However, no standardized early detection pathway exists. This study evaluates a multicenter clinical care pathway integrating bedside endoscopy to reduce time to diagnose AL.Methods: This international, multicenter, prospective observational study evaluates early endoscopic inspection for AL detection. Endoscopic assessments are performed at the bedside using a point-of-care digital rectoscope. Eligible patients include those undergoing colorectal resection for cancer with a colorectal or coloanal anastomosis within 15 cm of the anorectal junction. The clinical pathway includes bedside endoscopic inspection 3-6 days post-surgery, C-reactive protein-guided CT scans with rectal contrast, and follow-up endoscopy at 2-3 weeks. The primary outcome is time to AL diagnosis. Secondary outcomes include diagnostic accuracy, patient-reported comfort (Modified Gloucester Scale), stoma rate, anastomosis healing at one year, and cost-effectiveness. A propensity score-matched historical cohort will be used for comparison. Based on previous reports, we hypothesize this pathway will reduce the median diagnosis time from 15 to 5 days. With 95% confidence and 80% power, 130 patients are needed, with 153 total to account for a 15% maximum dropout rate.Conclusion: The REAL study is designed to evaluate whether a clinical pathway incorporating routine endoscopic assessment of colorectal anastomoses reduces time to diagnosis of AL and initiation of treatment.","PeriodicalId":11241,"journal":{"name":"Digestive Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144110220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with <15 and ≥15 LN retrieved were compared after propensity-score matching based on patient and tumor characteristics. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival.Results: A total of 2047 patients were included in the study. After propensity score matching, 522 patients with ≥15 LNs were matched to 522 patients with <15 LNs. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between both groups, with 3-year survival rates of 56% versus 59%, respectively. Patients with ≥15 LNs had a more advanced pN-category.

Similar results were found in the propensity score matched cohort using 23 LNs as cut-off.Conclusions: ≥15 LNs retrieved during gastrectomy for cancer was associated with higher pN-stage, likely as a result of stage migration.

First, the resectability was confirmed (step 1). Next, SMA approach was applied (step 2). In this step, the anterior and left sides of the SMA were dissected, and the left renal vein was confirmed.

Subsequently, Whipple procedure was performed with lymphadenectomy around the right side of the SMA (step 5). Finally, hepaticojejunostomy and gastrojejunostomy were performed (step 6).

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to gather the latest published data to determine whether patients with a history of appendectomy have an increased risk of developing CD or not. Methods MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for case-control and cohort studies assessing the risk of developing CD after appendectomy. The pooled adjusted and not adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for case-control studies. Heterogeneity was assessed. Studies were ranked using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and were all of good quality. Results Fourteen case-control studies and 6 cohort studies were included. Meta-analysis of case-control studies (33'243 patients) of raw Odds Ratio shows a positive association between appendectomy and CD (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 0.97 to 2.36, I2=87%), which was not statistically significant (p=0.069). The meta-analysis of adjusted Odds Ratio shows that appendectomy represents a statistically significant risk factor for the development of CD (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.01 to 3.45, p=0.047. I2=89%). Conclusion Appendectomy appears to be a risk factor for the development of CD. However, the discrepant results obtained by meta-analysis of unadjusted OR, the heterogeneity between studies, and the lack of precision of the magnitude of the association mandate confirmation by a large epidemiological study.","PeriodicalId":11241,"journal":{"name":"Digestive Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143973448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to test the reliability of a new score (PhotoNodes Score [PNS]) conceived to rate the quality of lymphadenectomy in minimally invasive gastrectomy. The primary outcome of the study was to assess the inter-observer agreement among the reviewers assigning the score. The secondary outcome was the association between PNS and survival.Methods: This is a multicentric observational prospective study enrolling patients undergoing minimally invasive gastrectomy for gastric cancer with D2 lymphadenectomy. A set of laparoscopic/robotic images will be collected from each patient. Based on each set of images, the quality of lymphadenectomy performed will be rated with the new PNS by three surgeons. Fleiss' Kappa measure of agreement will be used to study the rating agreement among examining surgeons. The PNS score will correlate with disease-free and overall survival.Conclusion: The spread of minimally invasive approaches in oncologic gastric surgery made the collection of intraoperative images easier; for this reason, we believe that PNS could represent a new and efficient tool to assess the quality of D2 lymphadenectomy in clinical practice.

This study presents outcomes of patients undergoing CCS in a regional hospital by a fellowship-trained colorectal surgeon.Methods: Demographic, perioperative, postoperative, and oncological outcomes for 50 successive patients who underwent CCS in a regional hospital were collected. Outcomes were compared to colorectal cancer key performance indicators and textbook outcomes.Results: Fifty patients (56% male) were identified, of whom 41 (82%) underwent elective surgery. The median follow-up was 49 months. Operations performed included 31 (62%) right hemicolectomies, 18 (36%) high anterior resections, 1 (2%) subtotal colectomy, and 1 (2%) low anterior resection. The majority (64%, n = 32) were completed laparoscopically. Anastomotic leak rate was 4.3% (n = 2). The major morbidity rate (Clavien-Dindo ≥III) was 14% (n = 7). Readmission, reoperation, and mortality at 30 days were 0%, 8%, and 0%, respectively. The R0 resection rate was 98% with a median lymph node yield of 20.
