Radioguided localization of occult colonic lesions during open or laparoscopic surgery: an update.

چکیده
The applications of radioguided surgery, an approach to oncologic surgery involving a multidisciplinary team, are expanding at a rapid pace. The technique of radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) was originally introduced in the mid- 90s for applications in breast surgery, and later adapted also to other tumor lesions such as solitary pulmonary nodules (during either open or laparoscopic surgery) and colonic lesions. Concerning the latter, in particular, the technique called radioguided occult colonic lesion identification (ROCLI) consists of identifying, with the aid of intraoperative gammaprobe counts, small lesions that may escape colic intraoperative palpation, after prior tagging of the lesions performed endoscopically through peri- or intra-lesional injection of Technetium-99m-labeled human albumin macroaggregates (99mTc- MAA), a particulate radiopharmaceutical (25-100 μm) that does not migrate from the site of interstitial administration. Since September 2001, ROCLI has been employed in 12 patients, using a collimated gamma- probe measuring 11 mm in external diameter (Scintiprobe MR100 Pol.Hi.Tech.). All patients underwent preoperative colonoscopy in order to inject 0.2 mL of a 99mTc-MAA suspension (10-20 MBq) into the submucosa or intra-perilesionally; such tagging required only a few minutes. Eight of the 12 patients were then submitted to open laparotomy, while laparoscopic access was utilized in the remaining 4 patients. In all 12 patients, localization of the lesion with the ROCLI technique was technically feasible, safe, efficient and highly accurate, enabling quick detection of the lesion during surgery, with a 100% success rate. No complications occurred, and there was no risk of contamination by ionizing radiation.

Introduction: Nipple discharge is the third most common complaint of the breast diseases following the breast mass and the breast pain. The majority of the lesions causing pathological nipple discharge (PND) consist of non-palpable breast lesions (NPBLs). When non-operative diagnostic tools are inadequate to distinguish the diagnosis, the pathological duct should be removed to ...

متن کاملTattooing or not? A review of current practice and outcomes for laparoscopic colonic resection following endoscopy at a tertiary care centre.
BACKGROUND Because small colonic tumours may not be visualized or palpated during laparoscopy, location of the lesion must be identified before surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the current recommendation of endoscopic tattooing of lesions prior to laparoscopic colonic resections. METHODS All consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic resection ...
متن کاملRadioguided breast surgery for occult lesion localization – correlation between two methods
BACKGROUND The detection of sub-clinical breast lesions has increased with screening mammography. Biopsy techniques can offer precision and agility in its execution, as well as patient comfort. This trial compares radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) and wire-guided localization (WL) of breast lesions. We investigate if a procedure at the ambulatorial level (ROLL) could lead to a bette...
