Project description:We present a 61-year-old man who was diagnosed with synchronous prostate cancer and suspicious renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney, treated with combined Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). The combined approach using RS-RARP and RAPN is technically feasible and safe surgical option for treatment of concomitant prostate cancer and suspicious renal cell carcinoma.

Project description:Open resection of a large lipoma requires a large incision that may result in disfigurement from the scar. Endoscopic resection of the lipoma can have better cosmetic results. However, piecemeal removal of the lipoma has the disadvantage of fragmentation of the tumor before it can be determined whether it is benign or malignant. In this Technical Note, the technical details of endoscopically assisted en bloc resection of an anterior knee lipoma are described. This can provide a whole-block specimen for histologic examination.

Project description:BackgroundTo compare the postoperative continence and clinical outcomes of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RS-RALP) with non-RS RALP for patients with prostate cancer.MethodsWe searched PUBMED, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register from 1999 to 2019 for studies comparing RS-RALP to non-RS RALP for the treatment of prostate cancer. We used RevMan 5.2 to pool the data.ResultsA total of seven studies involving 1620 patients were included in our meta-analysis. No significant difference was found in positive surgical margins (PSM), bilateral nerve-sparing, postoperative hernia, complications, blood loss, or operative time. Postoperative continence was better with RS-RALP compared with non-RS RALP (OR = 1.02, OR: 2.86, 95% CI 1.94-4.20, p < 0.05).ConclusionsRS-RALP had a better recovery of postoperative continence than non-RS RALP. The perioperative outcomes were comparable for the two methods.

Project description:The prognosis of aggressive benign and low-grade malignant tumors in the spine as in the limbs, seems to be mostly related to the feasibility of en bloc resection, while in the treatment of high-grade malignant tumors the protocols of treatment include the combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Indications, criteria of feasibility and surgical technique are extensively reported for the thoracic and lumbar spine. In the cervical spine few cases are reported of resection, due not only to anatomical constraint, but also to the rarity of finding a tumor accomplishing the criteria of feasibility. A case of double-approach vertebrectomy finalized to remove en bloc the body of C4 for a stage IA chordoma is reported. The first stage was posterior, aiming to remove the posterior healthy elements by piecemeal technique. The anterior approach consisted of contemporary right and left prevascular presternocleidomastoid approaches The specimen was submitted for the histological study of the margins, which resulted tumor-free. This technical note is finalized to confirm that en bloc resection of the vertebral body through total vertebrectomy is feasible in the midcervical spine by double approaches, provided the tumor involves only layers B and C, maximum extension sectors 5-8.

Project description:Neurilemmoma (schwannoma) is a benign, slow-growing, encapsulated tumor originating from the Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the technique of endoscopic en-bloc resection of neurilemmoma of the foot dorsum. This has the advantage of better cosmetic result and less postoperative perineural fibrosis.

Project description:Lipoma is benign soft-tissue tumor that consists entirely of mature fat and can occur in a superficial or deep location. Lipoma of the foot and ankle can even develop within a tendon sheath or joint. Classically, lipoma is resected via open approach, which may result in a lengthy disfiguring surgical scar. Endoscopic en-bloc tumor resection is a minimally invasive approach and can provide a whole block specimen for histologic examination. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of endoscopic en-bloc resection of lipoma of the tibialis anterior tendon.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this paper was to describe the operative details for en bloc removal of the adnexal tumor, uterus, pelvic peritoneum, and rectosigmoid colon with colorectal anastomosis in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients with widespread pelvic involvement.MethodsThe patient presented with good performance status and huge pelvic tumor extensively infiltrating into adjacent pelvic organs and obliterating the cul-de-sac. The patient underwent en bloc pelvic resection as primary cytoreductive surgery. En bloc pelvic resection procedure is initiated by carrying a circumscribing peritoneal incision to include all pan-pelvic disease within this incision. After retroperitoneal pelvic dissection, the round ligaments and infundibulopelvic ligaments are divided. The ureters are dissected and mobilized from the peritoneum. After dissecting off the anterior pelvic peritoneum overlying the bladder with its tumor nodules, the bladder is mobilized caudally and the vesicovaginal space is developed. The uterine vessels are divided at the level of the ureters, and the paracervical tissues (or parametria) are divided. The proximal sigmoid colon is divided above the most proximal extent of gross tumor using a ligating and dividing stapling device. The sigmoid mesentery is ligated and divided including the superior rectal vessels. The pararectal and retrorectal spaces are further developed and dissected down to the level of the pelvic floor. The posterior dissection is progressed and moves to the right and then to the left of the rectum. The rectal pillars including the middle rectal vessels are ligated and divided. Hysterectomy is completed in a retrograde fashion. The distal rectum is divided using a linear stapler. The specimen is removed en bloc with the uterus, adnexa, pelvic peritoneum, rectosigmoid colon, and tumor masses leaving a macroscopically tumor-free pelvis. Colorectal anastomosis was completed using stapling device.ResultsEn bloc pelvic resection was performed by total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic peritonectomy, and rectosigmoid colectomy with colorectal anastomosis using a stapling device. Complete clearance of pelvic disease leaving no gross residual disease was possible using en bloc pelvic resection.ConclusionEn bloc pelvic resection is effective for achieving maximal cytoreduction with the elimination of the pelvic disease in advanced primary ovarian cancer patients with extensive pelvic organ involvement.

Project description:BackgroundGastrointestinal schwannomas are submucosal tumors accounting for 2-7% of mesenchymal gastro-intestinal neoplasms; the stomach being the most common site. Esophageal schwannomas are more frequent in women, and are usually located in the upper to mid portion. Dysphagia is the main presenting symptom. A definitive diagnosis requires confirmation by histopathological and immunohistochemical studies.Case presentationA 50-year-old healthy lady, presented with gradual increasing onset of dyspnea, with minimal dysphagia to solid food, over a period of several years. Enhanced CT scan of the chest revealed a well-defined soft tissue mass arising from the proximal third of the esophagus, measuring 7.8 × 5.4 x 10.5 cm. Esophagogastric endoscopy with ultrasonography showed an elevated, smooth surface lesion, arising from the submucosal layer of the esophagus, with a hypervascular mucosa. Enucleation of this large tumor, with preservation of the overlying mucosa, was difficult to accomplish due to its large size. Making use of a dilated proximal esophageal segment, total en-bloc excision of the mass rendered a 15 cm esophagotomy gap, which was easily closed, in two layers, without affecting the overall caliber thus achieving a good esophagoplasty result. Histologically, abundance of spindle-shaped cells with positive S-100 proteins, confirmed the diagnosis of esophageal schwannoma.ConclusionVariations in mesenchymal gastrointestinal tumors is vast, rendering diagnosis by radiology alone difficult. As such, characteristic histologic and immunostaining features are cornerstones in precise diagnosis of esophageal schwannomas. Despite being rare in incidence, symptomatic esophageal schwannoma lesions can be excised entirely, with low rate of recurrence and favorable overall outcomes.
