Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Gastric Resection for Primary Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors5 cm: A Size-Matched and Location-Matched Comparison.
2017
This study compared robotic (RR) and laparoscopic resection (LR) for primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) of the stomach >5 cm. Twelve consecutive patients who underwent RR from 2012 to 2015 were matched for tumor size and location with 24 patients who underwent LR from 2000 to 2012. The median tumor size was 7.1 cm (range, 5.5 to 11.5). GISTs were resected by wedge resection (91.7%) or distal gastrectomy. The median RR operative time was longer than that of LR (162.5 vs. 130 min, respectively; P=0.004). Only 1 LR patient required conversion. The time to flatus and hospital stay were similar between groups. Overall, 3 patients developed minor postoperative complications that w…
2017 WSES guidelines for the management of iatrogenic colonoscopy perforation
2017
Abstract Iatrogenic colonoscopy perforation (ICP) is a severe complication that can occur during both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Although 45–60% of ICPs are diagnosed by the endoscopist while performing the colonoscopy, many ICPs are not immediately recognized but are instead suspected on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms that occur after the endoscopic procedure. There are three main therapeutic options for ICPs: endoscopic repair, conservative therapy, and surgery. The therapeutic approach must vary based on the setting of the diagnosis (intra- or post-colonoscopy), the type of ICP, the characteristics and general status of the patient, the operator’s level of experienc…
Endoscopic training during fellowship: A nationwide French study
2022
ABSTRACT Background In France, it is mandatory that gastroenterology fellows have mastered the basic level of endoscopy by the end of training. The aim of this study was to assess improvement in the quality of fellows’ endoscopy training in France during the last four years. Methods All fellows in France in training were eligible for participation. A 21-item questionnaire was sent out. The primary outcome was the completion by fourth year fellows of all the number of procedures recommended. Results were compared with those of a 2016 survey. Results Two-hundred-and-sixty-five fellows responded to the survey. The participation rate was 47.0%. The mean age was 27.3 ± 1.0 years and 56.4% were f…
Second primary malignancies in patients treated for gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.
2017
IF 2.755; International audience; To assess the risk of second primary malignancy (SPM) in patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) Lymphoma (GML), we included 175 patients with GML in the present study. The incidence of SPM in the general population, used for reference, was determined from the French network of cancer registries. During the 1442.9 patient-years of follow-up, 29 patients were diagnosed with incident SPM, including five patients diagnosed with gastric cancer (20.1/1000 patient-years). An increased incidence of SPM was observed in patients with GML (standardized incidence ratios [SIR]: 1.71 [1.14-2.45]) compared to the general French population especiall…
