- IS ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION STILL LIMITED TO FEW TERTIARY CENTERS IN THE WEST? RESULTS FROM A NATIONAL SURVEY IN BRAZIL(2020) ARANTES, Vitor N; SANNA, Maria das Graças Pimenta; ALVES, Jairo Silva; MILHOMEM-CARDOSO, Daniela Medeiros; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables en bloc excision of superficial neoplasms. Although ESD is widely practiced in Eastern countries like Japan, South Korea and China, its use in the West is supposed to be still limited to few tertiary centers. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the clinical practice of ESD in Brazil by means of an electronic questionnaire elaborated by the Brazilian Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SOBED). METHODS: In October 2019, 3512 endoscopist members of SOBED were invited to respond to an electronic survey containing 40 questions divided into four topics: operator profile; clinical experience with ESD; adverse events and training. Informed consent was requested to all participants. The investigators reviewed all responses and considered valid if more than 50% of the questions were answered and additional information, when requested, was provided. RESULTS: A total of 155 (4.4%) qualified responses entered the study. ESD has been practiced in 22 of 26 Federation States and majority of respondents (32.2%) have 10 to 20 years of practice. ESD has been performed more frequently in private hospitals (101 individuals, 66.9%) and private ambulatory centers (41 individuals, 27.1%). ESD was performed mainly in the stomach (72%), followed by the rectum (57%) and 80% of the individuals reported less than 25 operations. Twenty-four (15.4 %) individuals reported perforation and 4 (2.5%) of them reported postoperative deaths. Approximately a quarter of responders denied hands-on training in models or visit to training centers. CONCLUSION: ESD appears to be practiced throughout the country, not only in tertiary or academic institutions and mainly in private practice. Most operators received limited training and still are at the beginning of their learning curve. The reported adverse events and mortality rates appear to be higher than Eastern reports.
- 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.
- EUS-guided gastroenterostomy: Initial experience in a brazilian tertiary center(2020) OLIVEIRA, Joel Fernandez de; CORDERO, Martin Andres Coronel; LIMA, Gustavo Rosa de Almeida; PAULO, Gustavo Andrade de; LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; MARTINS, Bruno da Costa; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeINTRODUCTION: EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a novel procedure for palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Our aim was to evaluate the outcomes of this technique in our initial experience. METHODS: Patients with GOO from our institute were included. Technical success was defined as the successful creation of a gastroenterostomy. Clinical success was defined as the ability to tolerate a soft diet after the procedure. We assessed adverse events and diet tolerance 1 month after the procedure. RESULTS: Three patients were included. Technical and clinical success was achieved in all cases. There were no adverse events and good diet tolerance was observed 1 month after the procedure in the included patients. CONCLUSION: EUS-GE is a promising treatment for patients with GOO.

- Risk Stratification in Cancer Patients with Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Comparison of Glasgow-Blatchford, Rockall and AIMS65, and Development of a New Scoring System(2022) FRANCO, Matheus Cavalcante; JANG, Sunguk; MARTINS, Bruno da Costa; STEVENS, Tyler; JAIRATH, Vipul; LOPEZ, Rocio; VARGO, John J.; BARKUN, Alan; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground/Aims: Few studies have measured the accuracy of prognostic scores for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) among cancer patients. Thereby, we compared the prognostic scores for predicting major outcomes in cancer patients with UGIB. Secondarily, we developed a new model to detect patients who might require hemostatic care. Methods: A prospective research was performed in a tertiary hospital by enrolling cancer patients admitted with UGIB. Clinical and endoscopic findings were obtained through a prospective database. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to gauge the power of each score. Results: From April 2015 to May 2016, 243 patients met the inclusion criteria. The AIMS65 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.85) best predicted intensive care unit admission, while the Glasgow-Blatchford score best predicted blood transfusion (AUC 0.82) and the low-risk group (AUC 0.92). All scores failed to predict hemostatic therapy and rebleeding. The new score was superior (AUC 0.74) in predicting hemostatic therapy. The AIMS65 (AUC 0.84) best predicted in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: The scoring systems for prognostication were validated in the group of cancer patients with UGIB. A new score was developed to predict hemostatic therapy. Following this result, future prospective research should be performed to validate the new score.

- Comparison of the pull and introducer percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy techniques in patients with head and neck cancer(2017) RETES, Felipe A.; KAWAGUTI, Fabio S.; LIMA, Marcelo S. de; MARTINS, Bruno da Costa; UEMURA, Ricardo S.; PAULO, Gustavo A. de; PENNACCHI, Caterina M. P.; GUSMON, Carla; RIBEIRO, Adriana V. S.; BABA, Elisa R.; GEIGER, Sebastian N.; SORBELLO, Mauricio P.; KULCSAR, Marco A.; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground and study aims: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is associated with higher complication and mortality rates when compared to a general patient population. The pull technique is still the preferred technique worldwide but it has some limitations. The aim of this study is to compare the pull and introducer PEG techniques in patients with HNC. Patients and methods: This study is based on a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database of 309 patients with HNC who underwent PEG in the Cancer Institute of SAo Paulo. Results: The procedure was performed with the standard endoscope in 205 patients and the introducer technique was used in 137 patients. There was one procedure-related mortality. Age, sex and albumin level were similar in both groups. However in the introducer technique group, patients had a higher tumor stage, a lower Karnofsky status, and presented more frequently with tracheostomy and trismus. Overall, major, minor, immediate and late complications and 30-day mortality rates were similar but the introducer technique group presented more minor bleeding and tube dysfunctions. Conclusion: The push and introducer PEG techniques seem to be both safe and effective but present different complication profiles. The choice of PEG technique in patients with HNC should be made individually.
- 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.
