RESUMEN
Robotic colectomy has been associated with comparable or improved short-term morbidity and mortality when compared to laparoscopic colectomy, including shorter length of stay. In this study, we sought to understand oncologic advantages for robotic as compared to laparoscopic colectomy in colon cancer. We analyzed the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) participant user files for all elective colon cancer cases from 1/2016 through 12/2021 performed with minimally invasive surgical techniques (robotic and laparoscopic). We calculated relative risks (RR) through Poisson Regression models and treatment effect coefficients by propensity-score match, after adjusting for age, BMI, ASA scores, mechanical and antibiotic bowel preparation, emergency surgery, race, gender, smoking status, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Analyzed outcomes included rate of chemotherapy initiation within 90 days of surgery, number of harvested lymph nodes, any occurrence of intraoperative or postoperative blood transfusion, and the need for ostomy. During the study period, 44,745 patients underwent minimally invasive colectomy for colon cancer; 39,614 in the laparoscopic cohort and 7,831 in the robotic cohort. After adjusting for confounders, robotic colectomy was associated with a significant increase in the likelihood for initating chemotherapy within 90 days (RR 1.98, 95% CI {1.86-2.10}, p < 0.001). The robotic-treated patients had a significantly more lymph nodes harvested, a significant decrease in the need for intraperative or postoperative blood transfusion (RR 0.64, 95% CI {0.57-0.71}, p < 0.001) and a significant reduction in the need for ostomy formation (RR 0.26, 95% CI {0.22-0.30}, p < 0.001). As a retrospective and non-randomized study, residual bias and confouding variables are likely to exist. The study is also subject to coding incompleteness and inaccuracies. We also do not have additional context on potential factors that might influence time to chemotherapy. In addition, there is no information on surgeon or hospital volume, which can be associated with outcomes. Robotic colectomy for colon cancer was associated with significant improvement in the rate of chemotherapy initiation within 90 days, a significant reduction in need for blood transfusions, and a lower likelihood of receiving an ostomy when compared to laparoscopic colectomy procedures. The data reveal substantial short-term gains in oncologic outcomes for colon cancer performed with robotic techniques.

AIM: The role of bowel preparation before colectomy in Crohn's disease patients remains controversial. This retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes associated with mechanical and antibiotic colon preparation in patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease undergoing elective colectomy. METHOD: Data were collected from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program participant user files from 2016 to 2021. A total of 6244 patients with Crohn's disease who underwent elective colectomy were included. The patients were categorized into two groups: those who received combined colon preparation (mechanical and antibiotic) and those who did not receive any form of bowel preparation. The primary outcomes assessed were the rate of anastomotic leak and the occurrence of deep organ infection. Secondary outcomes included all-cause short-term mortality, clinical-related morbidity, ostomy creation, unplanned reoperation, operative time, hospital length of stay and ileus. RESULTS: Combined colon preparation was associated with significantly reduced risks of anastomotic leak (relative risk 0.73, 95% CI 0.56-0.95, P = 0.021) and deep organ infection (relative risk 0.68, 95% CI 0.56-0.83, P < 0.001). Additionally, patients who underwent colon preparation had lower rates of ostomy creation, shorter hospital stays and a decreased incidence of ileus. However, there was no significant difference in all-cause short-term mortality or the need for unplanned reoperation between the two groups. CONCLUSION: This study shows that mechanical and antibiotic colon preparation may have clinical benefits for patients with Crohn's disease undergoing elective colectomy.

Background: We previously described sleeve gastrectomy with jejunoileal bypass (SGJIB) as promising novel technique for the surgical treatment of obesity Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospective database in a Private Practice of Alimentary Tract Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil. We analyzed 176 patients with 60 months of follow-up, 74 of whom underwent Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy with Jejunoileal Bypass (VSG-JIB) (50 women and 24 men) with a mean age of 38 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 40 kg/m2, and 102 patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) (90 women and 12 men) with a mean age of 36.5 years and a mean BMI of 39.73 kg/m2. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in long-term weight loss between the two groups. The rate of postoperative complications immediately after surgery was similar, but there was a tendency toward less severe complications in the SGJIB cohort. Conclusion: Sleeve gastrectomy with jejunoileal bypass is a novel surgical procedure for weight loss with comparable efficacy and safety compared with laparoscopic RYGB.

Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been widely disseminated as a surgical treatment for obesity and associated comorbidities, and currently it is one of the most performed surgeries in the world. Experimental research is becoming increasingly relevant to characterize the pathophysiological mechanisms induced by it. Objective: The aim of this study was to standardize an experimental model of SG in rats with obesity induced using a cafeteria diet (CAF) and evaluate variations in weight and glycemic control after vertical SG, maintaining the CAF. Materials and Methods: Twenty Rattus norvegicus albinus rats, Wistar strain, with an average weight of 250 g were used. The animals were randomized into two groups and underwent 4 weeks of obesity induction before the procedure. In 10 animals of the SG group, vertical SG was performed, and in 10 animals of the control/sham (C) group, simulated surgery was performed, consisting of laparotomy and bidigital compression of the stomach. The animals were followed for a total of 8 weeks, with the weight assessed weekly and fasting blood glucose assessed before the start of the CAF, at the time of surgery, and after 4 weeks of the postoperative period, when they were sacrificed. Results: Before obesity induction, the average weight was 257.8 g in the SG group 266.1 g in the C group. After obesity induction, the average weight was 384 g in the vertical sleeve gastrectomy group and 374.8 g in the C group. In the fourth postoperative week, the average weight was 391.6 g in the VSG group and 436.6 g in the C group. The average blood glucose levels were 88.7, 101.8, and 91.3 mg/dL in the VSG group and 86.6, 103.1, and 109.4 mg/dL in the C group, respectively, before the start of the diet, in the fourth preoperative week, and in the fourth postoperative week. Conclusions: Vertical SG in rats is feasible and promotes glycemic control in the postoperative period. CAF allows induction of obesity and changes in blood glucose.
