Abstract

Introduction Historically, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in horseshoe kidney (HSK) patients has been performed in the prone position. Nevertheless, thanks to the spread of the supine PCNL technique for patients with urinary stones and normal renal anatomy, some retrospective studies have already reported on supine PCNL and HSK, showing the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. Herein we report our experience with supine PCNL in a subset of patients with urolithiasis. Material and methods Prospective data were collected for all HSK patients who underwent supine PCNL at our institution from June 2016 to June 2023. Stone volume was reported as the volume of a single stone or the sum of the volumes of multiple stones on computed tomography (CT) images. Patients were reported to be stone-free if there were no stones on postoperative non-contrast CT (NCCT) exam. Peri-/postoperative complications were reported according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. The primary endpoint of the study was stone-free rate (SFR) and the secondary endpoints were Clavien-Dindo complications Grade I or higher. Results A total of 35 patients met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study. Forty-eight procedures were analyzed. SFR was 72.9% at 1-month follow-up. In 11 out of 48 procedures (22.9%) Clavien-Dindo Grade I-II complications were recorded. In one case Clavien-Dindo Grade IIIa complication was observed. Conclusions In this prospective study of 35 HSK patients who underwent 48 procedures, supine PCNL was safe and effective, with minimal morbidity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common cancer diagnosed worldwide and the eighth most common cause of cancer death. Malignant tumors of the oral cavity, oropharynx, and larynx can be treated by surgical resection or radiotheraphy with or without chemotheraphy and have a profound impact on quality of life functions, including swallowing. When surgery is the chosen treatment modality, the patient may experience swallowing impairment in the oral and pharyngeal phases of deglutition. A videofluoroscopic study of swallow enables the morphodynamics of the pharyngeal-esophageal tract to be accurately examined in patients with prior surgery. These features allow an accurate tracking of the various phases of swallowing in real time, identifying the presence of functional disorders and of complications during the short- and long-term postoperative recovery. The role of imaging is fundamental for the therapist to plan rehabilitation. In this paper, the authors aim to describe the videofluoroscopic study of swallow protocol and related swallowing impairment findings in consideration of different types of surgery.

Abstract

Various kinds of image-guided techniques have been successfully applied in the last years for the treatment of tumours, as alternative to surgical resection. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel, totally non-invasive, image-guided technique that allows for achieving tissue destruction with the application of focused ultrasound at high intensity. This technique has been successfully applied for the treatment of a large variety of diseases, including oncological and non-oncological diseases. One of the most fascinating aspects of image-guided ablations, and particularly of HIFU, is the reported possibility of determining a sort of stimulation of the immune system, with an unexpected "systemic" response to treatments designed to be "local". In the present article the mechanisms of action of HIFU are described, and the main clinical applications of this technique are reported, with a particular focus on the immune-stimulation process that might originate from tumour ablations.

Abstract

Background Current prognostication of gastrointestinal stromal tumours is validated on/applies to resected tumours, mainly because surgery is recommended whenever possible. However, pre-treatment prognostication is increasingly warranted, considering the follow-up strategy recently admitted for expectedly low-risk tumours and the possible distinctive molecular features/spontaneous regression of some small cases. Aims To investigate whether endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle tissue acquisition-biopsies reflect prognosticators of resected gastrointestinal stromal tumours, for possibly developing reliable pre-treatment prognostic criteria. Methods The applicability/reliability of mitotic index/5 mm 2 and MIB1 proliferative index/1000 cells were tested in 35 endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle tissue acquisition-biopsies diagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumour, subsequently resected without intervening therapy, consecutively collected in thirty months. Size and mitotic/proliferative indexes were compared with resection specimens. The feasibility of bioptic genotyping was also tested. Results 35 patients were studied (45.7% males; mean age 61.6 years, range 26–83 years). Mitotic/proliferative indexes were determinable in 68.6%/88.6% of biopsies, respectively; they were nevertheless underestimated, as happened with endoscopic ultrasound-determined tumour size. Bioptic genotyping revealed reliable. Conclusions Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle tissue acquisition does not reliably reflect gastrointestinal stromal tumours’ proliferation and size. Alternative parameters should be validated for a pre-surgical prognostic classification. Considering the emerging potentially prognostic genetic markers in gastrointestinal stromal tumours, the reliability of bioptic genotyping is a promising result.
