PURPOSE: There is a growing amount of data suggesting that carcinomas the right and left colon should be considered as different tumor entities. Using analysis compiled in German multicentered study “Colon/Rectum Cancer,” we aimed to clarify whether existing differences influence clinical histological parameters, perioperative course, survival patients with right- vs left-sided cancer. METHODS: During 3-year period on all cancer were evaluated. Right- cancers compared regarding following...
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an upcoming procedure in bariatric surgery and currently performed worldwide. Staple line leakage, as the most frequent feared complication, still a major concern.Since 2005 data from patients undergoing procedures Germany have been prospectively registered online database analyzed. All who had undergone primary SG within 7-year period were considered for analysis.Using German Bariatric Surgery Registry, more than 11,800 SGs collected between January...
Chemoresistance is a main obstacle to effective esophageal cancer (EC) therapy. We hypothesize that altered expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) play role in EC progression and resistance 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) based chemotherapeutic strategies.Four pairs adenocarcinoma (EAC) cell lines corresponding 5-FU resistant variants were established. The levels miRNAs previously shown be involved the general regulation stem pathways analyzed by qRT-PCR. effects selected on proliferation, apoptosis,...
Objective: This international multicenter study by the Upper GI International Robotic Association aimed to gain insight in current techniques and outcomes of RAMIE worldwide. Background: Current evidence for originates from single-center studies, which may not be generalizable experience. Methods: Twenty centers Europe, Asia, North-America, South-America participated 2016 2019. Main endpoints included surgical techniques, clinical outcomes, early oncological results ramie. Results: A total...
There is considerable controversy regarding optimal management of patients with paraesophageal hiatus hernia (pHH). This survey aims at identifying recommended strategies for work-up, surgical therapy, and postoperative follow-up using Delphi methodology.We conducted a 2-round, 33-question, web-based on perioperative (preoperative procedure follow-up) non-revisional, elective pHH among European surgeons expertise in upper-GI. Responses were graded 5-point Likert scale analyzed descriptive...
Abstract Background Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is increasingly adopted in centers worldwide, with ongoing refinements to enhance results. This study aims assess the current state of RAMIE worldwide and identify potential areas for improvement. Methods descriptive analyzed prospective data from esophageal cancer patients who underwent transthoracic Upper GI International Robotic Association (UGIRA) centers. Main endpoints included textbook outcome rate, surgical...
Abstract Background Currently, little is known regarding the optimal technique for abdominal phase of RAMIE. The aim this study was to investigate outcome robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in both and thoracic (full RAMIE) compared laparoscopy during (hybrid laparoscopic RAMIE). Methods This retrospective propensity-score matched analysis International Upper Gastrointestinal Robotic Association (UGIRA) database included 807 RAMIE procedures with intrathoracic...
