Anastomotic insufficiency is the most threatening surgical complication. We present the protective method of pre-emptive active reflux drainage (PARD) with simultaneous enteral feeding. We report our experience with this new safety concept in esophageal surgery in a cohort of 43 patients.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>For PARD we use a double lumen open porous film drainage (dOFD). To create the dOFD, the gastric tube of a Trelumina probe (Freka®Trelumina, Fresenius) is coated with a double-layered open-pore drainage film (Suprasorb®CNP drainage film, Lohmann & Rauscher) over a length of 25 cm. The dOFD is endoscopically inserted into the tubular stomach intraoperatively after completion of the anastomosis. Continuous negative pressure is applied with an electronic pump (-125 mm Hg). The PR is continuously aspirated completely and the stomach and anastomotic region are decompressed. At the same time, nutrition is delivered via an integrated intestinal tube. Depending on the results of the endoscopic control after 5 days, PARD is either continued or terminated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>During the observation period (2017-2023), PARD was used in all patients (n = 43) with ILE. The healing rate under PARD was 100% and healing was observed in all anastomoses. No additional endoscopic procedures or surgical revisions of the anastomoses were required. The median duration of PARD was 8 days (range 4-21). We observed problems in the healing of the anastomosis in 20 of 43 patients (47%) for whom we defined endoscopic criteria for at-risk anastomosis.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our results suggest that PARD has a strong protective effect on anastomotic healing and may reduce the risk of anastomotic insufficiency. The integrated feeding tube of the dOFD allows early postoperative enteral feeding while simultaneously applying negative pressure. PARD appears to prevent the negative consequences of impaired anastomotic healing.</p>","PeriodicalId":72588,"journal":{"name":"Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"48-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11729085/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138813439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment of preterm infants (< 37th week of pregnancy) and especially extremely premature infants (< 28th week of pregnancy) is challenging due to immature organ development, which differs considerably from that of other age groups. While the fate of premature infants and especially extremely premature infants was unfavorable 100 years ago, the survival of premature infants > 1000 g has now shifted to survival in over 80% of cases [30]. The main medical problem areas of immature patients are a fetal proinflammatory immune system, an immature gastrointestinal tract with reduced transport capability, an incompletely developed intestinal barrier and a developing intestinal flora (microbiome) as well as immature lungs, which was significantly limiting for the survival of premature infants before the development of synthetic pulmonary surfactants. Furthermore, the central nervous system (CNS), which is far from being fully developed in preterm infants, is particularly vulnerable to exogenous factors, such as inflammation, toxins and medications. In addition, the CNS requires an environment appropriate to the developmental stage of the neonate to ensure normal physiological psychomotor development in the future. The article presents the special aspects of surgery on premature infants, the indications, complications and outcome, taking the special general problems of prematurity into account.
