OSTAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% can provide effective analgesia up to 24 hours after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when combined with conventional multimodal analgesia regimen.
Prophylactic dexamethasone given before laparoscopic cholecystectomy produced a significant decrease in concentrations of interleukins 6 and 8. Further studies are needed to investigate the clinical implications of these findings.
RezumatIntroducere: Carcinomatoza peritoneală reprezintă un stadiu avansat al cancerelor abdominale în general şi a cancerului colorectal în particular. Singurele metode de tratament disponibile la momentul actual pentru această patologie sunt chimioterapia sistemică (caracter paliativ) şi chirurgia citoreductivă (CR) asociată cu chimioterapie intraperitoneală hipertermică (HIPEC). După revizuirea literaturii şi a ghidurilor de specialitate, putem afirma că procedura CR+HIPEC trebuie luată în considerare în managementul pacienţilor cu carcinomatoză peritoneală de origine colorectală, ovariană şi mucocel apendicular. Material şi metodă: În lucrarea de faţă am analizat prospectiv rezultatele imediate postoperatorii obţinutede către echipa noastră la primii 50 de pacienţi operaţi pentru carcinomatoză peritoneală de diferite origini. Am descris protocolul de selecţie, caracteristicile pacienţilor care au fost incluşi în programul nostru de CR+HIPEC şi am analizat incidenţa complicaţiilorşi a deceselor. Rezultate: Din ianuarie 2015 până în decembrie 2018 am evaluat pentru tratament 98 de pacienţi cu carcinomatoză peritoneală. Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: Our Initial Experience Chirurgia, 114 (2), 2019 www.revistachirurgia.ro 223 Dintre aceştia, doar 51 au beneficiat de tratament radical (CR+HIPEC); 33 nu au fost potriviţi pentru intervenţia chirurgicală datorită criteriilor de excludere şi la 15 s-a practicat doar laparotomie exploratorie. În ceea ce priveşte originea histopatologică, 30 de paciente au avut cancer ovarian; 19 pacienţi au avut carcinomatoză cu origine colorectală sau pseudomixom peritoneal de origine apendiculară. Nu a existat mortalitate la 30 de zile. Incidenţa complicaţiilor postoperatorii semnificative a fost de 15%. Concluzii: Chirurgia citoreductivă urmată de chimioterapie intraperitoneală hipertermică este o procedură complexă însoţită de o incidenţă acceptabilă a complicaţiilor şi a deceselor postoperatorii, rezultatele putând fi optimizate prin management perioperator standardizat şi selecţia atentă a pacienţilor. Rezultatele iniţiale obţinute de echipa noastră subliniază fezabilitatea acestei proceduri, cu rezultate imediate bune, obţinute ca rezultat a respectării unui protocol standardizat de selecţie a pacienţilor şi a managementului perioperator.

AbstractIntroduction: Peritoneal carcinomatosis represents an advanced stage of tumor dissemination of abdominal cancers in general and colorectal cancer in particular. The only therapeutic methods currently available for the treatment of this pathology are systemic chemotherapy (palliative character) and cytoreductive surgery (CR) with intraperitoneal chemotherapy. After evaluation of evidence-based medical literature and current guide lines we can state that CR + HIPEC procedure is considered to...
BackgroundWhether inflammatory responses to surgery are comparably activated during total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and during volatile anesthesia remains unclear. We thus compared the perioperative effects of TIVA and isoflurane anesthesia on plasma concentrations of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory interleukins and cell adhesion molecules.MethodsPatients having laparoscopic cholecystectomies were randomly allocated to two groups: 44 were assigned to TIVA and 44 to isoflurane anesthesia. IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, and the cellular adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were determined preoperatively, before incision, and at 2 and 24 hours postoperatively. Our primary outcomes were area-under-the-curve cytokine and adhesion molecule concentrations over 24 postoperative hours.ResultsThe only statistically significant difference in area-under-the-curve concentrations was for IL-6, which was greater in patients given isoflurane:78 (95% confidence interval (CI): 52 to 109) pg/ml versus 33 (22 to 50) pg/ml, P= 0.006. Two hours after surgery, IL-6 was significantly greater than baseline in patients assigned to isoflurane: 47 (95% CI: 4 to 216, P<0.001) pg/ml versus 18 (95%CI: 4 to 374, P<0.001) pg/ml in the TIVA group. In contrast, IL-10 was significantly greater in patients assigned to TIVA: 20 (95% CI: 2 to 140, P<0.001) pg/ml versus 12 (95% CI: 3 to 126, P<0.001) pg/ml. By 24 hours after surgery, concentrations were generally similar between study groups and similar to baseline values.ConclusionThe only biomarker whose postoperative area-under-the-curve concentrations differed significantly as a function of anesthetic management was IL-6. Two hours after surgery, IL-6 concentrations were significantly greater in patients given isoflurane than TIVA. However, the differences were modest and seem unlikely to prove clinically important. Further studies are needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
