Dr. Frasson gives a demonstration of how to use the Endo-Sponge kit, unboxing all the items and showing its indications, tips and tricks. In low colorectal anastomoses, an anuscope is usually enough to place the device. For higher anastomoses an endoscopic tube is needed. The abscessual cavity must be cleaned before placing the endo-sponge. Lubricant is needed, as well as a push-up tube, to insert the sponge in the abscessual cavity. A Y-shape connexion is used to establish the vacuum in the cavity through the drain tube. Two sponges can be connected to the vacuum if needed. The sponge can also be removed under endoscopic vision by using a saline solution to separate it from the tissues. Endo-sponge therapy should be maintained until the abscessual cavity is healed.

Snapshot studies are multicenter, prospective, observational studies during a short period of time and involving a large amount of patients. They are audits aimed at identifying variability areas in daily practice, thus building new research networks . Each individual site includes a maximum of five investigators and its results belong to a corporate authorship. In this case Dr. Frasson focuses on the anastomotic leak , one of the most frequent concerns for general surgeons. Identifying patients at risk of anastomotic leak and carrying out a strict follow-up of these cases is crucial for the detection of this complication. The first snapshot study was performed in 2015 and focused on the right hemicolectomy technique. This procedure is one of the most common procedures among colorectal surgeons. The ESCP calculated that 83,000 right hemicolectomies are performed in Europe every year. The first controversial question regarding the ileo-colic anastomosis is whether this technique (stapled versus handsewn) has an impact upon the anastomotic leak rate. For a period of two months, data were collected from more than one thousand clinicians in 284 recruiting sites in 38 countries. The number of patients included was 3,208 , and data were complete in 97.4% of the records. Anastomotic leak occurred in 8.1% of the patients and the mortality rate within 30 days was 3.2%. This mortality is absolutely correlated to anastomotic leak . Among patients with anastomotic leak, death occurred in 11.3% of cases, whereas only 1.9% of patients with no leak died. Great variability in the anastomotic leak rate is observed in different countries with more than 15 centers. The strongest factors predicting anastomotic leak were open surgery , the general surgeon performing the anastomosis, and the use of staplers . Patient selection, surgeon experience, and mechanical or technical factors in the use of staplers might be factors that have an impact on these findings, respectively. The second snapshot study presented by Dr.Frasson focuses on the closure of the intestinal stoma and was carried out in 2016 . All kinds of surgeries and intestinal stomas were included in this study. Participation was even higher than in the first snapshot study, including 1,211 clinicians and 48 different countries, not only in Europe but globally . Data were complete in 99.3% of the records. The number of patients included was 900 . The leak rate was different for the different kinds of stoma ( 4% in loop ileostomy closure and up to 8% in end colostomy closure). These stomas were created in the primary surgery in 85% of the cases, whereas 15% were the consequence of a complication . The average time from creation to closure of the stoma was almost 6 months . Half of the anastomoses were performed using staplers and the other half were handsewn. No differences were found in the anastomotic leak rate in these two groups. At the end of his speech, Dr. Frasson briefly mentions the third snapshot carried out in 2017 on left colonic and rectal resections. These three snapshot studies include a total of more than 10,000 patients and more than 3,000 researchers . Significant points are identified in snapshot studies, supplying important data to design future clinical trials, which proves that collaborative research really works and a strong network can be created by surgeons working together to improve patient care .
