    Laparoscopic training model using fresh human cadavers without the establishment of penumoperitoneum
    (2016) IMAKUMA, Ernesto Sasaki; USSAMI, Edson Yassushi; MEYER, Alberto
    Background: Laparoscopy is a well-established alternative to open surgery for treating many diseases. Although laparoscopy has many advantages, it is also associated with disadvantages, such as slow learning curves and prolonged operation time. Fresh frozen cadavers may be an interesting resource for laparoscopic training, and many institutions have access to cadavers. One of the main obstacles for the use of cadavers as a training model is the difficulty in introducing a sufficient pneumoperitoneum to distend the abdominal wall and provide a proper working space. The purpose of this study was to describe a fresh human cadaver model for laparoscopic training without requiring a pneumoperitoneum. Materials and Methods and Results: A fake abdominal wall device was developed to allow for laparoscopic training without requiring a pneumoperitoneum in cadavers. The device consists of a table-mounted retractor, two rail clamps, two independent frame arms, two adjustable handle and rotating features, and two frames of the abdominal wall. A handycam is fixed over a frame arm, positioned and connected through a USB connection to a television and dissector; scissors and other laparoscopic materials are positioned inside trocars. The laparoscopic procedure is thus simulated. Conclusion: Cadavers offer a very promising and useful model for laparoscopic training. We developed a fake abdominal wall device that solves the limitation of space when performing surgery on cadavers and removes the need to acquire more costly laparoscopic equipment. This model is easily accessible at institutions in developing countries, making it one of the most promising tools for teaching laparoscopy.

    Laparoscopically excised retroperitoneal presacral Schwannoma: atypical pre and postoperative manifestations - case report
    (2019) CARVALHO, Barbara Justo; MEDEIROS, Kayo Augusto de Almeida; MARTINES, Diego Ramos; NII, Fernanda; PIPEK, Leonardo Zumerkorn; MESQUITA, Gustavo Heluani Antunes de; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; MEYER, Alberto; ANDRAUS, Wellington
    Background We are a reporting a rare case of retroperitoneal schwanomma with atypical pre and postoperative manifestations. Retroperitoneal schwannomas are rare tumors that are difficult to preoperatively diagnose. Case presentation This is a case report of a male patient, 41 years old, with symptoms of hipogastric and lower right member pain, as well as a history of a papilliferous thyroid tumor. Computerized tomography exams were inconclusive, showing a mass in the presacral region with dimensions of 4.4 x 3.9 x 3.4 cm. Removal was carried out by laparoscopic surgery, with self-limited postoperative complications. Diagnosis was carried out by anatomopathological examination, and syndromic hypotheses were discarded. Conclusions The postoperative complications of schwanomma are little reported in the literature. In the simultaneous occurrence of schwanomma and other endocrine tumors, further studies are warranted to better differentiate the cases that need investigation of syndromic causes.

    The impact of properly diagnosed sarcopenia on postoperative outcomes after gastrointestinal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
    (2020) PIPEK, Leonardo Zumerkorn; BAPTISTA, Carlos Guilherme; NASCIMENTO, Rafaela Farias Vidigal; TABA, Joao Victor; SUZUKI, Milena Oliveira; NASCIMENTO, Fernanda Sayuri do; MARTINES, Diego Ramos; NII, Fernanda; IUAMOTO, Leandro Ryuchi; CARNEIRO-D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto; MEYER, Alberto; ANDRAUS, Wellington
    Background Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass combined with loss of muscle strength, with or without loss of muscle performance. The use of this parameter as a risk factor for complications after surgery is not currently used. This meta-analysis aims to assess the impact of sarcopenia defined by radiologically and clinically criteria and its relationship with complications after gastrointestinal surgeries. Materials and methods A review of the literature was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019132221). Articles were selected from the PUBMED and EMBASE databases that adequately assessed sarcopenia and its impact on postoperative complications in gastrointestinal surgery patients. Pooled estimates of pre-operative outcome data were calculated using the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analysis were performed to assess each type of surgery. Results The search strategy returned 1323, with 11 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A total of 4265 patients were analysed. The prevalence of sarcopenia between studies ranged from 6.8% to 35.9%. The meta-analysis showed an OR for complications after surgery of 3.01 (95% CI 2.55-3.55) and an OR of 2.2 (95% CI 1.44-3.36) for hospital readmission (30 days). Conclusion Sarcopenia, when properly diagnosed, is associated with an increase in late postoperative complications, as well as an increase in the number of postoperative hospital readmissions for various types of gastrointestinal surgery. We believe that any preoperative evaluation should include, in a patient at risk, tests for the diagnosis of sarcopenia and appropriate procedures to reduce its impact on the patient's health.

    Background: Islets of Langerhans transplantation is a promising alternative for glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes. The graft site is a factor that has large impact on the functioning of this transplant, and the stomach appears to be a promising location. Our objective is to describe a new experimental model for the grafting of Islets of Langerhans in rat stomachs. Methodology: Islets of Langerhans were extracted from 45 isogenic male rats of the Lewis lineage and transplanted into 9 isogenic rats of the Wistar lineage; 5 in the gastric body submucosa, and 4 in the gastric fundus submucosa. Normoglycemia was defined as two successive measurements of < 250 mg/dL. No immunosuppression was used. The two groups glycemia control improvement were compared with t-student test. Results: The results obtained following the transplantation of the islets in 9 rats showed between 995 and 2310 islets transplanted (mean of 1367). The rats from the gastric submucosa group had a better glycemic level improvement, with a confidence equal to 83.94%. Conclusion: Islets graft into the gastric fundus submucosa is a viable model with potential for adequate glycemic control. This model gives potential for new perspectives and future studies in this area.

    A rare sporadic pancreatic desmoid fibromatosis with splenic vein invasion diagnosed by CT scan-guided core needle biopsy: a case report with possible differential diagnosis from metastatic colorectal or renal cancer
    (2021) MEYER, Alberto; SZAJNBOK, Paulo; KOSZKA, Andreas Johann Molnar; PEZZUTTI, Daniela; SEGATELLI, Vanderlei; JR, Jose Monteiro
    Desmoid tumor is a rare fibroblastic proliferationwith a variable and often unpredictable clinical course that arises in the deep soft tissues and is characterized by infiltrative growth with tendency to local recurrence but not to metastasize. A 49-year-old man was referred for a second opinion regarding a pancreatic mass. With a personal neoplastic background of two different tumors, we considered as a high probability of being metastatic of his previous colorectal or renal cancers, in a peritoneal implant. Due to the unclear origin and nature of the mass, we opted for requesting a computed tomography (CT)-guided core needle biopsy that could eventually lead to a surgical and/or chemotherapy treatment. So far, this is the first case of pancreatic desmoid fibromatosis with splenic vein invasion diagnosed by CT scan-guided core needle biopsy. Surgery should be performed by an experienced surgeon as first-line therapy, provided expected surgical morbidity is limited.

    Functional Changes in Cortical Activity of Patients Submitted to Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment An Exploratory Pilot Study
    (2022) IUAMOTO, Leandro Ryuchi; IMAMURA, Marta; SAMESHIMA, Koichi; MEYER, Alberto; SIMIS, Marcel; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; FREGNI, Felipe
    Introduction There is evidence that brain plasticity is the central mechanism involved in the functional recovery process of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Studies involving the analysis of central nervous system mechanisms of pain control and recovery could provide more data on future therapeutic approaches. Objective The aim of the study was to explore possible functional changes in cortical activity of patients submitted to knee osteoarthritis standardized pain treatment using electroencephalography. Methodology Ten patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of painful knee unilateral or bilateral osteoarthritis were recruited to participate in clinical (Pain's Visual Analog Scale), radiological (Kellgren-Lawrence Scale), and neurophysiological (electroencephalography) assessments to evaluate cortical activity during cortical pain modulation activity. The clinical and neurophysiological analyses were performed before and after standardized pain treatment. Results Eight patients participated in this study. A significant improvement in pain perception and relative increase in interhemispheric connectivity after therapies was observed. In electroencephalography analysis, tests with real movement showed a relative increase in density directed at Graph's analysis. Conclusions Relative increase density directed measures at connectivity analysis in electroencephalography after pain treatment can be possible parameters to be explored in future research with a larger number of patients.
