Dimitrov","doi":"10.21614/sgo-547","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21614/sgo-547","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Rectal cancer treatment has changed over the last several decades. Total mesorectal excision (TME) has proven to be the gold standard in rectal cancer surgery. Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) and robotic total mesorectal excision (RoTME) for low and mid rectal cancer are implemented to overcome some of the difficulties of the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study is to show a single-center experience in the learning curves of both RoTME and TaTME. Material and methods: A single-center prospective study comparing the first 17 consecutive RoTME cases from January 2016 to May 2019 to the first 16 consecutive cases of TaTME from July 2019 to June 2021 was conducted. The difference in the time periods is due to the later implementation of TaTME in the center. All procedures were performed by a single team. Results: A total of 33 patients were included in the study – 17 RoTME patients and 16 TaTME patients. The groups were homogeneously distributed in terms of patients’ characteristics and stage. Comparing the two groups, no statistically significant differences between them were found in terms of complication rates (p=0.692), positive circumferential resection margins rates (p=0.000), frequency of anastomotic leak rates (p=0.596), time from completion of radiotherapy to surgery (p=0.229) and time from surgery to ileostomy closure (p=0.880). A statistically significant shorter operative time was found in the TaTME group (p=0.008). Conclusion: The learning curve should be considered in all procedures. A structured training pathway for TaTME and RoTME is essential. No differences between robTME and TaTME in the learning curve were observed in our center.","PeriodicalId":22101,"journal":{"name":"Surgery, Gastroenterology and Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83763781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A complementary study was carried out with upper digestive endoscopy (UDE) and ecoendoscopy. The UDE confirmed a lesion on the lesser curvature, covered by normal mucosa, raising suspicion of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or lipoma. However, the biopsy of the lesion did not reveal signs of malignancy. The patient was then proposed for surgery. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for extramucosal enucleation of a gastric lipoma measuring 8.5 cm, with resection of the adherent mucosa.

Most cases of pancreatic glucagonoma are associated with symptoms such as skin rash and necrotizing migratory erythema; however, some cases are asymptomatic. Complete tumor resection has an important impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with primary PNETs. The 2019 edition of the Japanese Guidelines for Neuroendocrine Tumors recommends recurrent lesions of pancreatic and gastrointestinal NETs to be treated multimodally, including resection if the lesions are curatively resectable. However, no treatment strategy has been established for recurrent pancreatic glucagonoma. We report the case of a patient who underwent distal pancreatectomy for primary pancreatic glucagonoma and developed multiple hepatic metastatic recurrences five years after the primary surgery. After two and a half years of somatostatin analog (SSA) treatment, neither tumor growth nor extrahepatic recurrence was detected, and curative surgery was performed. This study reports a rare case of complete resection for multiple metachronous liver metastases from a pancreatic glucagonoma after curative surgery. During SSA therapy, the metastatic tumors showed a very slow growth pattern. No other distant extrahepatic metastases emerged. Curative hepatectomy was performed safely, and the postoperative course was uneventful.","PeriodicalId":22101,"journal":{"name":"Surgery, Gastroenterology and Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
