Effect of preoperative intraperitoneal injection of Sapylin in advanced gastric cancer. (2/105)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sapylin is one of the biological response modifiers. It has been used in the comprehensive treatment for advanced cancer, and its clinical efficacy has been proved. This study was to evaluate the effect of preoperative intraperitoneal injection of Sapylin in treatment of advanced gastric cancer. METHODS: Seventy-nine patients eligible for radical gastrectomy were randomly divided into the treatment group (Sapylin + mitomycin C, 40 patients) and the control group (mitomycin C alone, 39 patients). In the treatment group, 5 KE Sapylin was injected intraperitoneally 48 h before operation and 4 mg of mitomycin C was injected into peritoneal cavity before the closure of the peritoneum. In the control group, only 4 mg mitomycin C was injected into peritoneal cavity before the closure of the peritonium. RESULTS: There was no operative mortality or duodenal stump leakage in the two groups. Postoperative complications were anastomotic leakage (2.5%, 1/40) and incision rupture (2.5%, 1/40) in the treatment group, and incision rupture (2.6%, 1/39) in the control group, with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The 3-year survival rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (76.5% vs. 49.4%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative intraperitoneal injection of Sapylin can raise the 3-year survival rate after radical gastrectomy , without increasing the incidence rate of operative complications. Preoperative intraperitoneal injection of Sapylin is therefore a valuable therapy for advanced gastric cancer in clinic.  (+info)

Recurrent abscess after primary successful endo-sponge treatment of anastomotic leakage following rectal surgery. (5/105)

AIM: To assess long-term efficacy of initially successful endo-sponge assisted therapy. METHODS: Between 2006 and 2009, consecutive patients who had undergone primary successful endo-sponge treatment of anastomotic leakage following rectal cancer surgery were enrolled in the study. Patients were recruited from 6 surgical departments in Vienna. Clinical and oncologic outcomes were assessed through routine endoscopic and radiologic follow-up examination. RESULTS: Twenty patients (7 female, 13 male) were included. The indications for endo-sponge treatment were anastomotic leakage (n = 17) and insufficiency of a rectal stump after Hartmann's procedure (n = 3). All patients were primarily operated for rectal cancer. The overall mortality rate was 25%. The median follow-up duration was 17 mo (range 1.5-29.8 mo). Five patients (25%) developed a recurrent abscess. Median time between last day of endo-sponge therapy and occurrence of recurrent abscess was 255 d (range 21-733 d). One of these patients was treated by computed tomography-guided drainage and in 3 patients Hartmann's procedure had to be performed. Two patients (10%) developed a local tumor recurrence and subsequently died. CONCLUSION: Despite successful primary outcome, patients who receive endo-sponge therapy should be closely monitored in the first 2 years, since recurrence might occur.  (+info)

Laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal carcinoma: complications and management in 132 consecutive patients. (6/105)

AIM: To analyze the clinical manifestations and risk factors of complications in laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer patients. METHODS: A series of 132 consecutive patients who received laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer in our center were included. The etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of rectal cancer were studied among the patients with surgery-related complications using both univariate and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS: No conversion to open surgery was observed and 5 cases converted to hand-assisted laparoscopic operation. The overall morbidity rate was 20.5%. Complications occurred during the operation in 7 patients (5.3%), within 30 postoperative days in 24 patients (18.2%), and within 3 mo in 2 patients (1.5%). The most significant complications were anastomotic leakage (9.1%) and anastomotic hemorrhage (5.3%). Size and location of tumor, pathological staging and preoperative nutrition were significant factors associated with LAR complications, while gender, age and pathological type showed no relevance. Binary logistics regression showed that the size and location of tumor, and pathological staging were independent factors of laparoscopic LAR. All the complications were treated during their onset of clinical manifestations by interventional or conservative therapy. CONCLUSION: Anastomotic leakage is a major complication in laparoscopic LAR. The complications may be associated with tumor size and site, and pathological stage. Interventional therapies are of value in the management of laparoscopic LAR complications.  (+info)

AU - Ryu, Ho Sang. PY - 2013/4. Y1 - 2013/4. N2 - Anastomotic leakage, although uncommon, is a life-threatening complication and requires prompt recognition and treatment. Surgical closure has been recommended for defects that are large and symptomatic. However, recent reports on successful endoscopic closure of anastomotic leakage suggest that endoscopic techniques may be a feasible alternative to surgical approaches in patients with comorbid conditions that are not suitable for undergoing second operation or for those who refuse to be reoperated. Herein, we describe a case of postoperative gastrojejunal anastomotic leakage that was successfully treated with endoscopic closure using endoclips and detachable snares..

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate patients with symptomatic anastomotic leakage diagnosed after hospital discharge. Methods: Patients undergoing low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer (n=234) who were included in a prospective multicenter trial (NCT 00636948) and who developed symptomatic anastomotic leakage diagnosed after hospital discharge (late leakage, LL; n=18) were identified. These patients were assessed in regard to patient characteristics, operative details, recovery on postoperative day five, length of hospital stay, and how the leakage was diagnosed. A comparison with those who did not develop symptomatic leakage (no leakage, NL; n=189) was performed. Minimum follow up was 24 months. Results: Median age was 69 years, 61% were females, and 6% had UICC cancer stage IV in LL. On postoperative day 5, LL had a postoperative course similar to NL in regard to morning temperature, per oral intake and bowel activity. The proportion of patients being on antibiotic ...

PURPOSE: Colon anastomotic leakage remains a serious and common surgical complication. Animal models are valuable to determine the pathophysiological mechanisms and to evaluate possible methods of prevention. The aim of this study was to develop an optimal model of clinical colon anastomotic leakage in a technically insufficient anastomosis in the mouse. METHODS: A total of 110 mice were used in three pilot studies (1-3) and two experiments (A, B). Due to the high complication rates, the analgesic regimen and surgical techniques were changed throughout the pilot studies/experiments. In the final successful experiment (B), eight and four absorbable sutures were used in the control and intervention anastomoses, respectively, and buprenorphine in chocolate spread was used for pain treatment. RESULTS: In the final model (experiment B), significantly more animals in the intervention group had clinical anastomotic leakage compared with controls (40 vs. 0 %, p = 0.003). The weight loss was greater and ...

Division of Minimally Invasive Colon and Rectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Houston, Texas. Objective/Technique: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic (RALS) low anterior resection (LAR) with total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer has garnered increasing enthusiasm as a result of favorable preliminary results. The technique affords superior visualization, access, and manipulation of tissues in the deep, confined pelvis while maintaining the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. However, a major limitation involves low division of the rectum and mesorectum using the currently available endoscopic stapling devices.. Methods: To overcome this limitation, we perform RALS ultra-LAR with TME and hand-sewn colo-anal anastomosis for the treatment of rectal cancer. Our technique utilizes division and extraction of the rectum through a transperineal ...

Endoscopic-vacuum Assisted Closure of Intrathoracic Postsurgical Leaks - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govEndoscopic-vacuum Assisted Closure of Intrathoracic Postsurgical Leaks - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Intrathoracic leakage is a serious complication after esophageal surgery. The reported incidence of esophageal anastomotic leaks after gastrectomy and esophagectomy ranges from 5% to almost 30%. Within the last 10 years endoscopic treatment has changed the approach to intrathoracic anastomotic leakages. Application of metal clips, injection of fibrin glue and placement of self expanding metal or plastic stents (SEMS/SEPS) have been reported to successfully achieve closure of postoperative anastomotic leaks in approximately 66-100%. Alternative endoscopically treatment modalities are welcome especially in cases of failure of the above mentioned endoscopic treatment modalities to prevent the necessity of surgical reintervention which is associated with high mortality or mutilating surgical outcome such as proximal diversion with cervical esophagostomy.. Vacuum-assisted closure (V.A.C.) is an established treatment modality for extensive cutaneous infected wounds. The V.A.C. system device is based ...
Desorption, diffusion, permeation and leaksDesorption, diffusion, permeation and leaks
If a vessel is continuously pumped out at a volume flow rate $S$, an equilibrium pressure $p_\mathrm{eq}$ will be produced if the throughput (Formula 1-16) is equal to the leakage rate $Q_L = S\cdot p_\mathrm{eq}$. A system is considered to be adequately tight if the equilibrium pressure $p_\mathrm{eq}$ is approximately 10 % of the working pressure. If, for example, a working pressure of 10-6 hPa is to be attained and the vacuum pump that is being used has a pumping speed of 100 l s-1, the leakage rate should not be more than s 10-6 Pa m3 s-1. Leakage rates $Q_L$ , 10-9 Pa m3 s-1 can usually be easily attained in clean stainless steel vessels. The ultimate pressure achievable after a given period of time $t$ primarily depends upon all of the effects described above and upon the pumping speed of the vacuum pump. The prerequisite is naturally that the ultimate pressure will be high relative to the base pressure of the vacuum pump.. ...

Y1 - 1981/5. N2 - Antethoracic jejunal esophageal reconstruction is an effective alternative method of repair and should be considered when difficulty is expected with the standard approaches. The primary difficulty with this mode of repair is related to the vascular supply of the jejunum. However, with careful evaluation and management of the pedicle, ischemia of the graft may be avoided. If vascularity appears less than optimal, the proximal anastomoses should be delayed and the graft placed in the subfascial tunnel. If the cervical jejunal portion becomes necrotic, this space may be bridged later with an isoperistaltically positioned free graft utilizing microvascular techniques..

The build features Kingspan TEK Building System panels in both 142mm and 172mm widths. 142mm Kingspan TEK Building System panels were used to form the walls, with an additional external layer of 100 mm Kingspan Kooltherm K12 Framing Board to ensure a thermal-bridge free construction and to achieve a U-value of just 0.10 W/m²∙K. The roof was constructed with 172mm Kingspan TEK Building System panels as the increased thickness allows the panel to span further without additional support. Not only did the thicker panels help to preserve the open modern aesthetic of the show home, installing them in a large format also simplified the build and reduced the time spent working at height.. In addition to its high thermal performance and construction benefits, the Kingspan TEK Building System was also specified to help the building achieve low air leakage rates.

Serum Procalcitonin Predicts Anastomotic Leaks in Colorectal Surgery | Physicians Weekly for Medical News, Journals & ArticlesSerum Procalcitonin Predicts Anastomotic Leaks in Colorectal Surgery | Physician's Weekly for Medical News, Journals & Articles
Background: Anastomotic leaks in colorectal surgery results in a high morbidity and mortality rate. Serum procalcitonin levels is known as a sensitive and specific marker of sepsis and could be use as a marker for early detection of a leak allowing early intervention. It may help a clinician decide to perform a CT scan even earlier especially when the diagnosis of a leak is uncertain. The aim of this study is to determine whether serum procalcitonin is a good predictor of anastomotic leak in colorectal surgery. Methodology: Between July 2014 until October 2015, 70 patients undergoing colorectal surgery were prospectively analyzed in a single-center tertiary teaching hospital. Demographic and surgical data were obtained. Serum procalcitonin was taken before surgery and at day 3 (72 hours) postoperatively. During the postoperative period, the patients were observed in the ward for features of anastomotic leak and if present, it was managed accordingly. The primary outcome was to prospectively ...
Anterior resection of the rectum for rectal cancer-options, limits, immediate complicationsAnterior resection of the rectum for rectal cancer-options, limits, immediate complications
Autori: Scripcariu V, Lungu M, Dragomir R, Lefter L, Radu I, Dragomir C.. Editorial: Chirurgia (Bucur). 2004 Sep-Oct;99(5):305-10, 2004.. Rezumat:. A number of factors have recently led to a more conservative approach for middle or low rectal cancers, making possible sphincter preservation and reducing the number of abdomino perineal excisions of the rectum. We have performed a retrospective analysis on 510 patients operated on in our unit between 1994 and 2003 for rectal cancer. There were a number of 118 anterior resection of rectum; in 20 cases the TME has been performed and in 6 cases a very low anterior resection of rectum was done. The overall operative morbidity rate was 16.10% in direct relation with the distal limit of resection. We note urinary dysfunctions, anastomotic leakage, recto-vaginal fistulas as immediate postoperative complications. With the practice of total mesorectal excision, the use of abdomino perineal excision of the rectum is decreasing. The use of preoperative ...

SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Patent applicationSEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Patent application
0129] In the sputtering apparatus used for depositing the oxide semiconductor film 403, the leakage rate of a deposition treatment chamber is set to less than or equal to 1×10-10 Pam3/s. Owing to the low leakage rate of the deposition treatment chamber, the amount of impurities entering the film to be formed by a sputtering method can be reduced. To decrease the leakage rate of the deposition treatment chamber, internal leakage as well as external leakage needs to be reduced. The external leakage refers to inflow of gas from the outside of a vacuum system through a minute hole, a sealing defect, or the like. The internal leakage is due to leakage through a partition, such as a valve, in a vacuum system or due to released gas from an internal member. An open/close portion of the deposition treatment chamber of the sputtering apparatus used for deposition of the oxide semiconductor film 403 is sealed with a metal gasket. For the metal gasket, a metal material covered with iron fluoride, aluminum ...

Background. Gastric conduit ischemia during esophagectomy. likely contributes to high anastomotic complication. rates, yet we lack a reliable method to assess gastric. conduit perfusion. We hypothesize that optical fiber spectroscopy. (OFS) can reliably assess conduit perfusion and. that the degree of intraoperative gastric ischemia is associated. with subsequent anastomotic complications.. Methods. During esophagectomy, OFS was used to. measure oxygen saturation (SaO2) and blood volume. fraction (BVF) in the distal gastric conduit at baseline. and after gastric devascularization, conduit formation,. and transposition. The SaO2 and BVF readings were. correlated to clinical outcomes.. Results. The OFS measurements were obtained in 23. patients during esophagectomy, four of whom previously. underwent gastric ischemic conditioning. Eight. patients developed anastomotic complications. Compared. with baseline, conduit creation produced a 29.4%. reduction in SaO2 (p , 0.01), while BVF increased by ...

Anvil Firing: Awesome Or Reckless? | HackadayAnvil Firing: Awesome Or Reckless? | Hackaday
Its probably traditional to fire anvils in place of cannons on festive occasions. The modern, competitive version of the pastime is relatively new, and is scored both on how high the anvil flies, and on how close to the launching pad the anvil lands when it hits the ground. It looks like you make everything very level, pack the powder as evenly as possible, and hope for the best.. Now before you go about doing something silly like this, you should know that it can also go wrong (YouTube, naturally) in any number of ways. Smashing black powder between anvils is asking for early detonation. And even if youre relatively experienced with such things you can still get hurt, as happened during the 2011 US National Anvil Shooting competition. Apparently the man in question lost a thumb to the hobby. Finally, unless youre taking heroic precautions like X-raying your anvil, you cant be sure that the anvil wont break apart.. So were not recommending that you try this at all. Instead, stare on in awe ...

An anvil member for use in a surgical stapler is annealed by localized heating, preferably induction heating. A shaped shielding means is used to cradle the anvil so as to expose the staple crimping portion of the anvil. The heating is performed so as to anneal only the delimited staple crimping portion of the anvil. All other portions of the anvil are either shielded by the cradle or are out of the heating range.

Abscess2
  • However, a contained anastomotic leak may present much later with only radiological evidence of a peri-anastomotic abscess cavity on subsequent contrast imaging with minimal or no clinical symptoms [ 11 ]. (omicsonline.org)
  • For the past decade, we have developed a range of novel endoscopic techniques to manage strictures, fistula, anastomotic leak and abscess, including endoscopic stricturotomy, endoscopic sinusotomy, endoscopic septectomy, endoscopic fistulotomy, endoscopic incision and drainage, endoscopy-guide seton and drainage catheter placement.

Sepsis5
  • Although bleeding from the anastomotic site is well documented and various managements have been outlined delayed bleeding from the presacral vein due to pelvic sepsis after total mesorectal excision has not been reported. (sages.org)
  • Nonoperative management is acceptable only in patients who have experienced a contained leak with minimal symptoms and no sign of systemic sepsis. (springer.com)
  • Anastomotic leak may be clinically evident in the early postoperative period with the typical findings resulting from progressive pelvic sepsis. (omicsonline.org)
  • Serum procalcitonin levels is known as a sensitive and specific marker of sepsis and could be use as a marker for early detection of a leak allowing early intervention. (physiciansweekly.com)
  • Although endoluminal stents may not lead to resolution of a chronic leak or stricture, SEMS may suppress ongoing sepsis and allow patients to undergo nutritional resuscitation orally before operative correction. (elsevier.com)

  • We demonstrate that the commensal bacterium Enterococcus faecalis contributes to the pathogenesis of anastomotic leak through its capacity to degrade collagen and to activate tissue matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in host intestinal tissues. (sciencemag.org)
  • Either elimination of E. faecalis strains through direct topical antibiotics applied to rat intestinal tissues or pharmacological suppression of intestinal MMP9 activation prevented anastomotic leak in rats. (sciencemag.org)
  • We suggest that intestinal microbes with the capacity to produce collagenases and to activate host metalloproteinase MMP9 may break down collagen in the intestinal tissue contributing to anastomotic leak. (igsb.org)

  • The endoscopic application of several tissue adhesives, such as Human Fibrin Glue can seal the anastomotic leak site. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The aim of our study is to present the case of an esophagojejunal anastomotic leak that was treated successfully with the topical endoscopic application of n -butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. (biomedcentral.com)
  • therefore, the decision was made to apply endoscopic n -butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl) on the anastomotic leak site. (biomedcentral.com)
