Following resection of the specimen an anastomosis is formed between the gastric conduit, formed from the stomach, and the remaining esophagus. The method used for constructing this anastomosis varies widely between units—broadly speaking surgeons use a circular stapled, linear stapled or handsewn technique. Methods: Using a prospectively maintained database, we reviewed the first consecutive 30 RAMIE cases performed at our Centre. Outcomes, with particular focus on the anastomosis, were reviewed. We also describe in detail the technical steps involved in the formation of a fully robotic linear stapled, side-to-side, anastomosis. Results: We report on the first 30 patients undergoing RAMIE at our Centre, all of whom had a robotic linear stapled anastomosis. The patient characteristics were comparable to similar cancer cohorts reported on previously in terms of disease stage, age, sex and neoadjuvant treatment. Thirty- and 90-day mortality was 0%. The technique appears to have a steep learning curve with a 50% leak rate in the first 10 cases, reducing to 15% in the subsequent 20 cases. Conclusions: Robotic linear stapled anastomosis following esophagectomy is safe and feasible. The apparent learning curve appears similar to handsewn and circular stapled techniques.","PeriodicalId":72217,"journal":{"name":"Annals of esophagus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49334779","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}

One of the complications with potentially serious consequences after esophagectomy is an anastomotic leakage. This complication is associated with prolonged hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality. In the postoperative period it can be challenging to recognize this complication and make a differentiation from other complications, such as pneumonia. Early recognition is a prerequisite for prompt treatment, which is known to lead to improved results. Nowadays, most centers performing esophagectomies use a standardized enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program to treat patients peri-operatively. These programs should also include strategies to early detect and treat anastomotic leakage. This article describes the ERAS program developed at the upper GI unit of the University Medical Centre Utrecht, the Netherlands. It explores the various aspects of such a pathway, such as postoperative monitoring, nasogastric tube management, feeding protocols, early warning signs and diagnostics to be used in case of suspicion of a complication. In addition, the ERAS program is clarified with available relevant literature on different topics of the perioperative management for esophagectomy patients. The main focus of this article is the early recognition and detection of anastomotic leakage, which enables aggressive treatment.","PeriodicalId":72217,"journal":{"name":"Annals of esophagus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43243602","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}

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and ILD are two pathological conditions often strictly related, even if a clear relationship of causality has not been demonstrated. The mechanisms leading to ILD are not completely understood, although it is recognized that different factors are involved. In recent years, it has been suggested that acid gastroesophageal reflux is an important cause of both systemic sclerosis (SSc)-ILD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It has been hypothesized that micro aspiration of gastric material may play a fundamental role in the fibrotic transformation of pulmonary parenchyma. According to that, some studies have described antireflux procedures for patients affected by ILD and GERD. However, although some studies reported good results in terms of improvement of lung function, the role of antireflux surgery remains uncertain as well as not univocal. An extensive literature search was performed from January 1970 to 31 December 2020 in PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The research was limited to English-language studies. The aim of the present study was to summarize the effect of antireflux surgery for the treatment of abnormal acid GER on the natural history of this disease.","PeriodicalId":72217,"journal":{"name":"Annals of esophagus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42810310","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}

The UES disorders can provoke overwhelming consequences such as bronchopulmonary aspiration, malnutrition, impaired quality of life or even death. The best treatment modality for UES disorders remains unclear. The purpose of this review was to assess indications and outcomes of CPM and TBI for the treatment of UES abnormalities. We performed a review of the literature regarding the outcomes of CPM and TBI for UES disorders. All articles between 1990 and 2020 describing CPM, TBI, or those comparing both techniques were analyzed. Treatment indications, safety, and outcomes of both procedures were evaluated as primary endpoints. Quality of life improvement was evaluated as a secondary endpoint. Outcomes after CPM and TBI for UES disorders are heterogeneously reported. Data suggest that both surgical and endoscopic CPM are safe and have encouraging long-lasting results in terms of symptoms relief and quality of life improvement. TBI is also a safe procedure, with good but temporary postoperative results. Current data are heterogeneous and show that both CPM and TBI are safe and effective treatment modalities for UES disorders. Better long-lasting effects, however, seem to be achieved with CPM.","PeriodicalId":72217,"journal":{"name":"Annals of esophagus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47473458","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}

Appropriately selecting patients for endoscopic therapy ensures curative resection, better survival, improved quality of life following the procedure and decrease risk of future recurrence. To review recent evidence and approaches for endoscopic treatment of Barrett’s esophagus. Selecting the best approach is tailored to the lesion, If BE is flat, ablation using radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation is indicated. In case of nodular BE, endoscopic resection using endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection should be performed first, based on lesion size and available expertise. Following endoscopic resection, ablation of the remaining flat epithelium is indicated to ensure complete remission of BE. Data regarding training and quality benchmarks for ESD in the management of esophageal adenocarcinoma and Barrett’s esophagus is needed. Combining ESD with other modalities in the management of early esophageal adenocarcinoma extending to the submucosa (T1b) needs to be explored.","PeriodicalId":72217,"journal":{"name":"Annals of esophagus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47497674","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}

Thompson","doi":"10.21037/aoe-22-5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21037/aoe-22-5","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a common procedure to treat obesity. A potential complication of LAGB is pseudoachalasia (an esophageal motility disorder). In select individuals, a LAGB may create high outflow resistance, leading to a high-pressure environment in the distal esophagus, which then leads to progressive weakness and dilatation. Treatment of pseudoachalasia hinges on reversing the underlying cause. Case Description: A 64-year-old female, with morbid obesity [body mass index (BMI) 41 kg/m 2 ] and a hiatus hernia, underwent laparoscopic insertion of a gastric band. As part of her procedure, a hiatal repair was performed with permanent braided sutures. Post-operatively, the patient lost 30 kg, however began to notice regurgitation and dysphagia. The laparoscopic band was removed a year later, but this did not alleviate her symptoms. Endoscopy showed an abnormal, dilated, fluid-filled esophagus. The patient underwent four endoscopic dilations over the next 24 months, with minimal benefit. On the fourth dilatation, the patient aspirated and developed aspiration pneumonia, resulting in a lengthy admission. Finally, the underlying cause was addressed with a laparoscopic takedown of the anterior hiatal repair and removal of the capsule (from the LAGB). Unfortunately, the patient’s symptoms failed to improve over the next 12 months, and a difficult laparoscopic cardiomyotomy was performed. The patient subsequently improved and was then able to tolerate a normal diet. Conclusions: This case report highlights the critical nature of reversing all potential underlying causes when dealing with pseudoachalasia (i.e., removal of the LAGB and fibrotic capsule; takedown of a prior hiatal repair and/or fundoplication). As well, and of utmost importance, this case report reminds the reader that in a patient with severe symptoms of regurgitation and dysphagia, the airway must be protected during endoscopy to prevent aspiration.","PeriodicalId":72217,"journal":{"name":"Annals of esophagus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42243032","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}

D. Luketich at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Most patients in the West present with distal esophageal or esophago-gastric junction cancers, which favour the Ivor Lewis MIE, and an intrathoracic anastomosis as the operation of choice. However, the debate continues over which type of esophago-gastric anastomosis should be performed. The end-to-side stapled intrathoracic esophago-gastric anastomosis with a 28 or 29 mm circular stapler, and covering the anastomosis with an omental flap, is a well-established standardised technique at the UPMC and Norwich. In experienced hands, this technique is easy to execute once the anvil is inserted into the esophagus and the two purse-string sutures are tied. It has a low leak rate (<5%) when executed correctly. In the rare occurrence of a leak, the exact site of the leak can be visualised with a computerised tomography scan, since the titanium staples are easily identified radiologically. As a result, the defect at the circular anastomosis is easily located endoscopically. In addition, the leak is often small. Altogether, these factors favour the use of an EndoVac to treat the leak from a circular stapler. Hence, the authors advocate doing the circular stapled end-to-side esophago-gastric anastomosis, which is covered with an omental patch under a pleural tent.","PeriodicalId":72217,"journal":{"name":"Annals of esophagus","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49568506","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}
