The aim of this study was to define any benefits in terms early outcome for laparoscopic colectomy patients over 80 years old compared with open colectomy.Sixty-one undergoing colorectal cancer were matched 61 gender, age, year surgery, site cancer, and comorbidity on admission. Independence status admission at discharge from the hospital also evaluated.Mean (standard deviation) age 82.3 (3.5) laparoscopy group 83.1 (3.3) group. Conversion rate 6.1 percent. Operative time 49 minutes longer...
The safety, feasibility and oncological results of laparoscopic resection for advanced colon cancer were evaluated.Seventy consecutive patients with a histologically proven T4 who underwent (LPS) right or left colectomy matched comorbidity on admission (American Society Anesthesiologists score), tumour stage grading 70 open over 10-year period. Short- long-term outcome measures evaluated.The overall conversion rate was 7.1%. Less intra-operative blood loss (P = 0.01), trend toward longer...
Purpose To assess whether changes in diffusion‐weighted MRI (DW‐MRI) and 18 F‐fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( F‐FDG PET/CT), correlate with treatment response to neoadjuvant therapy (NT), as expressed by tumor regression grade (TRG), from locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). Materials Methods Seventeen patients underwent both DW‐MRI F‐FDG‐PET/CT scans before after the end of NT. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mean standardized uptake...
This study was designed to compare laparoscopic vs. open total mesorectal excision for cancer of the rectum on perioperative outcome and quality life.A 187 consecutive unselected patients with rectal who underwent during a seven-year period were prospectively evaluated. Patients monitored 30 days postoperative complications. Quality life evaluated before at one year after surgery.A 108 excision, whereas 79 open. Conversion rate 12 percent. In group, operating time 33 minutes longer (P =...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Gastroenteric neuroendocrine neoplasms (GE‐NENs) display highly variable clinical behavior. In an attempt to assess a better prognostic description, in 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its previous classification, and European Neuroendocrine Tumors Society (ENETS) proposed new grading TNM‐based staging system. current study, authors evaluated significance of these models compared their efficacy describing patients' long‐term survival best model currently...
Many colorectal resections do not meet the minimum of 12 lymph nodes (LNs) recommended by American Joint Committee on Cancer for accurate staging cancer. The aim this study was to investigate factors affecting number adequate nodal yield in specimens subject routine pathological assessment. We have retrospectively analysed data 2319 curatively resected cancer patients San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, between 1993 and 2017 (1259 colon 675 rectal plus 385 who underwent neoadjuvant...
Purpose To prospectively investigate the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculated from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as a potential prognostic biomarker in evaluation aggressiveness gastric cancer. Materials and Methods This prospective study had institutional review board approval. Informed consent was obtained all patients. Between October 2009 December 2013, total 99 patients (65 men, 34 women; mean age, 62.02 years; age range, 32.33–85.15 years) with...
Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention. Approximately 20% AA cases are characterized by complications such as gangrene, abscesses, perforation, or diffuse peritonitis, which increase patients' morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis can be difficult, evaluation clinical signs, laboratory index imaging should part management patients with suspicion AA.This consensus statement was written in relation to recent evidence for diagnosis...
Abstract Objective: To investigate the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) when applied to 7th TNM classification in staging and prognosis gastric cancer (GC). Methods: Between October 2009 May 2014, a total 89 patients with non-metastatic, biopsy proven GC underwent 1.5T DW-MRI, then treated radical surgery. Tumor ADC was measured retrospectively compared final histology following (local invasion, nodal involvement...
