RESUMO

Laparoscopic hepatectomy brings many physiologic advantages over open hepatectomy and adheres to all oncologic principles. It is currently considered the standard of care. However, these are technically difficult operations to perform. Consequently, the expertise may not be universally available for all patients to benefit from laparoscopic hepatectomy. We report a unique situation where remote mentoring was used to guide bariatric surgeons in Jamaica to complete a laparoscopic hepatectomy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: At present benign and malignant pancreatobiliar diseases, required a multidisciplinary management, and the different techniques to solve this pathology has been improve with new technology and surgeons training. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to describe that de minimally invasive surgery on benign and malignant pancreatobiliar diseases is feasible and offer good results. METHOD: In Hospital regional ISSSTE Puebla from July 2013 to July 2018, 30 consecutive patients with different pancreas and biliary pathologies have been operated by totally laparoscopic, by the same surgeon and surgical team, and following for up to 4 years. RESULTS: None all the patients presented sever complications during surgery or after immediate surgery and no reoperations. Surgical time and blood loss was acceptable. CONCLUSION: The results we obtained are positive and encouraging because the morbidity and mortality are similar to the different sources we reviewed, nevertheless, this study is our initial experience and we required more cases to obtain a significant sample.

ANTECEDENTES: En la actualidad las enfermedades benignas y malignas de las vías biliares y del páncreas requieren un manejo multidisciplinario, y las técnicas para resolver este tipo de padecimientos han avanzado gracias al mejoramiento en la tecnología y la capacidad del personal humano. OBJETIVO: El propósito de este trabajo es presentar varios casos y demostrar que la cirugía de mínima invasión en patología benigna y maligna pancreatobiliar es viable y se pueden obtener adecuados resultados. MÉTODO: De julio de 2013 a julio de 2018, 30 pacientes consecutivos han sido intervenidos quirúrgicamente por vía laparoscópica por diversas enfermedades que involucran páncreas y vías biliares, por el mismo cirujano y equipo quirúrgico, con un seguimiento de hasta 4 años. RESULTADOS: Ninguno de los pacientes intervenidos presentó complicaciones graves en el transoperatorio ni en el posquirúrgico inmediato, ninguno fue sometido a una segunda cirugía y los tiempos quirúrgicos y el sangrado fueron aceptables. CONCLUSIÓN: Los resultados son positivos y muy alentadores, ya que la morbilidad fue muy similar a la de las series que se revisaron; sin embargo, este estudio es nuestra experiencia inicial y requerimos aumentar el número de casos para obtener una muestra significativa.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Multiple simulation training programs have demonstrated that effective transfer of skills can be attained and applied into a more complex scenario, but evidence regarding transfer to the operating room is limited. OBJECTIVE: To assess junior residents trained with simulation performing an advanced laparoscopic procedure in the OR and compare results to those of general surgeons without simulation training and expert laparoscopic surgeons. METHODS: Experimental study: After a validated 16-session advanced laparoscopy simulation training program, junior trainees were compared to general surgeons (GS) with no simulation training and expert bariatric surgeons (BS) in performing a stapled jejuno-jejunostomy (JJO) in the OR. Global rating scale (GRS) and specific rating scale scores, operative time and the distance traveled by both hands measured with a tracking device, were assessed. In addition, all perioperative and immediate postoperative morbidities were registered. RESULTS: Ten junior trainees, 12 GS and 5 BS experts were assessed performing a JJO in the OR. All trainees completed the entire JJO in the OR without any takeovers by the BS. Six (50 %) BS takeovers took place in the GS group. Trainees had significantly better results in all measured outcomes when compared to GS with considerable higher GRS median [19.5 (18.8-23.5) vs. 12 (9-13.8) p < 0.001] and lower operative time. One morbidity was registered; a patient in the trainees group was readmitted at postoperative day 10 for mechanical ileus that resolved with medical treatment. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated transfer of advanced laparoscopic skills acquired through a simulated training program in novice surgical residents to the OR.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intensive training programs arose from limitations in access to simulation centers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect and associated factors involved in an intensive course for learning advanced laparoscopic skills, which include validated teaching techniques. METHODS: General surgeons and final-year residents were analyzed after completing an intensive 5-session advanced laparoscopy course. Initial (IA) and final assessment (FA) consisted in performing a jejunojejunal anastomosis in a live porcine model, measured using objective structured assessment of technical skill (OSATS) (GRS and SRS, that is, global rating scale and specific rating scale, respectively) and operative time (OT). The 3-session training was structured in a bench model with an ex vivo bowel. For the demographic analysis, 3 groups were defined according to the presentation of relevant changes in OSATS and in OT between IA and FA: group A, no changes; group B, change in 1 variable; and group C, change in both variables. RESULTS: After the course, all 114 participants presented a significant improvement in OT (37 vs 24.6min, p < 0.001) and in OSATS; global rating scale (10.5 vs 16 points; p < 0.001) and Specific Rating Scale (8.5 vs 12.7 points; p < 0.001). In the IA, 70 (61%) participants completed the jejunojejunal anastomosis and 105(92%) in the FA (p < 0.01). In the FA, 56% of participants presented relevant changes in both variables (group C). This group was significantly younger (34 vs 45 vs 40y old; p < 0.001), had fewer years of surgical experience (2 vs 9 vs 5y; p < 0.001), and had a proportionally higher concentration of residents (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: This intensive course is set out as a viable alternative to teach basic skills in advanced laparoscopy in a short period of time, which is ideal for surgeons with difficult access to training centers. It remains necessary to establish the participant profile for which this type of course is most beneficial.
