RESUMO

Cancers of unknown primary (CUPs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors characterized by a difficult diagnosis. The primitive tumor remains unknown, whereas metastases are the most common manifestation. Occult male breast cancers are very rare types of CUPs. The present study describes the case of a 64-year-old man affected by a CUP of presumed mammary origin. The aim of the article and the present review was to focus on their management. To the best of our knowledge, only thirteen cases have been reported in the literature. Because no specific guidelines are available, various approaches have been applied, influencing the treatment and the prognosis of patients with CUP.

RESUMO

Stapler-less laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is emerging as a new potential affordable cost-effective alternative procedure. However, no pre-clinical data are currently available on human tissue. We aimed to evaluate whether traditionally suturing without the use of surgical stapling may produce a comparable bursting pressure on human gastric tissue. A prospective cohort of consecutive patients undergoing LSG was divided in two groups to compare a barbed extra-mucosal running suture (stapler-less) versus a standard stapler line. A burst pressure test was applied to the gastric specimen employing high-resolution manometric catheter. Type, location and features of the leak were described. We enrolled a total of 40 obese patients, 20 patients for each group. Median burst pressures of the stapler-less group resulted statistically significant increased (p < 0.0001) than the one in standard stapler group. In all cases, leak occurred along the surgical closure site independently from the used technique (group 1 vs 2; p = N.S.), more often at the proximal stomach (p < 0.05). In human ex vivo model, traditional surgical suture (i.e. running hand-sewn) produced an effective temporary closure, with superior resistance to increasing volume and pressure. How this may impact on clinical LSG outcomes needs further evaluations and was not the object of this study.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a minimal invasive, effective and reversible procedure, even if it is burdened by life threatening complications. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: A 39 years-old female patient was admitted to our emergency department for abdominal pain and ileus and underwent an explorative laparoscopy. The LAGB was wrapped around the proximal portion of the stomach determining the erosion and ischemia of the great curvature region. It was removed and a large gastric resection of the great curvature was performed. Subsequently, a gastric leak with pleural abscess occurred with the beginning of the oral diet. It was successfully treated with fasting, intravenous antibiotics and a thoracic tube. DISCUSSION: LAGB is a restrictive procedure that compartmentalizes the upper stomach by placing a tight adjustable band around it. However severe and multiple complications can also occur. Slippage is one of the most frequent and dangerous complication. Partial gastric resection (comparable to sleeve gastrectomy) or total/subtotal gastrectomy on the limit of the scarring tissue is use requested in the latter case, with a high risk of postoperative leak. A strict postoperative follow-up is mandatory in order to early recognize any severe complications. CONCLUSION: Strict follow-up in this special subset of patients, the bariatric ones, is mandatory in order to early identify and correct any postoperative complications, avoiding severe sequelae.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate correlation between rectal wall thickness (RWT) and anorectal pressures, in obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) patients caused by internal rectal prolapse. METHODS: ODS patients and healthy volunteers (HVs) underwent 3D endorectal ultrasound (3D-EUS) and high-resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM); RWT, total rectal wall volume (TRWV), pushing endorectal pressure (PEP), recto-anal gradient were determined RESULTS: We enrolled 35 ODS patients and 25 HVs. Patients showed markedly decreased TRWV, PEP, and recto-anal gradient. Linear correlation was found between markedly reduced TRWV and markedly hypotonic PEP. CONCLUSIONS: HRAM and 3D-EUS could be performed in ODS assessment, to better understand rectal function.
