To compare perioperative outcomes of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) performed through the laparoscopic route or by open surgery.Laparoscopic PD is being progressively in selected patients.An open-label single-center RCT was conducted between February 2013 and September 2017. The primary endpoint length hospital stay (LOS). Secondary endpoints were operative time, transfusion requirements, specific pancreatic complications (pancreatic biliary fistula, hemorrhage, delayed gastric emptying),...
Abstract Microwave (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are main ablative techniques for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) colorectal liver metastasis (MT). This randomized phase 2 clinical trial compares the effectiveness of MWA RFA as well morphology corresponding zones. HCC MT patients with 1.5–4 cm tumors, suitable ablation, were into or Groups. The primary endpoint was short-to-long diameter ratio zone (SLR). Primary technical success (TS) a cumulative local tumor progression (LTP)...
Robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy (RDP) is increasingly used as an alternative to laparoscopic (LDP) in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer but comparative multicenter studies confirming the safety and efficacy of RDP are lacking.An international, multicenter, retrospective, cohort study, including consecutive undergoing LDP for 33 experienced centers from 11 countries (2010-2019). The primary outcome was R0-resection. Secondary outcomes included lymph node yield, major...
To elucidate if a nonpositive <1-cm resection margin has any effect on hepatic recurrence in patients undergoing liver for colorectal metastases.Six hundred and nine underwent 663 resections. Patients with positive were excluded from the analysis. Two groups studied: group A, B, > or =1-cm margin.A total of 545 resections 523 carried out margins. With median follow-up 25 months, 5-year cumulative reached 54% A (n = 206) 41% B 339). Factors associated synchronic metastases (P 0.0015), bilobar...
Objective: The aim of this study was to establish clinically relevant outcome benchmark values using criteria for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with portomesenteric venous resection (PVR) from a low-risk cohort managed in high-volume centers. Summary Background Data: PD PVR is regarded as the standard care patients cancer involvement axis. There are, however, no indicators population which hampers comparisons undergoing and without resection. Methods: This multicenter analyzed any type 23...
To develop computer models to mimic the impedance-controlled pulsing protocol implemented in radiofrequency (RF) generators used for clinical practice of ablation (RFA), and assess appropriateness by comparing results with those obtained previous experimental studies.A 12-min RFA was modelled using a cooled electrode (17G, 3 cm tip) inserted hepatic tissue. The short (transverse) diameter coagulation zone assessed under vivo (with blood perfusion (BP) considering clamping) ex (at 21 °C)...
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) has gained attention as a new non-thermal therapy for ablation with important benefits in terms of homogeneous treatment and fast recovery. In this study, concept high voltage generator is used, enabling irreversible large tissue volume using parallel plates. Unlike currently available generators, the proposed versatile structure enables delivering high-voltage high-current pulses. To obtain results, 3-cm parallel-plates electrodes have also been designed...
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) critically influenced microscopically complete resection (R0) rates and long-term outcomes for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) portomesenteric vein (PVR) from a diverse, world-wide group high-volume centers. Summary Background Data: Limited size studies suggest that NAT improves R0 overall survival compared upfront surgery in R/BR-PDAC patients. Methods:...
Abstract Background Benchmarking is the process to used assess best achievable results and compare outcomes with that standard. This study aimed in minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy splenectomy (MIDPS). Methods retrospective included consecutive patients undergoing MIDPS for any indication, between 2003 2019, 31 European centres. Benchmarks of main clinical were calculated according Achievable Benchmark Care (ABC™) method. After identifying independent risk factors severe morbidity...
To assess the association between neoadjuvant therapy and overall survival (OS) in patients with left-sided resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC) compared to upfront surgery. Left-sided is associated worse OS right-sided cancer. Although currently seen as not effective RPC, current randomized trials included mostly RPC. International multicenter retrospective study including consecutive after resection for pathology-proven either or surgery 76 centers from 18 countries on 4 continents...
Background: Liver function and the presence of portal hypertension, as well urgency type surgery, are prognostic factors in advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) patients undergoing extrahepatic major surgeries. Emergent surgery ACLD has 4–10 times higher mortality rates than elective surgery. However, perioperative management improvements have been made recent years. Methods: This is a retrospective, observational, unicentric study 482 with who underwent from 2010 to 2019. We compared...
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether a bipolar saline-enhanced radiofrequency (RF) ablation system embedded in one needle is able to consistently produce homogeneous and predictable areas of coagulation necrosis with or without the Pringle maneuver vascular inflow occlusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: RF (480 kHz) liver was performed 24 healthy pigs by means laparotomy: group A (n = 5), 4-cm distance between electrodes 1 2; B 7), maneuver; C 2-cm distance; D maneuver. Twenty percent NaCl solution...
Purpose To compare the safety and efficacy of US-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a local treatment for breast cancer with that lumpectomy. Materials Methods A prospective, randomized open-label phase II clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov identification number NCT02281812) was conducted in single institution from 2013 to 2017. Women invasive ductal carcinoma measuring 2 cm or smaller were randomly assigned receive RFA lumpectomy alone (control group). Margin status at...
Abstract Background Benchmarking is an important tool for quality comparison and improvement. However, no benchmark values are available minimally invasive spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, either laparoscopically or robotically assisted. The aim of this study was to establish benchmarks these techniques using two different methods. Methods Data from patients undergoing assisted pancreatectomy were extracted a multicentre database (2006–2019). Benchmarks 10 outcomes calculated the...
Abstract Background Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is a challenging technique to be performed by minimally invasive approach being the type III among most complex procedure. Nowadays, robotic gaining increasing interest surgical community, and more series describing liver resection have been reported. However, few cases of Bismuth IIIA Robotic allows for better dissection suture thanks flexible precise instruments movements, overcoming some limitations laparoscopic technique. Therefore, can...
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) occasionally spreads to the pancreas. The purpose of our study is evaluate short and long-term results a multicenter series in order determine effect surgical treatment on prognosis these patients.Multicenter retrospective patients undergoing surgery for RCC pancreatic metastases, from January 2010 May 2020. Variables related primary tumor, demographics, clinical characteristics metastasis, location pancreas, type resection performed data evolution after were...
