Robotic Left Pancreatectomy with Perirenal Tissue Excision and Left Adrenalectomy (Posterior Ramps) for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Abutting the Adrenal Gland. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:6195-6196. [PMID: 38972929 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-024-15414-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical antegrade modular pancreato-splenectomy (RAMPS) has been largely described in left-sided pancreatic cancers.1.J Hepato-Biliary-Pancreat Sci 29:1156-1165 Its prognostic advantage is not clear, although a theoretical improvement in R0 resection rate has been shown.2.J Am Coll Surg 204:244-249 Furthermore, RAMPS is usually carried out without adrenal gland removal, the so-called anterior RAMPS, while extending the resection to the adrenal plane could impair perioperative outcomes.3.HPB 25:311-319 METHODS: A 40 mm pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) was found in a 70-year-old patient. Tumor infiltrates the adrenal gland and a robotic posterior RAMPS was indicated. RESULTS After sectioning the splenic vessels and the pancreatic neck, the dissection was directed vertically in a sagittal plane along the left border of the superior mesenteric artery to identify the left renal vein. Our dissection plane was then directed on a caudo-cranial axis, after identification of the left renal artery and below the adrenal gland. The resection was also delimitated medially by the left borders of the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta, and posteriorly by the renal parenchyma. Postoperative course was marked by a biochemical leak. The patient was discharged on postoperative day (POD) 5 and the drain removed at POD 18. Pathological examination confirmed a pT2N2 PDAC with negative margins, with 4/18 positive nodes. CONCLUSIONS The robotic platform is routinely employed in pancreatic surgery. Thanks to its increased degree of movement, its dexterity, and the magnification, this approach can help surgeons with vascular identification and control, in performing extended lymphadenectomies, and finding the correct planes of dissection. All these elements are crucial in a well-performed posterior RAMPS.

What is the optimal surgical approach for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic neck? - a retrospective cohort study. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2024; 409:224. [PMID: 39028426 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-024-03417-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The appropriate surgical approach for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is determined by the tumor's relation to the porto-mesenteric axis. Although the extent and location of lymphadenectomy is dependent on the type of resection, a pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), distal pancreatectomy (DP), or total pancreatectomy (TP) are considered equivalent oncologic operations for pancreatic neck tumors. Therefore, we aimed to assess differences in histopathological and oncological outcomes for surgical approaches in the treatment of pancreatic neck tumors. METHODS Patients with resected PDAC located in the pancreatic neck were identified from the National Cancer Database (2004-2020). Patients with metastatic disease were excluded. Furthermore, patients with 90-day mortality and R2-resections were excluded from the multivariable Cox-regression analysis. RESULTS Among 846 patients, 58% underwent PD, 25% DP, and 17% TP with similar R0-resection rates (p = 0.722). Significant differences were observed in nodal positivity (PD:44%, DP:34%, TP:57%, p < 0.001) and mean-number of examined lymph nodes (PD:17.2 ± 10.4, DP:14.7 ± 10.5, TP:21.2 ± 11.0, p < 0.001). Furthermore, inadequate lymphadenectomy (< 12 nodes) was observed in 30%, 44%, and 19% of patients undergoing PD, DP, and TP, respectively (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis yielded similar overall survival after DP (HR:0.83, 95%CI:0.63-1.11), while TP was associated with worse survival (HR:1.43, 95%CI:1.08-1.89) compared to PD. CONCLUSION While R0-rates are similar amongst all approaches, DP is associated with inadequate lymphadenectomy which may result in understaging disease. However, this had no negative influence on survival. In the premise that an oncological resection of the pancreatic neck tumor is feasible with a partial pancreatectomy, no benefit is observed by performing a TP.

The Role of Non-Peripancreatic Lymph Nodes in the Survival of Patients Suffering from Pancreatic Cancer of the Body and Tail: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of High-Quality Studies. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15082322. [PMID: 37190250 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15082322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Lymph nodes (LNs)' metastases have a well-known detrimental impact on the survival outcomes of patients suffering from pancreatic cancer of the body and tail. However, the extent of the lymphadenectomy for this tumor location is still debated. The aim of this study was to systematically review the current literature to explore the incidence and the prognostic impact of non-peripancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) in patients suffering from pancreatic cancer of the body and tail. A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. The primary endpoint was to assess the impact of non-PLNs on overall survival (OS). As a secondary endpoint, the pooled frequencies of different non-PLN stations' metastatic patterns according to tumor location were explored. Eight studies were included in data synthesis. An increased risk of death for patients with positive non-PLNs was detected (HR: 2.97; 95% CI: 1.81-4.91; p < 0.0001). Meta-analysis of proportions pointed out a 7.1% pooled proportion of nodal infiltration in stations 8-9. The pooled frequency for station 12 metastasis was 4.8%. LN stations 14-15 were involved in 11.4% of cases, whereas station 16 represented a site of metastasis in 11.5% of cases. Despite its potential beneficial effect on survival outcome, a systematic extended lymphadenectomy could not be recommended yet for patients suffering from PDAC of the body/tail.
