RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to conduct a retrospective study about the clinical effects of endoscopic mucosal dissection on the treatment of early esophagogastric precancerous lesions. METHODS: A total of 132 patients with early esophagogastric precancerous lesions who were diagnosed and treated with concurrent surgery in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) group (n = 58) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) group (n = 74) according to different surgical methods. The data in the two groups were compared and analyzed in terms of surgical indicators, treatment status and incidence of postoperative complications. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the whole block cutting rate, fractional cutting rate and complete cutting rate (P < 0.05). The mean operation time of ESD group was significantly longer than that of EMR group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the intraoperative bleeding rate, blood loss, average specimen area, length of hospital stay and treatment cost between the two groups (P > 0.05). The incidence and recurrence of postoperative complications, including bleeding, perforation and stenosis in the two groups, were observed within 1 year of postoperative follow-up. The incidence of complications in ESD group was slightly higher than that in EMR group, and the local recurrence rate in ESD group was lower than that in EMR group (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: ESD is an alternative surgical treatment for patients with early esophagogastric precancerous lesions.

Almost 10% of patients with Crest syndrome associated with severe gastroesophageal reflux and 5-10% of patients with failed cardiomyotomy for achalasia present with cardial or distal esophageal organic stricture. Some of these cases are poor risk patients for surgery and therefore the surgeon must offer a safe procedure with low morbimortality, keeping in mind the pathophysiological motor pattern of these patients.In order to treat the stricture to improve the esophageal transit we treated patients with esophagocardioplasty associated with vagotomy-antrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy, thereby avoiding the potential acid or biliary reflux in poor risk patients in whom esophagectomy would be a very deleterious procedure. All four patients had a good postoperative evolution and late control demonstrated good esophagogastric transit with no postoperative esophagitis.

INTRODUCTION: Recurrence of achalasia may occur in 10%-20% of cases operated by Heller's cardiomyotomy. Most of these patients will require further surgery to relieve symptoms. Major technical difficulties can be found in these reoperations. CASE REPORT: A 50-year-old female patient with relapsed idiopathic achalasia after Heller's technique was treated with an unusual procedure, for the first time in the literature, by minimally invasive access with robotic assistance. CONCLUSIONS: The Serra-Doria operation allows preserving the esophagus and alleviating dysphagic symptoms with low rates of postoperative complications. The use of robotic technology is perfectly feasible and allows minimally invasive access in complex cases and reoperations.

ABSTRACT Background Since Chagas disease has esophageal manifestations with different degrees of involvement, the best surgical option is controversial, especially for patients with advanced chagasic megaesophagus and recurrent symptoms after previous treatment. Objective To assess the early and late outcomes of esophagocardioplasty in a series of patients with advanced recurrent chagasic megaesophagus. Methods This descriptive study included 19 older patients with recurrent megaesophagus grade III/IV and positive immunofluorescence for Chagas disease. They had undergone cardiomyotomy with anterior fundoplication a mean of 16.5 years ago. Serra-Doria esophagocardioplasty was selected to treat the recurrence. The patients were followed to assess postoperative and late complications and the incidence of symptom recurrence. Results In early assessment, five (26.3%) patients presented clinical complications. One (5.2%) patient had a gastrointestinal fistula secondary to esophagogastric anastomotic leak, which responded well to conservative treatment. In the one-year follow-up, 18 (94.7%) patients could swallow normally and had no vomiting. Three years after surgery, 10 (62.5%) of 16 patients could swallow normally, and 3 (19.3%) patients complained of vomiting. Five years after surgery, only 5 (38.4%) of 13 patients could swallow normally and 7 (53.8%) had vomiting. Conclusion Serra-Doria esophagocardioplasty for the treatment of advanced recurrent megaesophagus had mild postoperative complications and good success rate in the short-term follow-up. In the long-term follow-up, it proved to be a poor surgery choice because of the high incidence of symptom recurrence, compromising quality of life. This procedure should be indicated only for patients with advanced recurrent megaesophagus without clinical conditions to undergo esophageal resection.
RESUMO Contexto A doença de Chagas, por apresentar manifestações esofágicas com diferentes graus de acometimento, faz com que haja controvérsias quanto a melhor opção cirúrgica; principalmente para pacientes com megaesôfago chagásico avançado e com recidiva de sintomas após tratamento prévio. Objetivo Avaliar o resultado precoce e tardio da esofagocardioplastia em uma série de pacientes com megaesôfago chagásico avançado e recidivado. Métodos Estudo descritivo, com 19 pacientes idosos com megaesôfago Grau III/IV recidivado e com imunoflorescência positiva para doença de Chagas. A cirurgia prévia foi a cardiomiotomia com fundoplicatura anterior, com tempo médio de realização de 16,5 anos. A cirurgia de eleição para o tratamento da recidiva foi a esofagocardioplastia de Serra-Dória. Realizou-se avaliação precoce para estudar as complicações pós-operatórias e tardias, para avaliar a incidência de recidiva de sintomas. Resultados Na avaliação precoce, 5 (26,3%) pacientes apresentaram complicações clínicas. Um (5,2%) paciente apresentou fístula digestiva consequente a deiscência da anastomose esofagogástrica, mas com boa evolução com o tratamento conservador. Na avaliação de 1 ano de pós-operatório, 18 (94,7%) pacientes apresentavam deglutição normal e sem regurgitação. Com 3 anos de pós-operatório, de 16 pacientes analisados; 10 (62,5%) pacientes apresentavam deglutição normal e 3 (19,3%) se queixavam de regurgitação. Com 5 anos de pós-operatório, de 13 pacientes analisados; somente 5 (38,4%) apresentavam deglutição normal e 7 (53.8%) com regurgitação. Conclusão A esofagocardioplastia de Serra-Dória, no tratamento cirúrgico do megaesôfago avançado recidivado, apresentou complicações pós-operatórias de baixa morbidade e com boa resolutividade, na avaliação precoce. Na avaliação de longo prazo, demonstrou não ser um procedimento cirúrgico adequado, pela alta incidência de recidiva de sintomas, com comprometimento da qualidade de vida. Deve ser indicada somente em pacientes com doença avançada recidivada, sem condições clínicas de serem submetidas à ressecção esofágica.

INTRODUCTION: Achalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder. The most common symptoms are: dysphagia, chest pain, reflux and weight loss. The esophageal manometry is the standard for diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of the surgical management in patients with achalasia in a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: A case series consisting of achalasia patients, treated surgically between January and December of 2011. Clinical charts were reviewed to obtain data and registries of the type of surgical procedure, morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Fourteen patients were identified, with an average age of 49.1 years. The most common symptoms were: dysphagia, vomiting, weight loss and pyrosis. Eight open approaches were performed and six by laparoscopy, with an average length of cardiomyotomy of 9.4 cm. Eleven patients received an antireflux procedure. The effectiveness of procedures performed was 85.7 %. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical management offered at this tertiary care hospital does not differ from that reported in other case series, giving effectiveness and safety for patients with achalasia.
Introducción: la acalasia es un trastorno motor primario del esófago. La sintomatología más frecuente es la disfagia, dolor torácico, reflujo y pérdida de peso. La manometría esofágica es el estándar para su diagnóstico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la eficacia del manejo quirúrgico de los pacientes con acalasia en nuestro centro hospitalario. Métodos: se realizó un estudio de serie de casos en el que se incluyeron pacientes con acalasia tratados de manera quirúrgica entre enero y diciembre de 2011. Se revisaron los expedientes para obtener los datos y registros del tipo de procedimiento quirúrgico realizado, morbilidad y mortalidad. Resultados: se incluyeron 14 pacientes con edad promedio de 49.1 años. Los síntomas predominantes fueron: disfagia, vómito, pérdida de peso y pirosis. Se realizaron ocho abordajes abiertos y seis laparoscópicos, con una longitud media de cardiomiotomía de 9.4 cm. Once pacientes recibieron un procedimiento antirreflujo concomitante. La efectividad de los procedimientos realizados fue del 85.7 %. Conclusiones: el manejo quirúrgico ofrecido en nuestro centro no difiere de lo reportado en otras series de caso, lo que otorga efectividad y seguridad a los pacientes tratados con acalasia.

BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is a serious public health issue in South and Central America due to its high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. The esophageal form of the disease leads to achalasia and consequent megaesophagus. In advanced or recurrent cases of megaesophagus, there is no consensus for which of three established techniques-the Serra-Dória procedure, subtotal esophagectomy, or Modified Thal cardioplasty-is best. Very few studies have investigated the average efficacy and long-term outcomes of the Thal procedure. The present study sought to bridge this gap. METHODS: The Modified Thal procedure was performed in 29 patients at Hospital Universitário de Brasília between 1998 and 2008. All underwent clinical and nutritional evaluation, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UDE) with chromoscopy, esophageal manometry, and 24-h pH monitoring. RESULTS: Overall, 86 % experienced resolution of all symptoms after surgery. Most patients were classified as Visick grade I, II, or III. The average body mass index was 22.7 kg/m(2). UDE showed normal mucosa in 76 % of patients, and 11 % had unstained areas on chromoscopy. Esophageal manometry demonstrated incomplete lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation in 50 % of patients, complete LES relaxation in 21 %, and no LES relaxation in 29 %. All showed complete relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter. On 24-h pH monitoring, reflux was pathological in 50 % of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the modified Thal procedure improved symptoms-namely, dysphagia to liquids with resulting weight loss and malnutrition-in patients with megaesophagus. No correlations were found between clinical complaints, endoscopic findings, and degree of manometric abnormality in these patients.

BACKGROUND: It has always been very controversial to choose an ideal operation for patients with no advanced recurrent megaesophagus after previous treatment. The various existing techniques and the different degrees of disease are the major factors to this difficulty. AIM: To evaluate the early and late results of the Serra-Doria esophagocardioplasty in patients who had recurrence of symptoms in non-advanced megaesophagus after having been submitted to cardiomyotomy. METHODS: Were studied 32 patients. The age ranged from 32 to 63 years. Nineteen had mild and 13 moderate dysphagia, and 14 had some degree of regurgitation. These subjects underwent the Serra-Doria esophagocardioplasty and were evaluated the local and systemic complications occurred postoperatively. RESULTS: After the procedure could be followed 27 patients, 22 began to show normal swallowing, five mild dysphagia and three remained with some regurgitation. No patient died. Three had early pneumonia and in one occurred anastomotic leak. CONCLUSIONS: The Serra-Doria esophagocardioplasty is adequate procedure for the surgical treatment of relapsed non advanced megaesophagus.

RACIONAL: Sempre foi muito controversa a escolha de uma operação ideal para portadores de megaesôfago não avançado com recidiva após tratamento prévio. As várias técnicas existentes e os diferentes graus da doença são os maiores fatores para essa dificuldade. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados precoces e tardios da esofagocardioplastia à Serra-Dória em pacientes que apresentaram recidiva dos sintomas de megaesôfago não avançado após terem sido previamente submetidos à cardiomiotomia. MÉTODO: Foram estudados 32 pacientes. A idade variou de 32 a 63 anos. Dezenove apresentavam disfagia moderada e 13 leve, sendo que 14 tinham algum grau de regurgitação. Esses indivíduos foram submetidos à esofagocardioplastia à Serra-Dória e foram avaliadas as complicações sistêmicas e locais ocorridas no pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: Após o procedimento, puderam ser acompanhados 27 pacientes, sendo que 22 passaram a apresentar deglutição normal, cinco disfagia leve e três permaneceram com alguma regurgitação. Nenhum paciente morreu. Três tiveram pneumonia precoce e em um cocorreu fístula anastomótica. CONCLUSÕES: A esofagocardioplastia à Serra-Dória é procedimento adequado para o tratamento cirúrgico do megaesôfago recidivado não avançado.

PURPOSE: Achalasia of the esophagus is characterized by aperistalsis and incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter in response to swallowing. The objective of the present study is to present the experience of a modified Heller myotomy via a laparoscopic approach for the treatment of children who had this condition. METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records of all patients who underwent this procedure from 2000 to 2009 was performed. The procedure consisted of an extended esophagomyotomy beginning on the lower part of the lower esophageal sphincter and continuing 5 to 6 cm above on the lower third of the esophagus, and then extended 3 to 4 cm below to the stomach, associated with an anterior 180-degree hemi-fundoplication according to Dor's technique. RESULTS: Fifteen patients were included in the study. There were 8 female and 7 male patients. Mean operating time was 190 minutes with no intraoperative complications and 1 conversion to open surgery because of difficulty in dissecting an inflamed distal esophagus. In a mean follow-up period of 32.3 months, 2 patients had recurrence of mild dysphagia that disappeared spontaneously, and 1 required a single botulinum toxin injection with complete resolution of symptoms. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the laparoscopic extended Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication is a safe and effective method for the treatment for achalasia in the pediatric population even in advanced cases.

Laparoscopic anterior cardiomyotomy in addition to anterior Dor's fundoplication is the procedure of choice for achalasia of the esophagus with approximately 95% success rate. Redo cardiomyotomy is complicated and associated with rerecurrence of dysphagia. Twelve patients with failed redo myotomy were clinically evaluated with radiology, endoscopy, and manometry in whom achalasia type III or IV was confirmed. We propose as treatment for these selected cases an inversed Y cardioplasty + truncal vagotomy, a partial distal gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy in order to facilitate esophageal emptying and avoid the appearance of postoperative gastroesophageal reflux as a side effect of this procedure. One patient was reoperated on in order to enlarge the cardioplasty. Disappearance of dysphagia was confirmed in all patients. Three patients presented reflux symptoms and were treated with 20 mg of Omeprazole 20 twice/day. No food retention, erosive esophagitis, or Barrett's esophagus were observed. The mean resting pressure decreased from 24.9 +/- 8.5 mm Hg to 7.5 +/- 2.5 mm Hg (P = 0.0001). Furthermore, esophageal diameter decreased significantly after a 5-year follow-up. This procedure could be an option for treating patients in which repeated Heller operations have failed.

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar os resultados da cardiomiotomia de Heller associada à fundoplicatura de Dor por Laparoscopia (HDL) no tratamento cirúrgico da acalásia do esôfago, através de escores de qualidade de vida e dados da esofagomanometria. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados retrospectivamente 60 pacientes operados por acalasia do cárdia, de 2001 a 2007, sendo analisadas no pré-operatório as características desta população e os resultados das provas diagnósticas. Aplicamos um escore de disfagia e de qualidade de vida no pré e pós-operatório e realizamos o estudo do comportamento da pressão do esfíncter esofageano inferior (Peei) no pré e pós operatório de todos os pacientes. RESULTADOS: Eram 37 do sexo feminino e 23 do masculino. A idade média foi 41,08 anos(12 a 87). Não houve mortalidade cirúrgica, nem conversões. Tempo médio de início da dieta foi de 1,6 dias. Considerado resultado excelente em 80 por cento da série, resultados intermediários em 20 por cento. A média do escore de disfagia no pré operatório foi de 9,03 pontos e a média de pós, foi de 1,7 pontos (máximo de 10 pontos), p=0,0001, sendo observada queda entre pré e pós-operatório de 7,33 pontos, 81,17 por cento. A média da Peei no pré-operatório foi de 32,41 mmhg e no pós 12,7 mmhg. CONCLUSÃO: A cirurgia HDL é procedimento seguro de ser realizado e apresentou bons resultados, sendo capaz de modificar os escores de qualidade de vida subjetivos, e os dados objetivos da Peei, de forma significativa.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of Heller's Cardiomyotomy with Dor fundoplication by laparoscopy (HDL) and to assess its impact on patients' quality of life and on esophageal manometry data. METHODS: 60 patients with esophageal achalasia, operated on between 2001 and 2007, were studied retrospectively. Before surgery, the demographics and the diagnostic test results were recorded. The patients submitted a dysphagia score for quality of life before and after surgery, and lower esophageal sphincter pressure (PLES) was measured. We also studied the difference produced in quality of life RESULTS: 37 women and 23 men were followed. Mean age was 41.08 (12-87). There was no mortality and no conversions. The mean time of diet resumption was 1.6 day. The outcome was considered excellent in 80 percent of the series and intermediate in 20 percent of the series. The mean dysphagia score before surgery was 9.03 points, and after surgery, 1.7 point (maximum of 10 points), p=0.0001. The mean score decrease between pre- and postoperative scores was 7.33 points (87.17 percent). The mean PLES before surgery was 32.41 mmHg, and 12.7 mmHg after. CONCLUSION: HDL is a safe procedure and changed significantly the subjective quality of life scores, as well as the objective PLES means.

INTRODUÇÃO: Muitos procedimentos cirúrgicos e endoscópicos bariátricos realizados atualmente diminuem o volume da luz gástrica de forma isolada ou associados a intervenção sobre o intestino. Uma forma de invaginação ou plicatura gástrica associada ao envolvimento protético do estômago foi usada para tratamento cirúrgico da obesidade. O procedimento foi abandonado devido à elevada taxa de complicações e re-intervenções causadas pelo contato da prótese com as vísceras abdominais. A fundoplicatura a Nissen usada para tratamento de refluxo gastroesofágico leva a emagrecimento pequeno, mas significativo. Na fundoplicatura a Nissen não são usados (e, portanto, não há complicações relacionadas a) secção, grampeamento, anastomose, bandas, anéis ou corpos estranhos. Neste trabalho formulamos a hipótese que a invaginação da grande curvatura gástrica levaria a perda de peso em ratos (Série A - primeira série de experimentos). Confirmada esta hipótese, testamos se a invaginação da parede gástrica anterior teria efeito semelhante (Série B - segunda série de experimentos). A invaginação da parede gástrica anterior evitaria a mobilização do grande omento. MÉTODO: Na Série A, trinta ratos foram sorteados em três grupos. Os dez ratos do primeiro grupo, chamado ACTR- ANEST, foram anestesiados e pesados. Aos dez ratos do segundo grupo, chamado A-CTR-LAP, foram adicionadas laparotomia e manipulação visceral à anestesia. Ao terceiro grupo, chamado A-INV-CURV, foi adicionada uma invaginação da grande curvatura gástrica à anestesia e laparotomia. Os animais da Série A foram pesados novamente no sétimo dia após os procedimentos; pesados, sacrificados e necropsiados no vigésimo - primeiro dia após os procedimentos. Na segunda série de experimentos (Série B), vinte ratos foram sorteados em dois grupos. A parede gástrica anterior foi invaginada em dez ratos no primeiro grupo (B-INV-ANT). A grande curvatura gástrica foi invaginada em dez ratos no segundo grupo (B-INV-CURV). ...
BACKGROUND: Many bariatric endoscopic or surgical procedures performed today reduce gastric luminal volume, alone or in combination with a distal enteric intervention. A form of prosthetic wrap of the folded (or plicated) stomach was used in the past for treating obesity with a high rate of prosthesis-related reintervention. Nissen gastric fundoplication used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease induces a small but significant weight loss without gastric stapling, partitioning, or prosthesis-related morbidity. We hypothesized greater gastric curvature invagination would lead to weight loss in rats (first series of experiments named Set A). Once confirmed this hypothesis, we compared anterior gastric wall and greater gastric curvature invaginations for weight loss (second series of experiments - Set B). The anterior invagination would be technically easier as it would avoid mobilization of the greater omentum. METHODS: In Set A, 30 rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. 10 rats in the first group (A-CTRANEST) were anesthetized and weighed. The rats from the second group (ACTR- LAP) were in addition submitted to a laparotomy plus visceral manipulation. In the third group (A-INV-CURV), invagination of the greater curvature of the stomach was added. All animals were weighed on the 7th and 21st days. They were then autopsied on the 21st day. In Set B, 20 rats were randomized in 2 groups. The anterior gastric wall of 10 rats was invaginated in the first group (B-INV-ANT). The greater gastric curvature of 10 rats was invaginated in the second group (B-INV-CURV). All animals were weighed weekly for 4 weeks. They were then autopsied on the 28th day. RESULTS: In Set A, the mean body weight of the A-INV-CURV (311,41g) group became less than the A-CTR-LAP (346,18g) and A-CTR-ANEST (362,48) groups, p<0,001 (repeated measures ANOVA).

Laparoscopic cardiomyotomy is the treatment of choice for patients with achalasia of the esophagus. Several different techniques and modifications have been reported concerning the approach (thoracoscopic or laparoscopic), type and length of the myotomy, with or without fundoplication, type of fundoplication, etc. In this prospective study, we report our simplified technique for anterior cardiomyotomy with Dor fundoplication and the results obtained using this procedure. Only the anterior wall of the esophagus was exposed without dissection of the lateral or posterior periesophageal anatomic structures for the technique. Twenty-five patients were operated by a single surgeon. The diagnosis was based on the clinical, radiologic, endoscopic, and functional esophageal tests. Achalasia was classified into 3 types: achalasia type I was diagnosed in 5 patients, type II in 6 patients, and type III in 14 patients. Manometry demonstrated a mean resting pressure of 33.5 mm Hg (range, 18 to 55), associated with incomplete relaxation. The hospital stay was 3 days; the median operative time was 115 minutes (range, 90 to 150), 2 small mucosal perforations occurred which were immediately sutured during surgery without conversion into open technique and no postoperative complications occurred. After operation, lower esophageal sphincter pressure returned to normal values and complete relaxation in all patients. In type II and III achalasia, the esophageal body diameter decreased more than 50% (P=0.001) compared with the preoperative diameter, and the internal diameter of the esophagogastric junction increased significantly (P=0.001). Only 2 patients presented occasional heartburn and 2 patients received 1 session of hydrostatic dilatation due to mild residual dysphagia. No late recurrence of dysphagia has been observed to the present time (1 to 5 y of follow-up). In conclusion, the goals of the surgery for achalasia are obtained with this simplified technique.

BACKGROUND: Many bariatric endoscopic or surgical procedures performed today reduce gastric capacity and/or induce an early sensation of gastric satiety, alone or in combination with a distal enteric intervention. A form of prosthetic wrap of the folded stomach was used in the past for treating obesity with a high rate of prosthesis-related reintervention. Nissen gastric fundoplication used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease induces a small but significant weight loss without gastric stapling, partitioning, or prosthesis-related morbidity. We recently reported greater gastric curvature invagination without stapling, partitioning or prosthesis use, for weight loss in rats. We now compare anterior gastric wall and greater gastric curvature invaginations for weight loss. The anterior invagination would be technically easier, should it be tested in humans. METHODS: 20 rats were randomized in 2 groups. The anterior gastric wall of 10 rats was invaginated in the first group (AGW). The greater gastric curvature of 10 rats was invaginated in the second group (GGC). All animals were weighed weekly for 4 weeks. They were then autopsied on the 28th day. RESULTS: The mean body weight of the GGC group became statistically less than the AGW group at 21 days. The mean weight of the peritesticular fat pad and the mean gastric volume were not statistically different at 28 days (autopsy). CONCLUSION: Greater gastric curvature invagination significantly reduces body weight compared to anterior gastric wall invagination at 21 days.

BACKGROUND: Many bariatric endocopic or surgical procedures performed today reduce gastric capacity and/or induce an early sensation of satiety, alone or in combination with a distal enteric intervention. A form of prosthetic gastric wrap was used in the past for treating obesity with a high rate of reintervention. Nissen gastric fundoplication used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease induces a small but significant weight loss. We report the effect of gastric greater curvature invagination on weight in rats. METHODS: 30 rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. 10 rats in the first group (sham) were anesthesized and weighed. The rats from the second group (lap) were in addition submitted to a laparotomy plus visceral manipulation. In the third group (inv), invagination of the greater curvature of the stomach was added. All animals were weighed on the 7th and 21st days. They were then autopsied on the 21st day. RESULTS: The mean body weight of the invagination group became statistically less than the laparotomy and sham groups at 7 and 21 days. The mean weight of the peritesticular fat pad from the inv group was also significantly less than from the sham group but not different from the lap group. CONCLUSION: Gastric greater curvature invagination significantly decreases weight in rats.

The occurrence of an oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma following liver transplantation is very infrequent. Such an event has been related to a history of alcohol-induced cirrhosis, as in other squamous cell tumours of the oropharynx. We report the case of a 64-year-old male patient diagnosed as having oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma six years after having had a liver transplant due to alcohol-induced cirrhosis. The tumour was treated surgically and consisted of an Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy. The patient is disease-free 17 months after surgery. A review of the cases reported in the literature indicated treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and with excision in some cases. Generally, despite aggressive treatment the prognosis is poor.
