Abstract

Laparoscopic fundoplication is as effective as its open counterpart, allowing reduced morbidity, shorter hospital stay and recovery, lower consumption of analgesics, and very low mortality, with no significant differences in early functional outcome. Rate of early recurrence is similar after partial and total fundoplication, but but the partial approach has a significantly reduced rate of reoperation for failure, mainly due to postoperative dysphagia. Long-term follow-up is required to evaluate dysphagia and quality-of-life.

Palifermin improves severe mucositis, swallowing problems, nutrition impact symptoms, and length of stay in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

GOAL OF WORK: The aim of this study was to compare palifermin, a recombinant form of human keratinocyte growth factor, with standard treatment on outcomes in patients receiving a high dose of chemotherapy conditioning regimen, undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Over a 1-year period, a series of 59 patients were included: 32 patients (palifermin) were compared with 27 patients (standard treatment). Outcomes assessed at day 8 posttransplantation were mucositis, swallowing, nutrition impact symptoms, dietary intake, time to engraftment, length of stay, infection, and cumulative dose and duration of narcotic administration. MAIN RESULTS: There was a significant reduction in the incidence of severe oral mucositis (13 vs 48%, p=0.003), swallowing problems (p=0.044), number of nutrition impact symptoms experienced (4.9 vs 6.0, p=0.003), and length of stay (14 vs 18 days, p=0.026) in the palifermin group compared to standard care. There was no significant difference in infection, dietary intake, time to engraftment or cumulative dose and duration of narcotic administration between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Beneficial outcomes were observed from the use of palifermin in patients undergoing HSCT after a high dose of chemotherapy conditioning regimen. A randomized clinical trial is needed to confirm these results.

Lessons learned from laparoscopic treatment of gastric and gastroesophageal junction stromal cell tumors.

BACKGROUND: Stromal cell tumors of the gastric and gastroesophageal junction are rare neoplasms that traditionally have been resected for negative margins using an open approach. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy laparoscopic resection of gastric and gastroesophageal stromal cell tumors and the lessons learned from experience with this method. METHODS: This retrospective review evaluated all patients who underwent laparoscopic resection of gastric or esophageal stromal cell tumors at a tertiary referral center between December 2002 and March 2005. Medical records were reviewed with regard to patient demographics, preoperative evaluation, operative approach, tumor location and pathology, length of operation, complications, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: A total of 12 consecutive patients with a mean age of 55 +/- 5.9 years were treated. Preoperative endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was performed for 11 of 12 patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 100%, whereas EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration was performed for 10 of 12 patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 50%. Four patients with symptomatic gastroesophageal junction leiomyomas were treated with enucleation and Nissen fundoplication. Eight patients were treated with laparoscopic wedge resection of gastric lesions. Complete R0 resection was achieved for all the patients undergoing laparoscopic resection. Intraoperative endoscopy was performed for four patients and resulted in shorter operative times. The average operative time for this entire series was 169 +/- 17 min: 199 +/- 24 min for the first six cases and 138 +/- 19 min for the last six cases. The median hospital length of stay was 2 days. One patient with esophageal leiomyoma had persistent dysphagia at the 12-month follow-up assessment. There were no other complications and no deaths in this series of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic resection of gastric and gastroesophageal junction stromal cell tumors may be performed safely with low patient morbidity. This approach can achieve adequate surgical margins and lead to short hospital stays. Improvements in the technique have led to shorter operative times.
