Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has a considerable surgical risk for complications and late metabolic morbidity. Parenchyma-sparing resection of benign tumors has the potential to cure patients associated with reduced procedure-related short- and long-term complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane libraries were searched for studies reporting surgery-related complications following PD and duodenum-preserving total (DPPHRt) or partial (DPPHRp) pancreatic head resection for benign tumors. A total of 38 cohort studies that included data from 1262 patients were analyzed. In total, 729 patients underwent DPPHR and 533 PD. RESULTS Concordance between preoperative diagnosis of benign tumors and final histopathology was 90.57% for DPPHR. Cystic and neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNETs) and periampullary tumors (PATs) were observed in 497, 89, and 31 patients, respectively. In total, 34 of 161 (21.1%) patients with intraepithelial papillar mucinous neoplasm exhibited severe dysplasia in the final histopathology. The meta-analysis, when comparing DPPHRt and PD, revealed in-hospital mortality of 1/362 (0.26%) and 8/547 (1.46%) patients, respectively [OR 0.48 (95% CI 0.15-1.58); p = 0.21], and frequency of reoperation of 3.26 % and 6.75%, respectively [OR 0.52 (95% CI 0.28-0.96); p = 0.04]. After a follow-up of 45.8 ± 26.6 months, 14/340 patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms/mucinous cystic neoplasms (IPMN/MCN, 4.11%) and 2/89 patients with PNET (2.24%) exhibited tumor recurrence. Local recurrence at the resection margin and reoccurrence of tumor growth in the remnant pancreas was comparable after DPPHR or PD [OR 0.94 (95% CI 0.178-5.34); p = 0.96]. CONCLUSIONS DPPHR for benign, premalignant neoplasms provides a cure for patients with low risk of tumor recurrence and significantly fewer early surgery-related complications compared with PD. DPPHR has the potential to replace PD for benign, premalignant cystic and neuroendocrine neoplasms.

Abstract
Currently, the most frequently used surgical treatment for symptomatic, benign, premalignant cystic and neuroendocrine neoplasms of the pancreatic head is the Whipple procedure or pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). However, when performed for treatment of benign tumors, PD is a multiorgan resection involving loss of pancreatic and extrapancreatic tissue and functions. PD for benign neoplasm is associated with the risk of considerable early postoperative complications and an in-hospital mortality of up to 5%. Following the Whipple procedure a new onset of diabetes mellitus is observed in 14-20% and new exocrine insufficiency in 25-45%, leading to metabolic dysfunction and impairment of quality of life persisting after resection of benign tumors. Symptomatic neoplasms are indication for surgery. Patients with asymptomatic pancreatic tumors are treated according to the criteria of surveillance protocols. The goal of surgical treatment for asymptomatic patients is, according to the guideline criteria, interruption of the surveillance program before the development of an advanced stage cancer associated with the neoplasm. Tumor enucleation and duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection, either total or partial, are parenchyma-sparing resections for benign neoplasms of the pancreatic head. The first choice for small tumors is enucleation; however, enucleation is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic fistula B + C following pancreatic main duct injury. Duodenum-preserving total or partial pancreatic head resection has the advantage of low postoperative surgery-related complications, a mortality of < 0.5% and maintenance of the endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions. Parenchyma-sparing pancreatic head resections should replace classical Whipple procedures for neoplasms of the pancreatic head.

Abstract
Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL) are frequently encountered in clinical practice and some are referred to surgery due to their neoplastic risk or malignant transformation. The management of PCL involves complex decision-making, with postoperative surveillance being a key component for long-term outcomes, due to the potential for recurrence and postoperative morbidity. Unfortunately, the follow-up of resected patients is far from being optimal and there is a lack of consensus on recommendations with regard to timing and methods of surveillance. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the postoperative surveillance of neoplastic pancreatic cysts, focusing on the mechanisms and risk factors for recurrence, the recurrence rates according to the initial indication for surgery, the final result of the surgical specimen and neoplastic risk in the remaining pancreas, as well as the postsurgical morbidity comprising pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, metabolic dysfunction and diabetes after resection, according to the type of surgery performed. We analyze postsurgical recurrence rates and morbidity profiles, as influenced by different surgical techniques, to better delineate at-risk patients, and highlight the need for tailored surveillance strategies adapted to preoperative and operative factors with an impact on outcomes.

Dumitrascu T. Preservation of Pancreatic Function Should Not Be Disregarded When Performing Pancreatectomies for Pancreatoblastoma in Children. Pediatr Rep 2024; 16:385-398. [PMID: 38804376 PMCID: PMC11130799 DOI: 10.3390/pediatric16020033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Complete surgical resection in the context of a multimodal approach has been associated with excellent long-term survival in children diagnosed with pancreatoblastoma (PB). Traditionally, curative intent surgery for PB implies standard pancreatic resections such as pancreaticoduodenectomies and distal pancreatectomies with splenectomies, surgical procedures that may lead to significant long-term pancreatic functional deficiencies. Postoperative pancreatic functional deficiencies are particularly interesting to children because they may interfere with their development, considering their long life expectancy and the significant role of pancreatic functions in their nutritional status and growth. Thus, organ-sparing pancreatectomies, such as spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomies and central pancreatectomies, are emerging in specific tumoral pathologies in children. However, data about organ-sparing pancreatectomies' potential role in curative-intent PB surgery in children are scarce. Based on the literature data, the current review aims to present the early and late outcomes of pancreatectomies in children (including long-term deficiencies and their potential impact on the development and quality of life), particularly for PB, and further explore the potential role of organ-sparing pancreatectomies for PB. Organ-sparing pancreatectomies are associated with better long-term pancreatic functional outcomes, particularly central pancreatectomies, and have a reduced impact on children's development and quality of life without jeopardizing their oncological safety. The long-term preservation of pancreatic functions should not be disregarded when performing pancreatectomies for PB in children. A subset of patients with PB might benefit from organ-sparing pancreatectomies, particularly from central pancreatectomies, with the same oncological results as standard pancreatectomies but with significantly less impact on long-term functional outcomes.

Long-term impact of replaced right hepatic artery resection in pancreaticoduodenectomy. Updates Surg 2024:10.1007/s13304-024-01811-9. [PMID: 38526700 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-024-01811-9] [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: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
The clinical impact of replaced right hepatic artery (rRHA) resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not been thoroughly investigated. We therefore assessed the short- and long-term effects of rRHA resection during PD, with special reference to alterations in the volumetric profile of the liver. Patients with rRHA were divided into two groups based on the presence (R group) or absence (nR group) of resection. The nR group included cases of rRHA resection and reconstruction. We compared the postoperative short-term complications and detailed liver volume profile by CT volumetry in the long term between the R and nR groups. Forty-seven patients were eligible for the analyses of short-term outcomes (R: n = 7, nR: n = 40), and no marked difference was observed in the incidence of short-term postoperative complications. The patient cohort for the long-term investigations included 34 cases (R: n = 6, nR: n = 28), excluding patients with early recurrence. There was no significant difference in the preoperative liver volume profiles between the two groups. At 12 postoperative months, although the whole liver (WL) volume did not significantly change in either group, the ratio of the volume of the anterior/posterior sections significantly increased in the R group (R: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.01 vs. 1.28, p < 0.05; nR: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.40 vs. 1.33, p = 0.99). Long-term rRHA resection did not significantly affect the WL volume with alteration of the liver volumetric profile of each section.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Partial pancreatectomy, commonly used for chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatic lesions, has diverse impacts on endocrine and metabolism system. The study aims to determine the global prevalence of new-onset, worsening, and resolution of diabetes following partial pancreatectomy. METHODS The authors searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from inception to October, 2023. DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model with Logit transformation was used. Sensitivity analysis, meta-regression, and subgroup analysis were employed to investigate determinants of the prevalence of new-onset diabetes. RESULTS A total of 82 studies involving 13 257 patients were included. The overall prevalence of new-onset diabetes after partial pancreatectomy was 17.1%. Univariate meta-regression indicated that study size was the cause of heterogeneity. Multivariable analysis suggested that income of country or area had the highest predictor importance (49.7%). For subgroup analysis, the prevalence of new-onset diabetes varied from 7.6% (France, 95% CI: 4.3-13.0) to 38.0% (UK, 95% CI: 28.2-48.8, P <0.01) across different countries. Patients with surgical indications for chronic pancreatitis exhibited a higher prevalence (30.7%, 95% CI: 21.8-41.3) than those with pancreatic lesions (16.4%, 95% CI: 14.3-18.7, P <0.01). The type of surgical procedure also influenced the prevalence, with distal pancreatectomy having the highest prevalence (23.7%, 95% CI: 22.2-25.3, P <0.01). Moreover, the prevalence of worsening and resolution of preoperative diabetes was 41.1 and 25.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative diabetes has a relatively high prevalence in patients undergoing partial pancreatectomy, which calls for attention and dedicated action from primary care physicians, specialists, and health policy makers alike.

[PMID: 37985579 DOI: 10.1111/ans.18775] [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: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) following enucleation is high, and prophylactic pancreaticojejunostomy (PPJ) is frequently performed. Minimally invasive enucleation (MEN) has been demonstrated to be safe and feasible, leaving most enucleation wounds exposed. METHODS The clinical data of 40 patients who underwent open enucleation with PPJ at our center between 2012 and 2021 were compared with those of 80 patients who underwent MEN. RESULTS The MEN group had better outcomes than the PPJ group in terms of intraoperative bleeding (50.0 versus 100.0 mL), postoperative semi-liquid diet recovery (2.0 versus 5.0 days), and postoperative length of stay (7.7 versus 12.5 days). While the MEN group had higher rates of complex enucleation (60.0% versus 40.0%), main pancreatic duct repair (32.5% versus 10.0%), discharge with drains (48.8% versus 25.0%), and grade B POPFs (47.5% versus 17.5%). Both surgical methods effectively preserved pancreatic function; however, two patients in the PPJ group experienced severe haemorrhaging and died. Additionally, during the follow-up period, gastrointestinal bleeding was found and discomfort in the surgical area was reported. CONCLUSION Pancreatic enucleation combined with PPJ should be avoided, and although a biochemical or grade B POPF may develop after MEN, it can be compensated for by preserving pancreatic function and ensuring a good long-term quality of life in the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The authors aimed to compare the differences in quality of life (QOL) and overall survival (OS) between duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) and pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) during long-term follow-up. DPPHR and PD have been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms and controlling malignancies, but there is ongoing debate over whether DPPHR has an advantage over PD in terms of long-term benefits. METHOD The authors searched the PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases for relevant studies comparing DPPHR and PD published before 1 May 2023. This study was registered with PROSPERO. Randomised controlled trials and non-randomised studies were included. The Mantel-Haenszel model and inverse variance method were used as statistical approaches for data synthesis. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the heterogeneity of the results. The primary outcome was the global QOL score, measured using the QLQ-C30 system. RESULTS The authors analysed ten studies involving 976 patients (456 DPPHR and 520 PD). The global QOL score did not differ significantly between the DPPHR and PD groups [standard mean difference (SMD) 0.21, 95% CI (-0.05, 0.46), P =0.109, I2 =70%]; however, the OS time of patients with DPPHR was significantly improved [hazard ratio 0.59, 95% CI (0.44, 0.77), P <0.001, I2 =0%]. The follow-up length may be an important source of heterogeneity. Studies with follow-up length between two to seven years showed better global QOL for DPPHR than for PD [SMD 0.43, 95% CI (0.23, 0.64), P <0.001, I2 =0%]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in any of the functional scales of the QLQ-C30 system (all P >0.05). On the symptom scale, patients in the DPPHR group had lower scores for fatigue, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, insomnia, and diarrhoea than those in the PD group (all P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in global QOL scores between the two surgeries; however, DPPHR had advantages over PD in terms of safer perioperative outcomes, lower long-term symptom scores, and longer OS times. Therefore, DPPHR should be recommended over PD for the treatment of benign pancreatic diseases and low-grade malignant tumours.

PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and Methods: Depending on the treatment tactics, patients were randomised to the main group (53 people) or the comparison group (54 people). The results of correction of obstructive jaundice by Roux-en-Y end to side hepaticojejunostomy (main group) and common bile duct prosthetics with self-expanding metal stents (comparison group) were compared. RESULTS Results: The use of self-expanding metal stents for internal drainage of the biliary system compared to hepaticojejunostomy operations reduced the incidence of postoperative complications by 29.9% (χ2=13.7, 95% CI 14.38-44.08, p=0.0002) and mortality by 7.5% (χ2=4.16, 95% CI -0.05-17.79, p=0.04). Within 8-10 months after biliary stenting, 11.1% (6/54) of patients developed recurrent jaundice and cholangitis, and another 7.4% (4/54) of patients developed duodenal stenosis with a tumour. These complications led to repeated hospitalisation and biliary restentation in 4 (7.4%) cases, and duodenal stenting by self-expanding metal stents in 4 (7.4%) patients. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The choice of biliodigestive shunting method should be selected depending on the expected survival time of patients. If the prognosis of survival is up to 8 months, it is advisable to perform prosthetics of the common bile duct with self-expanding metal stents, if more than 8 months, it is advisable to perform hepaticojejunal anastomosis with prophylactic gastrojejunal anastomosis.

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas in childhood and adolescence-an analysis of the German Registry for Rare Pediatric Tumors (STEP). Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:5341-5352. [PMID: 37733117 PMCID: PMC10746605 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05203-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) are the most common entity among pediatric pancreatic tumors. Still, these are rare tumors with an annual incidence of 0.1-0.2/1,000,000, and little is known about their optimal treatment. This analysis aimed to increase knowledge about the occurrence and treatment strategies of SPN in childhood. Data regarding diagnostics, treatment, and outcome of children aged 0-18 years with SPN recorded in the German Registry for Rare Pediatric Tumors (STEP) were analyzed. Thirty-eight patients were identified with a median age of 14.5 years at diagnosis (range: 8-18) and a female preponderance (81.6%). The most frequent location of the tumor was the pancreatic tail. In histopathological and immunohistochemical examination, pseudopapillary, solid, and cystic lesions as well as expression of beta-catenin, progesterone receptors, and cyclin D1 were the most common findings. All patients underwent surgical resection. Most patients underwent open resection, predominantly tail resection for tumors in the tail region and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy for tumors in the head region. The main postoperative sequela was exogenous pancreatic insufficiency (23.7%), especially with SPN in the pancreatic head. No recurrence occurred during follow-up, although two patients underwent resection with microscopic residue. CONCLUSION SPN of the pancreas in childhood are low-grade malignancies with usually favorable treatment outcomes. However, therapy can lead to relevant long-term sequelae. To prevent recurrence, complete surgical resection is recommended, sparing as much healthy pancreatic tissue as possible. Interdisciplinary collaboration between specialists is essential to optimize treatment. Molecular genetic analysis of these tumors could improve understanding of their genesis. WHAT IS KNOWN • Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are very rare tumors in childhood. • Little is known about tumorigenesis, and there are no specific guidelines for treatment and follow-up in pediatric patients. WHAT IS NEW • Characteristics, treatment, and outcome were comprehensively assessed in a large cohort of pediatric patients with SPN. • We propose recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of children with SPN, based on our analysis and considering published experience.

Abstract
Insulinoma is a multifaceted disease that poses several challenges in terms of clinical presentation, diagnostic work-up, and surgical management. The aim of this study was to describe diagnostic work-up, surgical management, and postoperative outcomes of patients with insulinoma. All consecutive patients who underwent surgery for insulinoma at San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy) between January 2008 and January 2022 were included. Overall, 98 patients were considered. The median delay between presenting symptoms and insulinoma diagnosis was 10 months (IQR, 4-21). Insulinoma diagnosis was made at our Institution in 45 patients, 20 of whom referred within 6 months from symptoms onset. In this subgroup, the median interval between symptoms presentation and insulinoma diagnosis was 4 months (IQR, 2-6), as compared to 14 months (IQR, 10-26) in patients (n = 25) who referred to our institution after 6 months from symptoms onset (p < .001). The insulinoma was localized preoperatively in all the cases. All patients underwent ≥1 high-quality imaging: computed tomography (CT: n = 87, sensitivity 84%), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI: n = 55, sensitivity 85%) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS: n = 79, sensitivity 100%). MRI identified the tumor in eight patients with negative CT. EUS localized the insulinoma in three patients with negative CT and negative MRI. Parenchyma-sparing resections were performed in 41 patients. Contact with major vessels, lesion close to Wirsung duct and suspect of malignancy were the main reasons to perform a formal resection. An early referral to high-volume centers is important for reducing diagnostic delay in patients with insulinoma. The diagnostic work-up of insulinoma frequently requires several imaging modalities to be performed, with EUS being the most sensitive one. Parenchyma-sparing surgery for insulinoma should be performed whenever technically and oncologically feasible.

Abstract
Being an underdiagnosed and under or insufficiently treated condition, surgical pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PSP) is the condition in which pancreatic enzymes are insufficient for digestion because of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery involving the upper GI tract, biliary ducts, or the pancreas, and and leading to potential malnutrition and deterioration in quality of life. Age, obesity, history of tobacco use, family history of diabetes, surgery due to a malignant tumor, presence of steatorrhea, jaundice, weight loss, and intraoperative findings of hard pancreatic texture have been associated with a higher risk of PSP. Pancreatoduodectomy (PD) has demonstrated an increased risk of developing PSP, with a prevalence between 19-100%. Distal pancreatectomy (DP) and central pancreatectomy (CenP) are associated with less risk of PSP, with a prevalence of 0-82% and 3.66-8.7%, respectively. In patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP), PSP was associated with 80% in Partington-Rochelle procedure, 86% in Frey procedure, 80% in duodenum preserving pancreatic head procedure, >60% in PD and 27.5-63% in DP. Fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) is a generally accepted tool for diagnosis. Treatment is recommended to start as soon as a diagnosis is achieved, or clinical suspicion is high. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy improves symptoms of malabsorption, facilitates weight gain, and ultimately improves patients' quality of life. Starting dosage is between 10,000-50,000 units in snacks and 50,000-75,000 units in main meals, administered throughout food intake, though further data specifically on PSP are needed. Follow-up in PSP is recommended on an on-demand basis, where malnutrition should be assessed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic benign, cystic, and neuroendocrine neoplasms are increasingly detected and recommended for surgical treatment. In multiorgan resection pancreatoduodenectomy or parenchyma-sparing, local extirpation is a challenge for decision-making regarding surgery-related early and late postoperative morbidity. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Libraries were searched for studies reporting early surgery-related complications following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and duodenum-preserving total (DPPHRt) or partial (DPPHRp) pancreatic head resection for benign tumors. Thirty-four cohort studies comprising data from 1099 patients were analyzed. In total, 654 patients underwent DPPHR and 445 patients PD for benign tumors. This review and meta-analysis does not need ethical approval. RESULTS Comparing DPPHRt and PD, the need for blood transfusion (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.10-0.41, p<0.01), re-intervention for serious surgery-related complications (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.31-0.73, p<0.001), and re-operation for severe complications (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.26-0.95, p=0.04) were significantly less frequent following DPPHRt. Pancreatic fistula B+C (19.0 to 15.3%, p=0.99) and biliary fistula (6.3 to 4.3%; p=0.33) were in the same range following PD and DPPHRt. In-hospital mortality after DPPHRt was one of 350 patients (0.28%) and after PD eight of 445 patients (1.79%) (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.10-1.09, p=0.07). Following DPPHRp, there was no mortality among the 192 patients. CONCLUSION DPPHR for benign pancreatic tumors is associated with significantly fewer surgery-related, serious, and severe postoperative complications and lower in-hospital mortality compared to PD. Tailored use of DPPHRt or DPPHRp contributes to a reduction of surgery-related complications. DPPHR has the potential to replace PD for benign tumors and premalignant cystic and neuroendocrine neoplasms of the pancreatic head.

Abstract
(1) Background: Patients with pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (PanNENs) often have a long overall survival. We evaluated determinants of quality of life (QoL) after surgery for PanNENs. (2) Methods: Patients operated on for a PanNEN in our center (1990-2021) received three EORTC QoL questionnaires (QLQ-C30, QLQ-GI.NET21, QLQ-PAN26). Six domains were selected as outcome variables (global QoL, physical function -PF, social function -SF, disease-related worries -DRWs, pain, upper-gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms) and evaluated in relation to the clinical variables. Statistical analysis was performed using R software v 4.2.2. (3) Results: One hundred and four patients enrolled showed a good global QoL (median 83.3). Old age was a determinant of worse global QoL (p 0.006) and worse PF (p 0.003). Multiple comorbidities (p 0.002) and old age (p 0.034) were associated with pain, while male gender was related to better PF (p 0.007) and less pain (p 0.012). Patients who had undergone parenchyma-sparing surgery demonstrated better PF (p 0.037), better SF (p 0.012), and less upper-GI symptoms (p 0.047). At multivariable analysis, age (p 0.005) and type of surgery (p 0.028) were confirmed as determinants of global QoL. (4) Conclusions: In patients operated on for a PanNEN, a good HRQoL is generally reported; notably, younger age and parenchyma-sparing surgery seem to positively affect HRQoL.

Abstract
Benign and premalignant neoplasms of the pancreas are increasingly detected and recommended for surgical treatment. For tumors of the pancreatic head, the challenging decision is: multiorgan resection or local tumor extirpation? Compared with pancreaticoduodenectomy, duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection is associated with significantly fewer surgery-related serious and severe complications and lower in-hospital mortality. The decisive advantage of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection is the maintenance of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic and upper gastrointestinal tract functions.

Successful treatment of postoperative nonobstructive recurrent cholangitis by tract conversion surgery after total pancreatectomy: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2023; 9:97.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cholangitis is a complication of biliary reconstruction during hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery. Most cases are associated with anastomotic stenosis, but there are also cases of cholangitis without stenosis, and treatment can be difficult, especially in patients with recurrent symptoms. In this report, we describe a case of repeated nonobstructive cholangitis in a patient after total pancreatectomy, in which a good outcome was obtained after performing tract conversion surgery. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 75-year-old man. He underwent total pancreatectomy for stage IIA cancer of the pancreatic body, hepaticojejunostomy via the posterior colonic route, gastrojejunostomy and Braun anastomosis via the anterior colonic route using the Billroth II method. The patient had a good postoperative course and was receiving adjuvant chemotherapy on an outpatient basis, but he developed his first episode of cholangitis 4 months after surgery. Although conservative treatment with antimicrobial agents was successful, the patient continued to have recurrent biliary cholangitis and was repeatedly admitted and discharged from the hospital. Since stenosis at the anastomosis was suspected, endoscopic observation of the anastomosis was performed using small bowel endoscopy for close examination, but no apparent stenosis was observed. Small bowel imaging indicated a possible influx of contrast medium into the bile duct, and reflux due to food residue was suspected as the cause of cholangitis. Since conservative treatment alone did not suppress the flare-up of symptoms, the decision was made to perform tract conversion surgery for curative purposes. The afferent loop was cut midstream, and jejunojejunostomy was performed downstream. The postoperative course was good, and the patient was discharged on the 10th day after surgery. He is currently an outpatient and has been free of cholangitis symptoms for 4 years without cancer recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Although the diagnosis of nonobstructive retrograde cholangitis can be difficult, surgical treatment should be considered in patients with recurrent symptoms and refractory treatment.

Middle Segment-Preserving Pancreatectomy to Avoid Pancreatic Insufficiency: Individual Patient Data Analysis of All Published Cases from 2003-2021. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12052013.

Abstract
Middle segment-preserving pancreatectomy (MPP) can treat multilocular diseases in the pancreatic head and tail while avoiding impairments caused by total pancreatectomy (TP). We conducted a systematic literature review of MPP cases and collected individual patient data (IPD). MPP patients (N = 29) were analyzed and compared to a group of TP patients (N = 14) in terms of clinical baseline characteristics, intraoperative course, and postoperative outcomes. We also conducted a limited survival analysis following MPP. Pancreatic functionality was better preserved following MPP than TP, as new-onset diabetes and exocrine insufficiency each occurred in 29% of MPP patients compared to near-ubiquitous prevalence among TP patients. Nevertheless, POPF Grade B occurred in 54% of MPP patients, a complication avoidable with TP. Longer pancreatic remnants were a prognostic indicator for shorter and less eventful hospital stays with fewer complications, whereas complications of endocrine functionality were associated with older patients. Long-term survival prospects after MPP appeared strong (median up to 110 months), but survival was lower in cases with recurring malignancies and metastases (median < 40 months). This study demonstrates MPP is a feasible treatment alternative to TP for selected cases because it can avoid pancreoprivic impairments, but at the risk of perioperative morbidity.

Shah P, Patel V, Ashkar M. De novo non-alcoholic fatty liver disease after pancreatectomy: A systematic review. World J Clin Cases 2022; 10:12946-12958. [PMID: 36569000 PMCID: PMC9782952 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i35.12946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As operative techniques and mortality rates of pancreatectomy have improved, there has been a shift in focus to maintaining and improving the nutritional status of these patients as we continue to learn more about post-operative complications. Although pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiencies are known complications of pancreatectomy, increased longevity of these patients has also led to a higher incidence of de novo fatty liver disease which differs from traditional fatty liver disease given the lack of metabolic syndrome.
AIM To identify and summarize patterns and risk factors of post-pancreatectomy de novo fatty liver disease to guide future management.
METHODS We performed a database search on PubMed selecting papers published between 2001 and 2022 in the English language. PubMed was last accessed 1 June 2022.
RESULTS Various factors influence the development of de novo fatty liver including indication for surgery (benign vs malignant), type of pancreatectomy, amount of pancreas remnant, and peri-operative nutritional status. With an incidence rate up to 75%, de novo non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can develop within 12 mo after pancreatectomy and various risk factors have been established including pancreatic resection line and remnant pancreas volume, peri-operative malnutrition and weight loss, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (EPI), malignancy as the indication for surgery, and postmenopausal status.
CONCLUSION Since majority of risk factors leads to EPI and malnutrition, peri-operative focus on nutrition and enzymes replacement is key in preventing and treating de novo NAFLD after pancreatectomy.

Robotic parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy and pancreas-sparing duodenectomy avoid pancreaticoduodenectomy for benign and low-grade malignant tumours. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:3843-3850. [PMID: 35980486 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02633-2] [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: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy (PSP) or pancreas-sparing duodenectomy (PSD) is an alternative method for patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumours at the pancreatic head or duodenum. It avoids traumatic pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with pancreatic function preservation and improves quality of life. However, few studies have reported on robotic PSP (RPSP) or robotic PSD (RPSD). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 17 patients with benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic head and duodenal tumours who underwent RPSP or RPSD from January 2018 to February 2022 was conducted. The demographic, perioperative, and postoperative data of all patients were collected and analysed. RESULTS The operations were successful for all seventeen patients without conversion, including 10 cases of RPSP and 7 cases of RPSD. For RPSP, eight patients underwent pancreatic enucleation, and two patients underwent uncinate process resection. For RPSD, five patients underwent local duodenectomy, and two patients underwent segmental duodenectomy, with five simultaneous jejunostomies and two distal gastrectomies. The median OT and EBL were 135 min and 50 mL for RPSP and 220 min and 100 mL for RPSD, respectively. The median LOS was 8 days for RPSP and 19 days for RPSD. The main postoperative complications for RPSP included POPF (grade B, 6 cases), DGE (grade B, 1 case), PPH (1 case), and intra-abdominal infection (1 case). The main postoperative complications for RPSD included DGE (grade B, 1 case, grade C, 3 cases), postoperative haemorrhage (1 case), intra-abdominal infection (1 case), and duodenal fistula (1 case). One patient underwent interventional drain placement after RPSP because of POPF. CONCLUSION RPSP or RPSD is feasible for highly selected patients with benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic head and duodenal tumours, avoiding potential pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection with real-time indocyanine green guidance of different dosage and timing: enhanced safety with visualized biliary duct and its long-term metabolic morbidity. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:2823-2832. [PMID: 35854048 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02570-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (L-DPPHR) is technically demanding with extreme difficulty in biliary preservation. Only a few reports of L-DPPHR are available with alarming bile leakage, and none of them revealed the long-term metabolic outcomes. For the first time, our study explored the different dosage and timing of indocyanine green (ICG) for guiding L-DPPHR and described the long-term metabolic results. METHODS Between October 2015 and January 2021, different dosage and timing of ICG were administrated preoperatively and evaluated intra-operatively using Image J software to calculate the relative fluorescence intensity ratio of signal-to-noise contrast between bile duct and pancreas. Short-term complications and long-term metabolic disorder were collected in a prospectively maintained database and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Twenty-five patients were enrolled without conversion to laparotomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy. Administrating a dosage of 0.5 mg/kg 24 h before the operation had the highest relative fluorescence intensity ratio of 19.3, and it proved to guide the biliary tract the best. Fifty-six percent of patients suffered from postoperative complications with 48% experiencing pancreatic fistula and 4% having bile leakage. No one suffered from the duodenal necrosis, and there was no mortality. When compared with the non-ICG group, the ICG group had a comparable diameter of tumor and similar safety distance from lesions to common bile duct; however, it decreased the incidence of bile leakage from 10% to none. The median length of hospital stay was 16 days. After a median follow-up of 26.6 months, no one had tumor recurrence or refractory cholangitis. No postoperative new onset of diabetes mellitus (pNODM) was observed, while pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (pPEI) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were seen in 4% of patients 12 months after the L-DPPHR. CONCLUSION L-DPPHR is feasible and safe in selected patients, and real-time ICG imaging with proper dosage and timing may greatly facilitate the identification and the prevention of biliary injury. And it seemed to be oncological equivalent to PD with preservation of metabolic function without refractory cholangitis.

Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic technique has been increasingly applied in the treatment of selected pancreatic tumors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the experience with laparoscopic enucleation of pancreatic neoplasms (LEPNs), for selected pancreatic diseases, at a high-volume referral center. Methods: Between May 2012 and October 2020, LEPNs was attempted in 16 patients with selected pancreatic neoplasms. The localization of tumors, etiology, indications, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results: Sixteen patients were included. LEPN was successfully performed in 13 patients, 3 conversions to open procedure were required. The definitive histopathological result of the resected pieces showed prevalence of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. Postoperative major complications occurred for 3 patients (18.7%), the 3 of them presented postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). The median hospital stay was 4.5 days (range 2-7) for patients without POPF and 14.6 days (3-30) for those who presented with POPF. No deaths were registered. During a median follow-up of 43.8 months (0.2-109), no new-onset exocrine or endocrine insufficiency was diagnosed, no patient experienced tumor recurrence and, the 4 patients who underwent LEPN for insulinoma, remained asymptomatic. Conclusion: LEPNs has become a valuable alternative for patients with benign or low risk of malignancy tumors. Appropriate preoperative imaging is key for localization. Whenever feasible, this technique not only reduces the risks of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency, but also adds the well-known advantages of minimally invasive techniques, making it a safe and feasible treatment.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungLaut aktuellen revidierten Fukuoka-Leitlinien besteht die Indikation zur Resektion von BD-IPMN des Pankreas mit Worrisome Features, da hier ein Risiko der malignen Entartung von bis zu 30%
besteht. Die Resektion kann bei fehlenden klinischen, bildmorphologischen und laborchemischen Malignitätszeichen als eine nicht anatomische, lokale Exzision durchgeführt werden.Eine robotische Enukleation bei benignen Raumforderungen der Bauchspeicheldrüse stellt eine sehr gute Alternative zu den resezierenden Verfahren, insbesondere zu denjenigen in offener
Technik, dar. Diese operative Behandlungsoption wird bei einem Mindestabstand bis zum pankreatischen Hauptgang von mindestens 2 mm im „International consensus statement on robotic pancreatic
surgery“ nahegelegt.Neben den bekannten Vorteilen der minimalinvasiven Chirurgie führt diese parenchymsparende Methode zum Erhalt von endo- und exokriner Funktion (ca. 90%) und zu einem progressfreien
10-Jahres-Überleben von ca. 75% bei etwas erhöhter Morbidität (ca. 60%) verglichen mit den resezierenden Verfahren.Der folgende Videobeitrag präsentiert das Operationsvideo einer robotischen Zystenenukleation (bei Verdacht auf eine BD-IPMN mit Worrisome Features) im Pankreaskopf und Processus uncinatus
bei einer 62-jährigen Patientin mit besonderer Betonung der wichtigsten vaskulären Landmarken, Besonderheiten der Herangehensweise und Vorteile der robotischen Technik.

Abstract
Pancreatic tumors in children are infrequently encountered in clinical practice. Their non-specific clinical presentation and overlapping imaging characteristics often make an accurate preoperative diagnosis difficult. Tumors are categorized as epithelial or non-epithelial, with epithelial tumors further classified as tumors of the exocrine or endocrine pancreas. Although both are tumors of the exocrine pancreas, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm is the most prevalent solid pancreatic tumor in children, while pancreatoblastoma is the most common malignant tumor. Insulinoma is the most common pediatric pancreatic tumor of the endocrine pancreas. Malignant tumors require a complete, often radical, surgical resection. However, pancreatic parenchyma-sparing surgical procedures are utilized for benign tumors and low-grade malignancy to preserve gland function. This review will discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical and diagnostic characteristics, and management options associated with both common and rare solid pancreatic masses in children. We will also discuss current challenges encountered in their evaluation and treatment.
