• Article: [Avoiding abdominal roentgen images in acute abdominal pain--evaluation of a simple clinical decision support aid].

  H Böhner, Q Yang, K Franke, C Ohmann
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The evaluation of a simple decision aid in the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain shows that plain abdominal x-rays to exclude bowel obstruction can be avoided if less than two of the following symptoms are present: distended abdomen, increased bowel sounds, history of constipation, previous abdominal surgery, age over 50 or vomiting.

• Article: [The abdominal emergency after heart surgery interventions].

  D Wolken, K Hellberg, K P Thon
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: In 4726 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in a 5-year period 15 major acute abdominal complications (0.3%) occurred, with an overall mortality rate of 47%--compared with a mortality rate of 3.2% for all patients undergoing heart surgery (p < 0.0001). Patients with combined cardiac operation (ACB and valve replacement) or those requiring an intraaortic balloon pump were more likely to develop abdominal complications; however, complications can not be predicted. The focus should be on early diagnosis and therapy, especially in acute mesenteric ischemia, in close cooperation between heart and general surgeons to improve prognosis.

• Article: [Perioperative therapy--possibilities for rationalization].

  F W Schildberg
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The complexity of daily clinical work requires a sophisticated collaboration between surgery and anesthesiology, since both departments are interwoven in a unique way. This can be accomplished by a rational approach to the following topics: clear appointment of areas of competence respecting the principle of mutual trust, integration of anesthesiologists in the basic physical examination and proposal of case-oriented preoperative diagnostics, agreement on necessary preoperative therapy, common consultational meetings for outpatient surgery, recovery room availability, instruction of surgical personnel in specific pain therapy, availability of co-workers who are competent and willing to cooperate, no one-sided renunciation of clinical knowledge, ability or execution, no renunication of organizational or structural decision-making and no monopoly on perioperative medicine.

• Article: [Significance and value for the surgeon--the role of surgical examination. Endosonography within the scope of colon and rectal surgery].

  H Lippert
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Because of its accuracy rate, flexible rectal endosonography is a standard examination in the preoperative staging of rectal tumors, especially for uT3 tumors. Assessment of regional lymph node involvement is not as accurate as that of tumor invasion depth. The overstaging is caused by the presence of reactive swollen lymph nodes. Causes of understaging of lymph node status included the presence of metastasis solely in the extramesorectal node. The surgical strategy depends on the endosonographic tumor stage: EUS T1 N0 G1: local transanal resection; EUS T2: anterior resection, EUS T3: preoperative radiochemotherapy. After preoperative radiochemotherapy no understaging of local tumor infiltration was observed. Numerous errors in rectal cancer staging by endosonography are possible.

• Article: [Effect of the mortality and morbidity conference on clinical success and clinical atmosphere].

  M Rothmund, W Lorenz
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Mortality and morbidity (M and M) conferences have been presented in surgical departments in Anglo-Saxon countries for decades. In Germany, only few institutions provide a regular M + M conference. M + M conferences are part of the quality assessment within a department and follow the theory of continuous improvement. After describing a deficit in patient care, the reasons for this deficit are analyzed to avoid such a recurrence in the future. M + M conferences discuss only a minor number of complications occurring in a department compared to a prospective complications registry using a computerized data base. On the other hand, an open discussion during a M + M conference provides a good academic atmosphere within a department.

  ABSTRACT: Kuzmak's adjustable gastric banding procedure is well established and has proven to be efficacious in obese patients. After gastric banding we observed a good weight loss and an improvement in metabolic syndrome diseases. Therefore we were able to reduce the dosage of preoperative medication in patients with diabetes or hypertension.

  ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer has a very poor prognosis despite surgical resection or chemotherapy. For patients with a pancreatic cancer stage III or IV, locoregional or systemic chemotherapy is often the only chance for treatment. In our opinion, locoregional treatment is currently the best concept.

• Article: [Lung metastases: tumor reduction as an oncologic concept].

  H Dienemann, H Hoffmann, C Trainer, T Muley
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The principle of surgery for lung metastases is the removal of all lesions in the lung that are either visible or detectable by palpation. This may be combined with complete dissection of all ipsilateral lymph nodes. Therefore, "tumor reduction" rather than "complete" or "radical resection" may be an adequate description of this surgical approach. Since the dissemination of--macroscopically not detectable--tumor cells represents the major mannerism of every metastatic disease, any local therapy appears to be a discrepancy. However, in most cases the rationale of surgery for lung metastases is the lack of effective systemic therapy and the low morbidity of surgery, along with up to 60% 5-year survival rates.

  ABSTRACT: The realisation of the new regulations for working time in hospitals by law (ArbZG) creates a new status for clinical research. The ArbZG clearly includes regulations for times spent on research and teaching. The strict regulations for resting periods, which have to be respected, allow research activities almost only in time spans other than official working time. The council of the European Union has excluded research activities from the guidelines for working time regulations, so there are no limitations on the time spent on research. In contrast, the German regulations for working time include time spent on research, so there is a national disadvantage for research in comparison to other European countries.

  ABSTRACT: The effects of percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) and cryosurgery (CS) on normal liver tissue are investigated in a mini-pig model. It was not possible to create a circumscribed, reproducible necrosis by PEI; there was a high incidence of thromboembolic complications. Due to the discrepancy between the temperatures necessary to induce freezing and to induce total cell destruction, the necroses were smaller than the ice balls induced by CS and contained vital cells in their periphery. In conclusion, PEI should not be used when ethanol spreading into normal parenchyma has to be assumed, and the difference in size between ice ball and complete necrosis has to be considered in tumor treatment by CS.

  ABSTRACT: Because of its unknown etiology the treatment of Crohn's disease is of a symptomatic nature. Therapeutic decisions mostly revolve around hour one can obtain the best quality of life for the patient. An active inflammatory flare-up is normally treated with steroids; there is no known remission maintenance therapy thereafter. In all other cases a surgical treatment option has to be considered, in particular with steroid dependency, refractory disease and the presence of complications. Deficiencies after surgery must be assessed. 5-Aminosalicylic acid helps in maintaining postoperative remission maintenance.

• Article: [Progress in diagnostic imaging of the thorax (CT, MRI, intervention)--significance and value for the surgeon].

  F W Schildberg, H Fürst
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Among radiological diagnostical procedures, the conventional chest X-ray has retained its significance as a screening investigation up to the present. Digital imaging does not reveal any advantages. Due to its higher resolution the CT scan, particularly the spiral CT scan, has markedly increased radiological possibilities, thus influencing surgical oncology significantly. Tumor invasion of the mediastinum, heart, and thoracic wall has become detectable, as well as enlarged lymph nodes and metastases. CT angiography permits a better assessment of large vessels by aortic rupture or dissection and pulmonary embolism, to name a few. MRI is inferior to CT scan in this respect, displaying a slight advantage in terms of detecting tumor infiltration of the nerval plexus, i.e. pancoast syndrome.
