One hundred consecutive patients had a primary Nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease. None of the previous gastric or esophageal surgery evidence stricture motility disorder. The symptom was persistent heartburn in 89 and aspiration 11. An abnormal pattern acid exposure documented all with 24-hour pH monitoring. By actuarial analysis, operation 91% effective control symptoms over 10-year period. incidence postoperative symptomatic gas bloat increased flatus lower...
The aim of this study was to investigate 3-year survival following a randomized controlled trial comparing minimally invasive with open esophagectomy in patients esophageal cancer.Research on (MIE) has shown faster postoperative recovery and marked decrease pulmonary complications. Debate is ongoing as whether the procedure equivalent resection regarding oncologic outcomes. follow-up TIME-trial (traditional vs esophagectomy, multicenter, trial).Between June 2009 March 2011, resectable...
Objective: To define "best possible" outcomes in total minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy (ttMIE). Background: TtMIE, performed by experts patients with low comorbidity, may serve as a benchmark procedure for esophagectomy. Patients and Methods: From cohort of 1057 ttMIE, over 5-year period 13 high-volume centers esophageal surgery, we selected study group 334 (31.6%) that fulfilled criteria comorbidity (American Society Anesthesiologists score ≤2, WHO/ECOG ≤1, age ≤65 years,...
Abstract Background The minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) is widely being implemented for esophageal cancer in order to reduce morbidity and improve quality of life. Non‐randomized studies investigating the mid‐term life after MIE show conflicting results at 1‐year follow‐up. Therefore, aim this study determine whether has a continuing better than open (OE) indicating both faster recovery less procedure‐related symptoms. Methods A one‐year follow‐up analysis was conducted patients...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims investigate surgeons' knowledge perception of using clinical
BACKGROUND Surgery is the standard treatment for patients with resectable esophageal carcinoma, but long term prognosis of these unsatisfactory. Some randomized trials preoperative chemotherapy suggest that who respond may be improved. METHODS This randomized, controlled trial compared clinically epidermoid carcinoma underwent surgery alone (Arm A) those received B). Overall survival and prognostic impact major response to were analyzed. Forty-eight enrolled in each arm. Chemotherapy...
BackgroundSurgery for malignant disease carries a high risk of deep vein thrombosis. The aim this study was to evaluate the prophylactic effect low molecular weight heparin, enoxaparin, 40 mg once daily, beginning 2 h before surgery, compared with that unfractionated low-dose heparin three times daily.
• From 1976 to 1989, 206 patients referred for primary treatment of esophageal achalasia underwent transabdominal Heller's myotomy and anterior fundoplication according the Dor technique. In majority patients, cardia was not mobilized, extended in length about 10 cm (8 on esophagus 2 stomach). There no operative mortality. Two (0.9%) required reoperation due bleeding from site one leakage gastrotomy other. One hundred ninety-three entered follow-up study were followed up 12 144 months...
In Brief Objectives: One- and 2-year evaluation of a feasibility trial (clinicaltrials.gov registration numbers NCT01057992, NCT01058070, 01058564) to assess the safety efficacy laparoscopically implanted sphincter augmentation device for treatment gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: A (LINX Reflux Management System; Torax Medical, Shoreview, MN), designed prevent due abnormal opening lower esophageal (LES), was at junction in 44 patients. At baseline, all patients had acid...
Seventy-seven patients with a primary complaint of persistent cough, wheezing, and/or recurrent pneumonia were evaluated for the presence occult gastroesophageal reflux disease. Fifty-four (70%) had increased esophageal acid exposure on 24-hour pH monitoring distal esophagus. In 28% these respiratory symptoms thought to be due aspiration because they occurred during or within 3 minutes after episode. other patients, either induced by unrelated episodes. The number reported was directly...
Abstract Background There is a rise in incidence of esophageal carcinoma due to increasing adenocarcinoma. Probably the only curative option date use neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection. Traditional open resection associated with high morbidity and mortality rate. Furthermore, this approach involves long intensive care unit stay, in-hospital stay recovery period. Minimally invasive esophagectomy could reduce accelerate post-operative recovery. Methods/Design Comparison between...
Surgical resection with adequate lymphadenectomy is regarded the only curative option for gastric cancer. Regarding minimally invasive techniques, mainly Asian studies showed comparable oncological and short-term postoperative outcomes. The incidence of cancer lower in Western population patients often present more advanced stages disease. Therefore, reproducibility these results remains to be investigated.A randomized trial was performed thirteen hospitals Europe. Patients an indication...
