Background: Localized gastric cancer is treated mainly via surgery. Among recent advances in surgical treatments, minimally invasive gastrectomies have become standard treatment for early gastric cancer and are becoming a safe option for advanced gastric cancers. However, most studies on laparoscopic gastrectomies for locally advanced gastric cancer have been performed in patients undergoing primary surgery. In Western countries, most patients with locally advanced gastric cancer undergo preoperative chemotherapy. However, concerns remain regarding the indications for minimally invasive gastrectomies in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, treated with preoperative chemotherapy. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the electronic medical databases to identify all relevant publications on minimally invasive gastrectomy. Eight papers were analyzed. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not adversely influence the results of a minimally invasive gastrectomy, and minimally invasive surgery, even after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, may facilitate postoperative chemotherapy in terms of timing and number of completed chemotherapeutic cycles.","PeriodicalId":8024,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47610509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was a revolution in the surgical treatment of stomach cancer with the following rationale: to provide better quality of life, less pain in the postoperative period, less blood loss, earlier recovery and shorter hospital stay, all with equal surgical quality (1). Over the last 30 years with the development of equipment and improvement in optical systems, there has been a great advance in studies that confirmed technical safety and good oncological results (2). Although the first patients were operated on in the early 1990s, it was only between 2000 and 2010 that the most consistent studies appeared, first reporting on the effectiveness of the technique and later, showing encouraging oncological results.

Surgical management of patients with hiatal hernias remains a challenge given the lack of general consensus on management and operative technique. This has led to gaps in quality and outcomes of care in these patients. Variable levels of knowledge, experience, and expertise among practitioners has resulted in extreme deviations in preoperative evaluation, procedural technique, follow-up, and outcomes, that led to poor confidence in surgical management of GERD and hiatal hernias. We performed a literature review of contemporary and latest studies compiled in review format. The conclusions we made from our review of the literature were that foregut surgeons need to have a comprehensive understanding of foregut physiology and coordinate a thorough preoperative evaluation including independent interpretation of esophageal physiologic testing and the ability to perform endoscopy. Foregut surgeons should have specialized expertise and training in benign foregut procedures, minimally invasive techniques, and have a commitment to long term follow up. Ideally these complex operations would be completed by a minimally invasive trained surgeon at a high-volume center as improved outcomes and decreased costs have been associated with laparoscopic technique and increased surgeon/hospital volume. A multidisciplinary approach should be utilized when feasible.","PeriodicalId":8024,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42927324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was proposed in 1993 as a single weight-loss procedure defined by Johnston, later known as operation Magenstrasse and Mill. In 1999 Gagner was the first to describe laparoscopic SG technique. Therefore SG became popular and one of the most common bariatric surgery procedure in the world. The method has many technical differences. Unfortunately, there is still no strict standardization of the method. With the development of technology, robotic surgery has taken its place in bariatric surgery field. A lot of new studies on robotic SG (RSG) have recently been published. Also there are several technical conflict, such as distance from the pylorus, resection of greater curvature, size of the antrum, use of bougie, fundus resection, whether or not reinforce the staple line, identification and repair of the hiatus. There are also some contraindications for SG. Barrett’s esophagus is a one of them. These variations in the technique affect the complications and effectiveness of surgery. In this study, we aimed to discuss the development and modifications of SG steps of with the current literature review.","PeriodicalId":8024,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21037/ALES-20-30","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42837924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is known that meal pattern of individuals is important in body weight control. With this perspective, we aimed to determine the correlation between the number of meals and body mass index (BMI) of the patients evaluated before laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: Between 2018–2019, 22 patients who were admitted for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were reviewed retrospectively. Twenty-four-hour food consumption of each patient was recorded. They were divided into 2 groups as those who had less than 3 meals and those who had 3 or more meals. Height measurements and detailed body analysis of both groups were performed. The height (cm) and weight (kg) data and the BMI were calculated. BMI = (Body weight (kg) / Height (m)) formula was used. Results: It was observed that of the 22 patients, 40.91% (n=9) had less than 3 meals, while 59.09% (n=13) had 3 or more meals. The average BMI of those having less than 3 meals was 39.97 kg/m (n=9, min =34.6 kg/m, max =47.2 kg/m). The average BMI of individuals who had 3 or more meals was 42.43 kg/m (n=13, min =35.3 kg/m, max =62.4 kg/m). BMI values being lower in individuals who had less than 3 meals is found to be statistically (P<0.001) significant. Conclusions: When the patients in our study group were evaluated, it was observed that individuals who had less than 3 meals had lower BMI values than those who had 3 or more meals. Further studies should be conducted to demonstrate this relationship by examining food patterns and calorie intake per meal in broader patient groups.","PeriodicalId":8024,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68295010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
