J Gastrointest Surg 2008 Jun;12(6):991-6

University Department of Surgery, Trinity Centre for Health Sciences, St. James' Hospital, Dublin 8, Ireland.

Background: Laparoscopic fundoplication represents the gold standard in the surgical management of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The achievement of long-lasting symptomatic and physiological control of reflux is the goal of therapy, as well as the minimization of troubling sequelae, in particular, dysphagia. On-table endoscopy after fundoplication was introduced in this Unit as a quality initiative in an attempt to minimize dysphagia and technical errors, and the aim of this study is to report the experience to date, and compare outcomes with the previous 100 cases performed by an experienced team.

Methods: Eighty patients who underwent laparoscopic Rosetti-Nissen fundoplication and on-table endoscopy (group 2) were compared with 100 consecutive prior cases (group 1). Patients were prospectively evaluated and had pre- and postoperative symptom scoring and analysis of complications (all patients), and manometry and 24-h pH testing in 120 patients (60 in each group).

Results: Both groups were similar with respect to demographics, esophagitis, pH score, and dysmotility. No bougie was used in either group. On-table endoscopy resulted in technical modifications in 4 (5%) patients. Early grade 2 or 3 dysphagia was evident in 4 (5%) patients in group 2, compared with 15 (15%) in group 1 (p < 0.001). Late dysphagia was evident in one patient (1.5%) in group 2 compared with 7 (7%) in group 1 (p < 0.05). Dilatation was performed in four patients (5%) in group 2, compared with 11 (11%) in group 1 (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: These data suggest that on-table endoscopy may be a useful quality assurance adjunct in laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery, in particular, reducing the incidence of dysphagia and reinterventions.

On-table hepatopancreatobiliary surgical consults for difficult cholecystectomies: A 7-year audit.

Authors:
Kai Siang Chan Elizabeth Hwang Jee Keem Low Sameer P Junnarkar Cheong Wei Terence Huey Vishal G Shelat

Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2022 Jun 21;21(3):273-278. Epub 2022 Mar 21.

Department of General Surgery, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, 308433, Singapore. Electronic address:

Background: Cholecystectomy is considered a general surgical operation. However, general surgeons are not trained to manage severe complications such as bile duct injury (BDI) and should refer to hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeons when difficulty arises. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients who had on-table HPB consults during cholecystectomy. Read More

Concurrent hollow and visceral organs traumatic injury secondary to metal shrapnel penetration in a male with situs inversus totalis: A case report.

Authors:
Mohd Firdaus Che Ani Muhammad Aizat Tamlikha Ismail Nor Faezan Abdul Rashid Firdaus Hayati

Trauma Case Rep 2022 Apr 21;38:100626. Epub 2022 Feb 21.

Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) develops as a result of the embryological developmental anomaly. Managing this condition surgically is challenging as the anatomy will be mirror-imaged. A 42-year-old male had metal shrapnel broken loose from a hammer-head metal piece and pierced into his upper abdomen. Read More

JNMA J Nepal Med Assoc 2021 Jul 30;59(239):706-708. Epub 2021 Jul 30.

Kathamndu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Sinamangal, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Arteriovenous malformations in the ileum are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in young adults with few reported cases and pose difficulty in diagnosing. They usually present with chronic gastrointestinal bleed. A 30-year-old woman presented with an acute episode of hematochezia with a history of intermittent melena for 1. Read More
