal reflux disease (21% vs 7.3%; p = 0.005), and fatty liver disease (74% vs 55%; p = 0.02). There was perioperative mortality in three cases (1.1%) with no significant difference between groups. Leak rates were higher, and length of stay (LOS) was longer in the revisional group (4.6% vs 0.45%; p = 0.018 and 2.9 vs 3.7; p = 0.006, respectively). CONCLUSION: Revisional BMS in patients with a BMI ≥ 50 kg/m2 is associated with increased leak rates and LOS. Mortality rate is 1.1% and is insignificantly different between groups. Further prospective and large-scale studies are needed to clarify the optimal surgical approach to patients with extreme BMI including revisional surgery.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The long-term outcomes of patients with staple line leaks (SLL) after SG are under-reported. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with SLL after SG. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of a maintained patient registry of patients undergoing SG between January 2012 and December 2020 in a single bariatric center was analyzed and included patients with SLL. Outcomes were compared to a group without SLL. RESULTS: During this period, 1985 patients underwent SG of which 61 patients (3.1%) developed leak. 26 patients (1.3%) had overt SLL and the rest had organ space infection around the staple line. The mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 39.8 ± 11.3 and 41.5 ± 4.7, respectively. 7 patients (11.4%) underwent concomitant surgery and 12 patients (19.7%) had intraoperative complications. Leak was complicated by Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3 in 31 patients (50.8%). Reoperation rate was 27.8% (n = 17). ≥ 2 interventions were required in 26% of patients (n = 16). Two patients died during hospitalization due to septic complications. Long-term follow-up of median 121 months was available in 78% of the cohort (n = 48). The median total weight loss and BMI were 27% and 30.1 kg/m2, respectively. Weight loss outcomes were higher in comparison to patients without SLL. Seven patients (14.6%) underwent SG revision. All associated medical problems improved during follow-up except for gastroesophageal reflux which was found in 50% of cohort. CONCLUSION: Long-term outcomes of SG patients with SLL are satisfactory in terms of weight loss, resolution of comorbidities, and requirement for surgical revision.

RESUMO

Revisional Bariatric Surgery (RBS) is increasing in popularity. Elderly patients (> 65 years old) are sometimes referred for RBS evaluation. The aim of this study is to evaluate outcomes of elderly patients undergoing RBS. A retrospective analysis of a cohort from a single-tertiary bariatric center. All elderly patients undergoing RBS after restrictive procedures between 2012 and 2022 were included. Thirty Nine patients undergoing RBS were included in the comparative analysis - 23 patients (57.5%) after adjustable gastric banding (s/p LAGB) and 16 patients (40%) after Sleeve Gastrectomy (s/p SG). The mean age and body mass index (BMI) of patients were comparable (67.2 ± 2.8 years and 38.3 ± 7.4, respectively). There was no difference in associated medical problems except reflux which was higher in s/p SG (68% vs. 13%; p < 0.001). The mean time interval between surgeries was 8.7 ± 5.1 years. The surgeries included One anastomosis gastric bypass (n = 22), SG (n = 8) and Roux-en-y gastric bypass (n = 9). Early major complication rates were comparable (4.3% and 12.5%; p = 0.36), and readmission rate was higher in patients s/p SG (p = 0.03). Ninety percent of patients were available to a follow-up of 59.8 months. The mean BMI and total weight loss was 29.2 and 20.3%, respectively with no difference between groups. The rate of patients with associated medical problems at last follow-up was significantly reduced. Five patients (12.5%) underwent revisional surgery due to complications during follow-up. In conclusion, RBS in the elderly is associated with a reasonable complication rate and is effective in terms of weight loss and improvement of associated medical problems in a 5-year follow-up.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is gaining popularity worldwide due to its safety and effectiveness. OAGB is the most commonly performed metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) in Israel. Israel is the only country where OAGB is the most prevalent MBS. Our aim is to address OAGB technical aspects using a national survey completed by members of the Israeli Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ISMBS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: An online-survey composed of a 17-item-based questionnaire was sent to ISMBS members. All responses were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 47/64 (73.4%) ISMBS members participated in the survey. Most surgeons (74.5%) had > 10 years of MBS experience, and most (61.7%) performed > 100 MBS/year. The majority (78.7%) perform OAGB as their most common procedure. Most surgeons fashion a 10-15-cm pouch and use a 36-Fr bougie, (57.4% and 38.3%). Regarding bowel length measurement, 70% use visual estimation and 10.6% routinely measure total small bowel length (TSBL). The most common reasons for creating a longer biliopancreatic limb (BPL) were high body mass index (BMI) and revisional surgery (83.3% and 66%, respectively). In a primary procedure of a patient with a BMI = 40, most (76.6%) would create a 150-200-cm BPL. In patients with a BMI > 50 or revisional cases, most (70.2% and 68.0%) would create a 175-225-cm BPL. CONCLUSION: OAGB is the most prevalent MBS performed in Israel. This survey showed common preferences and variations among ISMBS members. Further studies are needed in order to standardize and build a consensus on OAGB technique.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) prevalence is increasing worldwide and shows good mid- to long-term results. Data on long-term outcomes of revisional OAGB (rOAGB) is limited. This study's objective was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing primary OAGB (pOAGB) and rOAGB. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained patient registry at a single-tertiary center. Patients undergoing OAGB from January 2015 to May 2016 were included and grouped into pOAGB and rOAGB. RESULTS: There were 424 patients, of which 363 underwent pOAGB, and 61 underwent rOAGB. Baseline characteristics were insignificantly different between groups except for the type 2 diabetes (T2D) rate which was higher in pOAGB (26% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.01). The mean follow-up time was 98.5 ± 3.9 months, and long-term follow-up data were available for 52.5% of patients. The mean total weight loss (TWL) was higher in the pOAGB group (31.3 ± 14 vs. 24.1 ± 17.6, p = 0.006); however, TWL was comparable when relating to the weight at primary surgery for rOAGB. The rate of T2D and hypertension resolution was 79% and 72.7% with no difference between groups. Thirteen patients (5.9%) underwent OAGB revision during follow-up, with no difference between groups. Two deaths occurred during follow-up, both non-related to OAGB. CONCLUSION: OAGB is effective as a primary and as a revisional procedure for severe obesity with good long-term results in terms of weight loss and resolution of associated diseases. In addition, the revisional surgery rates and chronic complications are acceptable. Further large prospective studies are required to clarify these data.

RESUMO

Objective: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare, but their incidence has risen significantly in recent years. Whereas diabetes mellitus (DM) is recognized in association with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, it has not been well-characterized concerning non-functioning (NF)-PNETs.Study aim: to determine whether NF-PNETs are associated with DM/ Pre-DM and characterize the features of this putative association. Methods: Retrospective study to evaluate rate of Pre-DM /DM in subjects with NF-PNETs. Results: Study cohort of 129 patients with histologically confirmed NF-PNETs, ∼60% were men (M/F: 77/52). Abnormal glucose metabolism that preceded any treatment was seen in 70% of this cohort: overt DM in 34% and Pre-DM in 36% of the subjects. However, during follow-up, the overall prevalence rose to 80.6%, owing exclusively to newly diagnosed DM in subjects who received treatment.Patients with DM/Pre-DM were older (65 ± 11; 54 ± 14; p < 0.0001), the tumor was more commonly localized in the pancreatic body and tail (76.5% vs. 23.5% p = 0.03), while BMI (27 ± 6 vs. 28 ± 5 kg/m2), and tumor size (2.4 ± 2 vs. 2.9 ± 3.2 cm) were similar. The relative prevalence of DM in our cohort of NF-PNETs was 1.6 higher than that in the age and gender-adjusted general Israeli population (95 %CI: 1.197-2.212p = 0.03). Conclusions: We found a high rate of impaired glucose metabolism, either DM or Pre-DM, in a large cohort of NF-PNETs. The high prevalence of diabetes/pre-diabetes was unrelated to obesity or tumor size. This observation should increase awareness of the presence of DM on presentation or during treatment of "NF"-PNETs.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Modern systemic therapy has revolutionized the treatment of melanoma. Currently, patients with clinically involved lymph nodes require lymphadenectomy with associated morbidities. Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography (PET-CT) has demonstrated accuracy in melanoma detection and response to therapy. We aimed to identify whether a PET-CT directed lymphatic resection after systemic therapy is oncologically sound. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of patients who underwent lymphadenectomy after systemic therapy for melanoma with a preoperative PET-CT. Examined demographic, clinical, and perioperative parameters including extent of disease, systemic therapy and response, and PET-CT findings compared to pathological outcomes. We compared patients with "as or less than expected" outcomes on pathology against those with "more than expected" pathological outcomes. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients met inclusion criteria. In 28 (71.8%), pathological outcomes were "as or less than expected" by PET-CT, and in 11 (28.2%) pathological outcome were "more than expected". "More than expected" occurred more frequently with advanced disease at presentation with 75% presenting with regional/metastatic disease versus only 42.9% in the "as or less than expected" group (p = 0.015). Poor response to therapy also trended towards the "more than expected" group with only 27.3% favorable response versus 53.6% favorable response in the "as or less than expected" group, not statistically significant. Extent of disease on imaging failed to predict pathological concordance. CONCLUSION: PET-CT underestimates pathological extent of disease in the lymphatic basin in 30% of patients after systemic therapy. We failed to identify predictors of more extensive disease and warn against limited PET-CT directed lymphatic resections.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The recommended treatment for resectable pancreatic cancer (PC) is resection followed by adjuvant FOLFIRINOX. We assessed the proportion of patients that managed to complete the 12 courses of adjuvant FOLFIRINOX and compared their outcome with that of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) who underwent resection after neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on a prospectively maintained database of all PC patients who underwent resection with (2/2015-12/2021) or without (1/2018-12/2021) neoadjuvant therapy. RESULTS: A total of 100 patients underwent upfront resection, and 51 patients with BRPC received neoadjuvant treatment. Only 46 resection patients started adjuvant FOLFIRINOX, and only 23 completed 12 courses. The main reasons for not starting/completing adjuvant therapy were poor tolerance and rapid recurrence. Significantly more patients in the neoadjuvant group received at least six FOLFIRINOX courses (80.4% vs. 31%, p < 0.001). Patients who completed at least 6 courses, either pre- or postoperatively, had better overall survival (p = 0.025) than those who did not. In spite of having more advanced disease, the neoadjuvant group had comparable overall survival (p = 0.062) regardless of the number of treatment courses. CONCLUSION: Only a minority of patients (23%) undergoing upfront pancreatic resection completed the planned 12 courses of FOLFIRINOX. Patients who received neoadjuvant treatment were significantly more likely to receive at least six treatment courses. Patients receiving at least six courses had better overall survival than those who received fewer than six courses, regardless of the timing of treatment relative to surgery. Potential ways to increase chemotherapy adherence, such as administering treatment before surgery, should be considered.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Short-term perioperative administration of probiotics was shown to alleviate postoperative complications and promote liver recovery among patients undergoing resection for liver malignancy. The mechanisms by which probiotic bacteria effectively influence the gut microbiome composition during the perioperative time are controversial. Here, we aim to elucidate the short-term direct biological effect of probiotic microbiota-derived vesicles on host liver cells during the perioperative period. METHODS: Probiotic-derived vesicles (pbMVs) were administered postoperatively. pbMVs were isolated and characterized from probiotics, mainly from the bacteria genus Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Lactococcus. Mice underwent bile duct ligation, sham laparotomy (SHAM), or 70% partial hepatectomy (70%PH). pbMVs were tracked in vivo, and intrahepatic cellular and molecular aspects were analyzed by flow cytometry and qRT-PCR techniques. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) analysis for Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1(VCAM-1) expression following pbMV stimulation of cultured liver non-parenchymal cells which had been activated by LPS. RESULTS: The administered pbMV rapidly translocated to the liver after surgery. pbMV administrations following surgeries enhanced neutrophil clearance; there was a dramatic decline in the liver neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio Ly6G+/CD3+ and an increase in IL6 levels. pbMVs reduced intrahepatic VCAM1 and ICAM2 expression compared with control following SHAM and decrease in IL10 levels following 70%PH. The administration of pbMV improved liver regeneration 72 hours following surgical liver resection with a significant decrease in IL17 expression. pbMVs modulated VCAM-1 on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver cell culture. CONCLUSIONS: Our study findings provide mechanistic insights into the liver-gut axis following surgery and illustrate how probiotic vesicles can reduce adhesion molecule expression and affect immune cell invasion and liver immunity, resulting in improved liver recovery following hepatic surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is common after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). We aimed to evaluate the effect of revisional one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) on GERD, compared with revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) METHODS: A retrospective single-center study of a prospectively maintained patient registry (2018-2022). All patients with GERD undergoing OAGB and RYGB after SG were retrieved and included in the study. RESULTS: Seventy-eight SG patients had conversion to OAGB (n=31) and RYGB (n=47). Baseline characteristics were similar except age (43.8±11.5 vs. 50.3±13.4 years; p=0.03), body mass index (39.9±8.8 vs. 30.6±6 kg/m2; p<0.001), time interval (8±2.7 vs. 6.4±3.4 years; p=0.01), and sleep apnea (29% vs 8.5%; p=0.01), respectively. There was no significant difference between groups in number of patients consuming proton pump inhibitors (70.1% vs. 72.3%; p=0.66), GERD-health-related quality of life (HRQL) score (9.6±7.2 vs. 13.1±8; p=0.06), and pathological endoscopic findings (48.4% vs. 46.8%; p=0.89). Major complication rates were 0% vs. 8.5% (p=0.09). At 32.4 months follow-up, total weight loss was 22%±12.9 and 4.4%±14.6 (p<0.001), GERD resolution 77.4% and 91.9% (p=0.03), HRQL scoring improved to 1.7±4.5 and 1.7±2.7; p=0.94 for OAGB and RYGB, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: SG conversion to RYGB provides better chances for definitive treatment of GERD. OAGB results in good symptom resolution and improved quality of life and may be considered for post-SG GERD treatment. The most appropriate solution should be individualized to each patient.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is in continuous decline due to low effectiveness and high reoperation rates. This study aims to evaluate outcomes of converting LAGB to one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) for insufficient weight loss or weight regain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective comparative study, based on prospective registry database of a tertiary center (2012-2019). RESULTS: In all, 276 LAGB patients were converted to OAGB (n = 125) and SG (n = 151). Body mass index (BMI) at revision was 41.3 ± 6.6 and 42.3 ± 9.6 kg/m2 (P = 0.34) in OAGB and SG patients, respectively. Time interval was longer in OAGB patients (p < 0.001). Major early complication rates were comparable (2.4% and 4%; p = 0.46). At 5-years, OAGB patients had lower BMI (31.9 vs. 34.5 kg/m2; p = 0.002), and a higher total weight loss (25.1% vs. 18.8%; p = 0.003), compared with SG patients. Resolution of type 2 diabetes was higher in OAGB patients (93.3% vs. 66.6%; p = 0.047), while resolution of hypertension was not significantly different (84.6% and 80.5%; p = 0.68). Revision due to delayed complications was required in five (4%) OAGB patients and nine (8.6%) SG patients (p = 0.14). CONCLUSION: OAGB for revision after LAGB due to insufficient weight loss or weight regain is safe, and has better effectiveness in weight reduction and resolution of type 2 diabetes than SG.

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic value of lymph node (LN) involvement and the LN ratio (LNR) and their effect on recurrence rates and survival in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) undergoing surgery. This single-center retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 95 consecutive patients diagnosed with PNETs who underwent surgery at our medical center between 1997 and 2017. The retrieved information included patient demographics, pathology reports, treatments, and oncological outcomes. Results: 95 consecutive potentially suitable patients were identified. The 78 patients with PNETs who underwent surgery and for whom there was adequate data were included in the analysis. Their mean ± standard deviation age at diagnosis was 57.4 ± 13.4 years (range 20-82), and there were 50 males (64%) and 28 females (36%). 23 patients (30%) had LN metastases (N1). The 2.5- and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates for the entire cohort were 79.5% and 71.8%, respectively, and their 2- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 85.9% and 82.1%, respectively. The optimal value of the LNR was 0.1603, which correlated with the outcome (2-year OS p = 0.002 HR = 13.4 and 5-year DFS p = 0.016 HR = 7.2, respectively, and 5-year OS and 5-year DFS p = 0.004 HR = 9 and p = 0.001 HR = 10.6, respectively). However, the multivariate analysis failed to show that the LNR was an independent prognostic factor in PNETs. Patients with PNETs grade and stage are known key prognostic factors influencing OS and DFS. According to our results, LNR failed to be an independent prognostic factor.

RESUMO

Candidates of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) are prone for gallstone formation. Concomitant cholecystectomy (CC) during MBS is controversial. This study is first to examine the safety of CC during one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), compared with sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Single-center retrospective comparative study of CC (2012-2021) during OAGB, to SG and RYGB. CC was performed in 115 patients during OAGB (n = 50), SG (n = 39), and RYGB (n = 26). All procedures were completed laparoscopically. Baseline characteristics were similar except age, body mass index, gastroesophageal reflux disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and previous MBS (p < 0.05). Intraoperative complications occurred in one OAGB patient (2% vs. 0%, 0%; p = 0.52), which was not cholecystectomy related. There were no differences in total (6% vs. 2.6%, 15.4%; p = 0.13) and major (2% vs. 0%, 3.8; p = 0.50) early-complication rates. Of them, cholecystectomy-related complications occurred in one OAGB, compared with none of SG and one RYGB (2% vs. 0%, 3.8%; p = 0.50). The former was major, and the latter was minor complication. None of the OAGB patients needed re-admission (0% vs. 0%, 11.5; p = 0.04). All CC outcome parameters were similar between asymptomatic and symptomatic gallstones. Previous bariatric procedures were found to be a significant risk for major complications and readmissions (OR = 16.87, p = 0.019). CC during OAGB for gallstones seems safe, as in SG and RYGB. No cholecystectomy-related intraoperative complications occurred, and postoperative complication rates were low and acceptable. Outcomes for asymptomatic gallstones were similar to symptomatic ones, and we cautiously support CC in the presence of gallstones.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal metastases of colorectal carcinoma origin (PM-CRC) are treated by cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). However, the majority of patients recur, calling for novel treatments. We explored the immunogenic changes induced by HIPEC and the possibility to use thymosin α1 (Tα1) as an immune-stimulatory agent. METHODS: We used an experimental murine model of PM-CRC combined with mitomycin (MMC)-based HIPEC. We determined immune cell infiltration into tumor metastases after HIPEC administration by means of immunohistochemistry, and determined immunogenic cell death signals in tumor cells by real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Mice with PM-CRC treated by HIPEC had increased overall survival (OS) compared to sham-treated mice (median OS 22.8 vs 18.9 days, respectively; P < 0.001). HIPEC induced increased infiltration of CD4+, CD8+, CD68 + and CD20 + cells into omental and visceral metastases at a magnitude of 40-100 %. We searched for potential immune signals induced by HIPEC by determining its effects on known immunogenic cell death proteins (heat-shock protein [HSP]-70, HSP-90 and calreticulin). HIPEC significantly increased HSP-90 mRNA expression (2.37 ± 1.5 vs 1-fold change, P < 0.05). The OS of Tα1 treated mice significantly improved compared to HIPEC-treated mice (16.3 ± 0.8 vs 14.1 ± 0.6 days, respectively, P = 0.02) and vs sham (11.8 ± 0.8 days, P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: HIPEC induced immunogenic changes that led to increased immune cell infiltration. These changes were further augmented by Tα1 treatment. Future studies aimed at optimizing Tα1 treatment should focus upon the immune response it evokes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was shown to induce immunogenicity of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (PM-CRC) by induction of immunogenic cell death. We aimed to explore whether the addition of a checkpoint inhibitor would augment the effect of HIPEC in an experimental murine model of PM-CRC. METHODS: PM-CRC was established in C57BL mice by intraperitoneal inoculation of MC38 colon cancer cells. HIPEC was administered using the closed technique with mitomycin C (MMC). Clinical and immunological parameters were compared between animals treated with HIPEC alone and those treated with HIPEC + anti-programmed death receptor-1 (aPD-1). RESULTS: MMC-based HIPEC increased the overall survival of animals compared with sham-treated animals (22.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 21.14-24.53 vs. 18.9 days; 95% CI 17.6-20.3, p < 0.001). The extent of peritoneal disease as measured by the modified peritoneal carcinomatosis index was also reduced by HIPEC. This clinical benefit was accompanied by increased infiltration of CD8+, CD68+, and CD20+ cells into tumor metastases in HIPEC-treated animals compared with sham-treated animals. We identified heat shock protein (HSP) 90 as a potential immunogenic cell death protein whose expression is increased under HIPEC conditions (fold change: 2.37 ± 1.5 vs. 1 without HIPEC, p < 0.05). Combined HIPEC + PD-1 treatment ameliorated survival compared with HIPEC alone and sham treatment (24.66; 95% CI 20.13-29.2 vs. 19; 95% CI 15.85-22.14 and 14.33 days; 95% CI 9.6-19.04, respectively; p = 0.008). This clinical effect was accompanied by increased CD8+ tumor infiltration. CONCLUSIONS: HIPEC induced the expression of immunogenic cell death signals that can support an anti-tumor immune response. This response can be further exploited by a checkpoint inhibitor.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: As life expectancy increases, more elderly patients are being considered for metabolic bariatric surgery. We aimed to assess the safety and long-term effectiveness of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) compared to sleeve gastrectomy (SG). METHODS: Single-center retrospective comparative study of OAGB and SG (2012-2019) in patients aged ≥ 65 years. RESULTS: In all, 124 patients underwent OAGB (n = 41) and SG (n = 83). Mean age was 67.6 ± 2.8 and 67.6 ± 2.6 years (p = 0.89), respectively. Baseline characteristics were comparable, except lower rates of hypertension (HTN) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in OAGB than SG patients (43.9% vs. 74.6%; p < 0.001, and 39.0% vs. 89.1%; p < 0.001, respectively). Body mass index (BMI) of OAGB and SG patients decreased from 41.8 ± 7.8 and 43.3 ± 5.9 kg/m2 (p = 0.25) to 28.6 ± 4.7 and 33.2 ± 5.3 (p < 0.001), at long-term follow-up, respectively. Excess weight loss (EWL) > 50% was achieved in 80.6% and 43.2% of OAGB and SG patients, with a mean EWL of 67.2% ± 22.3 and 45.8% ± 18.0 (p < 0.001) and a mean total weight loss (TWL) of 30.7% ± 10.4 and 21.9% ± 8.1 (p < 0.001), respectively. Resolution rates of obesity-associated medical problems were similar, except type 2 diabetes (T2D) and HTN, which were 86.6% and 73.3% in OAGB, compared with 29.7% and 36.3% in SG patients (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001), respectively. Major early complication rates were comparable (2.4% vs. 3.6%; p = 0.73, respectively). Revision for late complications was required in two OAGB patients. CONCLUSIONS: OAGB in the elderly is safe and results in better long-term weight reduction and resolution of T2D and HTN than SG.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Major abdominal wall defects remain a highly morbid complication. Occasionally a fascial defect is encountered, that despite all surgical efforts, is unable to completely approximate at the midline. Here we describe our method and outcomes of using a bridging mesh when the posterior fascia was unable to be approximated during the repair of large postoperative ventral hernias using the modified Rives-Stoppa technique. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted looking at all the open abdominal wall hernia repairs between 2014 and 2020. The cohort of patients who had a bridge placed in addition to the traditional open modified Rives-Stoppa repair were used for this study. RESULTS: Nineteen patients had a mesh inlay bridge placed in addition to a modified Rives-Stoppa repair with a sublay (retrorectus) Ultrapro mesh. For the inlay mesh 13 Symbotex composite meshes were placed and 6 Vicryl meshes used. The average surface area of the defect was 358.1 cm^2. The average length of hospitalization was 8.8 days with a range of 3-24 days. During the immediate postoperative course there were 6 minor complications. During the follow-up period there were 2 recurrences. DISCUSSION: The use of inlay mesh bridge as an adjuvant to a modified Rives-Stoppa repair with a sublay ultrapro mesh is an effective technique for difficult abdominal wall repairs where the posterior fascia is unable to be approximated without tension.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most popular bariatric surgery. Nonetheless, only a few studies have reported its long-term outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate changes in weight and body mass index (BMI) parameters, resolution of comorbidities, and frequency of re-operations in a follow-up period of at least 10 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data was available from 180 patients' records who underwent SG between 2008 and 2011 in the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. Eighty patients agreed to partake in a follow-up assessment that was completed via a phone call questionnaire and hospital computed registry. RESULTS: Patients' mean preoperative BMI was 43.86 ± 6.36 kg/m2 which was significantly higher when compared to mean nadir BMI and last follow-up BMI (29.44 ± 7.12 and 36.34 ± 9.7; p < 0.001). Mean percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) at 10 years was 42.65 ± 36.02% and mean percentage of total weight loss was 19.33 ± 16.73%. Twenty-eight patients (35%) maintained at least 50% EWL. Twenty-seven (33.75%) patients underwent at least one surgical procedure following SG. Eleven patients (13.75%) underwent a conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and six patients (7.5%) underwent conversion to one anastomosis gastric bypass. Resolution of type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia occurred in 47%, 43.7%, and 48.4%, respectively. De-novo cases of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) were present in 40%. CONCLUSION: SG shows high long-term failure rates. One of every three patients will undergo another surgical procedure within a 10-year period.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) were reportedly safe for the elderly. However, long-term survival data in this subgroup of patients are scarce. Our aim was to evaluate the peri-operative and long-term outcomes of CRS + HIPEC in colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRC-PM) in patients ≥70 years of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed our combined institutional databases for patients who underwent CRS + HIPEC for CRC-PM. Clinical and pathological characteristics, as well as overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between the groups. Tumor extent was measured by the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) and completeness of cytoreduction by the CCR score. Major morbidity was defined according to Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS: The dataset of 159 patients included 33 elderly and 126 non-elderly patients. Clinical characteristics between the groups differed only in medical comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index 10 vs. 7, P < 0.001) and delivery of post-HIPEC adjuvant treatment (12.5% vs. 43.8%, P = 0.004). Overall PCI and CCR0 rates were similar between the groups, as were length of stay and major morbidity and mortality rates. Long-term outcomes in the elderly group were lower than those of the non-elderly (median OS: 21.8 vs. 40.5 months, P < 0.001; median PFS: 6 vs. 8 months, P = 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: CRS + HIPEC in selected elderly patients can be safe in terms of postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, despite the same surgical extents and radicality, their long-term outcomes are inferior, possibly due to under-usage of systemic chemotherapy.
