Filter by:The object of this exploratory clinical trial is to evaluate intra and post-operative complications in a population that underwent Robotic Gastrectomy, with multiple platforms: - DaVinci; - Hugo; - Versius. This study is divided into two phases: in the first phase, gastrectomy will be performed using both the new platforms (Hugo and Versius) and the standard platform (Da Vinci), to evaluate the feasibility of the surgical procedure. In the second phase, the three platforms will be compared to evaluate any differences in the learning curve for an upper-GI surgeon, expert in laparoscopic surgery but not with robotic one. The questions it aims to answer are: - Are differences (intra-operative, post-operative, oncological, functional, technical, and economic) among the three different platforms observable? - Are there any differences between the three platforms related to the learning curve for surgeons? Participants will be enrolled, after obtaining informed consent, in one of the following cohorts: 1. surgery with the daVinci platform; 2. surgery with the Hugo platform; 3. surgery with the Versius platform.
Gastric cancer continues to have a poor prognosis primarily due to the inability to detect it in its early stages. This study will develop and validate a blood assay to facilitate the non-invasive detection of gastric cancer.
Objective: To define complete mesogastric excision and compare our short term results for the first time in a different population. Study design:Randomised-controlled study Place and duration of the study: Gastroenterological Surgery Clinic,Health Sciences University,Basaksehir City Hospital,Istanbul,Turkey,from April to December 2023. Methodology: We compared short term results of open total gastrectomy+ mesogastrectomy with standard total gastrectomy + D2 lymph node dissection at a tertiary center in terms of peroperative results, histopathological findings and postoperative short- term outcomes with review of the literature. Conclusion: Our aim is to show that mesogastric excision is safe and has advantages over conventional D2 gastrectomy in means of not only peroperative and short-term outcomes, but also disease free survival.Our work is the first study from a different population of the world and our initial results can contribute to the literature for universalization.
The main goal of this study is to investigate the histopathological regression rate in patients with locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma without previous treatment who will be prospectively randomized into two groups to undergo one of two chemotherapy regimens, followed by surgery: 1. 8 cycles of Total Neoadjuvant ChemoTherapy (TNT) with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel (FLOT) followed by surgery. 2. 4 cycles of Neoadjuvant FLOT chemotherapy scheme preoperatively and 4 adjuvant FLOT cycles postoperatively.
To determine the long term outcomes of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), Endoscopic Full Thickness Resection (EFTR) and Submucosal-Tunnelling Endoscopic Resection (STER) for upper gastrointestinal neoplastic lesions
Endoscopic resection of gastrointestinal lesions may prevent cancer. However, resection is associated with adverse events such as bleeding. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic derivative of lysine that exerts antifibrinolytic effects and may prevent bleeding. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of local TXA on preventing intraprocedural and postprocedural bleeding in patients undergoing endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of upper gastrointestinal lesions.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer is a widely accepted treatment option of expanded indication worldwide. ESD is relatively difficult compared with endoscopic mucosal resection, thus, proper training is essential for the safe performance of the procedure. Thus, it is necessary to receive proper training in the procedure for safe performance of ESD. Previous studies reported that there was a learning curve in ESD training and preceptees needed to perform at least 30-40 procedures in order to master this technique. However, there is few study about the association between the clinical characteristics and competence level for gastric ESD.
Immunonutrition (IN) appears to reduce infective complications and in-hospital length of stay (LOS) after gastrointestinal surgery. More specifically, it seems to be beneficial also in gastric cancer surgery. Potential benefits of combining preoperative IN (PIN) with protocols of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in reducing LOS in laparoscopic total gastrectomy are yet to be determined.
The study is a prospective cohort study to investigate whether aberrant DNA methylation can be useful for the prediction of metachronous recurrence after endoscopic resection of gastric neoplasms (dysplasia or cancer). From 2012 to 2017, 300 patients were prospectively enrolled after endoscopic resection (ER) of gastric dysplasia or early gastric cancer. All lesions were assessed by endoscopy and biopsy before ER. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed for gastric dysplasia and early gastric cancers which met the absolute indication (differentiated adenocarcinoma, intramucosal cancer, lesions < 20 mm, and no endoscopic evidence of ulceration). All lesions were curatively resected; if non-curatively resected, the patients were not enrolled from the study. All subjects, who provided informed consent, were asked to complete a questionnaire under the supervision of a well-trained interviewer. The questionnaire included questions regarding demographic data (age, sex), socioeconomic data (smoking, alcohol, and education), their family history of GC in first-degree relatives, and history of H. pylori eradication therapy. Also, MOS methylation level at baseline was measured from noncancerous gastric mucosae at corpus. When H. pylori was positive by CLOtest or histology at baseline or during the follow-up, eradication therapy was done. To evaluate whether H. pylori was eradicated, 13C-urea breath testing was performed at least 4 weeks after completion of the eradication therapy. All study subjects were closely followed up since recurrent tumors at previous endoscopic resection sites can be easily detected on endoscopy with biopsy and treated during follow-up. Patients with local recurrence underwent further treatments, including repeated ESD, APC, and gastrectomy based on pathology, and patients who refused treatment received supportive care. All patients underwent endoscopy with biopsy within 6 months, then at 12 months after ESD to check for metachronous lesions or local recurrences. After 12 months, endoscopy with biopsy was performed annually. In case of EGCs, abdominal CT scan was performed in the first year and biennially thereafter to detect lymph node or distant metastases. The definition of the completion of the study protocol was 1) endoscopic and/or radiologic follow-up for more than 3 years, or 2) development of metachronous gastric neoplasm (primary outcome: gastric dysplasia or cancer) during the follow-up. Metachronous recurrence was defined as secondary dysplasia or cancers detected > 1 year after initial diagnosis.
The study aims to retrospectively investigate the endoscopic resection procedures of cancerous and precancerous lesions of the upper and lower digestive tract in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes and to compare different resection techniques. In particular, the resection techniques investigated will be mucosectomy, en bloc and piecemeal, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and its variants, full-thickness resection. The anatomical districts involved will be the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon and rectum.
