Exactitud diagnóstica en el cáncer de esófago localizado. Estudio observacional retrospectivo.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of the diagnostic tests for a correct clinical tumor staging in localized esophageal cancer (EC).

Method: Retrospective observational study of patients who underwent esophagectomy for cancer in a referral hospital between January 2003 and September 2019. Those patients who received neoadjuvant treatment were excluded in order to avoid bias from downstaging effects.

Incidence and risk factors for de novo cholelithiasis after bariatric surgery.

Introduction: Obesity and rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS) are risk factors for the development of cholelitiasis. The aim of this study is to know the incidence of the de novo symptomatic cholelitiasis (DNSC) after BS and to analyze the risk factors for its development.

Methods: Single-centre retrospective observational study of patients undergoing BS between January 2010 and December 2017.

Diagnóstico inesperado en paciente con sospecha de GIST: infiltración gástrica por mieloma múltiple.

El mieloma múltiple se caracteriza por la proliferación neoplásica medular de células plasmáticas productoras de inmunoglobulina monoclonal. Un porcentaje pequeño de pacientes presenta compromiso extramedular en forma de plasmocitoma, siendo la localización más habitual las vías respiratorias altas. La afectación gastrointestinal es rara y la clínica asociada dependerá de la localización, la extensión y el mecanismo de infiltración.

Minimally invasive and robotic surgery in the surgical treatment of esophagogastric junction cancer.

Minimally invasive surgery provides for the treatment of esophagogastric junction tumors under safe conditions, reducing respiratory and abdominal wall complications. Recovery is improved, while maintaining the oncological principles of surgery to obtain an optimal long-term outcome. It is important to have a sufficient volume of activity to progress along the learning curve with close expert supervision in order to guarantee R0 resection and adequate lymphadenectomy.

[Cervical anastomotic leak after esophagectomy: diagnosis and management].

Introduction: Cervical anastomotic leaks after esophagectomy are still a frequent and severe complication that needs an early diagnosis and an appropriate treatment. The aim of this study was to describe our experience with the management of this complication.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study (2003-2011) of a consecutive series of 77 patients with a cervical esophagogastric anastomosis, 18 of them (23.

[Minimally invasive esophagectomy].

Introduction: Currently, the bases for the treatment of esophageal cancer are surgical resection and chemotherapy. Among the various surgical techniques used, minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) aims to reduce surgical aggression and cardiopulmonary complications while maintaining basic oncological principles. We present the results of our initial experience with this technique in the treatment of esophageal cancer.
