The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy salivary pepsin with oropharyngeal pH monitoring using Restech measurement system (Dx-pH) for diagnosis laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR).Prospective cohort study.Seventy patients primary symptoms related LPR underwent gastroscopy, high-resolution manometry, throughout 24-hour (MII-pH), and barium esophagography between October 2015 May 2018. In addition, an ear, nose, throat examination performed, including assessment Belafsky Reflux...
The treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has steadily progressed over the past four decades, with recent focus shifting towards total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT). This survey aims to elucidate perceived surgical challenges faced by Austrian colorectal surgeons performing mesorectal excision (TME), focusing on increased complexity and difficulty introduced intensified regimens. A comprehensive was conducted among explore various aspects managing TME following TNT. included...
The assessment of hiatal hernias (HH) is typically done with barium swallow X‑ray, upper endoscopy, and by high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM). aim this study was to assess the clinical utility these methods in terms HH detection their correlation gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A retrospective comparative analysis patients symptoms GERD carried out. performance endoscopy HRM diagnosing assessed, taking X‑ray as a reference. Furthermore, statistically between detected presence...
This study was conducted to investigate the potential predictive value of tumor budding for neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy response in locally advanced rectal cancer.Surgical specimens 128 ypUICC (Union International Cancer Control) stage 0-III mid-to-low cancer patients were identified from a prospectively maintained colorectal database and classified into two groups using 10 high-power field average method: none/mild (BD-0) moderate/severe (BD-1). Overall survival, relapse-free survival...
The aim of the present trial is to investigate clinical efficiency GERDx device for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Prospective study evaluating Gastrointestinal Quality Life Index, symptoms scores, as well esophageal manometry and impedance-pH-monitoring data at baseline 3 months after endoscopic full-thickness plication device.In total, 28 underwent procedure so far. Mean Index DeMeester general reflux-specific scores improved (P<0.01). Three 6 patients, who were...
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a technique applying single fraction with high dose during surgery. We report the first abdomino-pelvic application of an image-guided intraoperative electron real time calculation based on individual patient anatomy. A suffering from locoregionally recurrent rectal cancer after treatment neoadjuvant re-chemoradiation was chosen for this approach. After surgical removal recurrence, adequate IORT applicator placed as usual. novel mobile imaging...
Sexual function is crucial for the quality of life and can be highly affected by preoperative therapy surgery. The aim this study was to identify potential risk factors poor sexual life.Female patients were asked complete Female Function Index (FSFI-6). Male demanded answer International Erectile (IIEF-5).In total, 79 filled in questionary, yielding a response rate 41.57%. proportion women represented 32.91%, median age 76.0 years (66.0-81.0). dysfunction appeared 88.46% female patients....
Introduction Diverticulitis is among the most common abdominal disorders. The best treatment strategy for this complicated disease as well recurrent stages still under debate. Moreover, little knowledge exists regarding effect of different therapeutic strategies on health-related quality life (HrQoL). Therefore, PREDIC-DIV (PREDICtors after elective sigmoidectomy DIVerticular disease) study aims to assess predictors a change in HrQoL patients diverticular disease. Methods and analysis A...
Abstract Background The body surface area (BSA) is taken as a measure for the effective contact dosing in hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Currently, pharmacokinetic effect of reduced peritoneal (PSA) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) during HIPEC remains unclear. Here proprietary software solution (PEritoneal SUrface CAlculator (PESUCA)) to quantify resected PSA patients with malignancies (PSM) undergoing CRS and presented. Methods PESUCA tool was programmed desktop online...
Summary Background Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare highly aggressive peritoneal disease (sarcoma) with mortality rates up to 70% in the first 3 years after diagnosis. It mainly affects young men. Patients clinically complain about diffuse abdominal pain. Methods This case report describes clinical course of 69-year-old man who presented recurrent Physical examination, laboratory testing, imaging, and gastroscopy were performed. Intra-abdominal biopsies taken during diagnostic...
(1) Background: Peritoneal metastasized colorectal cancer is associated with a worse prognosis. The combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) showed promising results in selected patients, but standardization lacking so far. We present the first tool enabling standardized peritoneal surface area (PSA) quantification patients undergoing CRS HIPEC: SAlzburg PEritoneal SUrface CAlculator (SAPESUCA). (2) Methods: SAPESUCA was programmed...
An internal hernia is defined as a protrusion from intestines or other abdominal organs through congenital acquired aperture within the peritoneal cavity. Internal are rare, with an incidence of less than 1%. Mostly, they located paraduodenal (Treitz hernia) and show mortality rates up to 50%. We describe case 26-year-old man presenting acute bowel obstruction history surgical treatment for diaphragmatic hernia. Clinical examination computed tomography (CT) scan were interpreted intestinal...
Right-sided Bochdalek hernia is a mostly congenital condition of the diaphragm caused by persistence pleuroperitoneal cavity and rare disease in adults. As it often presents as an emergent situation, urgent diagnostics surgical intervention are essential to reduce morbidity mortality rates. Choosing right approach (abdominal, thoracic, or combination both) can be very challenging for clinicians. Here, we report case 40-year-old woman, who presented with severe abdominal pain tachypnoea....
