RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of stress urinary incontinence after pelvic organ prolapse surgery using the laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy method. This is a retrospective multicenter study. METHODS: The study included 131 patients who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and underwent at least a one-year follow-up in the form of a clinical examination. RESULTS: The group included patients with an average age of 63.4 years (38-80 years), BMI 26.6 kg/m2 (19.4-36 kg/m2), and parity 2 (0-4). Before surgery, 30 (22.9%) patients showed stress incontinence, and after surgery there were 50 (38.2%); the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.0007). Thirty (22.9%) patients underwent subsequent anti-incontinence surgery, while 10 (7.6%) patients experienced significant improvement of stress incontinence. CONCLUSION: Pelvic organ prolapse reconstruction surgery by laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is associated with the risk of postoperative stress incontinence in 38.2%, of which de novo in 22.9% of cases.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgical techniques have been widely adopted in colorectal surgery. New technological breakthroughs have led to even less invasive alternatives like single-port surgery, but this has been hindered by technical challenges such as the collision of robotic arms within a limited space. The Intuitive da Vinci Single-Port robotic platform is a novel system that overcomes some of these challenges. IMPACT OF INNOVATION: This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of the Intuitive da Vinci Single-Port robotic platform in right segmental colectomies among adult patients. These findings may set the stage for more widespread use of single-port robotic surgery. TECHNOLOGY, MATERIALS, AND METHODS: The Intuitive da Vinci Single-Port robot is a system designed specifically for single-port robotic surgery. This platform enables flexible port location and efficient internal and external range of motion using a single C-shaped arm. In the present study, right colectomies were performed in adult patients using this platform between May 2022 and November 2022, and they were compared to right colectomies in adult patients performed using the standard multiport platform between January 2019 and December 2022. The main outcome measure was safety and quality event rates. PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Of 30 patients, 16.7% of patients (n = 5) underwent single-port robotic right colectomy and 83.3% (n = 25) underwent multiport right colectomy. In the single-port group, 40% of patients (n = 2) developed a safety/quality event (postoperative portal vein thrombosis and excessive postoperative pain). In the multiport group, 32% of patients (n = 8) developed 1 safety/quality event and 8% (n = 2) had more than 1 event. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS: This preliminary study, one of the first Food and Drug Administration-approved, investigator-initiated uses of this platform in colorectal surgeries, shows that this platform is a safe and feasible option for right colectomies. On preliminary evaluation, it appears comparable in terms of relevant safety/quality events to the multiport platform. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT05321134.

To investigate the safety of pancreatic body suspension (PBS) technique in laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization for patients. A retrospective study inclusive of 16 patients who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization from 2017 to 2022 was performed. A total of 5 patients underwent PBS technique and 11 underwent the traditional technique. There was no significant difference in age, sex, body mass index (BMI), preoperative serum white cell count (WBC), platelets (PLT), hemoglobin (HB), albumin (ALB), prothrombin time (PT), total bilirubin (TBIL), or spleen size between the 2 groups (Pâ >â .05). In the PBS group, the operation time was 280 minutes. The estimated intraoperative blood loss (EBL) was 250 mL. The mean postoperative hospitalization length was 11.2 days. There was no conversion to an open procedure or postoperative bleeding. In the traditional method group, the mean operation time was 240.91 minutes. The EBL was 290.91 mL. There were 2 cases of conversion to open, 3 cases of postoperative bleeding, and 1 reoperation. The incidence of postoperative short-term complications (postoperative bleeding, reoperation) was significantly higher in the traditional method group than in the PBS group (36.36% vs 0%, Pâ =â .034). PBS technique improved the safety of laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial dissection and is worthy of clinical promotion.

PURPOSE: Divided sigmoidostomy (DS) is the classic stoma for patients with anorectal malformations (ARM). Loop sigmoidostomies (LS) in ARM are associated with a higher risk of stoma prolapse and urinary tract infections (UTI). This is not clearly supported by literature. We compared our experience with both techniques. METHODS: Retrospective study of ARM patients who underwent DS or LS between 2013 and 2023. We analysed demographics, associated malformations, intraoperative variables, oral intake and stoma functioning times, hospital stay, complications, prolapses, and UTI. RESULTS: Of 40 patients, 29 underwent open DS and 11 laparoscopic LS. Demographics, malformation type, associated anomalies, surgical time, intraoperative and anaesthetic complications were comparable. Postoperative complications were higher in DS than LS [14(48.3%) vs 1(9.1%), (p = 0.02)], mostly due to wound complications [12(41.3%) vs 0(0%), (p = 0.01)]; with 3 dehiscenses and 3 strictures reintervened. The hours to oral intake and stoma functioning were higher for DS [48(39-90) and 48(24-48) vs 24(24-48) and 24(24-24), (p < 0.05)], with more days of hospital stay [36(19-60) vs 8(5-10), (p = 0.001)]. Prolapses [1(3.4%) vs 1(9.1%)] and UTIs [3(10.3%) vs 1(9.1%) (p > 0.05)] were comparable. CONCLUSION: LS in ARM patients have no higher risk of prolapse or UTI than DS. DS had more complications, mostly wound infections, strictures and dehiscenses.

BACKGROUND: Degenerative severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) is increasingly prevalent in the aging population, leading to the adoption of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as a less invasive alternative. While TAVR indications have expanded, the procedure is associated with a substantial incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The study aims to establish a preoperative risk-stratification system for TAVR candidates based on Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SLV) and other relevant factors. METHODS: A total of 181 consecutive patients who underwent TAVR were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline characteristics, preoperative electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography findings, and TAVR procedures were assessed. Low SLV (<3.5 mV) was defined based on ECG measurements. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics revealed a mean age of 84 years, with 71.8% females. The two-year incidence of MACE defined as a composite of cardiac death and hospitalization due to heart failure, was 11.6%, significantly higher in the low SLV group. Low SLV emerged as an independent prognostic factor. The Tokyo Bay Risk (TBR) Score, including low SLV, Body Mass Index <18.5 kg/m2, and previous coronary artery disease, effectively stratified MACE risk. Higher TBR scores (2 or 3) correlated with increased MACE risk. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with low SLV in pre-procedural ECG demonstrated a heightened risk of two-year MACE. The TBR score, incorporating low SLV, proved valuable for preoperative risk assessment. Careful consideration of TAVR indications, along with TBR score integration, is crucial for optimizing outcomes.

PURPOSE: Choosing the best stump closure method for laparoscopic appendectomy has been a debated issue, especially for patients with acute appendicitis. The lack of consensus in the literature and the diverse techniques available have prompted the need for a comprehensive evaluation to guide surgeons in selecting the most optimal appendiceal stump closure method. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted on multiple databases from inception until December 2023 to find relevant studies according to eligibility criteria. The primary outcome was the incidence of total complications. RESULTS: 25 studies with a total of 3308 patients were included in this study, overall complications did not reveal a significant advantage for any intervention (RR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.53; 1.01), Superficial and deep infection risks were similar across all methods, Operative time was significantly longer with endoloop and Intracorporeal sutures (MD = 7.07, 95% CI: 3.28; 10.85) (MD = 26.1, 95% CI: 20.9; 31.29). CONCLUSIONS: There are no significant differences in overall complications among closure methods. However, Intracorporeal sutures and endoloop techniques were associated with extended operative durations.

BACKGROUND: Tension-free vaginal tape-Abbrevo (TVT-A) and tension-free vaginal tape-Obturator (TVT-O) are the main procedures for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in females. This study investigated the clinical efficacy of TVT-A versus TVT-O for the treatment of SUI in elderly women. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 126 cases of SUI in elderly female patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. The patients were divided into TVT-A group (65 cases) and TVT-O group (61 cases) according to the surgical methods. Follow-up was conducted via outpatient examination and telephone. Perioperative conditions, surgical outcomes, postoperative complications and quality of life were analysed and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: No statistically significant difference in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, indwelling catheter duration, average hospital days, bladder injury, urethral injury, incision infection, dysuria, cured rate and quality of life was found between the two groups (p > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative groin pain in the TVT-A group was significantly lower than that in the TVT-O group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The efficacy of TVT-A and TVT-O in treating SUI in older women is about the same. However, TVT-A is more minimally invasive, safer and has fewer complications.

OBJECTIVE: Renal calculi are solid crystals that form in the kidneys and cause severe pain and discomfort. This study aims to investigate risk factors for postoperative recurrence of renal calculi in elderly patients and provide background knowledge on the prevalence and management of renal calculi in this demographic. METHODS: The clinical data of 123 elderly patients with renal calculi were included from 1 June 2021 to 1 June 2023 for their 6-month follow-up study. The patients were divided into recurrence group and non-recurrence group according to whether they had recurrence after surgery. The general sociological characteristics and disease-related characteristics of the two groups were counted. Logistic regression equation was used to calculate differences, and the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence in elderly patients with kidney stones were obtained. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyse the value of the factors in predicting postoperative recurrence in patients with kidney stones. RESULTS: A total of 123 elderly patients with renal calculi were enrolled. The patients were divided according to the presence or absence of stone recurrence into the recurrence group (25 cases, 20.33%) and the non-recurrence group (98 cases, 79.67%). Postoperative water intake, excessive intake of animal protein, exercise and postoperative complications significantly differed between the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the above-mentioned indicators were the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence. The area under the curve (AUC) values of postoperative water intake (AUC = 0.767), animal protein intake (AUC = 0.752), exercise (AUC = 0.707) and postoperative complications (AUC = 0.727) were statistically significant, and they were identified as the most important factors with high sensitivity and specificity and were of high value in predicting postoperative recurrence of renal calculi. CONCLUSIONS: Elderly patients with kidney stones are prone to recurrence after surgery. Influencing factors should be given attention, and corresponding measures should be formulated for intervention as soon as possible.

OBJECTIVE: Currently, the factors influencing poor drainage of ureteral stents after radical cystectomy with cutaneous ureterostomy are still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for poor drainage of ureteral stents after radical cystectomy with cutaneous ureterostomy and to provide evidence for the prevention of this complication. METHODS: This retrospective study included 86 patients who underwent periodic replacement of ureteral stents following radical cystectomy with cutaneous ureterostomy between October 2017 and March 2024. The general data and related indicators of the patients were collected, the risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and corresponding interventions were proposed. RESULTS: Among the 86 patients, 26 had poor drainage of ureteral stents, with an incidence rate of 30.23%, and no serious consequences occurred after timely and effective treatment. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.003, odds ratio (OR) = 2.909, 95% CI: 1.435-5.898), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.012, OR = 14.073, 95% CI: 1.770-111.889), urinary tract infection (p = 0.004, OR = 16.792, 95% CI: 2.402-117.411), and foreign body blockage (p = 0.048, OR = 5.277, 95% CI: 1.012-27.512) were independent risk factors for poor drainage of ureteral stents. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of poor drainage of ureteral stents after radical cystectomy with cutaneous ureterostomy is relatively high. Maintenance of a healthy weight, strict management of blood glucose levels, active prevention of urinary tract infections, and timely detection and removal of small foreign bodies that may be present are essential to prevent this complication.

PURPOSE: To describe our experience over 6 years using a new high-density polyethylene-based spherical integrated porous orbital implants (Oculfit). METHODS: This is an observational retrospective case series study analyzing all cases requiring Oculfit implants between February 2015 and September 2021. Clinical information regarding the population included, the characteristics of the implant, and the outcomes and complications during the follow-up were noted. The success of the implant was defined according to anatomical and functional parameters. RESULTS: The study analyzed 90 cases of anophthalmic patients. The main causes for enucleation or evisceration were ocular decompensations (36.7%) and neoplasms (27.8% uveal melanoma and 7.8% retinoblastoma). Anatomical success was identified in 63 (70.0%) cases, functional success in 79 (87.8%) and complete success (anatomical + functional) in 61 (67.7%) cases. Factors associated with the functional success were age and exposure of the primary orbital implant. Complications appeared in 11 (12.2%) cases, which were completely resolved without sequelae in 4 (4.4%). Orbital explant was required in 5 (5.6%) cases. CONCLUSION: In our experience, Oculfit can be considered a useful alternative among the currently available options for orbital implants and has a good efficacy/safety profile.

The management of noninfectious complications in kidney transplant recipients includes a broad spectrum of conditions, including metabolic issues, cardiovascular diseases, and malignancies, each presenting unique challenges for nephrologists managing these patients. Unlike infectious complications, these noninfectious issues require nuanced, multidisciplinary approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and management, emphasizing the need for personalized care plans. Cardiovascular disease is particularly significant, standing as the primary cause of death post-transplantation, with recent data indicating an overtaking of cancer death rates over infections among kidney transplant recipients. The intricacies of managing these patients, influenced by the burden of kidney disease and immunosuppression, highlight the importance of a collaborative care model. Although nephrologists may not directly treat all these conditions, their understanding of the unique aspects of transplant recipients is crucial. They play a pivotal role in coordinating care with specialists such as cardiologists, endocrinologists, hematologists, and oncologists, ensuring comprehensive management that addresses these specific post-transplant complications. This review discusses the epidemiology, underlying mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and management strategies of various noninfectious complications post-kidney transplant, with a focus on cardiovascular, metabolic, oncologic, and hematologic complications.

BACKGROUND: Elevated body mass index (BMI) is a known perioperative risk factor for complications such as delayed wound healing and infection. However, there is a gap in understanding how elevated BMI impacts outcomes after posttraumatic lower extremity (LE) microvascular reconstruction. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed at a level 1 trauma center between 2007 and 2022 of patients who underwent posttraumatic microvascular LE reconstruction. Demographics, flap/wound details, complications, and outcomes were recorded. Patients were stratified into BMI Center for Disease Control categories. RESULTS: A total of 398 patients were included with an average BMI of 28.2 ± 5.8. Nearly half (45%) of LE defects were located in the distal third of the leg, 27.5% in the middle third, and 34.4% in the proximal third. Most reconstructions utilized muscle-containing flaps (74.4%) compared with fasciocutaneous flaps (16.8%). Surgical approaches included free flaps (47.6%) and local flaps (52.5%). Class III obese patients were significantly more likely to be nonambulatory than nonobese patients (OR: 4.10, 95% CI 1.10-15.2, p = 0.035). At final follow-up, 30.1% of patients with Class III obesity were ambulatory, requiring either wheelchairs (42.3%) or assistance devices (26.9%). There were no significant differences in complication rates based on obesity status (0.704). The average follow-up time for the entire cohort was 5.8 years. CONCLUSIONS: BMI is critical for patient care and surgical decision-making in LE reconstruction. Further research is warranted to optimize outcomes for higher BMI patients, thereby potentially reducing the burden of postoperative complications and enhancing overall patient recovery.

BACKGROUND: Drains are used to reduce abdominal collections after procedures where such risk exists. Using abdominal drains after cholecystectomy has been controversial since the open surgery era. Universally accepted indications and agreement exist that routine drainage is unnecessary but the role of selective drainage remains undetermined. This study evaluates the indications and benefits of sub-hepatic drainage in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and bile duct exploration (BDE) in a specialist unit with a large biliary emergency workload. METHODS: Prospectively collected data from 6,140 LCs with a 46.6% emergency workload over 30 years was reviewed. Demographic factors, pre-operative presentations, imaging and operative details in patients with and without drains were compared. Sub-hepatic drains were inserted after all transductal explorations, subtotal cholecystectomies, almost all open conversions and 94% of LC for empyemas. Adverse or beneficial postoperative drain-related outcomes were analysed. RESULTS: Abdominal drains were utilised in 3225/6140 (52.5%). Patients were significantly older with more males. 59.4% were emergency admissions. Preoperative imaging showed thick-walled gallbladders in 25.2% and bile duct stones or dilatation in 36.2%. At operation they had cystic duct stones in 19.8%, acute cholecystitis, empyema or mucocele in 28.4% and operative difficulty grades III or higher in 59%. 38% underwent BDE, 5.4% had fundus-first dissection and the operating times were longer ( 80 vs.45 min). Drain related complications were rare; 3 abdominal pains after anaesthetic recovery settling when drains were removed, 2 drain site infections and one re-laparoscopy to retrieve a retracted drain. 55.8% of 43 bile leaks and 35% of 20 other collections in patients with drains resolved spontaneously. CONCLUSIONS: The utilisation of drains in this study was relatively high due to the high emergency workload and interest in BDE. While drains allowed early detection of bile leakage, avoiding some complications and monitoring conservative management to allow early reinterventions, the study has identified operative criteria that could potentially limit drain insertion through a selective policy.

There are controversies regarding the impact of sex on mortality and postoperative complications in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), although some studies demonstrate comparable outcomes. This study sought to evaluate sex differences regarding risk factors associated with hospital mortality and postoperative clinical outcomes among patients undergoing isolated on-pump CABG. We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of patients who underwent isolated on-pump CABG from January 1996 to January 2020. Patients were divided into two groups (male and female) and compared regarding preoperative characteristics, surgical technical variables, and in-hospital outcomes. All-cause mortality between groups was compared using logistic regression. Risk factors for mortality, along with their respective odds ratios (OR), were separately assessed using a logistic regression model with p-values for interaction. We analyzed 4,882 patients, of whom 31.6% were female. Women exhibited a higher prevalence of age >75 years (12.2% vs 8.3%, p<0.001), obesity (22.6% vs 11.5%, p<0.001), diabetes (41.6% vs 32.2%, p<0.001), hypertension (85.2% vs 73.5%, p<0.001), and NYHA functional classes 3 and 4 (16.2% vs 11.2%, p<0.001) compared to men. Use of the mammary artery for revascularization was less frequent among women (73.8% vs 79.9%, p<0.001), who also received fewer saphenous vein grafts (2.17 vs 2.27, p = 0.002). A history of previous or recent myocardial infarction (MI) had an impact on women's mortality, unlike in men (OR 1.61 vs 0.94, p = 0.014; OR 1.86 vs 0.99, p = 0.015, respectively). After adjusting for several risk factors, mortality was found to be comparable between men and women, with an OR of 1.20 (95% CI 0.94-1.53, p = 0.129). In conclusion, female patients undergoing isolated on-pump CABG presented with a higher number of comorbidities. Previous and recent MI were associated with higher mortality only in women. In this cohort analysis, female gender was not identified as an independent risk factor for outcome after CABG.

PURPOSE: Conventional minimally invasive surgery requires mini-laparotomy to extract the pathological specimen. However, by using a natural orifice as the delivery route, natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) surgery avoids the need for a large incision. This study analyzed the short-term outcome of NOSE compared with conventional mini-laparotomy (CL) for colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1,189 patients who underwent surgery for primary colorectal cancer between the cecum and upper rectum. Propensity score analyses were applied to the NOSE and CL groups in a 1:1 matched cohort. RESULTS: After propensity score matching, each group included 201 patients. The NOSE group and CL group did not differ significantly in terms of baseline characteristics. Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were comparable. Compared with the CL group, the NOSE group experienced a shorter time to first flatus (1.6 ± 0.8 vs. 2.0 ± 1.2 days, p < 0.001), first stool (2.7 ± 1.5 vs. 4.1 ± 1.9, p < 0.001), liquid diet (2.3 ± 1.3 vs. 3.6 ± 1.8 days, p < 0.001), soft diet (3.9 ± 2.0 vs. 5.2 ± 1.9 days, p < 0.001) and a shorter hospital stay (5.1 ± 3.5 vs. 7.4 ± 4.8 days, p < 0.001). The NOSE group exhibited lower mean pain intensity and lower highest pain intensity on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3. CONCLUSION: NOSE has several advantages over conventional mini-laparotomy following minimally invasive surgery for colon cancer. These advantages include reduced time to oral intake, shorter hospital stays, and less postoperative pain. NOSE can be adopted and applied to highly selective patients without additional risk of short-term complications.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of Endoscopic Nasobiliary Drainage (ENBD) and Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography Drainage (PTCD) in patients with advanced Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) through a meta-analysis of clinical studies. METHODS: We searched Chinese and English databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science, for relevant literatures on PTCD and ENBD for advanced HCCA clinical trials. Two investigators independently screened the literatures, and the quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The primary endpoint was the success rate of biliary drainage operation, while secondary endpoints included Total Bilirubin (TBIL) change, acute pancreatitis, biliary tract infection, hemobilia, and other complications. R software was used for data analysis. RESULTS: A comprehensive database search, based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, yielded 26 articles for this study. Analysis revealed that PTCD had a significantly higher success rate than ENBD [OR (95% CI) = 2.63 (1.98, 3.49), Z=6.70, P<0.05]. PTCD was also more effective in reducing TBIL levels post-drainage [SMD (95%CI) =-0.13 (-0.23, -0.03), Z=-2.61, P<0.05]. While ENBD demonstrated a lower overall complication rate [OR (95%CI) = 0.60 (0.43, 0.84), Z=-2.99, P<0.05], it was associated with a significantly lower incidence of post-drainage biliary hemorrhage compared to PTCD [OR=3.02, 95%CI: (1.94-4.71), Z= 4.89, P<0.01]. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety of ENBD and PTCD for palliative treatment of advanced HCCA. While both are effective, PTCD showed superiority in achieving successful drainage, reducing TBIL, and lowering the incidence of acute pancreatitis and biliary infections. However, ENBD had a lower risk of post-drainage bleeding. Clinicians should weigh these risks and benefits when choosing between ENBD and PTCD for individual patients. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore long-term outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative time to extubation plays a role in prognosis after heart valve surgery; however, its exact impact has not been clarified. This study compared the postoperative outcomes of minimally invasive surgery and conventional sternotomy, focusing on early extubation and factors influencing prolonged mechanical ventilation. METHODS: Data from 744 patients who underwent heart valve surgery at the Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital between August 2019 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The outcomes in patients who underwent conventional median sternotomy (MS) and minimally invasive (MI) video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery were compared using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and Kaplan-Meier curves. Clinical data, including surgical data, postoperative cardiac function, postoperative complications, and intensive care monitoring data, were analyzed. RESULTS: After propensity score matching and IPTW, 196 cases of conventional MS were compared with 196 cases of MI video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Compared to patients in the conventional MS group, those in the MI video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery group in the matched cohort had a higher early postoperative extubation rate (P < 0.01), reduced incidence of postoperative pleural effusion (P < 0.05), significantly shorter length of stay in the intensive care unit (P < 0.01), shorter overall length of hospital stay (P < 0.01), and lower total cost of hospitalization (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Successful early tracheal extubation is important for the intensive care management of patients after heart valve surgery. The advantages of MI video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery over conventional MS include significant reductions in the duration of use of mechanical ventilation support, reduced length of intensive care unit stay, reduced total length of hospitalization, and a favorable patient recovery rate.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the short-term efficacy for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) who accepted laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) after neoadjuvant SOX versus SOX plus immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). METHODS: LAGC patients who accepted LG after neoadjuvant SOX (SOX-LG, n = 169) and SOX plus ICIs (SOX + ICIs-LG, n = 140) in three medical centers between Jan 2020 and Mar 2024 were analyzed. We compared the tumor regression, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), perioperative safety between two groups, and explored the risk factors of postoperative complications (POCs) for LG after neoadjuvant therapy. RESULTS: The baseline characteristics were comparable between two groups (P > 0.05). SOX + ICIs-LG group acquired a higher proportion of objective response (63.6% vs. 46.7%, P = 0.003), major pathological response (43.6% vs. 31.4%, P = 0.001), and pathological complete response (17.9% vs. 9.5%, P = 0.030). There were no significant differences in the TRAEs rates, operation time, R0 resection, retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative first flatus, and hospitalized days, overall and severe POCs between two groups (P > 0.05). Patients in the SOX-ICIs-LG group had lower estimated blood loss (EBL) compared with SOX-LG (P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that more EBL (P = 0.003) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) < 40 (P = 0.005) were independent risk factors of POCs for LG after neoadjuvant therapy. CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant SOX plus ICIs brings better tumor regression and similar TRAEs compared with SOX alone for LAGC. SOX + ICIs-LG is safe and feasible to conduct with less EBL. Surgeons should focus on the perioperative management to control POCs for patients with PNI < 40 and more EBL.
