- 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.

C.- Outcomes of surgical treatment for patients with distal rectal cancer: A retrospective review from a single university hospital(2020) NAHAS, S. C.; NAHAS, C. S. R.; BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, L. A.; PINTO, R. A.; MARQUES, C. F. S.; CECCONELLO, I.introduction and aim: Surgery for distal rectal cancer (DRC) can be performed with or without sphincter preservation. The aim of the present study was to analyze the outcomes of two surgical techniques in the treatment of DRC patients: low anterior resection (LAR) and abdominoperineal resection (APR). Methods: Patients with advanced DRC that underwent surgical treatment between 2002 and 2012 were evaluated. We compared the outcomes of the type of surgery (APR vs LAR) and analyzed the associations of survival and recurrence with the following factors: age, sex, tumor location, lymph nodes obtained, lymph node involvement, and rectal wall involvement. Patients with distant metastases were excluded. Results: A total of 148 patients were included, 78 of whom were females (52.7%). The mean patient age was 61.2 years. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy was performed in 86.5% of the patients. APR was performed on 86 (58.1%) patients, and LAR on 62 (41.9%) patients. No differences were observed between the two groups regarding clinical and oncologic characteristics. Eighty-seven (62%) patients had pT3-4 disease, and 41 patients (27.7%) had lymph node involvement. In the multivariate analysis, only poorly differentiated tumors (P=.026) and APR (P=.009) correlated with higher recurrence rates. Mean follow-up time was 32 (16-59.9) months. Overall 5 -year survival was 58.1%. The 5 -year survival rate was worse in patients that underwent APR (46.5%) than in the patients that underwent LAR (74.2%) (P=.009). Conclusions: Patients with locally advanced DRC that underwent APR presented with a lower survival rate and a higher local recurrence rate than patients that underwent LAR. In addition, advanced T/stage, lymph node involvement, and poor tumor differentiation were associated with recurrence and a lower survival rate, regardless of the procedure. 2020 Asociacion Mexicana de Gastroenterologia.
- 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.
conferenceObject LAPAROSCOPIC RIGHT COLECTOMY WITH EXTRACORPOREAL ANASTOMOSIS HAS HIGHER MORBIDITY COMPARED TO INTRACORPOREAL ANASTOMOSIS?(2017) PINTO, R.; GERBASI, L.; CAMARGO, M.; KIMURA, C.; SOARES, D.; BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, L.; NAHAS, C.; CAMPOS, F.; CECCONELLO, I.; NAHAS, S.- Understanding the factors associated with reduction in the number of lymph nodes in rectal cancer patients treated by neoadjuvant treatment(2017) BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, L.; NAHAS, C. S.; NAHAS, S. C.; RIBEIRO JR., U.; MARQUES, C. F.; COTTI, G.; ROCCO, A.; CECCONELLO, I.Introduction Rectal cancer patients frequently present with locally advanced disease for which the standard of care includes neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision. Positive lymph nodes are one of the most powerful risk factors for recurrence and survival in colorectal cancer. In the absence of specific rectal guidelines, the literature recommends to the pathologist to optimize the number of rectal lymph nodes (LN) retrieved. We made a literature review in order to identify factors that could potentially affect the number of LN retrieved in specimens of patients with rectal cancer treated by chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME). Results Age did not have a significant effect on LN yield. The effect of sex on LN number is not consistent in the literature. Most of the papers did not find a relationship between lower LN obtained and gender. Laparoscopy for primary rectal cancer is associated with a greater number of LN as well as shortterm benefits. Tumors in the upper rectum are associated with a higher number of LN than those in the mid and lower rectum. The type of surgery had no effect on lymph node yield either. Tumors with complete or almost complete pathologic regression were exactly the ones with lower number of lymph nodes detected. Approximately one-third of patients with neoadjuvant treatment had less than 12 LN yield. Conclusion The tumor regression grade is the most important factor for the decrease in the number of lymph nodes.
- Peritoneal Lavage in Complicated Acute Diverticulitis Back to the Future(2016) G, Ricardo Escalante; BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, Leonardo; LIZCANO, Ana; M, Bernardo AcostaPurpose: The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic lavage in patients with acute diverticulitis. Background: In recent times, laparoscopic peritoneal lavage has been considered a therapeutic alternative to standard resection procedures. In Hinchey III diverticulitis there is the possibility of avoiding ostomies or resection procedures. Study: This retrospective study was conducted in a single-care institution. Results: Patients requiring emergency surgery for perforated diverticulitis and generalized peritonitis between March 2011 and May 2014 were identified from a prospective database. Seventy-two patients underwent surgery for diverticulitis. Forty-three patients presented with generalized peritonitis (Hinchey III) and 29 with gross fecal contamination (Hinchey IV). From the Hinchey III group, 17 patients (39.5%), with a median age of 56.8 years, were selected to undergo peritoneal lavage. Postoperative length of stay was 4.2 days, the rate of minor complications was 35%, that of major complications was 0%, and mortality rate was 0%. Over a median follow-up of 24.6 months none required reoperation. Conclusions: The number of patients selected for laparoscopic lavage in the management of perforated diverticulitis is increasing as it provides an alternative to Hartmann's procedure in emergency cases. This approach should be considered suitable for patients without important comorbidities, and only in centers experienced in laparoscopic surgery. It reduces the length of hospital stay. Morbidity and mortality are lower than in those in whom resection was considered necessary. Longer follow-up and results of other trials will be necessary to draw an adequate conclusion.
article 1 Citação(ões) na Scopus T <= 2N0 TRG1-2 in Post-Chemoradiation Therapy MRI: What can it Predict?(2019) NAHAS, Caio Sergio Rizkallah; NAHAS, Sergio Carlos; BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, Leonardo; SPARAPAN, Carlos Marques Frederico; ORTEGA, Cinthia; AZAMBUJA, Rodrigo; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; COTTI, Guilherme Cutait; IMPERIALE, Antonio Rocco; CECCONELLO, IvanBackground: Total mesorectal excision is the standard radical operation after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for patients with middle/low locally advanced rectal cancer. However, it carries significant rates of morbidity, sexual/urinary dysfunction, fecal impairment and permanent stoma. The ability to identify patients with a complete or nearly-complete response could help steer patients to less-invasive surgery or a watch-and-wait strategy. Objective: To assess the ability to predict good responders and a favorable prognosis among rectal cancer patients by post-chemoradiation therapy MRI. Patients: Consecutive patients stage T3-4N0M0 or T(any)N+M0 located within 10cm from the anal verge were enrolled. Patients were staged and re-staged 8.8 weeks after the completion of chemoradiation by digital exam, colonoscopy, pelvic-MRI, and thorax and abdominal CT scans. All patients underwent total mesorectal excision with curative intent. Results: Of the total 309 patients, 275 were eligible, and 199 (72.4%) of these were stage III. Restaging-MRI identified 59 (21.4%) T <= 2N0/TRG1-2. Specimen pathologic evaluation revealed 43 (15.6%) patients with a complete pathologic response. Estimates of the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of MRIyT=2N0/TRG1-2 for the identification of ypT0N0 were 79.7%, 84.5%, 53.5%, 39%, and 90.7%, respectively. Estimates for the identification of ypN0 were 48.4%, 27.8%, 92%, 88.1%, and 48.4%, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, the only pre-CRT/MRI variables that were associated with an increased risk of lymph node involvement at the specimen were N+ (OR=2.22) and extramural vascular invasion (OR=2.28). MRI yT <= 2N0/TRG1-2 patients showed improved estimated 5-year disease-free survival, but no difference in estimated 5-year survival. Conclusion: Although MRIyT <= 2N0/TRG1-2 cannot predict all cases of a complete pathologic response, it can effectively predict a low rate of lymph node involvement and a better prognosis in patients who undergo total mesorectal excision.conferenceObject EFFICACY OF TRIDIMENSIONAL ENDORECTAL ULTRASOUND IN COMPARISON TO HISTOPATHOLOGY FOR EVALUATION EXTRA PERITONEAL RECTAL NEOPLASMS.(2015) PINTO, R.; CORREA NETO, I.; NAHAS, S.; NAHAS, C.; MARQUES, C.; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, U.; BUSTAMANTE-LOPEZ, L.; SOARES, D.; CECCONELLO, I.
