[PMID: 39179581 PMCID: PMC11343770 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-68806-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The influence of pulmonary dysfunction on postoperative outcomes in older patients with gastric cancer was assessed. In this retrospective study, 352 older patients (age ≥ 75 years) with gastric cancer who underwent preoperative spirometry and curative gastrectomy were enrolled. Of these patients, 200 underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy. Restrictive and obstructive pulmonary dysfunction were defined as percentage of vital capacity (%VC) < 80% and percent of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1.0%) < 70%, respectively. Twenty-six (7.3%) and 123 (34.9%) exhibited restrictive and obstructive pulmonary dysfunction, respectively. The low-%VC group showed a higher incidence of postoperative pneumonia (p = 0.018) while the low-FEV1.0% group did not (p = 0.677). Multivariate analysis identified a decreased %VC as a significant risk factor for postoperative pneumonia. However, this association was not observed in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy. Concerning the long-term outcomes, restrictive dysfunction was a significant prognostic factor in older patients with gastric cancer who underwent either laparotomy or laparoscopy, whereas obstructive dysfunction did not. Restrictive pulmonary dysfunction increased the risk of postoperative pneumonia and had a negative prognostic effect in older patients with gastric cancer, whereas obstructive pulmonary dysfunction did not.

Front Oncol 2024; 14:1416888. [PMID: 39234398 PMCID: PMC11371684 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1416888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Patients with renal insufficiency are more prone to postoperative complications (PCs). Studies have shown that minor changes in serum creatinine (SCr), immediately post-surgery, can aid in assessing patients' renal function. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the changes in SCr and PCs in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Materials and methods We prospectively collected data regarding the SCr of 530 GC patients, within 2 weeks before surgery and within 24 hours after surgery in our hospital (2014-2016). The patients were divided into three groups according to the level of SCr change after surgery: reduced (<10%), normal (10%), and elevated (>10%) creatinine groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were performed to evaluate its correlation with short-term PCs in the patients. The R language was used to construct a nomogram. Results 83, 217, and 230 patients were assigned to the elevated, reduced, and normal SCr groups, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the reduced and elevated SCr groups were independently associated with the occurrence of PCs and severe postoperative complications (SPCs), respectively. Additionally, postsurgical SCr change, age, hypoalbuminemia, total gastrectomy, combined resection, and laparoscopy, were independently related to PCs. Combining the above influential factors, the predictive model can distinguish patients with PCs more reliably (c-index is 0.715). Conclusion Post-surgery, reduced SCr is a protective factor for PCs, while elevated serum creatinine is an independent risk factor for SPCs. Our nomogram can identify GC patients with high risks of PCs.

Short- and Long-Term Advantages of Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Elderly Patients with Locally Advanced Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2477. [PMID: 39001540 PMCID: PMC11240721 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16132477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery has provided several clinical advantages in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) care, although a consensus on its application criteria remains unclear. Surgery remains a careful choice in elderly patients, who frequently present with frailty, comorbidities, and other disabling diseases. This study aims to assess the possible advantages of laparoscopic gastric resections in elderly patients presenting with LAGC. This retrospective study analyzed a single-center series of elderly patients (≥75 years) undergoing curative resections for LAGC between 2015 and 2020. A comparative analysis of open versus laparoscopic approaches was conducted, focusing on postoperative complications, length of hospital stay (LOS), and long-term survival. A total of 62 patients underwent gastrectomy through an open or a laparoscopic approach (31 pts each). The study population did not show statistically significant differences in demographics, operative risk, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The laparoscopic group reported significantly minimized overall complications (45.2 vs. 71%, p = 0.039) and pulmonary complications (0 vs. 9.7%, p = 0.038) as well as a shorter LOS (8 vs. 12 days, p = 0.007). Lymph node harvest was equal between the groups, although long-term overall survival presented significantly better after laparoscopic gastrectomy (p = 0.048), without a relevant difference in terms of disease-free and disease-specific survivals. Laparoscopic gastrectomy proves effective in elderly LAGC patients, offering substantial short- and long-term postoperative benefits.

Abstract
This review discusses different protein sources and their role in human nutrition, focusing on their structure, digestibility, and bioavailability. Plant-based proteins, such as those found in legumes, nuts, and seeds, may contain anti-nutritional factors that impact their bioavailability apart from structural and compositional differences from animal proteins. Animal proteins are generally highly digestible and nutritionally superior to plant proteins, with higher amino acid bioavailability. Alternative protein sources are also processed in different ways, which can alter their structure and nutritional value, which is also discussed.

Outcomes of Laparoscopic Surgery in Very Elderly Patients with Colorectal Cancer: A Survival Analysis and Comparative Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7122. [PMID: 38002734 PMCID: PMC10672623 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12227122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a global health concern, particularly among the elderly population. This study aimed to assess the impact of laparoscopic surgery on CRC patients aged ≥80 years. (2) Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from consecutive CRC patients who underwent surgery at our institution between July 2018 and July 2023. The patients were categorized into three groups: those aged over 80 who underwent laparoscopic surgery (Group A), those aged over 80 who underwent open surgery (Group B), and those under 80 who underwent laparoscopic surgery (Group C). We examined various clinical and surgical parameters, including demographic data, medical history, surgical outcomes, and survival. (3) Results: Group A (N = 113) had shorter hospital stays than Group B (N = 23; p = 0.042), with no significant differences in complications or 30-day outcomes. Compared to Group C (N = 269), Group A had higher comorbidity indices (p < 0.001), more emergency admissions, anemia, low hemoglobin levels, colonic obstruction (p < 0.001), longer hospital stays (p < 0.001), and more medical complications (p = 0.003). Laparotomic conversion was associated with obstructive neoplasms (p < 0.001), and medical complications with ASA scores (p < 0.001). Both the medical and surgical complications predicted adverse 30-day outcomes (p = 0.007 and p < 0.001). Survival analysis revealed superior overall survival (OS) in Group A vs. Group B (p < 0.0001) and inferior OS vs. Group C (p < 0.0001). After a landmark analysis, the OS for patients aged 80 or older and those under 80 appeared to be similar (HR 2.55 [0.75-8.72], p = 0.136). (4) Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery in very elderly CRC patients shows comparable oncological outcomes and surgical complications to younger populations. Survival benefits are influenced by age, comorbidities, and medical complications. Further prospective multicenter studies are needed in order to validate these findings.

Significance of Preoperative Pulmonary Function on Short- and Long-Term Outcomes Following Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer. J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 27:866-877. [PMID: 36658384 PMCID: PMC9851588 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-023-05582-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative pulmonary function assessment is useful for selecting surgical candidates and operative methods and assessing the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between preoperative pulmonary function and short- and long-term outcomes in patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS Of the 1040 patients with gastric cancer (stages I-III) who had undergone R0 gastrectomy between 2009 and 2020, 750 who underwent preoperative spirometry were included. Restrictive ventilatory impairment was defined as a vital capacity of the predicted value (%VC) < 80%, while obstructive ventilatory impairment was defined as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1%) < 70%. Postoperative complications were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification. The relationship between clinical factors, including %VC, FEV1%, severe postoperative complications (CD ≥ 3b), overall survival (OS), and relapse-free survival, were assessed. RESULTS The mean age of the 750 patients was 68 ± 10.5 years. Severe postoperative complications were observed in 25 (3.3%) patients and were significantly associated with FEV1% < 70% in the univariate analysis. The 5-year OS was 72.5%. Multivariate analysis showed that the cancer stage, age > 75 years, preoperative comorbidities, %VC < 80%, total gastrectomy, severe postoperative complications, and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were the significant independent factors affecting OS. Pneumonia was significantly associated with %VC < 80%. CONCLUSIONS FEV1% < 70%was associated with the development of severe postoperative complications, while %VC < 80% was associated with poor OS independent of the cancer stage because of death from pneumonia. Spirometry helps surgeons and patients discuss the risks and benefits of surgery.

Abstract
Conventional medical instruments are not capable of passing through tortuous anatomy as required for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery due to their rigid shaft designs. Nevertheless, developments in minimally invasive surgery are pushing medical devices to become more dexterous. Amongst devices with controllable flexibility, so-called Follow-The-Leader (FTL) devices possess motion capabilities to pass through confined spaces without interacting with anatomical structures. The goal of this literature study is to provide a comprehensive overview of medical devices with FTL motion. A scientific and patent literature search was performed in five databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, IEEExplore, Espacenet). Keywords were used to isolate FTL behavior in devices with medical applications. Ultimately, 35 unique devices were reviewed and categorized. Devices were allocated according to their design strategies to obtain the three fundamental sub-functions of FTL motion: steering, (controlling the leader/end-effector orientation), propagation, (advancing the device along a specific path), and conservation (memorizing the shape of the path taken by the device). A comparative analysis of the devices was carried out, showing the commonly used design choices for each sub-function and the different combinations. The advantages and disadvantages of the design aspects and an overview of their performance were provided. Devices that were initially assessed as ineligible were considered in a possible medical context or presented with FTL potential, broadening the classification. This review could aid in the development of a new generation of FTL devices by providing a comprehensive overview of the current solutions and stimulating the search for new ones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the incidence of gastric cancer increases in elderly patients worldwide, laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for elderly patients with gastric cancer is also increasing. However, whether LG is an optimal surgical modality for elderly patients with gastric cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the technical and oncological safety of LG for elderly patients ≥ 80 years old with gastric cancer. METHODS Patients who received curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer from 2003 to 2015 were enrolled in the study. They were divided into the LG in elderly patients aged over 80 years (LG-E) group, open gastrectomy (OG) in elderly patients (OG-E) group, and LG in non-elderly patients < 80 years (LG-NE) group. Patients' demographics and short- and long-term outcomes, such as postoperative complications and 5-year survival rate, were compared between the three groups, retrospectively. RESULTS The LG-E, OG-E, and LG-NE groups comprised 45, 43, and 329 patients, respectively. In the comparison between the LG-E and OG-E groups, the incidence of distal gastrectomy (DG) and the proportions of patients with pathological tumor stage T1, pathological N0, and final stage I were significantly higher in the LG-E versus OG-E group (89 vs. 56%, 76% vs. 16%, 82% vs. 37%, and 84% vs. 35%, p < 0.01, respectively). Blood loss and the incidence of overall postoperative complications in the LG-E group were significantly lower than those in the OG-E group (40 vs. 240 g, p < 0.01, and 29% vs. 53%, p < 0.05, respectively). Although the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was not significantly different between the two groups, the 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rate was significantly higher in the LG-E group versus OG-E group (93% vs. 78%, p < 0.05). Overall comorbidities were significantly higher in the LG-E group versus LG-NE group, but there were no significant differences in short-term outcomes between the two groups. Further, although the 5-year OS rate was significantly lower in the LG-E group versus LG-NE group (67% vs. 87%, p < 0.01), there was no significant difference between the two groups in 5-year DSS rate. CONCLUSION LG is technically and oncologically safe for the treatment of gastric cancer in both elderly patients aged ≥ 80 years and the non-elderly and can be an optimal surgical modality for elderly patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM We aimed to assess the risk factors for postoperative complications and long-term outcome of patients aged ≥80 years after curative resection for gastric cancer (GC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients aged ≥80 years who underwent curative gastrectomy for stage I-III GC between 2013 and 2020 were included. Clinical factors were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Of all 109 patients, 29 (26.6%) had 33 postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥2). The rate of postoperative complications was higher in those with greater blood loss (≥170 ml, p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, greater blood loss was confirmed as an independent predictor of postoperative complications (p<0.001). The 30-day, 180-day, 1-year, and 3-year cumulative overall survival rates were 100%, 97.0%, 91.6%, and 74.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed postoperative complications (p=0.014) and low prognostic nutritional index (PNI, p=0.044) were independent prognostic factors for poor overall survival. CONCLUSION Performing operations with less bleeding is important to reduce postoperative complications. According to the analysis of long-term survival, patients who experience postoperative complications and patients with a low preoperative PNI require special attention in the follow-up period. Nutritional support should be considered in patients with malnutrition.

World J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 13:1351-1360. [PMID: 34950425 PMCID: PMC8649569 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v13.i11.1351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
As the elderly population increases, the number of patients with gastric cancer has also been increasing. Elderly people have various preoperative problems such as malnutrition, high frequency of comorbidities, decreased performance status, and dementia. Furthermore, when surgery is performed, high postoperative complication rates and death from other diseases are also concerns. The goal of surgery in the elderly is that short-term outcomes are comparable to those in nonelderly, and long-term outcomes reach life expectancy. Perioperative problems in the elderly include: (1) Poor perioperative nutritional status; (2) Postoperative pneumonia; and (3) Psychological problems (dementia and postoperative delirium). Malnutrition in the elderly has been reported to be associated with increased postoperative complications and dementia, pointing out the importance of nutritional management. In addition, multidisciplinary team efforts, including perioperative respiratory rehabilitation, preoperative oral care, and early postoperative mobilization programs, are effective in preventing postoperative pneumonia. Furthermore, there are many reports on the usefulness of laparoscopic surgery for the elderly, and we considered that minimally invasive surgery would be the optimal treatment after assessing preoperative risk.

Worldwide incidence of surgical site infections in general surgical patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 488,594 patients. Int J Surg 2021; 95:106136. [PMID: 34655800 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2021.106136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Establishing worldwide incidence of general surgical site infections (SSI) is imperative to understand the extent of the condition to assist decision-makers to improve the planning and delivery of surgical care. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the worldwide incidence of SSI and identify associated factors in adult general surgical patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review was undertaken using MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), EMBASE (Elsevier) and the Cochrane Library to identify cross-sectional, cohort and observational studies reporting SSI incidence or prevalence. Studies of less than 50 participants were excluded. Data extraction and quality appraisal were undertaken independently by two review authors. The primary outcome was cumulative incidence of SSI occurring up to 30 days postoperative. The secondary outcome was the severity/depth of SSI. The I2 statistic was used to explore heterogeneity. Random effects models were used in the presence of substantial heterogeneity. Subgroup, meta-regression sensitivity analyses were used to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed using Hunter's plots and Egger's regression test. RESULTS Of 2091 publications retrieved, 62 studies were included. Of these, 57 were included in the meta-analysis across six anatomical locations with 488,594 patients. The pooled 30-day cumulative incidence of SSI was 11% (95% CI 10%-13%). No prevalence data were identified. SSI rates varied across anatomical location, surgical approach, and priority (i.e., planned, emergency). Multivariable meta-regression showed SSI is significantly associated with duration of surgery (estimate 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02, P = .014). CONCLUSIONS and Relevance: 11 out of 100 general surgical patients are likely to develop an infection 30 days after surgery. Given the imperative to reduce the burden of harm caused by SSI, high-quality studies are warranted to better understand the patient and related risk factors associated with SSI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to compare the postoperative complications after Robotic total gastrectomy (RTG) and robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) and to systematically evaluate the safety and feasibility of RTG for the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Patients with GC who underwent RTG or RDG for curative intent between March 2010 and August 2019 were analyzed. We used propensity score matching (PSM) to reduce selection bias. The morbidity and mortality within 30 days after surgery between the RTG and the RDG groups were compared. RESULTS According to Clavien-Dindo (C-D) classification, the morbidity and mortality of the RTG group were comparable to those of the RDG group. Subgroup analyses showed no significant difference between the RTG and RDG groups in all stratified parameters (all P > .05). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥70 years (P = .002) and surgeons' experience ≤25 cases (P = .013) were independent risk factors for overall complication. Surgeons' experience ≤25 cases (P = .010) was identified as an independent risk factor for severe complication. CONCLUSION RTG is a safe and feasible surgical procedure for the treatment of GC with acceptable morbidity and mortality. More complications were observed for RTG, indicating that RTG is more invasive than RDG.

Predictive Factors for Short-Term Survival after Non-Curative Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer. Digestion 2021; 102:630-639. [PMID: 32932255 DOI: 10.1159/000510165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS For early gastric cancer (EGC) treated using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with poor curability defined by the Japanese Guidelines (non-curative EGC, N-EGC), additional gastrectomy has been recommended. However, N-EGC patients without additional gastrectomy often die of other diseases within a relatively short interval after ESD. It has been unclear whether additional gastrectomy is beneficial or not for such patients. The aim of this study was to clarify predictors for short-term survival of N-EGC patients without additional gastrectomy after ESD. METHODS One hundred six N-EGC patients without additional gastrectomy were included in this study. Factors related to short-term survival, defined as death within 3 years after ESD, were evaluated using uni- and multivariate analyses by comparing patients with and without short-term survival (Groups S and C, respectively). RESULTS During the mean follow-up period of 89 months, 39 patients died (14 patients died within 3 years, being Group S). The cause of death was gastric cancer for only 1 patient in the Group C. The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 86.8 and 81.8%, respectively, and the 3- and 5-years disease-specific survival rates were 100 and 98.9%, respectively. Univariate analyses showed that short-term survival was statistically associated with elevated morphology, high-risk status for lymph node metastases as defined by the eCura system, severe comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI] ≥3), low level of activity in daily living (being unable to go out by oneself), habitation (a nursing home), and several poor nutritional prognostic indices (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio ≥2.5, geriatric nutritional risk index <92, C-reactive protein ≥1.0). In the multivariate analysis, a high CCI (≥3) was the independent predictor for short-term survival after ESD (odds ratio, 8.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.53-43.0; p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS Severe comorbidity indicated by a high CCI score (≥3) was the independent predictor for short-term survival for EGC patients without additional gastrectomy after non-curative ESD. Since the cause of death for most patients was not gastric cancer, observational follow-ups without additional gastrectomy might be a reasonable option for patients with a poor general status indicated by a CCI ≥3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether intensive chemotherapy for Stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients aged 80 years or older is beneficial prognostically. This study aimed to investigate the overall survival of Stage IV CRC patients aged ≥ 80 years receiving intensive chemotherapy. METHODS The study design was a population-based, multicenter, historical cohort study. The extracted participants' data were consecutive patients diagnosed as Stage IV CRC between January 2008 and May 2015 in nine hospitals in Japan. Patients were classified into two groups according to age: aged group (≥ 80 years) and younger group (< 80 years old). Intensive chemotherapy was defined as at least two courses of doublet chemotherapy with oxaliplatin-or irinotecan-based regimens. The primary outcome was the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of age ≥ 80 years in patients who undergoing intensive chemotherapy. RESULTS During the study period, 1259 patients were treated for Stage IV CRC in the participating hospitals. In total, 231 patients (18.3%) were in the aged group, and 1028 (81.7%) were in the younger group, and 788 (62.6%) underwent intensive chemotherapy. The median overall survival for the aged and younger group patients was 21.0 months (interquartile range (IQR), 10.6-34.1 months) and 24.3 months (IQR 12.6-39.3 months), respectively. The adjusted HR of age ≥ 80 years was 1.29 (confidence intervals 0.84-2.00). CONCLUSION Stage IV CRC patients aged 80 years or older receiving intensive chemotherapy had a similar prognosis to those aged < 80 years. Avoiding intensive chemotherapy for mCRC patients simply because they are ≥ 80 years old is not recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The short- and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for elderly patients with gastric cancer has not been evaluated. We aimed to use propensity score matching to clarify the efficacy of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for elderly patients with gastric cancer aged ≥80 years. METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 159 consecutive patients with gastric cancer aged ≥80 years who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent at our institution between 2004 and 2015. Propensity score matching was applied to compare the open gastrectomy (OG) and LG. Short- and long-term outcomes were evaluated between the propensity-matched groups. RESULTS Patients' backgrounds and surgical factors were similar in both groups except for blood loss. The median time to first flatus was significantly shorter in the LG group than in the OG group (P = 0.002). The postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the LG group (P = 0.014). The complication rate of Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher was significantly lower in the LG group (3% vs. 23%, P = 0.023). The 5-year overall survival and 5-year disease-specific survival rates were better in the LG group than in the OG group, but the differences were not significant (45% vs. 42% and 67% vs 57%, respectively). CONCLUSION LG was associated with good short-term outcomes and acceptable oncologic outcomes compared with OG in these propensity-matched patients aged ≥80 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS This study was undertaken to investigate the impact of coexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) on short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC). METHODS We reviewed the data of 798 patients treated for GC by laparoscopic gastrectomy. All procedures took place between January 2010 and December 2017. Patients were divided into three groups according to their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): severe CKD group, 44 patients with eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2; moderate CKD group, 117 patients with 45 ≤ eGFR < 60; control group, 637 patients with eGFR ≥ 60. RESULTS Based on multivariate analysis, severe CKD (eGFR < 45) emerged as an independent predictor of anastomotic leak (Hazard ratio 4.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.62-11.54). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates by group were 46.3% (severe CKD), 76.6% (moderate CKD), and 81.5% (control). Multivariate analysis likewise identified severe CKD (eGFR < 45) as an independent correlate of poor 5-year OS. The 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates did not differ significantly by group. CONCLUSIONS An eGFR value less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 is a useful factor for predicting both anastomotic leak and 5-year OS in GC patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy. Clinical care to improve eGFR should be reinforced before and after gastrectomy for GC patients with severe CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phase III trials have shown the non-inferiority of minimally invasive distal gastrectomy (MIDG) comparison with open distal gastrectomy (ODG) in patients with gastric cancer; however, it remains unclear whether MIDG is also effective in the elderly. This study aimed to clarify the efficacy of MIDG in elderly gastric cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 316 patients older than 75 years with clinical stage I/IIA gastric cancer who underwent distal gastrectomy from August 2008 to December 2016 at the Shizuoka Cancer Centre. The long-term outcomes between MIDG and ODG were compared after propensity score matching. RESULTS After propensity score matching, there were 97 patients each in the MIDG and ODG groups, with an improved balance of confounding factors between the two groups. MIDG was associated with significantly longer operative time and a lower level of blood loss than ODG. The incidence of complications was comparable between the two groups. Survival outcomes were better in the MIDG group than in the ODG group (overall survival; P = 0.034, relapse-free survival; P = 0.027). In the multivariable analysis, ODG [hazard ratio (HR) 1.971, P = 0.046], being 80 years or older (HR 2.285, P = 0.018), male sex (HR 2.428, 95% P = 0.024), and poor physical status (HR 2.324, P = 0.022) were identified as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. CONCLUSIONS We found that MIDG showed better efficacy than ODG in elderly gastric cancer patients. MIDG is an acceptable option for elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the incidence and risk factors for postoperative complications after robotic gastrectomy (RG) in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS A total of 817 patients who underwent RG for gastric cancer between March 2010 and August 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Postoperative complications were categorized according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and possible risk factors were evaluated. RESULTS Among 817 patients who underwent RG, overall, severe, local and systemic complication rates were 13.8, 4.2, 7.0 and 6.9%, respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed that an age of 70 years or older (P < 0.001) and multiorgan resection (P = 0.031) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of overall complications. Multivariable analysis showed that an age of 70 years or older (P = 0.005) and surgeons' experience ≤ 25 cases (P = 0.004) were independent risk factors for severe complications. Regarding local complications, an age of 70 years or older (P < 0.001), multiorgan resection (P = 0.010) and surgeons' experience ≤ 25 cases (P = 0.005) were identified as independent risk factors. An age of 70 years or older (P < 0.001), a BMI of 25 or higher (P = 0.045) and the presence of comorbidity (P = 0.029) were identified as independent risk factors for systemic complications. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that RG is a safe and feasible procedure for the treatment of gastric cancer, and it has an acceptable postoperative morbidity. Elderly patients and insufficient surgeon experience were two major risk factors for the occurrence of complications following RG. We suggest that surgeons choose patients in good condition during their RG learning phase to reduce learning-associated morbidity.

Abstract
Introduction: The study aims to evaluate the long-term results of patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Ankara University Medical Faculty, Surgical Oncology Clinic, within 5 years. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Surgical Oncology Clinic of Ankara University Medical Faculty between January 2014 and September 2019. One hundred forty-six patients were included in the study. Results: Fifty-one (34.9%) of the patients were female; 95 (65.1%) were male. The mean ± standard deviation and median (minimum-maximum) values of the patients were 60.92 ± 14.13 and 64.00 (22.00-93.00), respectively (Table 1). Eighty-seven (59.6%) cases were located in the antrum, 29 (19.9%) were in the cardia region, and 30 (20.5%) were in the corpus region. Overall, 106 (72.6%) of 146 patients were alive, while 40 (27.4%) were ex. The mean survival was 21.8 months (0-69). Postoperative mortality was seen in 9 patients (6.2%) and our disease-free survival rate was 70.5%. Recurrence occurred in 14 (9.6%) of all patients. [Table: see text] Conclusion: In conclusion, although laparoscopic gastrectomy is a reliable and feasible method for gastric cancer, the standardization of laparoscopic surgery is required in clinics.

J Surg Res 2020; 257:579-586. [PMID: 32927324 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2020.07.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2019] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 07/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program versus conventional perioperative care on the short-term postoperative outcomes among elderly patients with gastric cancer who are undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy. METHODS Elderly patients with gastric cancer (age ≥ 65 y) who are undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy were randomized to ERAS or conventional perioperative care groups. Short-term postoperative outcomes, including postoperative hospital stay, mortality, complications, readmission rate, and reoperation rate were compared between the two groups. In addition, blood samples were taken preoperatively (baseline) and on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. Systemic human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression on monocytes and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 171 eligible patients, 85 patients were assigned to receive ERAS program treatment (ERAS group) and 86 patients to receive conventional care (conventional group). The patients' characteristics were comparable. Postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the ERAS group than in the conventional group (11 [7-11] versus 13 [8-20] d, P < 0.001). Hospital mortality, overall morbidity, morbidity ≥ Clavien-Dindo (C-D) grade II, readmission rate, and reoperation rate did not show significant differences between the two groups. However, morbidity ≥ C-D grade IIIa was lower in the ERAS group than that in the conventional group (8.2% versus 18.6%, P = 0.047). The ERAS program shortened the number of days to postoperative first flatus, first defecation, semifluid diet, and soft bland diet. Moreover, the ERAS program increased the HLA-DR expression on monocytes and decreased the CRP levels on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. CONCLUSIONS The ERAS program was feasible and effective for elderly patients with gastric cancer who are undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy. The benefits of ERAS were associated with improvement of impaired immune function and suppression of inflammatory reaction.

Abstract
Background The benefits of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in elderly gastric-cancer patients still remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LG in elderly gastric-cancer patients. Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent LG or open gastrectomy (OG) between June 2009 and July 2015 in a single high-volume center. We compared surgical, short-term, and long-term survival outcomes among an elderly (≥70 years old) LG (ELG) group (n = 114), a non-elderly (<70 years old) LG (NLG) group (n = 740), and an elderly OG (EOG) group (n = 383). Results Except for extended time to first flatus, the surgical and short-term outcomes of the ELG group were similar to those of the NLG group. The ELG group revealed comparable disease-specific survival (DSS) rates to the NLG group (64.9% vs 66.2%, P = 0.476), although the overall survival (OS) rate was lower (57.0% vs 65.5%, P < 0.001) in the ELG group than in the NLG group. The ELG group showed longer operation time than the EOG group (236.4 ± 77.3 vs 179 ± 52.2 min, P < 0.001). The ELG group had less estimated blood loss (174.0 ± 88.4 vs 209.3 ± 133.8, P = 0.008) and shorter post-operative hospital stay (8.3 ± 2.5 vs 9.2 ± 4.5, P = 0.048) than the EOG group. The severity of complications was similar between the ELG and NLG groups. Multivariate analysis confirmed that LG was not a risk factor for post-operative complications. Conclusions LG is a feasible and safe procedure for elderly patients with acceptable short- and long-term survival outcomes.

Abstract
The National Clinical Database (NCD) of Japan was established in 2010 with the board certification system. A joint committee of 16 gastroenterological surgery database-affiliated organizations has been nurturing this nationwide database and utilizing its data for various analyses. Stepwise board certification systems have been validated by the NCD and are used to improve the surgical outcomes of patients. The use of risk calculators based on risk models can be particularly helpful for establishing appropriate and less invasive surgical treatments for individual patients. Data obtained from the NCD reflect current developments in the surgical approaches used in hospitals, which have progressed from open surgery to endoscopic and robot-assisted procedures. An investigation of the data acquired by the NCD could answer some relevant clinical questions and lead to better surgical management of patients. Furthermore, excellent surgical outcomes can be achieved through international comparisons of the national databases worldwide. This review examines what we have learned from the NCD of gastroenterological surgery and discusses what future developments we can expect.

Abstract
Background: With the rapid aging of global population, the number of elderly patients with gastric cancer is increasing. This study aimed to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) versus open gastrectomy (OG) in elderly gastric cancer patients. Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library databases from January 1994 to May 2019. Surgical safety, postoperative complications, number of harvested lymph nodes, and overall survival rate were included and analyzed. The qualities of the included studies were evaluated by Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. The evidence of outcomes was evaluated using the GRADE approach. The Review Manager® 5.3 (Cochrane, London, UK) and Stata® 14.0 (StataCorp., College Station, Texas) were used to analyze the outcomes. Results: Thirteen studies containing 4768 elderly patients with gastric cancer were included in this meta-analysis. LG was more favorable than OG in terms of overall postoperative morbidity (odds ratio [OR]: 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44 to 0.70; P < .00001), the postoperative stay (standardized mean difference [SMD]: -0.56; 95% CI: -0.76 to (-0.37); P < .00001), and the number of harvested lymph nodes (SMD: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.29; P = .0003). No significant difference was found in anastomotic leakage rate (OR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.12; P = .21), mental disease (OR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.44 to 1.44; P = .44), or overall survival rate (P = .62) between two groups. However, in the subgroup with a cutoff age of 80 years, the anastomotic leakage rate was higher in LG (OR: 10.27; 95% CI: 1.31 to 80.35; P = .03). Conclusions: LG was more favorable than OG in the elderly patients <80 years old with gastric cancer.

Abstract
The National Clinical Database (NCD) of Japan grew rapidly, harvesting over 11 million cases of data between 2011 and 2018 from more than 5000 facilities. This is the Report of the NCD based upon gastrointestinal surgery information in 4 420 175 cases from 2011 to 2018. More than 70% of all gastrointestinal surgeries were performed at certified institutions, and the percentage of surgeries performed at certified institutions was particularly high for the esophagus (93.8% in 2018), liver (89.4%), pancreas (91.3%), and spleen (86.9%). Also, more than 70% of the surgeries were performed with the participation of the board-certified surgeon. As the patients have been getting older, the morbidities have been increasing. However, the mortalities have been kept at a low level. The rates of endoscopic surgery have been increasing year by year, especially high in low anterior resection (67.0%) and esophagectomy (61.0%). Nationwide, this database is surely expecting to ensure the quality of board certification system and surgical outcomes in gastroenterological surgery.

Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmada bir üniversite kliniğinde gerçekleştirilen laparoskopik gastrektomilerin erken dönem sonuçlarının paylaşılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Eylül 2015- Eylül 2018 tarihleri arasında yapılan laparoskopik gastrektomiler total ve distal olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmış, teknik, patolojik sonuç ve erken postoperatif komplikasyonlar açısından incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 11’i erkek, 7’si kadın olmak üzere 18 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Yaş ortalaması 57,4 olup, ortalama BMI 26,3 idi. 13 hastada cerrahi ilk planda tutulmuş sadece beş hastaya neoadjuvan tedavi protokolü uygulanmıştır. Total gastrektomi 14 hastada, distal gastrektomi 4 hastada tercih edilen ameliyat yöntemidir. Tüm hastalara tümör yerleşimine göre standart D2 lenf disseksiyonu uygulandı ve Total gastrektomi grubunda Ortalama 33,2 distal gastrektomi grubunda 32 lenf nodu disseke edildi. Ortalama oral başlama süresi ve Total gastrektomi grubunda 6,4 gün distal gastrektomi grubunda 2,5 gün idi. Duodenal güdük kaçağı 4 hastada, özefagojejunostomi kaçağı 2 hastada tespit edilirken 1 hastada da dren yerinde kanama görüldü.Sonuç: Laparoskopik gastrektomi ve lenfatik disseksiyonun yeterliliğini gösteren birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Ancak öğrenim süreci uzun, teknik zorlukları fazla olan bu ameliyatlarda deneyim ve tecrübe arttıkça ameliyat sürenin kısalacağını ve komplikasyon oranının azalacağını düşünmekteyiz.
