RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The identification of gastric polyps incidentally in endoscopies of the upper digestive tract has increased its incidence, varying between 0.5% and 23%. 10% of these polyps have symptoms, 40% are hyperplastic. We allow ourselves to propose a laparoscopic technique for the management of giant hyperplastic polyps associated with a pyloric syndrome, not susceptible to endoscopic resection. METHOD: A series of patients approached by laparoscopic transgastric polypectomy due to the giant gastric polyps associated with pyloric syndrome, in Bogotá, Colombia, from January 2015 to December 2018. RESULTS: Seven patients, 85% female, with an average age of 51 years, who were admitted for pyloric syndrome and were taken to laparoscopic management, with an average surgical time of 42 min, intraoperative bleeding 7-8 cc, tolerance to the oral route 24 hours, no conversion, without mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Transgastric polypectomy for the management of benign giant gastric polyps that cannot be resected endoscopically turns out to be a feasible method, with a low rate of complications and without mortality.


ANTECEDENTES: La identificación de pólipos gástricos de manera incidental en endoscopias de vías digestivas altas ha aumentado su incidencia, que varía entre el 0.5% y el 23%. El 10% de estos pólipos presentan síntomas y el 40% son hiperplásicos. Nos permitimos proponer una técnica laparoscópica para el manejo de los pólipos hiperplásicos gigantes asociados a síndrome pilórico no susceptibles de resección endoscópica. MÉTODO: Serie de pacientes llevados a polipectomía transgástrica laparoscópica por hallazgo de pólipos gástricos gigantes asociados a síndrome pilórico, en Bogotá, Colombia, de enero de 2015 a diciembre de 2018. RESULTADOS: Un total de siete pacientes, el 85% de sexo femenino, con edad promedio de 51 años, ingresaron por síndrome pilórico y fueron llevados a manejo laparoscópico, con un tiempo quirúrgico promedio de 42 minutos, sangrado intraoperatorio de 7-8 cc, tolerancia a la vía oral a las 24 horas, no conversión, sin mortalidad. CONCLUSIONES: La polipectomía transgástrica para el manejo de pólipos gástricos gigantes benignos que no pueden ser resecados por vía endoscópica resulta ser un método factible, con una baja tasa de complicaciones y sin mortalidad.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Penetrating chest trauma (PCT) represents 10% of worldwide mortality, with developing countries counting as some of the most affected by high mortality rates due to cardiac trauma. Colombia is considered one of the most violent countries due to the high mortality rate associated with war and crime, hence the validation of an own classification for penetrating cardiac injuries (PCI) is mandatory. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study which included adult patients with PCIs at a level 4 trauma center in Colombia, between January 2018 and April 2020. We used our own system (Bogotá Classification) and compared it with traditional systems (e.g., Ivatury's, OIS-AAST), by analyzing the mechanism of injury (MOI), the hemodynamic status of the patient at admission, the inpatient management, the individual outcomes, and some demographic variables. Bivariate statistical analysis, spearman correlation, and logistic regression were performed. Results: Four hundred and ninety-nine patients were included. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between mortality and hemodynamic state, MOI, its location and degree of lesion, cardiac/vessel injury, cardiac tamponade, time between injury and medical care, fluid reanimation, as well as the Ivatury's classification and the new classification (p < 0.005). The adequate correlation between Ivatury's and Bogotá classification supports the latter's clinical utility for patients presenting with PCI. Likewise, logistic regression showed a statistically significant association among mortality rates (p < 0.005). Conclusions: The Bogotá classification showed similar performance to the Ivatury's classification, correlating most strongly with mortality. This scale could be replicated in countries with similar social and economic contexts.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. The standard management for localized GIST is the complete surgical resection. For this procedure, laparoendoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) has been proposed as a safe and effective alternative. We want to show our experience with LECS technique for the management of GIST and a literature review. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out, which included patients with a diagnosis of localized GIST treated with LECS technique between January 2011 and December 2018. RESULTS: During the period of the study, 21 patients were managed by LECS technique, with a male-female rate 3:1. Average surgical time was 98.5 min, 100% negative borders in all patients. Intraoperative bleeding was 30.7 cc and all patients had orally tolerance in the first 24 h. None of them required ICU management, no mortality was reported. CONCLUSIONS: The LECS technique has demonstrated to be a viable, safe, and effective technique for the management of gastric GIST's, showing superiority in organ function preservation and in the range of oncological margins. Prospective studies are necessary to obtain knowledge about the outcome of patients managed through LECS technique.


INTRODUCCIÓN: Los tumores del estroma gastrointestinal (GIST) son las neoplasias mesenquimales más comunes del tracto gastrointestinal. El tratamiento estándar para los GIST localizados es la resección quirúrgica completa. Para este procedimiento, el abordaje cooperativo laparo-endocopico (ACLE) se ha propuesto como una alternativa segura y eficaz. Queremos mostrar nuestra experiencia con la técnica ACLE para el manejo de GIST y unzaa revisión de la literatura. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, transversal, que incluyó pacientes con diagnóstico de GIST localizado tratados con la técnica ACLE entre enero de 2011 y diciembre de 2018. RESULTADOS: Durante el periodo de estudio se manejaron 21 pacientes con técnica de ACLE, con una tasa hombre-mujer de 3:1. El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 98.5 min, con 100% de bordes negativos en todos los pacientes. El sangrado intraoperatorio fue de 30.7 cc y todos los pacientes tuvieron tolerancia oral en las primeras 24H. Ninguno de ellos requirió manejo en UCI, no se reportó mortalidad. CONCLUSIONES: La técnica ACLE ha demostrado ser una técnica viable, segura y eficaz para el manejo de los GIST gástricos. Mostrando superioridad en la preservación de la función orgánica y en los magines oncológicos. Son necesarios estudios prospectivos para conocer el resultado de los pacientes manejados mediante la técnica ACLE.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Mirizzi's Syndrome (MS) is a rare pathology, known to be a challenge for the surgeon. In the surgical management, open approach vs laparoscopic is a topic of discussion due to anatomic variations. The aim of this study is to analyze our experience in the laparoscopic management of this condition in Type Va. METHODS: We made a descriptive retrospective study of patients diagnosed with MS type Va and treated by laparoscopic approach from 2014 to 2019, in two high volume centers of Bogotá, Colombia. RESULTS: 1073 patients who presented complications from gallstones were evaluated, of which 16 were diagnosed with MS type Va. 75% were females and 25% males; 80% presented jaundice and 90% abdominal pain; 12 patients showed cholecystoduodenal fistula and 4 cholecystocolic fistula. All patients underwent laparoscopic management, total cholecystectomy and fistula resection with primary closure was possible on a 100% of the patients. Conversion rate was 0%. The follow up was 18 months. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic management of MS is feasible and safe; the experience of the surgery group and selection of the patients is the key to a successful outcome.

RESUMEN

AIM OF THE STUDY: Laparoscopic adhesiolysis in small bowel obstruction (SBO) is getting increasingly normal. In patients with multiple adhesive SBOs (MASBO), laparoscopic approaches might increase the risk of bowel injury due to the distended and potentially compromised small bowel. It remains a challenge to the surgeons, entails an interdisciplinary team, trying to achieve the least complications as possible. The study aimed to compare surgical outcomes of laparoscopic procedures (multi-port vs. single-port) in the management of MASBO. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Comparative study of 68 patients with post-operative MASBO treated with Single-Port single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and Multi-port Laparoscopic Surgery in two centers of Bogota, Colombia between January 2013 and June 2018. RESULTS: All patients underwent laparoscopic management, 27 patients by SILS, and 41 patients by multi-port. The average surgical time in the multiport approach was 167 min versus SILS with 129 min. Laparoscopic intestinal resection was performed in 4.4% of patients, through multi-port using intracorporeal anastomosis. Mean hospital stay of 3.2 days for the SILS approach versus multi-port in 2.2 days. CONCLUSIONS: Both laparoscopic approaches, in MASBO treatment is feasible in qualified hands. Patient selection and medical judgment seem to be the most essential factors for a positive result.


OBJETIVOS DEL ESTUDIO: Cada día es más frecuente la adherensiolisis laparoscópica en obstrucción del intestino delgado. En pacientes con obstrucciones debidas a múltiples adherencias del intestino delgado (OMAID), los abordajes laparoscópicos pueden incrementar el riesgo de daño de víscera hueca debido a la presencia de asas distendidas. Continúa siendo un reto para el cirujano, requiriendo un grupo interdisciplinario para disminuir las posibles complicaciones. Este estudio busca comparar los desenlaces de abordajes laparoscópicos (Multipuerto vs. monopuerto) en el manejo del OMAID. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio de 68 pacientes con OMAID postoperatorio tratado con cirugía laparoscópica de monopuerto y múltipuerto en dos centros de Bogotá, Colombia entre enero de 2013 y junio de 2018. RESULTADOS: Pacientes llevados a manejo laparoscópico, 27 por monopuerto y 41 por múltipuerto, con tiempo quirúrgico promedio de 129 y 167 minutos respectivamente. 4.1% de los pacientes requirieron resección intestinal, todas en pacientes con abordaje múltipuerto con anastomosis intracorpóreas. El tiempo medio de hospitalización fue de 3.2 días para monopuerto y 2.2 días para multipuerto. CONCLUSIONES: Ambos abordajes laparoscópicos son factibles para el manejo del OMAID en manos calificadas. La selección del paciente y el juicio médico parecen ser factores fundamentales en el resultado positivo.

RESUMEN

Introducción. El aneurisma aórtico abdominal roto, tiene una mortalidad del 80 % al 90 %. Para su reparación existe una técnica abierta y otra endovascular, las cuales tienen diferencias entre sus beneficios y complicaciones. El método de elección en la actualidad para la corrección de esta alteración anatómica es endovascular, sin embargo, no es el más usado, porque no se cuenta todo el tiempo con el equipo humano de cirugía vascular para su realización. Caso clínico. Ingresa a urgencias un paciente en estado de shock de origen desconocido, con dolor abdominal de 24 horas de evolución. Se realiza una tomografía con contraste que demuestra un aneurisma aórtico abdominal infrarrenal roto. Debido a que no se contaba con el equipo de cirugía vascular, es llevado de urgencia a una corrección abierta que duró 153 minutos, con un sangrado intraoperatorio de 1754 cc. Fue dado de alta a los 12 días postoperatorios sin ninguna complicación. Discusión. La reparación endovascular del aneurisma aórtico abdominal roto es la mejor elección, ya que muestra mayores beneficios en comparación con la reparación abierta, sin embargo, no es el más utilizado, porque se necesita de un personal bien entrenado en cirugía endovascular, por lo que, dentro de la formación de los cirujanos generales, se tiene que incluir el aprendizaje de las técnicas abiertas


Introduction. The ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm has a mortality of 80% to 90%. There is an open and an endovascular techniques for its repair, which have differences between their benefits and complications. The method of choice for the correction of this anatomical alteration is endovascular; however, it is not the most frequently used, mainly because the vascular surgical team is not available all the time to perform it.Clinical case. A patient in a state of shock of unknown origin was admitted to the emergency room, with abdominal pain of 24 hours of evolution. A contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrated a ruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Due to the lack of a vascular surgery team, the patient was rushed for an open surgery that lasted 153 minutes, with an intraoperative bleeding of 1754 cc. He was discharged 12 days after surgery without any complications.Discussion. Endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is the best choice, since it shows greater benefits compared to open repair. However, it is not the most widely used because it requires well-trained personnel in endovascular surgery. Therefore, learning of open techniques must be included in the training of general surgeons

RESUMEN

In the XIX century, the surgeon faces surgical challenges due to the creation of new technologies. Accidental or compressed air-induced injury to the colon and rectum is rare. We present the case of a 45-year-old patient who consults the emergency department, then a high-pressure rectal pneumatic trauma, with clinical findings of peritonism, managed with a Hartmann-type colostomy. and anterior resection of the rectum using laparoscopy, with findings of rectosigmoid perforation. With this, it can be demonstrated that minimally invasive surgery is a feasible approach in hemodynamically unstable patients without contraindication for pneumoperitoneum.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Bile duct injury (BDI) is a devastating complication after a cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic management has become a mainstay approach because of the advantages offered to patients; nevertheless, outcomes after repair are influenced by the center, the surgeon's experience, and the type of reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with common BDI managed at a referral center from January 2013 to June 2018 with a novel modified and simplified laparoscopic technique for a hepatic duct jejunostomy with a Roux-en-Y reconstruction were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Twenty patients had a BDI (20/5430-0.3%), 8 (40%) had intraoperative diagnosis, and 12 (60%) patients with diagnosis before 72 h. Type E Strasberg classification, the predominant BDI was Strasberg E1 (65%), the average surgery time was 146.5 min (115-178 min), the average intraoperative bleeding was 15-50 cc. The overall complication rate was 10 % (2/20), 1 (5%) patient required, there were no mortalities, and the mean hospital stay was 5 days. One (5%) patient presented bile leak (Type SE4), and 1 (5%) patient required intensive care unit admission after reintervention. Long-term follow-up showed no bile duct stricture, cholangitis, or recurrent choledocholithiasis up to 5 years after the procedure and with a minimum of 1 year minimum follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: This simplified laparoscopic approach to bile duct reconstruction with Roux-en-Y anastomoses appears to be an effective and safe alternative to reconstructive open bile duct surgery, offering to patients the benefits of laparoscopic surgery with a low complication rate.


ANTECEDENTES: La lesión del conducto biliar es una complicación devastadora tras una colecistectomía. El tratamiento laparoscópico se ha convertido en un enfoque principal debido a las ventajas ofrecidas a los pacientes; sin embargo, los resultados después de la reparación están influenciados por el centro, la experiencia del cirujano y el tipo de reconstrucción. MÉTODO: Se revisaron retrospectivamente los pacientes con lesión del conducto biliar tratados con reconstrucción biliar en un centro de referencia, desde enero de 2013 hasta junio de 2018, por vía laparoscópica con una técnica modificada y simplificada con hepatoyeyunostomía en Y de Roux. RESULTADOS: Veinte pacientes de 5,430 tenían lesión del conducto biliar (0,3%), 8 (40%) tuvieron diagnóstico intraoperatorio y 12 (60%) diagnóstico antes de las 72 horas. Todos con una clasificación de Strasberg tipo E, con predominio de E1 (65%). El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 146,5 (rango 115-178) minutos y el sangrado intraoperatorio promedio fue de 15-50 cm3. La tasa general de complicaciones fue del 10% (2/20); 1 (5%) paciente requirió reintervención. No hubo mortalidad y la estancia hospitalaria media fue de 5 días. Un paciente (5%) presentó fuga biliar (tipo SE4) y 1 (5%) paciente requirió ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos después de la reintervención. El seguimiento fue de hasta 5 años tras el procedimiento, con un mínimo de 1 año, y no se han documentado estenosis del conducto biliar, colangitis ni coledocolitiasis recurrente. CONCLUSIÓN: Este enfoque laparoscópico simplificado para la reconstrucción del conducto biliar con anastomosis en Y de Roux parece ser una opción efectiva y segura a la cirugía reconstructiva del conducto biliar abierta, ofreciendo a los pacientes los beneficios de la cirugía laparoscópica y con una baja tasa de complicaciones.

RESUMEN

Background: Despite the effectiveness of laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) surgery, no case series details the use and advantages of laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) without use of intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) failure. Therefore, we present a case series regarding our success with LCBDE in managing CBD stones (CBDSs) using laparoscopic technique without IOC. Materials and Methods: We performed a descriptive retrospective observational study. Patients with CBDSs, alone or along with gallbladder stones, were treated through LCBDE with primary CBD closure after failed ERCP. Results: All patients underwent LCBDE with choledocotomy and primary duct closure. Patients with gallbladder stones underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (78%). All procedures were successful, and no conversions occurred. Surgery duration averaged 106 minutes. Intraoperative bleeding averaged 15 cc, and no mortalities occurred. No patients required additional surgery or intensive care unit admission. Hospitalization duration averaged 5 days. Conclusions: Therefore, a laparoscopic approach with primary CBD closure after failed ERCP for complex CBDSs is safe and effective.

RESUMEN

Introducción. La hernioplastia con malla de polipropileno es la técnica de elección para el reparo de las hernias inguinales. Actualmente, existe controversia sobre esta técnica en pacientes con heridas sucias o contaminadas; sin embargo, la evidencia en la literatura médica ha demostrado que su uso puede ser seguro. Los autores presentan su experiencia con las mallas de polipropileno en la cirugía contaminada para cierre de hernias inguinales.Método. Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo en el que se incluyeron los pacientes mayores de 18 años atendidos entre enero de 2017 y diciembre de 2018 por presentar hernias inguinales, que requirieron tratamiento quirúrgico de urgencias, y que presentaban heridas sucias o contaminadas. Los criterios evaluados fueron: infección de la herida quirúrgica, morbilidad y mortalidad, necesidad de remoción de la malla y recurrencia de la hernia.Resultados. Diez pacientes fueron sometidos a cirugía de urgencias, requiriendo resección intestinal por necrosis: nueve de ellos, por hernias estranguladas y, uno, por apendicitis perforada. En uno de los diez pacientes, se consideró sucia la herida por presentar necrosis intestinal y perforación. Los nueve restantes presentaban necrosis intestinal sin perforación, por lo cual se consideraron heridas contaminadas. La infección de la herida ocurrió en 1/10 pacientes con infección del sitio operatorio superficial; la eliminación de la malla no fue necesaria en ningún paciente durante todo el período de estudio. No se observaron recidivas y no hubo mortalidad.Conclusión. El uso de malla de polipropileno para la corrección de hernias inguinales, en pacientes con heridas sucias o contaminadas, es efectivo y seguro, con una morbilidad aceptable y buenos resultados a corto plazo


Introduction: Polypropylene mesh hernioplasty is the technique of choice for the repair of inguinal hernias. Currently, there is controversy about this technique in patients with dirty or contaminated wounds. However, evidence in the medical literature has shown its use can be safe. The authors present their experience in the use of polypropylene meshes in contaminated surgery to close inguinal hernias.Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in patients older than 18 year-old between January 2017 and December 2018. Were included those with inguinal hernias, requiring emergency surgical treatment, and presented contaminated or dirty wounds. The inclusion criteria were infection of the surgical wound, the need for removal of the mesh removal and recurrence of the hernia.Results: Ten patients underwent emergency surgery, requiring bowel resection for necrosis: nine of them for strangulated hernias and, one for perforated appendicitis. In one of the ten patients, the wound was considered dirty due to intestinal necrosis and perforation. The remaining nine had intestinal necrosis without perforation, so they were considered contaminated wounds. Wound infection occurred in 1/10 patients (10%) with superficial operative site infection; mesh removal was not necessary in any patient during the entire study period. No recurrence was observed and there was no mortality.Conclusion: The use of polypropylene mesh for the correction of inguinal hernias in patients with contaminated and dirty wounds is effective and safe, with acceptable morbidity and good short-term results

RESUMEN

Esophageal lung is a rare entity that results from embryological alterations during the formation of the ventral wall of the anterior intestine. The clinical manifestations of this pathology are vague, including respiratory or digestive symptoms, repetitive respiratory infections, dysphagia, or inability to swallow. The management is based on the exact anatomical and vascular abnormalities. We report the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in a preterm boy with esophageal lung. Also, we present a three-dimensional model for the classification of this pathology. In conclusion, the management relies on proper definition of the anatomy and the surgical strategy.

RESUMEN

Objectives: Duration of tasks in a job is an essential interest in occupational epidemiology. Such duration is frequently measured using self-reports, which may, however, be associated with both bias and random errors. The present systematic literature review examines the correctness of self-reported durations of tasks, i.e. the extent to which they differ from more valid reference data due to either systematic or random errors, and factors influencing this correctness, with particular emphasis on the assessment of exposures of relevance to musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: The search for relevant studies included the databases ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE, EBSCO HOST, Proquest, and Psycnet. Results: Thirty-two articles were identified; of which, 23 examined occupational tasks and 9 examined non-occupational tasks. Agreement between self-reports and a more correct reference was reported for, in total, 182 tasks. Average proportional errors were, for most tasks, between -50% (i.e. underestimations) and +100%, with a dominance of overestimations; 22% of all results considered overestimations of 100% or more. For 15% of the 182 reported tasks, the mean difference between the self-reported and the reference duration value was <5%, and 20% of the 182 mean differences were between 5 and 20%. In general, respondents were able to correctly distinguish tasks of a longer duration from shorter tasks, even though the actual durations were not correct. A number of factors associated with the task per se appeared to influence agreement between self-reports and reference data, including type of task, true task duration, task pattern across time (continuous versus discontinuous), and whether the addressed task is composed of subtasks. The musculoskeletal health status of the respondent did not have a clear effect on the ability to correctly report task durations. Studies differed in key design characteristics and detail of information reported, which hampers a formal aggregation of results. Conclusions: The correctness of self-reported task durations is, at the best, moderate at the individual level, and this may present a significant problem when using self-reports in task-based assessment of individual job exposures. However, average self-reports at the group level appear reasonably correct and may thus be a viable method in studies addressing, for instance, the relative occurrence of tasks in a production system. Due to the disparity of studies, definite conclusions on the quantitative effect on agreement of different modifiers are not justified, and we encourage future studies specifically devoted to understanding and controlling sources of bias in self-reported task durations. We also encourage studies developing decision support for when to apply or avoid self-reports to measure task durations, depending on study purpose and occupational setting.

RESUMEN

The aim of this study was to combine three different analytical methods from three different disciplines to diagnose the ergonomic conditions, manufacturing and supply chain operation of a baking company. The study explores a summary of comprehensive working methods that combines the ergonomics, automation and logistics study methods in the diagnosis of working conditions and productivity. The participatory approach of this type of study that involves the feelings and first-hand knowledge of workers of the operation are determining factors in defining points of action and ergonomic interventions, as well as defining opportunities in the automation of manufacturing and logistics, to cope with the needs of the company. The study identified an ergonomic situation (high prevalence of wrist-hand pain), and the combination of interdisciplinary techniques applied allowed to improve this condition in the company. This type of study allows a primary basis of the opportunities presented by the combination of specialized methods of different disciplines, for the definition of comprehensive action plans for the company. Additionally, it outlines opportunities for improvement and recommendations to mitigate the burden associated with occupational diseases and as an end result improve the quality of life and productivity of workers.
