Decompression modalities, including the self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) and tube drainage (TD), have been used to improve surgical outcomes. However, there have been limited studies comparing the 2 modalities. We performed a meta-analysis on short- and long-term outcomes between SEMS and TD.Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched. Data were pooled, and the overall effect size was calculated using random effect models. Outcome measures were perioperative short-term and 3-year survival outcomes.Results: We included 20 nonrandomized studies that examined 2,047 patients in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed SEMS had better short-term outcomes in clinical success rate, decompression-related complications, laparoscopic surgery rate, stoma formation rate, and postoperative complication rate with a relative risk (RR) of 0.36 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24-0.54; I2 = 20%), 0.32 (95% CI, 0.20-0.50; I2 = 0%), 0.47 (95% CI, 0.34-0.66; I2 = 87%), 0.34 (95% CI, 0.24-0.49; I2 = 52%), and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.54-0.89, I2 = 28%), respectively. However, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in 3-year overall survival (RR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.77-1.27; I2 = 0%).Conclusion: Although the long-term oncologic impact of SEMS is still unclear compared with TD, the results of this meta-analysis may suggest that SEMS insertion can be performed more successfully and safely and may have benefits for short-term perioperative outcomes compared with TD. Further studies are warranted to provide more definitive survival results.","PeriodicalId":8071,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research","volume":"106 2","pages":"93-105"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10838655/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139691059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall graft survival rate was 81.5% with a median survival duration of 57 months. Patient survival was 83.8%, with a median survival duration of 61 months.

Among Seoul residents who underwent KTs in the city, the graft survival rate was 90.5%. Importantly, hospital location did not significantly affect graft survival rates (P = 0.136).Conclusion: This study revealed a regional preference for KT in South Korea, particularly in the capital city, likely because of nonresidents.

Nevertheless, the benefits of ICA have mainly been evaluated in nonrandomized studies. Owing to the recent update of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) of right hemicolectomy (RHC), the need to measure the actual effect by synthesizing the outcomes of these studies has emerged.Methods: We performed a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases (from inception to January 30, 2023) for studies that applied ICA and ECA for RHC with MIS. We included 7 RCTs. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, conversion rate, length of incision, and postoperative outcomes such as ileus, anastomosis leakage, length of hospitalization, and postoperative pain were compared between ICA and ECA.Results: A total of 740 patients were included in the study. Among them, 377 and 373 underwent ICA and ECA, respectively. There were significant differences in age (P = 0.003) and incision type (P < 0.001) between ICA and ECA. ICA was associated with a significantly longer operation time (P = 0.033). Although the postoperative pain associated with ICA was significantly lower than that associated with ECA on postoperative day 2 (POD 2) (P = 0.003), it was not different on POD 3 between the groups.

Safety and survival were evaluated using primary outcomes such as 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates, and 30-day mortality and morbidity. A subgroup meta-analysis was conducted to compare survival rates post-synchronous resection and resection post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy in LOPDA.Results: Our analysis of 15 studies involving 1,818 patients (surgical group, 648 and nonsurgical group, 1,170) indicates that radical hepatectomy for LOPDA notably improved 1-year (odds ratio [OR], 3.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.45-4.28; P < 0.001), 3-year (OR, 5.74; 95% CI, 3.36-8.90; P < 0.001), and 5-year (OR, 4.89; 95% CI, 2.56-9.35; P < 0.001) overall survival (OS) rates. A separate analysis of 6 studies with 750 patients demonstrated the safety of LOPDA surgery, with no increase in postoperative complications (P = 0.26 for overall morbidity and P = 0.99 for mortality) compared to the patients with no metastatic disease from the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (NMPDA) group. The NMPDA group showed superior 1-year and 3-year OS rates, but not 5-year OS rates compared to the LOPDA group.Conclusion: Surgical treatment apparently offers a survival advantage to LOPDA by comparing with nonsurgical groups in 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates.

Although pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is a difficult anastomosis that requires repeated practice, there are obstacles preventing its practice that concerns patient safety and limited time in the actual operating room. This study evaluated the efficacy of simulation-based training of robotic duct-to-mucosa PJ using pancreatic and intestinal silicone models using a scoring system.Methods: Three pancreatobiliary clinical fellows who had never performed a real robotic PJ participated in this study. Each trainee, who was well acquainted with master's video created by a senor surgeon, performed the robotic PJ procedures 9 times, and 3 independent pancreatobiliary surgeons assessed the videos and analyzed the scores using a blind method.Results: The mean robotic PJ times for the 3 trainees were 42.8 and 29.1 minutes for the first and 9th videos, respectively. The mean score was 13.8 (range, 6-17) for the first video and 17.7 (range, 15-19) for the 9th video. When comparing earlier and later attempts, the PJ time decreased significantly (2,201.67 seconds vs. 2,045.50 seconds, P = 0.007), whereas test scores increased significantly (total score 14.22 vs. 16.89, P = 0.011).Conclusion: This robotic education system will help pancreatobiliary trainees overcome the learning curves efficiently and quickly without raising ethical concerns associated with animal models or direct practice with human subjects.

It is also the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women older than 64 years. This study assessed the National Cancer Screening Program for colorectal cancer and examined its efficacy in enhancing public health. The fecal occult blood test (FOBT), a traditional noninvasive colorectal cancer screening test that can be performed on an outpatient basis was replaced with the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) because of the latter's better predictive value. Since 2004, the Government of South Korea has recommended an annual FIT for people aged 50 years and older as the first step in colorectal cancer screening. Individuals who test positive on the FIT are scheduled for follow-up screening procedures, such as colonoscopy or double-contrast barium enema, whereas those who have a negative FOBT are not recommended for colonoscopy. Colonoscopy, as a screening tool in Korea, has definite merits because it is highly accessible to patients and is performed by qualified specialists. Although the domestic colorectal cancer screening rate is relatively stable, there is scope for improvement. Owing to the low cost of colonoscopy and the wealth of skilled endoscopy specialists, the number of intention-to-screen procedures for colonoscopy has increased. As Korea is rapidly becoming an ultra-elderly society, it is time to reconsider the revision of the classical screening program and recommend region-specific, cost-effective guidelines.","PeriodicalId":8071,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research","volume":"180 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138681312","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}
