    Notes: Abstract Background: After the first successful laparoscopic closure of a perforated peptic ulcer in 1990, 18 patients with laparoscopic closure were compared to 16 patients with conventional surgery. Methods: The endpoint adverse events (complications), pain intensity, operation time, fever, leucocytosis, and duration of hospital stay showed no clinically relevant differences. Results: Consumption of analgesics was lower in the laparoscopic group. Conclusions: Laparoscopic closure of perforated peptic ulcer is technically feasible. The safety of the method and the benefit for the patient need proof by means of a randomized controlled trial.

    Notes: Abstract Under the mandate of the Educational Committee of the European Association of Endoscopic Surgery (E.A.E.S.), three consensus development conferences (CDCs) were performed in order to assess the current status of the endoscopic surgical approaches for the treatment of cholelithiasis, appendicitis, and inguinal hernia. Consensus panels for the different disease states (10–13 members each) selected by the education committee on the basis of members' clinical expertise, academic activity, community influence, and geographical location weighed the evidence on the basis of published results according to the criteria for technology assessment: feasibility, efficacy, effectiveness, economy. Draft statements were prepared, discussed by the panels, and presented at plenary sessions of the 2nd European Congress of the E.A.E.S. in Madrid September 15–17, 1994. Following discussions final consensus statements were formulated to provide specific answers for each topic to a minimum of the following questions: 1. What stage of technological development is the endoscopic surgical procedure at (in September 1994)? 2. Is endoscopic surgery safe and feasible? 3. Is it beneficial to the patients? 4. Who should undergo endoscopic surgery? 5. What are the training recommendations? Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the procedure of choice for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic appendectomy is presently at the efficacy stage of development, because most of the data on feasibility and safety originate from centers with special interest in endoscopic surgery: it is not yet the gold standard for acute appendicitis. Endoscopic hernia repair is presently a feasible alternative for conventional hernia repair if performed by experienced endoscopic surgeons. It appears to be efficacious in the short-term. The full text of the consensus panel's statements is given in this publication.

    Notes: Summary Surgeons are increasingly using endoscopy to place transabdominal feeding tubes for enteral nutrition or gastric decompression. A possible extension for the application of this new technique is the direct placement of the feeding tube into the duodenal bulb. Two patients are presented in whom percutaneous endoscopic duodenostomy was successfully performed, although percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was not possible. It shows that this new method is technically possible. In both patients the positive influence of this technique on the patient's quality of life could be shown using the Spitzer Quality of Life Index and the Karnofsky Performance Status. Enteral nutrition was maintained for more than 6 weeks.

    Notes: Summary In a prospective clinical trial, 26 consecutive patients underwent endoscopic pneumatic dilatation over a 10-year period. Dilatation was achieved by means of a ballon attached to a normal gastrointestinal fiberscope. With the endoscope in an inverse position, the device was placed in the cardia and the dilatation process was monitored macroscopically. Before dilatation, patients suffered from dysphagia (92%), reduced speed of swallowing (100%), symptom aggravation under stress (73%), weight loss (50%), aspiration, pain, regurgitation, and vomiting. After dilatation and long-term follow-up (mean of 5 years), symptoms could be markedly reduced, especially the speed of eating and symptom aggravation under stress. Excellent and good results (Visick scale) were achieved in 76%. Fair results were achieved in 20%. To date, perforation and other complications have not occurred. Mortality was zero. Our series was an uncontrolled trial, so the results are hardly comparable to other studies. Furthermore, the small number of patients in our study represents a weak point with regard to complications. We conclude that the main advantages of the procedure are its simplicity and practicability. The simple procedure may be the method of choice in elderly patients. Of course, no final decision can be made until a well-designed controlled trial has been carried out.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is currently a growing field in endoscopic surgery. The purpose of the Consensus Development Conference was to summarize the state of the art of laparoscopic antireflux operations in June 1996. Methods: Thirteen internationally known experts in gastroesophageal reflux disease were contacted by the conference organization team and asked to participate in a Consensus Development Conference. Selection of the experts was based on clinical expertise, academic activity, community influence, and geographical location. According to the criteria for technology assessment, the experts had to weigh the current evidence on the basis of published results in the literature. A preconsensus document was prepared and distributed by the conference organization team. During the E.A.E.S. conference, a consensus document was prepared in three phases: closed discussion in the expert group, public discussion during the conference, and final closed discussion by the experts. Results: Consensus statements were achieved on various aspects of gastroesophageal reflux disease and current laparoscopic treatment with respect to indication for operation, technical details of laparoscopic procedures, failure of operative treatment, and complete postoperative follow-up evaluation. The strength of evidence in favor of laparoscopic antireflux procedures was based mainly on type II studies. A majority of the experts (6/10) concluded in an overall assessment that laparoscopic antireflux procedures were better than open procedures. Conclusions: Further detailed studies in the future with careful outcome assessment are necessary to underline the consensus that laparoscopic antireflux operations can be recommended.

    Notes: Abstract. Cholecystotomy has been suggested for symptomatic gallstone disease in selected children. This suggestion is supported by a potential reduction in the frequency of the so-called postcholecystotomy syndrome. To our knowledge, laparoscopic cholecystotomy has not been reported yet. However, gallstone recurrence has been reported up to 4 years after conventional cholecystotomy and therefore we waited to publish our results for that period of time. A 12-year-old girl with idiopathic symptomatic gallstone disease and a normal kinetic of the gallbladder underwent laparoscopic cholecystotomy. The laparoscopic technique was similar to laparoscopic cholecystectomy but the gallbladder was left in place and multiple gallstones were removed. Intraoperative cholecystoscopy revealed three additional small stones. They were removed by subsequent lavage of the gallbladder. Choledocholithiasis was excluded by intraoperative cholangiography and the gallbladder was closed using an Endo GIA. There were no intraoperative or postoperative events. The patient is free of complaints without recurrent gallstones on ultrasound examination today, 4 years after the operation. Laparoscopic cholecystotomy represents a feasible alternative to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei der Erhebung von Patientendaten kommt der Patientenselbsteinschätzung neben klinischen Befunden eine zunehmende Bedeutung zu. Zu den relevanten subjektiven Daten bei verschiedenen Verletzungen des Kniegelenks werden neben spezifischen Symptomen wie Schmerzen und Schwellneigung Einschränkungen bei Alltagsbelastungen und bei sportlicher Aktivität gezählt. Die subjektiven Beschwerden können in Form eines standardisierten Fragebogens mit einer vereinfachten visuellen Analog-Skala (VAS) (Kästchenreihe mit 10 Kästchen) gut erfaßt werden. Es wurde überprüft, ob die deutsche Übersetzung eines englischsprachigen Knie-Fragebogens ein valides Instrument zur Beurteilung von Kapsel-Band-Verletzungen des Kniegelenkes darstellt. Der VAS-Fragebogen besteht aus 28 Fragen. Zur statistischen Auswertung wurde ein Gesamtscore des Fragebogens ermittelt (VAS-Score). Die Validierung umfaßte eine Expertenbefragung über die Struktur des Fragebogens, die Überprüfung der Reliabilität, den Vergleich mit anderen Score-Systemen (Cincinnati-Score, Lysholm-Score), und die Ermittlung von VAS-Score-Werten bei unterschiedlichen Kniegelenkserkrankungen und einer gesunden Kontrollgruppe. Zur Beurteilung operativer Behandlungsergebnisse wurde der VAS-Score im zeitlichen Verlauf vor und nach arthroskopischer Meniskusläsion und vorderer Kreuzbandersatzplastik ermittelt. Die Fragebogenerhebung erfolgte für beide Gruppen präoperativ, 2, 6, 12 und 24 Wochen postoperativ. Für die Kreuzbandpatienten wurde der VAS-Score zusätzlich 9 Monate postoperativ erhoben. Unter einer Gruppe von erfahrenen Kniechirurgen (n=41) (Expertengruppe) beurteilten 85% den VAS-Fragebogen als nützlich für die klinische Anwendung. Die Reliabilität des Fragebogens war bei Gesundenr=0,86 und bei Rehabilitations-Patientenr=0,92. Bei Patienten mit chronischen Kapsel-Band-Verletzungen (n=209) war die Korrelation zum Lysholm-Score und zum Cincinnati-Scorer=0,88 bzw.r=0,91. Durch den VAS-Score konnte das Ausmaß der Funktionseinschränkungen des Kniegelenkes bei verschiedenen Krankheitsbildern wie Meniskusläsionen, vorderen und hinteren Kreuzbandinsuffizienzen und Knorpelschäden gut abgebildet werden. Der VAS-Score war jedoch nicht krankheitsspezifisch für bestimmte Läsionen des Kniegelenkes. Im zeitlichen Verlauf wurden mit Hilfe des Scores Veränderungen des Funktionszustands nach arthroskopischer Meniskusoperation und nach vorderer Kreuzbandersatzplastik entsprechend dargestellt. Durch den Vergleich prä-und postoperativer Scorewerte konnte eine Beurteilung des Operationserfolges vorgenommen werden. Der VAS-Fragebogen ermöglicht die Erhebung subjektiver Patientendaten zeitsparend, ohne Beeinflussung durch den Untersucher und quantitativ auswertbar. Der Fragebogen kann als einfaches Instrument zur Evaluation und Qualitätskontrolle von operativen Therapiemaßnahmen (z. B. arthroskopischen Operationen) eingesetzt werden.
    Notes: Abstract Patients' complaints on limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and sports are possible signs for various injuries of the knee joint. These complaints can be easily assessed by the patient using a questionnaire with visual analogue scale (VAS) responses. A German translation of the English questionnaire concerning knee complaints [4] has been validated and tested for clinical use. It consists of 28 questions. For the statistical analysis, an overall score (VAS score) of the questionnaire was determined. The validation included an expert evaluation on the content of the questionnaire, a test for the reliability, a comparison with subjective knee scoring systems (Cincinnati score, Lysholm score) and a test on VAS score results in patient groups with various knee injuries (discrimination of patients). For the evaluation of operative treatment results, the responsiveness of the questionnaire was tested in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscus surgery and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The investigation was conducted prior to the operation, 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks after surgery for both groups and also 36 weeks after surgery for the cruciate ligament patients. Interviews conducted with knee surgeons (so-called knee experts) revealed that 85% judged the questionnaire as being acceptable for clinical use. The reliability of the VAS score for healthy individuals wasr=0.86. The reliability for patients in a postoperative rehabilitation programme wasr=0.92. The correlation coefficient for the Lysholm score wasr=0.88 and for the Cincinnati scorer=0.91. By means of the VAS score we were able to assess the extent of limitations in knee function in various patient groups with meniscus lesions, insufficiency of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and chondromalacia. However, the VAS score was not specific for a single knee disorder. In patients who had undergone partial meniscal resection and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, alterations in knee function could be adequately evaluated by means of the VAS score. When comparing the VAS score prior to and after the operation, an evaluation of the treatment result was possible. With such a questionnaire using the patient's VAS responses, subjective data can be assessed time-saving for the physician, without observer bias and submitted to statistical analysis. The questionnaire can be used as a simple and valid instrument for measuring the subjective outcome in knee surgery.

    Notes: Abstract. A case of combined abdominal wall paresis and incisional hernia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported. The paresis possibly occurred by a lesion of the N. intercostalis when extending the incision for stone extraction. Possibly the paresis was a predisposing factor for the development of an incisional hernia. The causes of abdominal wall paresis are explored with a review of the literature. In spite of minimal trauma to the anterior abdominal wall in laparoscopic procedures, the risk of iatrogenic lesions remains.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung. Die statistische Wahrscheinlichkeit unerwünschter Ereignisse (Komplikationen, Versterben des Patienten), die in einer festen Anzahl von Patienten (n) bisher nicht aufgetreten sind, können nach einer einfachen Formel von Hanley berechnet werden. Sie gibt die obere Grenze des 95-%-Konfidenzintervalls für ein solches Ereignis an: Obere Grenze des 95-%-Konfidenzintervalls = maximales Risiko = 3:n (für n≥ 30). Chirurgen sollten diese einfache Regel im Kopf behalten, wenn Komplikationsraten von null in der Literatur berichtet werden bzw. wenn schwere Komplikationen (bis jetzt) nicht aufgetreten sind.
    Notes: Summary. The probability of adverse and undesirable events during and after operations that have not yet occurred in a finite number of patients (n) can be estimated using Hanley's simple formula, which gives the upper limit of the 95 % confidence interval for the probability of such an event: Maximum risk = upper limit of 95 % confidence interval = 3/n (for n 〉 30).
