Minimally Invasive Treatment ofUlcer
https://t.me/med1917
Disease: Laparoscopic Graham Patch, Laparoscopic Vagotomy andAntrectomy
ChristianAdkisson andDavidWeithorn
1 Indications
The treatment of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) has profoundly changed with the dis­covery of H. pylori and acid suppression medications. Despite these major advances in treatment of PUD, the annual incidence of complicated PUD (bleeding, perfora­tion, ulcer penetration, and gastric outlet obstruction) is still common at 71 cases per 100,000 individuals. Laparoscopic Graham patch has become the preferred treat­ment modality over the open surgical approach for small perforated duodenal ulcers due to lower mortality, decreased wound infections, improved pain control, and shorter hospital stay [13]. The main contraindications to the laparoscopic approach are inability to tolerate pneumoperitoneum and ongoing intraoperative hemody­namic instability.
Prior to medical advancements, PUD was often treated denitively with truncal vagotomy and antrectomy. Though infrequently performed now, a select cohort of patients who are either NSAID dependent, unable to take proton pump inhibitors, have severe refractory disease despite optimal medical therapy, or have gastric out­let obstruction would benet from vagotomy with antrectomy. The major advan­tages to performing an antrectomy are denitively ruling out malignancy, relieving gastric outlet obstruction, and removing all gastrin secreting G cells. However, antrectomy patients experience more postoperative side effects such as dumping, diarrhea, delayed gastric emptying, and early satiety. Alternative operations that avoid these side effects are the highly selective vagotomy or truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty.

2 Preoperative Preparations
Patients presenting with perforated peptic ulcers should be treated following the surviving sepsis guidelines [4]: broad spectrum antibiotics, aggressive intravenous hydration with crystalloid uid, foley placement for accurate urine output, and nasogastric decompression. Following adequate resuscitation, the patient should be taken to the operating room for denitive source control [5].
Patients that present for elective antrectomy with vagotomy in the setting of gas­tric outlet obstruction will need correction of any electrolyte derangements preop­eratively. In cases of severe malnutrition, preoperative nutritional support should be administered prior to proceeding with surgery.
3 Positioning
The patient is placed in the supine position with arms out. Use of a footboard is recommended. The split-leg (French) position is also suitable for these operations.
4 Description oftheProcedure
4.1 Laparoscopic Graham Patch
The abdomen should be safely entered as per surgeon preference. Insufation to 15mmHg with CO2 is performed as tolerated. Three additional ports will be inserted (Fig.1). A Nathanson liver retractor can also be used for better exposure. All spilled enteric contents are then suctioned free from the peritoneum. The stomach and duo­denum are carefully inspected. Simultaneous upper endoscopy may facilitate iden­tication of the ulcer. When the perforated ulcer is identied, it should be roughly measured as ulcers >2cm require more complex repairs. Attempts at primary clo­sure of perforated duodenal ulcers should be avoided as the edges are often friable leading to suture pulling through the tissue and further enlarging the perforation. Additionally, primary closure risks luminal narrowing in a likely already scarred segment of intestine.
A healthy tongue of omentum is then created and mobilized using a bipolar energy device. This is brought up to the ulcer in a tension free manner. The omental patch is secured to the ulcer in a similar fashion to that popularized by Roscoe Graham using three interrupted 2-0 nonabsorbable or slowly absorbable braided sutures through healthy duodenum (Fig.2). This author often uses three different colored sutures for easier identication while tying. Use of absorbable barbed suture is also popular and obviates the need for knot tying. The sutures are tied intracorpo­really to adequately oppose the omentum to the ulcer without strangulation (Fig.3).

A leak test is performed with an upper endoscopy. After completion of a satisfactory repair, the entire abdomen and pelvis is thoroughly irrigated and suctioned to remove any residual enteric spillage. Finally, a 19Fr round drain is placed adjacent to the Graham patch repair and exiting out of the right lateral port site. The drain is secured in place with a nylon suture and all remaining port sites are closed with a subcuticular absorbable suture and skin glue.
4.2 Laparoscopic Truncal Vagotomy andAntrectomy
The port placement is similar to the laparoscopic Graham patch apart from upsizing one of the working ports to accommodate a laparoscopic stapler. Identication of the anterior vagal trunk is achieved after opening the gastrohepatic ligament and clearing the peritoneum overlying the abdominal esophagus. The esophagus will need to be mobilized 4–5cm proximally. The anterior vagus nerve is dissected free (Fig. 4) and clipped and divided at approximately 4 cm proximal to the gastro­esophageal junction (GEJ). A small portion (2cm) is resected and sent to pathology for conrmation of neural tissue and to prevent neuroregeneration. The posterior trunk is then identied after opening the phrenoesophageal ligament at the level of the right crus. Similarly, this is divided 4cm above the GEJ, and a segment is sent to pathology.
Selective vagotomies are performed to theoretically decrease the incidence of postvagotomy diarrhea and gallbladder stasis by dividing only the gastric innerva­tion and sparing the input to the gallbladder and intestine. The procedure is per­formed similarly to the truncal vagotomy except that the anterior vagus is divided distal to the takeoff of the hepatic branches and the posterior vagus is divided distal to the takeoff of the celiac branches. However, studies fail to show a signicant dif­ference in postoperative side effects compared to truncal vagotomies and it still

requires a drainage procedure such as an antrectomy or pyloromyotomy. It is there­fore not a preferred procedure. A highly selective vagotomy (or parietal cell vagot­omy) is the third option for refractory peptic ulcer disease. It is technically more demanding, as it involves transecting the proximal anterior and posterior nerves of Latarjet and sparing the innervation to the antrum and pylorus, i.e. the “crow’s feet.” It has been shown to have a higher recurrence rate of pre-pyloric and pyloric ulcer disease, so is also not favorable for complicated PUD [6, 7].
When performing the antrectomy, the right gastric and right gastroepiploic arter­ies are then identied and ligated at the level of the incisura. The stomach is divided at this point with a laparoscopic thick tissue staple load. The stapled end of the antrum is retracted medially. The antrum is freed from the gastrocolic and gastrohe­patic ligaments. Careful dissection is continued to the rst portion of the duodenum. The duodenum is divided with laparoscopic linear staple load. Gastrointestinal con­tinuity is obtained with a Billroth I or II reconstruction. The specimen is removed and sent to pathology. The staple lines are reinspected for hemostasis and signs of bile staining (from the duodenal stump) prior to abdominal closure.
Alternatively, a Heineke–Mikulicz pyloroplasty can be performed as a drainage procedure rather than antrectomy in patients without gastric outlet obstruction. A full thickness gastrotomy is made and carried through the pylorus longitudinally (Fig.5) onto the rst portion of the duodenum. The stomach is then closed trans­versely in two layers, rst with full thickness bites (Fig.6) followed by a lembert second layer. This author prefers slowly absorbable 2-0 barbed suture for both lay­ers. It is helpful to place an interrupted stitch at both apices of the incision to retract the pyloromyotomy transversely while closing. Routine Kocherization of the duo­denum is not required, but may be necessary in select cases to take tension off of the transverse closure.

5 Postoperative Care
5.1 Laparoscopic Graham Patch
Postoperatively, patients remain NPO with nasogastric decompression. Broad spec­trum antibiotics are continued for 5days postoperatively. Patients are also empiri­cally treated for H. pylori. The nasogastric tube is removed upon return of bowel function or other clinical parameters. 24h following resumption of a normal diet the drain is removed provided the output and consistency remains benign. Upper gas­trointestinal uoroscopic studies should be performed selectively on patients with clinical signs of a postoperative leak, as routine use prolongs hospital stay without signicant increase in leak detection [8]. Lifelong avoidance of NSAIDs and smok­ing should be encouraged with all patients to minimize ulcer recurrence.
5.2 Laparoscopic Vagotomy andAntrectomy
Postoperatively, electrolytes should be closely monitored and replaced as those patients with gastric outlet obstruction are at high risk for refeeding syndrome.

1 Introduction
An excellent chapter on the technique of esophagectomy was authored in the previ­ous edition of the Illustrative Handbook of General Surgery by Drs. Ryan Macke and Guilhermo Campos [1]. Much of their work warrants perseveration. We have added some updates in the perioperative treatment as well as our technique of tran­shiatal esophagectomy and colon interposition grafting.
Esophagectomy is considered by many to be of the most complex and techni­cally challenging gastrointestinal operations performed today. Resection of the esophagus and proximal stomach followed by reconstruction to reestablish gastro­intestinal continuity with a gastric pull-up or other conduit (colon or jejunal interpo­sition) is a complex, multi-step operation that requires considerable attention to detail. It is not only the operative technique which drives patient outcomes, but also the preoperative preparation and postoperative inpatient management which is linked to morbidity and rescue of the patient when needed. An understanding of the surgical anatomy of the esophagus as it courses through the neck, chest, and

abdomen is critical, as well as knowledge of the functional changes that occur with this radical change in anatomy.
Esophagectomy is associated with signicant risk of morbidity and mortality. In 1941, Ochsner and Debakey reported a staggering mortality rate of 72% in one of the earliest, large series of esophageal resections [2]. Fortunately, with improve­ments in surgical and anaesthetic technique, patient selection, nutritional support, and critical care, mortality rates have declined signicantly. A review of 46,692 esophagectomies performed between 1980 and 1988 reported a decrease in mortal­ity to 13% [3]. A hospital volume relationship has also been established, with mor­tality rates reported as high as 23.1% in “low-volume” centers and as low as 8.1% in “high-volume” centers [4]. More recently, in 2009 an analysis of 2315 esopha­gectomies registered in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ General Thoracic Database reported a mortality rate of 2.7% for patients treated primarily at tertiary referral centers [5]. Minimally invasive approaches to esophagectomy have been developed in hopes of further improving outcomes. Luketich and colleagues reported a mortality rate of only 0.9% in a series of 1011 patients selected for lapa­roscopic and thoracoscopic esophagectomy [6].
Postoperative morbidity rates of 30–60% have been reported following esopha­gectomy [7]. The most common major complications are pulmonary in nature, occurring in approximately 20–40% of patients, including pneumonia, empyema, and respiratory failure [7]. Anastomotic leaks occur in roughly 10–20% of cases, with varying degrees of severity and resulting morbidity [7, 8]. Other less common major complications include pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, chylo­thorax, vocal cord palsy, gastric outlet obstruction and gastric conduit ischemic complications. Common minor complications include supraventricular arrhythmias and wound infections. Anastomotic strictures, delayed gastric emptying, and dump­ing syndrome are complications that occur in the late postoperative period. A tech­nically sound operation, as well as attentive postoperative care and patient education are crucial in order to minimize the risk of post-esophagectomy complications.

2 Indications
Esophagectomy is most commonly performed for the treatment of esophageal can­cer. End stage achalasia, caustic ingestion injury are other benign indications. Invasive adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the middle and distal esophagus without evidence of metastatic disease are standard indications for esophageal resection. Patients with evidence of locoregional nodal metastases, tumors invading the muscularis propria (T2), and tumors invading into the peri­esophageal adventitia (T3) are typically offered neoadjuvant chemoradiation ther­apy prior to resection. Tumors invading surrounding structures (T4) that can be completely resected, such as those invading the diaphragm, may also be considered for resection following neoadjuvant therapy. Barrett’s esophagus with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) was previously considered an indication for esophagectomy, as
Esophagectomy

many older series reported presence of invasive cancer in the resected specimen in as many as 50% of patients initially thought to only have HGD.However, with improvements in endoscopic and imaging technology, endomucosal resection (EMR) and/or radiofrequency ablation is now preferred over resection if the lesion can be completely removed with negative margins [9]. In many instances, mucosal (T1a) lesions are being considered for EMR and endoscopic submucosal resection with acceptable resection margins and post-procedure disease free intervals [912]. Multi-focal HGD within a long segment of Barrett’s esophagus and HGD not ame­nable to complete endomucosal resection or ablation can be considered for esopha­gectomy given the increased risk for occult invasive carcinoma within the areas of dysplasia. Esophagectomy may also be considered for palliation of unresectable patients who are unable to tolerate oral/enteral intake or for those treated with den­itive chemoradiation therapy that subsequently present with local recurrence. However, only a select few are able to tolerate a procedure of this magnitude given their debilitated state and higher risk of morbidity and mortality for what is com­monly referred to as “salvage esophagectomy” [13]. Other less invasive therapies, such esophageal stenting and photodynamic therapy, are often better options for this patient population.
Though much less common, esophagectomy may be considered for the manage­ment of severe benign esophageal disease, such as end-stage achalasia, multiple failed prior anti-reux procedures, strictures not amenable to dilation, and unrepair­able esophageal perforations or those associated with underlying esophageal pathol­ogy (stricture, end-stage achalasia) [14]. The basic approach to esophagectomy remains the same with the exception of omitting the celiac and mediastinal lymph node dissection that is critical in patients undergoing resection for malignant disease.

3 Preoperative Evaluation
Preoperative work-up should include a physiologic assessment of the patient to determine their candidacy for resection, including cardiac risk stratication and selective pulmonary function testing (i.e., heavy smokers, known chronic pulmo­nary disease). All cases of suspected cancer should have tissue diagnosis obtained by biopsy with upper endoscopy. The proximal and distal extent of tumor, extent of Barrett’s esophagus, and presence of other pathology should be noted. Signicant extension of tumor beyond the cardia of the stomach may require a gastrectomy for complete resection and colon interposition for reconstruction. Contrasted CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis as well as a CT-PET scan. The use of endoscopic ultra­sonography for staging is controversial [15, 16]. Lesions causing symptomatic dys­phagia at typically at greater T2 which would require neoadjuvant therapy. Lesions without adenopathy on cross-sectional imaging would be better targeted with endo­scopic ultrasound to evaluate if the patient is a candidate for endoscopic resection or upfront surgery rather than neoadjuvant therapy. The choice of neoadjuvant regimen
