Assessing The Safety of Laparoscopic Surgery in Treating of Adenocarcinoma Endometrial Cancer

In recent years, there has been a growing preference for laparoscopic surgery. Insufficient data exists on the safety of laparoscopy in endometrial cancer. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the perioperative and oncologic results of laparoscopic and laparotomic. staging surgery in patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma endometrial cancer. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery in this specific patient group. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 250 patients who had surgical staging for adenocarcinoma endometrial cancer at the gynecologic oncology department of a government hospital from 2018 to 2023. A comparison was made between the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups in terms of demographic, histopathologic, perioperative, and oncologic parameters. An additional assessment was conducted on a subset of individuals who had a body mass index greater than 30. The demographic and histopathologic parameters of the two groups were comparable, however laparoscopic surgery demonstrated a much higher level of effectiveness in terms of perioperative outcomes. The laparotomy group had a much greater number of excised and metastatic lymph nodes. However, this difference did not have an impact on the oncologic outcomes, such as recurrence and survival rates. Both groups had similar results in this regard. The results of the subgroup with a BMI more than 30 were consistent with those of the entire population. The intraoperative problems encountered during the laparoscopic procedure were effectively resolved. Laparoscopic surgery is considered superior to laparotomy and, depending on the surgeon's expertise, it can be safely used for surgical staging of adenocarcinoma endometrial cancer.

Can Laparoscopic Surgery Reduce Fatigue in Women with Endometriosis?-A Pilot Study.

Background: Fatigue is mentioned as one of the most significant symptoms of endometriosis. The impact of laparoscopic endometriosis surgeries on fatigue remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time, the effect of laparoscopic surgery in endometriosis patients, with the complete removal of endometriotic lesions, on the severity of fatigue. Methods: This is a single-center prospective pilot study including 58 participants. Participants were recruited at the Tertiary Endometriosis Referral Center of the Medical University of Vienna between February 2020 and November 2021. Thirty patients with histologically proven endometriosis were compared to a control group of 28 patients who underwent a laparoscopy for benign gynecologic conditions other than endometriosis. All participants were interviewed using the Fatigue Severity Scale before their surgery and 6 months afterward. Relationships between variables were established using regression analysis and associations were quantified as odds ratios. Results: Fatigue was significantly more severe preoperatively in patients with endometriosis when compared to controls ((odds ratio (OR): 1.82; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24-2.67, p < 0.01). Six months postoperatively, the fatigue severity score of endometriosis patients decreased significantly (p < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, fatigue was significantly associated with endometriosis (OR: 4.50, CI: 1.14-17.8, p < 0.05), when adjusted for abdominal pain and menstrual bleeding. Fatigue in patients with endometriosis was not associated with disease stage or the presence of deep endometriosis. Conclusions: Fatigue is a frequent and bothersome symptom in patients with endometriosis. Within our study, we demonstrated for the first time that fatigue responds to surgical treatment. The management of fatigue is crucial to improving patients' quality of life.

The association between surgical site infection and postoperative colorectal cancer recurrence and the effect of laparoscopic surgery on prognosis.

Studies have shown that surgical site infection (SSI) incidence is lower in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, we reported the SSI countermeasures adopted by our institution and aimed to evaluate the association between SSI occurrence and postoperative colorectal cancer recurrence and the usefulness of laparoscopic surgery for prognosis. Among the patients with colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2017, 197 with stage I-III cancer without distant metastases were included. We retrospectively analyzed patients' electronic medical records and classified them into the non-SSI (without SSI, n = 159) and SSI (with SSI, n = 38) groups. We calculated and compared the 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. Additionally, we assessed the relationship between prognosis in the non-SSI, incisional SSI, and organ/space SSI groups and the usefulness of laparoscopic surgery. The 5-year RFS and OS were 80.5% versus 63.2% (P = 0.024; hazard ratio [HR], 2.065; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.099-3.883) and 88.7% versus 84.2% (P = 0.443; HR, 1.436; 95% CI, 0.570-3.617), respectively. The SSI group had a significantly worse 5-year RFS prognosis. Regarding the relationship with laparoscopic surgery, the SSI incidence was 45.0% (9/20 cases) and 16.4% (29/177 cases) with laparotomy and laparoscopic surgery, respectively, indicating a significantly reduced SSI occurrence with laparoscopic surgery (P = 0.005). Patients with SSI were at high risk for colorectal cancer recurrence, and laparoscopic surgery may be useful for reducing SSI.

Postoperative benefit of abdominal interventions in children performed by laparoscopic sugery compared with conventinal surgery

Objective: To compare the postoperative benefits of abdominal interventions in children performed by laparoscopic and open surgery. Method: This is an integrative Literature Review carried out in the LILACS and MEDLINE databases in the Virtual Health Library using the descriptors laparoscopy, “open surgery” and children, associated with the Boolean operator AND and obtaining 30 articles. Results: The sample consisted of 18 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, in which there was a predominance of articles that evaluated the postoperative result and the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery, most of which were published in the year 2021. Discussion: The study covers the pre- and intraoperative characteristics of children in the decision of the surgical method, in addition to the construction of the results of the laparoscopic method and its comparison with the conventional approach, regarding the postoperative period of abdominal surgeries in pediatric patients. Conclusion: It was evidenced that the laparoscopic method presents a better visualization of the procedure, less postoperative complications, shorter hospitalization time, less pain and better aesthetic result.

Impact of laparoscopic surgery on short-term and long-term outcomes in elderly obese patients with colon cancer.

Laparoscopic surgery is reported to be useful in obese or elderly patients with colon cancer, who are at increased risk of postoperative complications because of comorbidities and physical decline. However, its usefulness is less clear in patients who are both elderly and obese and may be at high risk of complications. Data for obese patients (body mass index ≥25) who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery for stage II or III colon cancer between January 2009 and December 2013 were collected by the Japan Society of Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery. Surgical outcomes, postoperative complications, and relapse-free survival (RFS) were compared between patients who underwent open surgery and those who underwent laparoscopic surgery according to whether they were elderly (≥70 y) or nonelderly (<70 y). Data of 1549 patients (elderly, n = 598; nonelderly, n = 951) satisfied the selection criteria for analysis. Length of stay was shorter and surgical wound infection was less common in elderly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery than in those underwent open surgery. There were no significant between-group differences in overall complications, anastomotic leakage, ileus/small bowel obstruction, or RFS. There were also no significant differences in RFS after laparoscopic surgery according to patient age. Laparoscopic surgery is safe in elderly obese patients with colon cancer and does not worsen their prognosis. There was no significant difference in the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery between obese patients who were elderly and those who were nonelderly.

Effect of Laparoscopic Surgery and Conservative Treatment on the Efficacy and Prognosis of Ectopic Pregnancy

Effect of Laparoscopic Surgery and Conservative Treatment on the Efficacy and Prognosis of Ectopic Pregnancy

Prognosis and Efficacy of Laparoscopic Surgery on Patients with Endometrial Carcinoma: Systematic Evaluation and Meta-Analysis.

Objective The prognosis and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery (LPS) and open surgery or robotic surgery (RS) on endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients were compared. Methods Data as of May 2021 were retrieved from databases like PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. The study involved randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, or case-control studies for comparing the effects of LPS and open surgery or robotic surgery (RS) on EC treatment. The primary outcomes included duration of operation, blood loss, length of stay (LOS), postoperative complications, and recurrence rate. Secondary outcomes included 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate/disease-free survival (DFS) rate and 3-year overall survival (OS) rate. Results A total of 24 studies were involved, and all of them were cohort studies except 1 RCT and 1 case-control study. There was no significant difference in duration of operation between LPS and open surgery (MD = −0.06, 95% CI: -0.37 to 0.25) or RS (MD = −0.15, 95% CI: -1.27 to 0.96). In comparison with the open surgery, LPS remarkably reduced blood loss (MD = −0.43, 95% CI: -0.58 to -0.29), LOS (MD = −0.71, 95% CI: -0.92 to -0.50), and the complication occurrence rate (RR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.73 to 0.95). However, LPS and RS saw no difference in blood loss (MD = 0.01, 95% CI: -0.77 to 0.79). Besides, in comparison with RS, LPS prominently shortened the LOS (MD = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.12 to 0.40) but increased the complication occurrence rate (RR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.57 to 1.92). In contrast to open surgery or RS, LPS saw no difference in occurrence rate (RR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.56 to 1.01; RR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.62 to 1.53), 3-year PFS/DFS (RR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.90 to 1.09; RR = 1.30, 95% CI: 0.87 to 1.96), and 3-year OS (RR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.91 to 1.04; RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.91 to 1.60). Conclusion In sum, LPS was better than open surgery, which manifested in the aspects of less blood loss, shorter LOS, and fewer complications. LPS, therefore, was the most suitable option for EC patients. Nevertheless, LPS had no advantage over RS, and sufficient prospective RCTs are needed to further confirm its strengths.

Comparison of Survival Among Adults With Rectal Cancer Who Have Undergone Laparoscopic vs Open Surgery

Two large randomized clinical trials (RCTs) found that laparoscopic surgery failed to yield noninferior pathologic outcomes compared with open surgery for patients with rectal cancer. The results raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of the laparoscopic approach for patients with rectal cancer. To compare the long-term oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic and open surgery for patients with rectal cancer. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from database inception to August 13, 2021. Studies published in English were retrieved. The meta-analysis included RCTs that compared laparoscopic surgery with open surgery for patients with rectal cancer and reported the outcome of disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS). The following exclusion criteria were used: (1) non-RCTs, (2) studies without long-term survival outcomes of interest, and (3) studies that did not report Kaplan-Meier survival curves. This meta-analysis was performed in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses reporting guideline for individual participant data development groups. Individual participant data on DFS and OS were extracted from the published Kaplan-Meier survival curves. One-stage and 2-stage meta-analyses were performed. Meta-analyses were conducted for DFS and OS. Hazard ratios (HRs) were used as effective measures. Of 8471 records screened, 10 articles with 12 RCTs and 3709 participants were selected. The reconstructed survival curves for the combined population showed that the 5-year estimated DFS rates were 72.2% (95% CI, 69.4%-74.8%) for the laparoscopic group and 70.1% (95% CI, 67.0%-73.0%) for the open surgery group, and the 5-year estimated OS rates were 76.2% (95% CI, 73.8%-78.5%) for the laparoscopic group and 72.7% (95% CI, 69.8%-75.3%) for open surgery group. In 1-stage meta-analyses, DFS had a nonsignificant HR of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.80-1.06; P = .26), which suggested that DFS in the laparoscopic and open surgery groups was comparable; however, OS was significantly better in the laparoscopic group (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74-0.97; P = .02). The results were confirmed by 2-stage meta-analyses and were validated by sensitivity analysis with large RCTs. A similar DFS but significantly better OS were found for patients who have undergone laparoscopic surgery compared with open surgery for rectal cancer. These findings address concerns regarding the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery and support the routine use of laparoscopic surgery for patients with rectal cancer.

Laparoscopic vs open Ladd\u2019s procedure for malrotation in neonates and infants: a propensity score matching analysis

BackgroundLaparoscopic Ladd’s procedure for malrotation in children is still a controversial approach. Although some retrospective studies have compared the outcomes of the two types of procedure with inconsistency outcomes. Currently, there are few large-scale studies on laparoscopic treatment in malrotation with neonates and infants. We did a study based on propensity score matching to compare the effects of the two kinds of approach in neonates and infants. To investigate the therapeutic effect of laparoscopy and open Ladd’s procedure by the propensity score-matching (PSM) to enhance the validity of the comparison.MethodsA total series of 143 cases of intestinal malrotation without intestinal necrosis was included in the study during the 8 years from January 2012 to January 2020, including 68 cases of open Ladd’s procedure and 75 cases of laparoscopic Ladd’s procedure including five cases of transfer laparotomy. By a propensity score 1:1 matching, 62 patients were stratified for each group.Results and conclusionThere was no significant difference in volvulus degree, weight and gender between the two groups (p > 0.05). Laparoscopic surgery took more time than open surgery (105.9 min vs 70.6 min, p < 0.05), but it had less hospital stay (12.4 days vs 14.6 days, p < 0.05) or less incision infection (0 vs 6, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups at the time of first defecation, blood loss, time of full feeding and reoperation (p > 0.05). The cosmetic effect of laparoscopic surgery is better than that of open surgery. Laparoscopic Ladd’s procedure is a safe approach. It can reduce the length of hospital stay and incision infection, but the operation time was extended, the other complications are similar compared with open procedure for intestinal malrotation in neonates and infants.

External endometriosis, effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery

Research progress of sexual dysfunction following rectal cancer surgery

Sexual dysfunction with the incidence of 5%-90% is a common postoperative complication of rectal cancer and the ratio of men and women is similar. Sexual function is innervated by the abdominal-pelvic autonomic nerve. Different sexual dysfunctions can be caused by different parts and degrees of injury in autonomic nerve during operations of rectal cancer. With the development of pelvic autonomic nerves preservation in rectal cancer radical resection, postoperative sexual function can be protected. There may be many factors increasing the incidence of postoperative sexual dysfunction in rectal cancer, such as postoperative psychological factors, stoma, abdominal-perineal resection and radiotherapy. The effects of laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, transanal total mesorectal excision and lateral lymph node dissection on postoperative sexual function remain controversial. Based on the multidisciplinary cooperation model, attention should be paid to psychological intervention of patients and their partners. In clinical practice, for male using phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, vacuum erectile devices, injection of vasodilators through the penis or urethra, and for female local application of estrogen and lubricants in the vagina are effective treatment for postoperative sexual dysfunction of rectal cancer. In addition, stem cell therapy has a promising prospect for sexual dysfunction.

Effect of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer with N. O. S. E. on recovery and prognosis of patients

Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscopic surgery in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) on the recovery and quality of life (QOL) of patients. Material and methods Ninety-two eligible patients were randomly assigned into two groups: the traditional laparoscopy group (L group, n = 46) and the laparoscopic transanal specimen extraction group (NL group, n = 46). General data, surgery-related indicators, postoperative recovery, and prognosis were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results A total of 46 patients in each group were enrolled in this study. The general data and surgery-related indicators were comparable between the two groups (all p > .05). There were no significant differences in the time of first flatus, bleeding, obstruction, constipation, and infectious complications between the two groups (all p > .05). The differences in the incidence of postoperative diarrhea, pain degree, and satisfaction on the aesthetics of the abdominal wall showed significant differences (χ2 = 6.133, p = .013; χ2 = 12.116, p = .017; χ2 = 13.463, p = .004). The postoperative follow-up time was 3–53 months. There were no significant differences in the postoperative hospital stay, medical costs, hospital readmission rate, incidence of incisional hernia, overall survival, disease-free survival, and QOL between the two groups (all p > .05). Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery with NOSE for eligible patients with CRC was a feasible choice.

TUBAL FACTOR INFERTILITY: POSSIBLE OPTIONS OF REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION RESTORATION

Relevance. Despite the assisted reproductive techniques being widely used in modern gynaecology, the challenge of restoring fallopian tube patency in patients with hydrosalpinx, distal tubal occlusion, peritubal and periovarial adhesions remains relevant.Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery in restoring fertility in patients with tubal factor infertility.Materials and methods. We included 99 patients, who underwent laparoscopic surgery for tubal factor infertility. During the follow-up we assessed the rate of spontaneous pregnancy and pregnancy after IVF.Results. Pregnancy occurred in 41 (41.4%) patients with a history of tubal factor infertility. Moreover, after reconstructive plastic surgery on the fallopian tubes out of 66 patients, in 17 cases (25.8%) pregnancy occurred spontaneously. In 33 patients tubectomy was performed due to impossibility of adequate fallopian tube reconstruction. In 24 (24.2%) patients, pregnancy occurred after IVF (after salpingo-ovariolysis or after tubectomy). The frequency of pregnancy after IVF in these patients was 1,5 times higher than in patients that underwent IVF in the same medical institution during the same period (42.5% and 27.8%, respectively).Conclusion. In patients with tubal factor infertility younger than 35 with preserved ovulation and the absence of pathospermia in a partner, laparoscopy is an effective method for restoring patency of the fallopian tubes. If a severe falopian tube lesions are present in patients with infertility, bilateral tubectomy should be considered, since bilateral tubectomy in such patients increases the effectiveness of IVF.

Survival outcomes following laparoscopic vs open surgery for non-metastatic rectal cancer: a two-center cohort study with propensity score matching.

Background:?>Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is commonly performed in China. However, compared with open surgery, the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery, especially the long-term survival, has not been sufficiently proved.Methods:?>Data of eligible patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer at Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine between 2012 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Long-term survival outcomes and short-term surgical safety were analysed with propensity score matching between groups.ResultsOf 430 cases collated from two institutes, 103 matched pairs were analysed after propensity score matching. The estimated blood loss during laparoscopic surgery was significantly less than that during open surgery (P = 0.019) and the operative time and hospital stay were shorter in the laparoscopic group (both P < 0.001). The post-operative complications rate was 9.7% in the laparoscopic group and 10.7% in the open group (P = 0.818). No significant difference was observed between the laparoscopic group and the open group in the 5-year overall survival rate (75.7% vs 80.6%, P = 0.346), 5-year relapse-free survival rate (74.8% vs 76.7%, P = 0.527), or 5-year cancer-specific survival rate (79.6% vs 87.4%, P = 0.219). An elevated carcinoembryonic antigen, <12 harvested lymph nodes, and perineural invasion were independent prognostic factors affecting overall survival and relapse-free survival.Conclusions:?>Our findings suggest that open surgery should still be the priority recommendation, but laparoscopic surgery is also an acceptable treatment for non-metastatic rectal cancer.

Anesthetic efficacy of propofol combined butorphanol in laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy: A protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background:Recent studies have suggested that propofol combined butorphanol (PB) has anesthetic effect in laparoscopic surgery (LS) for ectopic pregnancy (EP). But investigations of its potential effects are inconsistent. We will explore the current literature examining PB in LS for EP.Methods:We will perform a comprehensive search from MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Global Health, Web of Science, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from inception to the present. Other literatures, such as conference abstracts, references to the relevant reviews will also be checked. Two authors will check the titles, abstracts, and full texts independently. They will also independently carry out data collection and study quality assessment. We will conduct statistical analysis using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:This study will provide accurate results on the anesthetic effect and safety of PB in LS for EP.Conclusion:This study will establish high-quality evidence of the anesthetic effect and safety of PB in LS for EP to facilitate the clinical practice and guideline development.Study registration number:INPLASY202040044.

Observation on the clinical effect of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy

Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy and its influence on pregnancy and complications. Methods From January 2014 to January 2018, 130 cases of ectopic pregnancy patients admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Tongxiang were selected.Among them, 93 cases with fertility requirements were selected as the study subjects.According to different surgical method, they were divided into observation group (46 cases) and control group (47 cases). The observation group was treated by laparoscopic surgery, while the control group was treated by open surgery.The operative indicators and complications were compared between the two groups.The pregnancy was followed up at 12 months after operation. Results The bleeding volume in the observation group was (43.24±8.98)mL, which was less than that in the control group[(87.94±15.46)mL], the anal exhaust time[(14.96±3.24)h] and the time of getting out of bed activity[(10.13±2.41)h]in the observation group were shorter than that in the control group[(26.53±2.89)h and (18.65±2.76)h], the hospitalization time[(5.41±1.23)d] and the operation time[(65.89±13.21)min] in the observation group were shorter than that in the control group[(7.87±1.54)d and (81.32±14.25)min], the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=17.002, 18.183, 15.844, 8.501, 5.405, all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group (6.52%) was lower than that in the control group (25.53%) (χ2=6.211, P<0.05). The intrauterine pregnancy rate in the observation group (78.26%) was higher than that in the control group (51.06%) (χ2=7.482, P<0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery is effective in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.It can improve the rate of intrauterine pregnancy, reduce postoperative complications and shorten hospitalization time. Key words: Pregnancy, ectopic; Laparoscopic; Effect; Pregnancy; Complications

Effect of laparoscopic surgery on the risk for surgical site infections in colorectal resection: results from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service Database.

PurposeTo compare the hospital length of stay (LOS), duration of antibiotic use, medical costs, and incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) between laparoscopic colorectal surgery (Lap-CRS) and open CRS (Open-CRS).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed data of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis assessment (7th assessment, 2015); the nationwide data were collected from patients who underwent CRS from September to November 2015 in low volume hospital to the tertiary hospital level in Korea.ResultsAll 2,751 patients who underwent elective CRS were assessed. The mean hospital LOS (12.18 days vs. 14.16 days, P < 0.001) and mean postoperative LOS (8.21 days vs. 9.46 days, P < 0.001) were shorter in the Lap-CRS group than in the Open-CRS group. The mean duration of antibiotic use was shorter in the Lap-CRS group (2.91 days vs. 3.64 days, P = 0.033). The rate of SSI was lower in the Lap-CRS group, but there was no significant difference between the groups (3.57% vs. 5.01%, P = 0.133). Among the SSI group, the mean LOS (19.5 days vs. 24.9 days, P = 0.081), duration of antibiotic use (12.62 days vs. 15.46 days, P = 0.097), and medical costs showed no significant difference between the 2 groups.ConclusionLap-CRS is significantly associated with reduced hospital LOS and the duration of antibiotic use in this study. However, we could not identify significant differences in the incidence of SSI according to the type of surgery. To assess the overall benefits of Lap-CRS, studies including the rate of SSI up to 30 days postoperatively will be needed in the future.
