Abstract

Esophageal surgery has traditionally been associated with high morbidity rates. Despite the recent advances in the field of minimally invasive surgery and the introduction of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, post-esophagectomy morbidity, especially that attributed to the respiratory system, remains a concern. In that respect, preoperative intensification of oral care or introduction of structured oral/dental hygiene regimens may lead to tangible postoperative benefits associated with reduced morbidity (respiratory or otherwise) and length of hospital stay. A systematic literature search of the Medline, Embase, Web of Knowledge and clinicaltrials.gov databases was undertaken for studies reporting use of preoperative oral/dental hygiene improvement regimens in patients scheduled to undergo esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. After screening 796 unique studies, seven were deemed eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Pooled results indicated equivalent postoperative pneumonia rates in the oral pretreatment group and control groups (8.7 vs. 8.5%, respectively); however, the odds for developing pneumonia were reduced by 50% in the pretreatment group (odds ratio 0.5, 95% C.I. 0.37 to 0.69, P  < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was detected in the anastomotic leak (odds ratio 0.93, 95% C.I. 0.38 to 2.24, P  = 0.87) and length of stay outcomes (mean difference 0.63, 95% C.I. −3.22 to 4.47, P  = 0.75). Oral/dental pretreatment reduces the odds for developing post-esophagectomy pneumonia. This finding should be cautiously interpreted given the significant limitations inherent in this meta-analysis. Further investigation via well-designed clinical trials is thus warranted before implementation in routine practice can be recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aim To investigate the impact of malnutrition on postoperative complications in esophageal cancer patients. Background and Methods Malnutrition is common in esophageal cancer patients due to the debilitating nature of their disease. Several methods of nutritional assessment have emerged as significant prognostic factors for short-and long-term outcomes in patients operated for esophageal cancer. The study sample consisted of 85 patients with esophageal (n=11) and gastroesophageal junction (n=74) cancer who were admitted for surgery in the First Department of Surgery, Laikon General Hospital, Athens, Greece, between September 2015 and March 2019. Out of them, 65 patients underwent esophagectomy, while 20 patients underwent total gastrectomy. The assessment of nutritional status included the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and sarcopenia. GNRI was based on preoperative values of patients’ serum albumin and body weight. The preoperative assessment of sarcopenia was based on Skeletal Muscle Index (SMI) derived from analysis of CT scans using SliceOmatic® Software version 4.3 (Tomovision, Montreal, Canada). Postoperative complications were graded according to Clavien-Dindo classification. Minor complications included categories I-II, whereas major complications included categories III-V. Results Thirty nine patients (47.6%) developed postoperative complications. More specifically, 21 patients (24.7%) developed minor complications and 18 patients (21.2%) developed major complications, while anastomotic leakage occurred in 10 patients (11.8%). Eighty patients (94.1%) had a high-risk GNRI ( Conclusion Higher-risk scores on the GNRI are associated with an increased risk for developing postoperative complications, while sarcopenia is associated with higher risk for anastomotic leakage among esophageal cancer patients. Preoperative assessment of GNRI and sarcopenia should be performed in all patients in order to detect patients who are at greater risk of postoperative morbidity.
