    Abstract More than 5 years previous to this report, a female patient in her 60s underwent oncological left-sided pancreatic resection and adrenalectomy including splenectomy for locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), recommended by a multidisciplinary tumour board (MDT). Additionally, she was treated with gemcitabine-containing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for 60 minutes in the framework of a clinical trial (PanHIPEC), aiming to determine the safety and feasibility (not efficacy) of this approach. Following the postoperative MDT recommendation, she subsequently received adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of six cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin for a histopathologically confirmed PDAC of the pancreatic tail with infiltration of the left-sided adrenal gland (pT3, pN1 (3/16), cM0, L0, V0, Pn1, R0, G2). Five years and five months after pancreatic surgery and HIPEC, the patient has no signs of tumour recurrence as determined by follow-up examination including CT scan and CA19-9 tumour marker serology.

    Abstract Purpose: We aimed to determine the value of laparoscopy to assess the intra-abdominal tumor extent and predict complete cytoreduction.
    Methods: All patients at our department in the period from 2017 to 2021 that underwent laparoscopy to assess peritoneal metastasis and subsequent open exploration with the intention to perform cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with HIPEC were retrospectively identified in a continuously maintained database.
    Results: Forty-three patients were analyzed. Peritoneal cancer index (PCI) determination by laparoscopy compared to open surgery was overestimated in five patients (11.6%), identical in eleven patients (25.6%), and underestimated in 27 patients (62.8%). PCI differences were independent of surgeons, tumor entities, and prior chemotherapy. Thirty-four patients (79.1%) were determined eligible for CRS with HIPEC during open exploration, whereas nine patients (20.9%) underwent a non-therapeutic laparotomy. Complete or almost complete cytoreduction was achieved in 33 patients (76.7%). In one patient, completeness of cytoreduction was not documented.
    Conclusions: We demonstrate a moderate agreement according to weighted Cohen's kappa analysis of PCI values calculated during laparoscopy and subsequent open exploration for CRS with HIPEC. Uncertainty of PCI assessment should therefore be kept in mind when performing laparoscopy in patients with peritoneal metastasis.

    Title translation Current status of surgical treatment of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.
    Abstract Cytoreductive surgery, often in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has been instrumental in improving the survival of patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer. Recent studies have highlighted the benefits of complete cytoreduction, while the role of the HIPEC treatment remains unclear. An oxaliplatin-based HIPEC over 30 min could not achieve any clear benefits in studies on colorectal cancer, neither in the therapeutic nor in the prophylactic setting, but caused relevant side effects and increased the morbidity. The negative results of these studies with respect to oxaliplatin-based HIPEC require critical appraisal; however, they should by no means be regarded as a general setback for surgical treatment of peritoneal metastases and be misunderstood as a general failure of this treatment. While HIPEC after complete surgical cytoreduction of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer requires further research, cytoreductive surgery should still be regarded as a highly effective treatment for suitable patients with limited abdominal tumor dissemination.

    Abstract Purpose: Early cholecystectomy is recommended for acute calculous cholecystitis to reduce complications and lower health care costs. However, not all patients admitted to emergency services due to acute calculous cholecystitis are considered for surgery immediately. Our intention was therefore to evaluate patient management and outcome parameters following cholecystectomy depending on the type of emergency service patients are primarily admitted to.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients that were treated for acute cholecystitis at our hospital between 2014 and 2021. Only patients that underwent surgical treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis were included. Patients with cholecystectomies that were performed due to other medical conditions were not incorporated. Primary outcomes were the perioperative length of stay and postoperative complications. Perioperative antimicrobial management and disease deterioration according to Tokyo Guidelines from 2018 due to inhouse organization were assessed as secondary outcome parameters.
    Results: Of 512 patients included in our final analysis, 334 patients were primarily admitted to a surgical emergency service (SAG) whereas 178 were initially treated in a medical service (MAG). The latency between admission and cholecystectomy was significantly prolonged in the MAG with a median time to surgery of 2 days (Q25 1, Q75 3.25, IQR 2.25) compared to the SAG with a median time to surgery of 1 day (Q25 1, Q75 2, IQR 1) (p < 0.001). The duration of surgery was comparable between both groups. Necrotizing cholecystitis (27.2% vs. 38.8%, p = 0.007) and pericholecystic abscess or gallbladder perforation (7.5% vs. 14.6% p = 0.010) were less frequently described in the SAG. In the SAG, 85.7% of CCEs were performed laparoscopically, 6.0% were converted to open, and 10.4% were performed as open surgery upfront. In the MAG, 80.9% were completed laparoscopically, while 7.2% were converted and 11.2% were performed via primary laparotomy (p = 0.743). Histologically gangrenous cholecystitis was confirmed in 38.0% of the specimen in the SAG compared to 47.8% in the MAG (p = 0.033). While the prolonged preoperative stay led to prolonged overall length of stay, the postoperative length of stay was similar at a median of 3 days in both groups.
    Conclusions: To our knowledge, we present the largest single center cohort of acute calculous cholecystitis evaluating the perioperative management and outcome of patients admitted to either medical or surgical service prior to undergoing cholecystectomy. In patients that were primarily admitted to medical emergency services, we found disproportionately more gallbladder necrosis, perforation, and gangrene. Despite prolonged time intervals between admission and cholecystectomy in the MAG and advanced cases of cholecystitis, we did not record a prolonged procedure duration, conversion to open surgery, or complication rate. However, patients with acute calculous cholecystitis should either be primarily admitted to a surgical emergency service or at least a surgeon should be consulted at the time of diagnosis in order to avoid disease progression and unnecessary health care costs.

    Abstract (1) Background: Laparoscopic resection for colon and rectal cancer was introduced in the early 1990s; the aim of this analysis was to show possible advantages of minimal-invasive approaches in rectal cancer surgery. (2) Methods: From 2016 to 2020, all patients undergoing open, laparoscopic or robotic-assisted rectal cancer surgery in Germany were retrospectively analyzed regarding sex distribution, conversion rates and in-hospital mortality rates according to nationwide hospital billing data based on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). (3) Results: In total, 68,112 patients were analyzed, and most commonly, low anterior rectal resections with primary anastomosis (

    Abstract Introduction: Cholecystectomy (CCE) is the treatment of choice of symptomatic gallstones. Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, operating room (OR) capacities have been reduced. The goal of this study was to evaluate the duration of symptoms of patients presenting with gallstone disease during a lockdown, the surgical management, and the severity grade of their disease.
    Materials and methods: A cohort study of 353 CCEs performed at a university hospital over two 10-week periods during 2 pandemic lockdowns in Germany compared to corresponding periods in 2018 and 2019.
    Results: During the lockdowns, 101 CCEs were performed compared to 252 in the prior years. The number of elective CCEs was reduced to save OR capacities (
    Conclusions: The incidence and severity of acute cholecystitis during the lockdowns were comparable to the prior years. Acute care surgery was provided at the expense of elective procedures, and there was no need for treatment alterations.
