Abstract Background As the population ages, more older adults are presenting for surgery. Age-related declines in physiological reserve and functional capacity can result frailty poor outcomes after Hence, optimizing perioperative care patients is imperative. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways Minimally Invasive (MIS) may influence surgical outcomes, but current use impact on unknown. The aim of this study was to provide evidence-based recommendations undergoing major abdominal...
To assess whether reoperative surgery for failed Nissen fundoplication is beneficial and to classify all mechanisms of failure recognized.Antireflux often necessary, but a 10% rate commonplace. We report results patients undergoing present nomenclature failure.A total 104 patients, who had previous gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), underwent surgery. Manometry (n = 86), endoscopy 101), pH monitoring 27), upright esophagram 90), gastric emptying 26), symptom assessment 104) were...
To review treatment toxicity for patients with pancreatic and ampullary cancer treated proton therapy at our institution.From March 2009 through April 2012, 22 were concomitant capecitabine (1000 mg PO twice daily) resected (n = 5); marginally resectable unresectable/inoperable 12) biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma. Two unresectable disease excluded from the analysis reasons unrelated to treatment. Proton doses ranged 50.40 cobalt gray equivalent (CGE) 59.40 CGE.Median follow-up all was 11 (range...
Abstract Purpose: To review early outcomes for patients enrolled on our institution's protocol (PC01) with unresectable pancreatic cancer, and to test whether the serious adverse event rate could be reduced from 15% (expected) <5%. Patients Methods: Twelve were enrolled, but only 11 are reported in this analysis. Pathology all was reviewed at University of Florida Health Medical Center Jacksonville confirm diagnosis adenocarcinoma. Unresectability defined by radiographic evidence encasement...
Postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is generally less than open cholecystectomy; however, the postoperative shoulder and abdominal experienced by patients still causes preventable distress. Intraperitoneal irrigation of diaphragmatic surface gallbladder fossa using normal saline, bupivacaine, or lignocaine may effectively control visceral an LC. Two hundred with similar demographics undergoing elective LC were randomized to one four groups 50 each, including Group A...
Background: In laparoscopic-assisted colon surgery, an abdominal incision is needed to remove the specimen and perform anastomosis. We adopted technique of totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy transvaginal extraction in women who required resection. Methods: Over a 2-year period, 14 were scheduled for with intracorporeal anastomosis removal. The indications surgery included malignant (n=9) benign (n=5) right-side pathology. Results: procedure was accomplished laparoscopically all...
This study used a multi-center database to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on 30-day morbidity and mortality following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.The NSQIP was queried 2005-2012 patients, who had cancer. Patients were divided into two groups: only.The group lower rates sepsis (8% vs. 13%, unadjusted P = 0.004) acute renal failure (0.4% 2%, 0.01), higher rate pulmonary embolism (PE) (3% 1%, 0.04). The adjusted odds PE received 2.8 times patients in group, controlling BMI....
