Abstract
INTRODUCTION Locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is found in 35% of patients with pancreatic cancer. However, these patients often have occult metastatic disease. Patients with occult metastases are unlikely to benefit from locoregional treatments. This study evaluated the yield of occult metastases during staging laparoscopy in patients with LAPC. METHODS Between January 2013 and January 2017 all patients with LAPC underwent a staging laparoscopy after a recent tri-phasic CT-scan of the chest and abdomen. Data were retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively maintained database. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to predict metastasis found at laparoscopy. RESULTS A total of 91 (41% male, median age 64 years) LAPC patients were included. The median time between CT-scan and staging laparoscopy was 21 days. During staging laparoscopy metastases were found in 17 patients (19%, 95% CI: 12%-28%). Seven (8%) patients had liver-only, 9 (10%) patients peritoneal-only, and 1 (1%) patient both liver and peritoneal metastases. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that CEA (OR 1.056, 95% CI 1.007-1.107, p = 0.02) was the only preoperative predictor for occult metastases. In a multivariable logistic regression analysis of the preoperative risk factors again only CEA was an independent predictor for occult metastatic disease (p = 0.03). Patients with a CEA above 5 μg/L had a risk of occult metastasis of 91%. FOLFIRINOX was given to 69 (76%) of the patients with a median number of cycles of 8. Subsequent radiotherapy was given to 44 (48%) patients after the FOLFIRINOX treatment. Six (14%) patients underwent a resection after FOLFIRINOX and radiotherapy. The overall 1-year survival was 53% in patients without occult metastasis versus 29% with occult metastasis (p = 0.11). The 1-year OS for patients that completed FOLFIRINOX and radiotherapy was 84%. CONCLUSION The yield of staging laparoscopy for occult intrahepatic or peritoneal metastases in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer was 19%. Staging laparoscopy is recomended for patients with LAPC for accurate staging to determine optimal treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incisional herniation is a common complication after abdominal surgery associated with considerable morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine whether incisional hernia is an early complication, in order to understand better the aetiology of incisional hernia formation. METHODS This study involved the secondary analysis of a subset of patients included in a large RCT comparing small and large tissue bites (5 mm every 5 mm, or 1 cm every 1 cm) in patients scheduled to undergo elective abdominal surgery by midline laparotomy. The distance between the rectus abdominis muscles (RAM distance) was measured by standardized ultrasound imaging 1 month and 1 year after surgery. The relationship between the 1-year incidence of incisional hernia and the RAM distance at 1 month was investigated. RESULTS Some 219 patients were investigated, 113 in the small-bites and 106 in the large-bites group. At 1 month after surgery the RAM distance was smaller for small bites than for large bites (mean(s.d.) 1·90(1·18) versus 2·39(1·34) cm respectively; P = 0·005). At 1 year, patients with incisional hernia had a longer RAM distance at 1 month than those with no incisional hernia (mean(s.d.) 2·43(1·48) versus 2·03(1·19) cm respectively; relative risk 1·14, 95 per cent c.i. 1·03 to 1·26, P = 0·015). CONCLUSION A RAM distance greater than 2 cm at 1 month after midline laparotomy is associated with incisional hernia. Closure with small bites results in a smaller distance between the muscles.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative radiological assessment of hepatic steatosis is recommended in patients undergoing a liver resection, but few studies investigated the diagnostic accuracy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy of preoperative CT or MRI measurements of steatosis in patients with colorectal liver metastases after induction chemotherapy. METHODS MRI measurements (relative signal intensity decrease; RSID), N = 36, and CT scan measurements (Hounsfield units; HU), N = 32, were compared with histological steatosis assessment. Diagnostic accuracy was determined for detecting any (>5%) or marked macrovesicular steatosis (>33%). RESULTS MRI showed the highest correlation with histology (r = 0.82, P < 0.001), compared to CT measurements (r = -0.65, P < 0.001). Based on linear regression analysis, radiological cut-off values for 5% and 33% macrovesicular steatosis, corresponded to 0.7% and 19.2% RSID in the MRI-group, and 60.4 and 54.2 HU in the CT-group, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity for the detection of any and marked macrovesicular steatosis using MRI was 87% and 69%, and 78% and 100%, respectively, and for CT, 83% and 64%, and 70% and 87%, respectively. CONCLUSION In patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy MRI measurements of steatosis showed the highest correlation coefficient and the best diagnostic accuracy, as compared to CT measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The results of resection of locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancers, including sacral resection, were analysed critically. METHODS Between 1987 and 2007, 353 patients with locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer, all treated in a tertiary referral centre, were identified from a prospective database. Twenty-five patients (eight primary and 17 recurrent tumours) underwent en bloc sacral resection. RESULTS A mid-sacral resection was carried out in 12 patients (level S3) and a low sacral resection in 13 (level S4/S5). Nineteen patients had an R0, four an R1 and two an R2 resection. There was no postoperative mortality. Median follow-up was 32 months. Incomplete resection had an independent negative influence on local control (5-year local recurrence rate 42 versus 0 per cent in those with and without incomplete resection; P < 0.001). The 5-year overall survival rate was 30 per cent. Five patients with recurrent tumour had pathological invasion into the sacral bone and none survived beyond 1 year. CONCLUSION Abdominosacral resection can be performed in patients with locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer. Patients who cannot undergo a complete resection or have clear evidence of cortical invasion have a poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic groin pain, especially in professional sportsmen, is a difficult clinical problem. METHODS From January 1999 to August 2005, 55 professional and semiprofessional sportsmen (53 males; mean age, 25 +/- 4.5 years; range, 17-36 years) with undiagnosed chronic groin pain were followed prospectively. All the patients underwent an endoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) mesh placement. RESULTS Incipient hernia was diagnosed in the study athletes: 15 on the right side (27%), 12 on the left side (22%), and 9 bilaterally (16%). In 20 patients (36%), an inguinal hernia was found: 3 direct inguinal hernias (5%) and 17 indirect hernias (31%). All the athletes returned to their normal sports level within 3 months after the operation. CONCLUSIONS A TEP repair must be proposed to patients with prolonged groin pain unresponsive to conservative treatment. If no clear pathology is identified, reinforcement of the wall using a mesh offers good clinical results for athletes with idiopathic groin pain.
