Abstract
BACKGROUND Function-preserving pancreatectomy can improve the long-term quality of life of patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumors, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and mucinous cystic neoplasms. However, there is limited literature on laparoscopic spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy (L-SpTP) due to technical difficulties. CASE SUMMARY Patient 1 was a 51-year-old male diagnosed with IPMN based on preoperative imaging, showing solid nodules in the pancreatic head and diffuse dilation of the main pancreatic duct with atrophy of the distal pancreas. We performed L-SpTP with preservation of the splenic vessels, and the postoperative pathology report revealed IPMN with invasive carcinoma. Patient 2 was a 60-year-old male with multiple cystic lesions in the pancreatic head and body. L-SpTP was performed, and intraoperatively, the splenic vein was injured and required ligation. Postoperative pathology revealed a mucinous cystic tumor of the pancreas with low-grade dysplasia. Both patients were discharged on postoperative day 7, and there were no major complications during the perioperative period. CONCLUSION We believe that L-SpTP is a safe and feasible treatment for low-grade malignant pancreatic tumors, but more case studies are needed to evaluate its safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes.

Yang F, Xu Y, Jin C, Windsor JA, Fu D. Predicting pancreatic fistula after central pancreatectomy using current fistula risk scores for pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy. Pancreatology 2023; 23:843-851. [PMID: 37739874 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.09.079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after central pancreatectomy (CP) is high, yet an effective predictive method is currently lacking. This study aimed to predict CR-POPF after CP by utilizing existing fistula risk scores (FRSs) for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and distal pancreatectomy (DP). METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing CP at our institution between January 2010 and July 2022. The primary outcome was CR-POPF (grade B/C) according to the 2016 International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery definition. To establish predictive models for CR-POPF after CP, we combined the FRSs for PD and DP using a calculation formula that considers the probability of the union of two events. As a result, we obtained twelve central FRS (C-FRS) models. The performance of each C-FRS was assessed using the area under the curves (AUC) and calibration plots. RESULTS A total of 115 patients undergoing CP were included. Among them, 38 (33%) were male, with a median age of 53 years. CR-POPF occurred in 35 (30.4%) patients, specifically 33 (28.7%) with grade B and 2 (1.7%) with grade C. Multivariate analysis showed that body mass index (BMI) [odds ratio (OR) 1.260, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.039-1.528, P = 0.019), pancreatic thickness at the cephalic transection site (OR 1.228, 95% CI 1.074-1.405, P = 0.003), cephalic main pancreatic duct (MPD) size (OR 41.872, 95%CI 7.614-230.265, P < 0.001), and distal MPD size (OR 0.142, 95% CI 0.036-0.561, P = 0.005) were independent predictive factors for CR-POPF. Discrimination was generally acceptable for all C-FRS models, with an AUC ranging from 0.748 (DISPAIR-a-FRS: 95% CI, 0.659-0.824) to 0.847 (Intraop-D-a-FRS: 95% CI, 0.768-0.907). The models were calibrated with adequate Brier scores ranging from 0.157 to 0.183. The performance in all subgroups was similar as that of the entire cohort. Three preoperative risk groups (low, intermediate, and high) were identified based on the clinical applicability of the Preop-D-Roberts-FRS, with corresponding incidences of CR-POPF as 0% (0/24), 30% (21/70), and 66.7% (14/21), respectively. CONCLUSION The derived C-FRS models show potential for accurately predicting the development of CR-POPF after CP. However, further validation studies are required to determine the most effective model. In the meantime, the Preop-D-Roberts-FRS is recommended for clinical practice due to its ease of use and preoperative predictability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To justify organ-preserving variants of total pancreatectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the results of classic and modified total pancreatectomy between September 2010 and March 2021. Implementing pylorus-sparing total pancreatectomy with preservation of stomach, spleen, gastric and splenic vessels, we thoroughly analyzed exocrine/endocrine disorders after total pancreatectomy and changes in immune status after splenectomy. Serum C-reactive protein and ferritin were assessed in 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 30 days after surgery in both groups. We also estimated daily glycemic profile after total pancreatectomy in classical and organ-preserving modifications. RESULTS We performed 37 total pancreatectomies including 12 pylorus-preserving total pancreatectomies with preservation of stomach, spleen, gastric and splenic vessels. General and specific postoperative complication rate was significantly lower after modified surgery compared to classic total pancreatectomy with gastric resection and splenectomy. CONCLUSION Modified total pancreatectomy is preferable for low-grade pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic surgery expands the indications and the use of total pancreatectomy. Considering a rather high rate of postoperative complications, the search for the ways to improve its outcomes is extremely relevant. The purpose of this study is justification and implementation of organ-preserving variants of total pancreatectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of treatment results after classic and modified total pancreatectomy in the surgical clinic of Botkin Hospital was performed from September 2010 to March 2021. During the development and implementation of pylorus-preserving total pancreatectomy with preservation of the stomach, spleen, gastric and splenic vessels, we thoroughly analyzed aspects of exocrine/endocrine disorders and changes of the immune status after performing the modified technique. RESULTS We performed 37 total pancreatectomies, including 12 pylorus-preserving total pancreatectomies with preservation of the stomach, spleen, gastric, and splenic vessels. General and specific postoperative complication rate in patients after the modified operation was significantly lower compared to the results of classic total pancreatectomy with gastric resection and splenectomy. CONCLUSION Modified total pancreatectomy is a method of choice for pancreatic tumors of low malignant potential.

Feasibility and outcome of spleen and vessel preserving total pancreatectomy (SVPTP) in pancreatic malignancies - a retrospective cohort study. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:3457-3465. [PMID: 36169725 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02690-7] [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: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total pancreatectomy (TP) is most commonly performed to avoid postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in patients with high-risk pancreas or to achieve tumor-free resection margins. As part of TP, a simultaneous splenectomy is usually performed primarily for the reason of oncologic radicality. However, the benefit of a simultaneous splenectomy remains unclear. Likewise, the technical feasibility as well as the safety of spleen and vessel preserving total pancreatectomy in pancreatic malignancies has hardly been evaluated. Thus, the aims of the study were to evaluate the feasibility as well as the results of spleen and vessel preserving total pancreatectomy (SVPTP). MATERIAL AND METHODS Patient characteristics, technical feasibility, perioperative data, morbidity, and mortality as well as histopathological results after SVPTP, mainly for pancreatic malignancies, from patient cohorts of two European high-volume-centers for pancreatic surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Mortality was set as the primary outcome and morbidity (complications according to Clavien-Dindo) as the secondary outcome. RESULTS A SVPTP was performed in 92 patients, predominantly with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (78.3%). In all cases, the splenic vessels could be preserved. In 59 patients, the decision to total pancreatectomy was made intraoperatively. Among these, the most common reason for total pancreatectomy was risk of POPF (78%). The 30-day mortality was 2.2%. Major complications (≥ IIIb according to Clavien-Dindo) occurred in 18.5% within 30 postoperative days. There were no complications directly related to the spleen and vascular preservation procedure. A tumor-negative resection margin was achieved in 71.8%. CONCLUSION We could demonstrate the technical feasibility and safety of SVPTP even in patients mainly with pancreatic malignancies. In addition to potential immunologic and oncologic advantages, we believe a major benefit of this procedure is preservation of gastric venous outflow. We consider SVPTP to be indicated in patients at high risk for POPF, in patients with multilocular IPMN, and in cases for extended intrapancreatic cancers.

Abstract
The anatomical structure of the pancreaticoduodenal region is complex and closely related to the surrounding vessels. A variant of the hepatic artery, which is not a rare finding during pancreatic surgery, is prone to intraoperative injury. Inadvertent injury to the hepatic artery may affect liver perfusion, resulting in necrosis, liver abscess, and even liver failure. The preoperative identification of hepatic artery variations, detailed planning of the surgical approach, careful intraoperative dissection, and proper management of the damaged artery are important for preventing hepatic hypoperfusion. Nevertheless, despite the potential risks, planned artery resection has become acceptable in carefully selected patients. Arterial reconstruction is sometimes essential to prevent postoperative ischemic complications and can be performed using various methods. The complexity of procedures such as pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection may be mitigated by the presence of an aberrant right hepatic artery or a common hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery. Here, we comprehensively reviewed the anatomical basis of hepatic artery variation, its incidence, and its effect on the surgical and oncological outcomes after pancreatic resection. In addition, we provide recommendations for the prevention and management of hepatic artery injury and liver hypoperfusion. Overall, the hepatic artery variant may not worsen surgical and oncological outcomes if it is accurately identified pre-operatively and appropriately managed intraoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of and risk factors for chyle leak, as defined by the 2017 International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery, remain unknown. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus were systematically searched for studies of patients undergoing pancreatectomy that reported chyle leak according to the 2017 International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery definition. The primary outcomes were the incidence of overall and clinically relevant chyle leak. A random-effects pairwise meta-analysis was used to calculate the incidence of chyle leak. RESULTS Thirty-five studies including 7,083 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The weighted incidence of overall chyle leak was 6.8% (95% confidence interval 5.6-8.2), and clinically relevant chyle leak was 5.5% (95% confidence interval 3.8-7.7). Pancreaticoduodenectomy, total pancreatectomy, and distal pancreatectomy were associated with a CL incidence of 7.3%, 4.3%, and 5.8%, respectively. Fourteen individual risk factors for chyle leak were identified from included studies. Younger age, low prognostic nutritional index, para-aortic node manipulation, lymphatic involvement, and post-pancreatectomy pancreatitis were significantly associated with chyle leak, all from individual studies. CONCLUSION The incidence of overall chyle leak and clinically relevant chyle leak after pancreatic surgery, as defined by the 2017 International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery, is 6.8% and 5.5%, respectively. Several risk factors for chyle leak were identified in the present review; however, larger high-quality studies are needed to more accurately define these risks.

Partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer: Improving glycemic control and quality of life without compromising oncological outcomes. World J Gastrointest Surg 2020; 12:491-506. [PMID: 33437401 PMCID: PMC7769744 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v12.i12.491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy (TP) is usually considered a therapeutic option for pancreatic cancer in which Whipple surgery and distal pancreatectomy are undesirable, but brittle diabetes and poor quality of life (QoL) remain major concerns. A subset of patients who underwent TP even died due to severe hypoglycemia. For pancreatic cancer involving the pancreatic head and proximal body but without invasion to the pancreatic tail, we performed partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy (PPTP-SP) in selected patients, in order to improve postoperative glycemic control and QoL without compromising oncological outcomes.
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of PPTP-SP for patients with pancreatic cancer.
METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 56 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent PPTP-SP (n = 18) or TP (n = 38) at our institution from May 2014 to January 2019. Clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups, with an emphasis on oncological outcomes, postoperative glycemic control, and QoL. QoL was evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC PAN26). All patients were followed until May 2019 or until death.
RESULTS A total of 56 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. Perioperative outcomes, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival were comparable between the two groups. No patients in the PPTP-SP group developed cancer recurrence in the pancreatic tail stump or splenic hilum, or a clinical pancreatic fistula. Patients who underwent PPTP-SP had significantly better glycemic control, based on their higher rate of insulin-independence (P = 0.014), lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level (P = 0.046), lower daily insulin dosage (P < 0.001), and less frequent hypoglycemic episodes (P < 0.001). Global health was similar in the two groups, but patients who underwent PPTP-SP had better functional status (P = 0.036), milder symptoms (P = 0.013), less severe diet restriction (P = 0.011), and higher confidence regarding future life (P = 0.035).
CONCLUSION For pancreatic cancer involving the pancreatic head and proximal body, PPTP-SP achieves perioperative and oncological outcomes comparable to TP in selected patients while significantly improving long-term glycemic control and QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To report our experiences and outcome of pancreatectomy with hepatic artery resection (PT-HAR) for advanced pancreatic head cancer. METHODS A retrospective study of clinical data from 14 patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma undergoing PT-HAR in a tertiary academic center between March 2010 and June 2017 was performed. Furthermore, a comparison in a match-pair analysis (1:3) with patients received standard pancreatectomy during the same period was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcome. RESULTS The PT-HAR cohort included pancreaticoduodenectomy (n = 11) and total pancreatectomy (n = 3). Of them, six underwent portal/superior mesenteric vein resection and reconstruction and three underwent hepatic artery reconstruction. Four patients without arterial reconstruction developed liver perfusion failure. No perioperative mortality occurred, with a median postoperative hospital stay of 10.5 days (range 6-39). The median overall survival was 30 months (95% confidence interval 9.8-50.2 months), with the 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates of 81.8%, 63.6%, and 42.4%, respectively. The matched-pair data analysis showed no significant differences between PT-HAR and standard pancreatectomy, except that liver perfusion failure occurred more frequently after PT-HAR. CONCLUSIONS PT-HAR can be performed with acceptable morbidity, mortality, and survival for advanced pancreatic head cancer. Considering the potential risk of liver perfusion failure, only highly selected patients are eligible for PT-HAR without reconstruction.
