Antegrade interventional approach for minimally invasive procedures is technically feasible, has the same effectiveness as the retrograde endoscopic method and also all advantages of minimally invasive techniques.
Aim. To identify a perspectives for using a single incision laparoscopic technologies in surgery.Materials and methods: Today we have a several questions relating to a single incision laparoscopic surgery such as the possible spectrum of their application, safety and economic efficiency. The main is: does this technologies have a perspectives in future.In paper was performed a retro and prospective analysis of the data of modern literature and authors own experience in surgical treatment using a single incision laparoscopic technologies.Results: The study included 74 patients who underwent: cholecystectomy – 64 (86,5%), nephrectomy – 4 (5,4%), ovarian cyst removal – 4 (5,4%), kidney resection – 2 (2,7 %), using various kind of ports: “X-Cone Karl Storz” (28), “Covidien” (18), “PPP” (7), and 21 cases of multi-trocar access.Conclusions: Our opinion that the perspectives for the development of single incision laparoscopy, is the further development of endoscopic devices, including robotic ones, and we believe that it will be a real future and endoscopic surgeons should be ready for this.
Background: KRAS mutations influence survival after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). However, their prognostic significance has never been evaluated in patients who undergo Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein occlusion for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). Methods: Between June 2011 and March 2016, twenty-six patients underwent ALPPS for CRLM. Complications were classified according to the Dindo-Clavien classification. Biand multivariate cox analyses were performed to evaluate variables potentially associated with survival. Results: Overall, morbidity grade !3a and 90-day mortality were 38.5% and 0%, respectively. Median follow-up from the time of discharge was 21.5 months (IQR 9.6-35.6). One and 3-years overall survival (OS) was 83.4 and 48.9 %, respectively. Patients with mutated KRAS had a median OS of 15.3 months versus 38.3 months for those with wild-type KRAS (p<0.0001). Median disease-free survival was 7.9 months, 5.6 versus 12.3 months for mutated and wild-type KRAS, respectively (p=0.023). KRAS mutation was found to be an independent risk factor for OS (HR 7.15, 95% CI 1.50-34.11;p=0.014). Conclusion: KRAS mutation is an independent predictor of poor survival after ALPPS. This finding will help to optimize patient selection, both avoiding futile surgical indication and maximizing the benefit for patients with extensive disease who are subjected to high-risk aggressive surgery.
Aim. To improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with cholelithiasis complicated by cholangiolithiasis and obstructive jaundice, using percutaneous technologies.Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 50 patients with cholelithiasis complicated by cholangiolithiasis and obstructive jaundice, which was not possible to use the endoscopic retrograde method of treatment was analyzed. Two representative clinical groups were formed according to the para-copy method: patients of the 1st group used the percutaneous method of treatment of cholangiolithiasis, patients of the 2nd group used the rendezvous technique.Results. The duration of the operation in the first clinical group was 85.60 ± 8.50 minutes, in the second – 64.80 ± 6.41 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss in both groups is minimal. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was: in the first group – 12.10 ± 1.25 days, in the second – 12.00 ± 1.25 days. In the first clinical group, the complication rate is 12%, in the second – 16%. No deaths were observed. The use of percutaneous laser lithotripsy allowed us to achieve the effectiveness of treatment of cholangiolithiasis in all patients in both clinical groups. The average consumption of a contrast agent per patient in the first group is 250.00 ml ± 25.00 ml, in the second – 370.00 ml ± 35.00 ml. Repeated debridement interventions in the first group were required by 2 (8%) patients, in the second – 8 (32%) patients.Conclusion. The frequency of complications, the duration of hospital stay and the effectiveness of treatment are comparable in both groups. If there is percutaneous access, hardware, instrumental and personnel support for percutaneous lithoextraction, there is no need to switch to a retrograde method for resolving cholangiolithiasis. The percutaneous method is an alternative minimally invasive method for treating patients with cholangiolithiasis and obstructive jaundice, which is impossible to perform “traditional” interventions or is associated with a high risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
