- Laparoscopic Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer after Neoadjuvant Treatment: Targeting Sphincter-Preserving Surgery(2011) ARAUJO, Sergio Eduardo Alonso; SEID, Victor Edmond; BERTONCINI, Alexandre; CAMPOS, Fabio Guilherme; SOUSA JUNIOR, Afonso; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; CECCONELLO, IvanBackground/Aims: Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer is under scrutiny. This study aimed at analyzing feasibility, adequacy of resection, impact on early outcomes after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy, and to investigate trend towards indication of laparoscopy for sphincter-preservation in a single university medical center. Methodology: Patients with distal rectal cancer submitted to neoadjuvant treatment followed by laparoscopic total mesorectal excision were prospectively enrolled. The studied parameters were: demographics, previous surgery, BMI, type of operation, rate of sphincter-preserving surgery, duration of surgery, conversion, specimen retrieval, lymphadenectomy, distal and radial margins, intra and postoperative morbidity, reoperations, hospital stay, and mortality. Results: From January 2000 to July 2010, 68 patients were enrolled. Mean age was 60 (30-87) years. There were 27 anterior and 41 abdominoperineal resections. Six patients underwent a totally laparoscopic resection and coloanal anastomosis. There was a trend (p=0.003) towards more sphincter-preserving surgery. Conversion was 4.5%. Intraoperative complication was 7.4%. Postoperative complications occurred in 15%. Mortality was 3%. Lymph-node harvest was 11 (0-33). Mean distal margin was 2.5cm (1-4). Radial margins were positive in 3 (10%) cases. Conclusions: Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision after neoadjuvant treatment is feasible and safe. Sphincter-preserving laparoscopic oncologic rectal surgery has been accomplished more frequently.
- A novel approach for the treatment of pelvic abscess: transrectal endoscopic drainage facilitated by transanal endoscopic microsurgery access(2012) MARTINS, B. C.; MARQUES, Carlos Frederico Sparapan; NAHAS, Caio Sergio Rizkallah; HONDO, Fabio Yuji; POLLARA, Wilson; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, U.; CECCONELLO, Ivan; MALUF-FILHO, FauzePostoperative pelvic abscesses in patients submitted to colorectal surgery are challenging. The surgical approach may be too risky, and image-guided drainage often is difficult due to the complex anatomy of the pelvis. This article describes novel access for drainage of a pelvic collection using a minimally invasive natural orifice approach. A 37 year-old man presented with sepsis due to a pelvic abscess during the second postoperative week after a Hartmann procedure due to perforated rectal cancer. Percutaneous drainage was determined by computed tomography to be unsuccessful, and another operation was considered to be hazardous. Because the pelvic fluid was very close to the rectal stump, transrectal drainage was planned. The rectal stump was opened using transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) instruments. The endoscope was advanced through the TEM working channel and the rectal stump opening, accessing the abdominal cavity and pelvic collection. The pelvic collection was endoscopically drained and the local cavity washed with saline through the scope channel. A Foley catheter was placed in the rectal stump. The patient's recovery after the procedure was successful, without the need for further intervention. Transrectal endoscopic drainage may be an option for selected cases of pelvic fluid collection in patients submitted to Hartmann's procedure. The technique allows not only fluid drainage but also visualization of the local cavity, cleavage of multiloculated abscesses, and saline irrigation if necessary. The use of TEM instrumentation allows safe access to the peritoneal cavity.
- Surgical Technique and Considerations about Transanal Transection and Single-Stapled (TTSS) Anastomosis: The Search for a Perfect Anastomosis(2021) CAMPOS, Fábio Guilherme; PANDINI, Rafael Vaz; BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, Leonardo Alfonso; NAHAS, Sérgio CarlosAbstract The evaluation of preventivemeasures and risk factors for anastomotic leakage has been a constant concern among colorectal surgeons. In this context, the description of a new way to perform a colorectal, coloanal or ileoanal anastomosis, known as transanal transection and single-stapled (TTSS) anastomosis, deserves an appreciation of its qualities, and a discussion about its properties and technical details. In the present paper, the authors review themost recent efforts aiming to reduce anastomotic dehiscence, and describe the TTSS technique in a patient submitted to laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for familial adenomatous polyposis. Surgical perception raises important advantages such as distal rectal transection under visualization, elimination of double-stapling lines (with cost-effectiveness and potential protection against suture dehiscence), elimination of dog ears, and the opportunity to be accomplished via a transanal approach after open, laparoscopic, or robotic colorectal resections. Future studies to confirm these supposed advantages are needed.
- Validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the pelvic floor bother questionnaire(2019) PETERSON, Thais Villela; PINTO, Rodrigo Ambar; DAVILA, G. Willy; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; HADDAD, Jorge MilhemIntroduction and hypothesisThe Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire (PFBQ) was designed to identify the presence and degree of bother associated with common pelvic floor symptoms. The PFBQ can be used in clinical practice and for research purposes, but it is not available in Brazilian Portuguese. We aimed to validate a cross-culturally adapted Brazilian Portuguese version of the PFBQ.MethodsA pilot-tested version of the PFBQ translated from English was evaluated with Brazilian patients suffering from pelvic floor disorders. Internal reliability, test-retest reliability, validity, and responsiveness to change were assessed.ResultsA total of 147 patients (mean age, 60.49years) were enrolled in the study. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the PFBQ demonstrated good reliability (=0.625; ICC=0.981). There was strong agreement beyond chance for each item (=0.895-1.00). The PFBQ correlated with stage of prolapse (p<0.01), number of urinary (=0.791, p<0.001) and fecal (=0.78, p<0.001) incontinence episodes, and obstructed defecation (=0.875, p<0.001).ConclusionsThe Brazilian Portuguese version of the PFBQ is a reliable, valid, and user-friendly instrument that can be used for assessing the presence and severity of pelvic floor symptoms in clinical and research settings in Brazil.
- Long-term follow up of abdominal rectosigmoidectomy with posterior end-to-side stapled anastomosis for Chagas megacolon(2011) NAHAS, S. C.; PINTO, R. A.; DIAS, A. R.; NAHAS, C. S. R.; ARAUJO, S. E. A.; MARQUES, C. F. S.; CECCONELLO, I.Aim Chagas' disease is an endemic parasitosis found in Latin America. The disease affects different organs, such as heart, oesophagus, colon and rectum. Megacolon is the most frequent long-term complication, caused by damage to the myoenteric and submucous plexus, ultimately leading to a functional barrier to the faeces. Patients with severe constipation are managed surgically. The study aimed to analyse the 10-year minimum functional outcome after rectosigmoidectomy with posterior end-to-side anastomosis (RPESA). Method A total of 21 of 46 patients were available for follow up. Patients underwent clinical, radiological and manometric evaluation, and the results were compared with preoperative parameters. Results Of the 21 patients evaluated, 81% (17) were female, with a mean age of 60.6 years. Good function was achieved in all patients, with significant improvement in defaecatory frequency (P < 0.0001), usage of enemas (P < 0.0001) and patient satisfaction. Barium enema also showed resolution of the colonic and rectal dilatation in 19 cases evaluated postoperatively. Conclusion Minimal 10-year follow up of RPESA showed excellent functional results, with no recurrence of constipation.
- Diagnosis of Clinical Complete Response by Probe-Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) After Chemoradiation for Advanced Rectal Cancer(2021) SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana Vaz; MARQUES, Carlos Frederico Sparapan; PIRES, Clelma; ARRAES, Livia; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; MEIRELLES, Luciana; KAWAGUTI, Fabio Shigehissa; MARTINS, Bruno da Costa; LENZ, Luciano Tolentino; LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; GUSMON-OLIVEIRA, Carla Cristina; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; MALUF-FILHO, Fauze; NAHAS, Sergio CarlosBackground Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRxt) followed by radical surgery is the optimal treatment for advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Patients with clinical complete response (cCR) may be followed closely without immediate surgery. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a real-time in vivo method that allows acquisition of optical biopsies with 1000 times magnification, evaluating both epithelial and vascular patterns. Aim To evaluate the role of pCLE in the diagnosis of cCR after nCRxt for advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Methods pCLE was performed in 47 patients with locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma (T3/T4, or N+) who underwent nCRxt (5-fluorouracil, 5040 cGy). Results Twenty-seven (57.5%) patients were men, and the mean age was 62.8 years. Thirty-seven had partial response confirmed by pCLE. Ten (21.3%) patients had good endoscopic response and presented small ulcer (n = 5) or residual scar (n = 5). After nCRxt, the essential features to differentiate malignancy from post-radiation alterations at pCLE were the presence of irregular crypts, budding, back-to-back glands, cribriform pattern, increased vessel/crypt ratio, and fluorescein leakage. A scoring system was created considering these epithelial and vascular features, with high accuracy for differentiating patients with complete response from those with residual neoplasia (p < 0.00001). pCLE sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 100%, 71.4%, 95.2%, 100%, and 95.7%, respectively. Conclusions (1) pCLE evaluation of epithelial and vascular features may improve the diagnosis of cCR and may alter patient management; (2) pCLE might be valuable for identifying patients with advanced rectal cancer who will benefit from watch and wait strategy, avoiding immediate surgical treatment.
- Magnifying chromoendoscopy is a reliable method in the selection of rectal neoplasms for local excision(2023) KIMURA, C. M. S.; KAWAGUTI, F. S.; HORVAT, N.; NAHAS, C. S. R.; MARQUES, C. F. S.; PINTO, R. A.; REZENDE, D. T. de; SEGATELLI, V.; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, A. V.; JUNIOR, U. R.; MALUF-FILHO, F.; NAHAS, S. C.Purpose Adequate staging of early rectal neoplasms is essential for organ-preserving treatments, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) frequently overestimates the stage of those lesions. We aimed to compare the ability of magnifying chromoendoscopy and MRI to select patients with early rectal neoplasms for local excision. Methods This retrospective study in a tertiary Western cancer center included consecutive patients evaluated by magnifying chromoendoscopy and MRI who underwent en bloc resection of nonpedunculated sessile polyps larger than 20 mm, laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) >= 20 mm, or depressed-type lesions of any size (Paris 0-IIc). Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values of magnifying chromoendoscopy and MRI to determine which lesions were amenable to local excision (i.e., <= T1sm1) were calculated. Results Specificity of magnifying chromoendoscopy was 97.3% (95% CI 92.2-99.4), and accuracy was 92.7% (95% CI 86.7-96.6) for predicting invasion deeper than T1sm1 (not amenable to local excision). MRI had lower specificity (60.5%, 95% CI 43.4-76.0) and lower accuracy (58.3%, 95% CI 43.2-72.4). Magnifying chromoendoscopy incorrectly predicted invasion depth in 10.7% of the cases in which the MRI was correct, while magnifying chromoendoscopy provided a correct diagnosis in 90% of the cases in which the MRI was incorrect (p = 0.001). Overstaging occurred in 33.3% of the cases in which magnifying chromoendoscopy was incorrect and 75% of the cases in which MRI was incorrect. Conclusion Magnifying chromoendoscopy is reliable for predicting invasion depth in early rectal neoplasms and selecting patients for local excision.
- Short-Term Surgical Outcomes of Robotic Gastrectomy Compared to Open Gastrectomy for Patients with Gastric Cancer: a Randomized Trial(2022) RIBEIRO, Ulysses; DIAS, Andre Roncon; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; YAGI, Osmar Kenji; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Jose; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; ABDALLA, Ricardo Zugaib; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; CECCONELLO, IvanBackground Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has been shown to be a safe and feasible method in gastric cancer (GC) treatment. However, most studies are in Eastern cohorts and there is great interest in knowing whether the method can be used routinely, especially in the West. Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the short-term surgical outcomes of D2-gastrectomy by RG versus open gastrectomy (OG). Methods Single-institution, open-label, non-inferiority, randomized clinical trial performed between 2015 and 2020. GC patients were randomized (1:1 allocation) to surgical treatment by RG or OG. Da Vinci Si platform was used. Inclusion criteria: gastric adenocarcinoma, stage cT2-4 cNO-1, potentially curative surgery, age 18-80 years, and ECOG performance status 0-1. Exclusion criteria: emergency surgery and previous gastric or major abdominal surgery. Primary endpoint was short-term surgical outcomes. The study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02292914). Results Of 65 randomized patients, 5 were excluded (3 palliatives, 1 obstruction and emergency surgery, and 1 for material shortage). Consequently, 31 and 29 patients were included for final analysis in the OG and RG groups, respectively. No differences were observed between groups regarding age, sex, BMI, comorbidities, ASA, and frequency of total gastrectomy. RG had similar mean number of harvested lymph nodes (p = 0.805), longer surgical time (p < 0.001), and less bleeding (p <0.001) compared to OG. Postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and readmissions in 30 days were equivalent between OG and RG. Conclusions RG reduces operative bleeding by more than 50%. The short-term outcomes were non-inferior to OG, although surgical time was longer in RG.
- FUNCTIONAL AND ANATOMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ANORECTUM OF FEMALE SCLERODERMA PATIENTS AT A CENTER FOR PELVIC FLOOR DISORDERS(2018) PINTO, Rodrigo Ambar; CORRÊA NETO, Isaac José Felippe; NAHAS, Sérgio Carlos; BUSTAMANTE LOPES, Leonardo Alfonso; SOBRADO JÚNIOR, Carlos Walter; CECCONELLO, IvanABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Scleroderma or progressive systemic sclerosis is characterized by a chronic inflammatory process with proliferation of fibrous connective tissue and excessive deposition of collagen and extracellular matrix in the skin, smooth muscle, and viscera. The smooth muscle most involved in scleroderma is that of the esophagus, and dysphagia is the most commonly reported symptom. However, the internal anal sphincter may also be impaired by degeneration and fibrosis, leading to concomitant anal incontinence in scleroderma patients. These patients may neglect to complain about it, except when actively questioned. OBJECTIVE: To assess anorectal function and anatomy of female scleroderma patients with symptoms of anal incontinence through Cleveland Clinic Florida Fecal Incontinence Score (CCFIS), anorectal manometry and endoanal ultrasound at the outpatient clinic of colorectal and anal physiology, Clinics Hospital, University of São Paulo Medical School (HC-FMUSP). METHODS: Female scleroderma patients were prospectively assessed and questioned as to symptoms of anal incontinence. The anorectal manometry and endoanal ultrasound results were correlated with clinical data and symptoms. RESULTS: In total, 13 women were evaluated. Their mean age was 55.77 years (±16.14; 27-72 years) and their mean disease duration was 10.23 years (±6.23; 2-23 years). All had symptoms of fecal incontinence ranging from 1 to 15. Seven (53.8%) patients had fecal incontinence score no higher than 7; three (23.1%) between 8 and 13; and three (23.1%) 14 or higher, corresponding to mild, moderate, and severe incontinence, respectively. Ten (76.92%) patients had hypotonia of the internal anal sphincter. Three-dimensional endoanal ultrasound showed tapering associated with muscle atrophy of the internal sphincter in six cases and previous muscle defects in three cases. CONCLUSION: A functional and anatomical impairment of the sphincter is an important factor to assess in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis and it should not be underestimated.
- Common variable immunodeficiency: an important but little-known risk factor for gastric cancer(2021) KREIN, PAULA; YOGOLARE, GUSTAVO GONÇALVES; PEREIRA, MARINA ALESSANDRA; GRECCO, OCTAVIO; BARROS, MYRTHES ANNA MARAGNA TOLEDO; DIAS, ANDRE RONCON; MARINHO, ANA KAROLINA BARRETO BERSELLI; ZILBERSTEIN, BRUNO; KOKRON, CRISTINA MARIA; RIBEIRO-JÚNIOR, ULYSSES; KALIL, JORGE; NAHAS, SERGIO CARLOS; RAMOS, MARCUS FERNANDO KODAMA PERTILLEABSTRACT Introduction: although it is a rare disease, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) stands out as the most frequent primary symptomatic immunodeficiency. Carriers are prone to a variety of recurrent bacterial infections, in addition to the risk of developing autoimmune diseases and neoplasms including gastric cancer (GC). Despite the recognized risk, there are no specific standardized protocols for the management of GC in these patients, so the reported oncological results are varied. Thus, this study aims to describe the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with CVID undergoing surgical treatment of GC. Methods: all patients with GC undergoing surgical treatment between 2009 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Later, patients diagnosed with CVID were identified and this group was compared with the remaining patients without any immunodeficiency. Results: among the 1101 patients with GC evaluated in the period, 10 had some type of immunodeficiency, and 5 were diagnosed with CVID. Patients with CVID had younger age, lower BMI, and smaller lesions compared to those without CVID. Four patients underwent curative gastrectomy and one patient underwent jejunostomy. Two patients died (1 palliative and 1 curative) and one patient had disease recurrence. There was no statistically significant difference regarding the incidence of postoperative complications and survival between the evaluated groups. Conclusion: the CVID incidence in patients with GC undergoing surgical treatment was 0.5%, occurring at a less advanced age, but with no difference regarding surgical and oncological results.
