Abstract Background It is still unclear whether D2 lymphadenectomy improves the survival of patients with gastric cancer and should therefore be performed routinely or selectively. The aim this multicentre randomized trial was to compare D1 in treatment cancer. Methods Between June 1998 December 2006, adenocarcinoma were assigned randomly either gastrectomy. Intraoperative randomization implemented centrally by telephone. Primary outcome overall survival; secondary endpoints disease-specific...
In Brief Objective: To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in morbidly obese patients. Background: Symptomatic GERD is considered by many a contraindication to LSG. However, studies evaluating relationship between LSG and 24-hour pH monitoring are lacking. Methods: Consecutive patients selected for were included prospective clinical study. Gastroesophageal function was evaluated using validated questionnaire, upper endoscopy,...
In Brief Objectives: To compare in a prospective, randomized trial the long-term results of laparoscopic Heller myotomy plus Dor fundoplication versus floppy-Nissen for achalasia. Summary Background Data: Anterior is usually performed after to control GER; however, incidence postoperative GER ranges between 10% and 30%. Total may aid reducing rates. Methods: From December 1993 September 2002, 153 patients with achalasia underwent antireflux fundoplication. Of these, 9 were excluded from...
Abstract Background Several studies have shown the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted antireflux surgery but comparative data are lacking. Methods Fifty consecutive patients scheduled for laparoscopic were randomized into two groups. Twenty-five underwent 25 standard fundoplication. All procedures performed with da Vinci Surgical System®. Results There no significant differences in age, sex, body mass or preoperative reflux pattern between Operating times significantly longer than...
Abstract Background Of the few studies that have investigated quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes after transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM), majority reported only short-term follow-up data. This study assessed long-term clinical and instrumental (QoL, sexual, urinary sphincter function) TEM for extraperitoneal rectal cancer. Methods Preoperative postoperative anorectal function was in consecutive patients with benign lesions or early cancer, based on scores manometry. Results Between January...
To evaluate the long-term effects of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) on gastroesophageal function.LRYGB is considered weight loss procedure choice for obese patients with reflux disease (GERD). However, instrumental evaluations GERD after LRYGB are not available.Morbidly selected were included in a prospective study. We performed clinical evaluation GERD-HRQoL questionnaire, upper endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and 24-hour impedance pH (24-hour MII-pH) monitoring...
A hiatal hernia (HH) is a frequent finding in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We examined consecutive series of GERD diagnosed by 24-hour pH monitoring. Based on the presence and size HH barium swallow, were divided into following groups: no HH, <3 cm, 3–5 cm >5 cm. total 175 included: 43 86 34 12 Patients larger had more episodes coughing wheezing associated reflux. High-resolution manometry showed that increasing was decreasing pressure lower esophageal...
Laparoscopic repair is the preferred surgical treatment for symptomatic Large Hiatal Hernia (LHH). However, data on long-term outcomes are limited. This study aims to evaluate 20-year follow-up results of laparoscopic LHH in a high-volume experienced tertiary center. Retrospective analysis patients who underwent elective between 1992 and 2008. Preoperative perioperative were collected. The primary endpoint was reoperation rate. Survival analyses calculated according Kaplan-Meier method...
Abstract The rapid spread of the robotic surgical system has not been accompanied by an equally creation standardized training courses for use this technology. purpose our study was to evaluate skill acquisition in handling and daVinci Xi comparing two groups residents. Surgical residents from University Turin were enrolled. participants divided into groups: Group A: who had participated at least 8 procedures, B: never attended surgery. All administered instructional videos on patient cart...
Abstract To compare the results of Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy performed with a Fully Robot-Assisted technique (F-RAMIE) and Hybrid approach laparoscopic abdominal phase (H-RAMIE). Multicentric retrospective analysis patients who underwent F-RAMIE H-RAMIE between 2018 2023. The primary endpoint was rate postoperative complications, secondary endpoints were clinical outcomes, oncological costs. Survival analyses calculated according to Kaplan–Meier method. economic evaluation included...
Summary Background Argon plasma coagulation seems to be a promising technique for ablation of Barrett’s oesophagus, yet few long‐term efficacy data are available. Aim To report on follow‐up and the factors that determine recurrence intestinal metaplasia in cohort patients with non dysplastic, type after complete metaplastic mucosa argon coagulation. Methods Ninety‐six underwent endoscopic adequate acid suppression obtained through continuous omeprazole therapy (50 patients) or laparoscopic...
Abstract Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) outbreak has significantly burdened healthcare systems worldwide, leading to reorganization of services and reallocation resources. The Italian Society for Study Esophageal Diseases (SISME) conducted a national survey evaluate changes in esophageal cancer management region severely struck by COVID-19 pandemic. A web-based questionnaire (26 items) was sent 12 SISME units. Short-term outcomes resections performed during the lockdown were compared with...
