[PMID: 37221416 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10083-0] [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: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ampullary adenomas are treated both surgically and endoscopically, however, data comparing both techniques are lacking. We aimed to compare long-term recurrence of benign sporadic adenomas after endoscopic (EA) and surgical ampullectomy (SA). METHODS A comprehensive literature search of multiple databases (until December 29, 2020) was performed to identify studies reporting outcomes of EA or SA of benign sporadic ampullary adenomas. The outcome was recurrence rate at 1 year, 2-year, 3 year and 5 years after EA and SA. RESULTS A total of 39 studies with 1753 patients (1468 EA [age 61.1 ± 4.0 years, size 16.1 ± 4.0 mm], 285 SA [mean age 61.6 ± 4.48 years, size 22.7 ± 5.4 mm]) were included in the analysis. At year 1, pooled recurrence rate of EA was 13.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.5-15.9], I2 = 31%) as compared to SA 14.1% (95% CI 9.5-20.3 I2 = 15.8%) (p = 0.82). Two (12.5%, [95% CI, 8.9-17.2] vs. 14.3 [95% CI, 9.1-21.6], p = 0.63), three (13.3%, [95% CI, 7.3-21.6] vs. 12.9 [95% CI, 7.3-21.6], p = 0.94) and 5 years (15.7%, [95% CI, 7.8-29.1] vs. 17.6% [95% CI, 6.2-40.8], p = 0.85) recurrence rate were comparable after EA and SA. On meta-regression, age, size of lesion or enbloc and complete resection were not significant predictors of recurrence. CONCLUSION EA and SA of sporadic adenomas have similar recurrence rates at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years of follow up.

Transduodenal ampullectomy for early ampullary cancer: Clinical management, histopathological findings and long-term outcomes at a single center. Surgery 2023; 173:912-919. [PMID: 36697354 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transduodenal ampullectomy has been attempted in ampullary tumors, including early ampullary cancer. However, the indication and extent of transduodenal ampullectomy with curative intent remain controversial. Herein, we address the perioperative and long-term outcomes of patients with early ampullary cancer who underwent transduodenal ampullectomy at a single center. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 10 early ampullary cancer patients who underwent transduodenal ampullectomy and 11 early ampullary cancer patients who underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy at Saitama Cancer Center between October 2008 and May 2021. Among this cohort, we analyzed the perioperative outcomes and long-term outcomes. RESULTS In terms of the perioperative outcomes between the transduodenal ampullectomy and subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy groups, the transduodenal ampullectomy group exhibited a shorter operating time (244 minutes vs 390 minutes, P = .003), less intraoperative blood loss (67.5 grams vs 774 grams, P = .006) and shorter length of postoperative hospital stay (15 days vs 33 days). With respect to the postoperative nutrition status, the transduodenal ampullectomy group exhibited less postoperative weight loss (0.67% vs 8.95%, P = .021), a better Controlling Nutritional Status score (1.0 vs 2.1, P = .011) and a better Prognostic Nutritional Index score (42.9 vs 40.9, P = .018). The 5-year survival in the adenoma with high-grade dysplasia and T1 ampullary cancer which invaded the mucosal layer groups was 100%, whereas the median survival time in the T1 ampullary cancer which invaded the sphincter of Oddi group was 20.7 months (P = .0028). CONCLUSION Transduodenal ampullectomy is assumed to be a feasible and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of selected patients with early ampullary cancer, including patients with adenoma with high-grade dysplasia or T1 ampullary cancer which invaded the mucosal layer ampullary cancer.

Abstract
Trans-duodenal surgical ampullectomy (TSA) was first described in 1899. Nowadays its role in ampullary tumor surgery is still a matter of debate and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of TSA as a curative treatment for benign and selected malignant tumors arising from the ampulla in a single-institution experience. Sixteen patients with periampullary tumors that underwent TSA in our surgical units between January 2012 and January 2017 were included in the study. Patient demographic characteristics, pre or postoperative endoscopic interventions, operative procedures, postoperative morbidity and mortality, hospitalization, follow-up time, and quality of life questionnaire were analyzed. Mean operative time was 238.5 min (range 180-390), mean tumor size was 2.3 cm (range 1.5-3.9). The microscopic surgical outcome was R0 for 14 patients. The most frequent findings in terms of histological type were high-grade dysplasia/pTis (43.7%), low-grade dysplasia in 37.5% patients, invasive adenocarcinoma in 2 cases (12.5%), chronic inflammation in 1 case (6.3%). The readmission rate was 18.8% (3/16) and in 2 cases (12.5%) relaparotomy was required. The cumulative median duration of follow-up was 50 months (range 1-96). 90-days mortality was 6.2%. Mean hospital stay was 12 days (range 8-60). Our results confirm that TSA offers good results in terms of morbidity and mortality; still, it remains a challenging procedure that requires particular surgical experience and operative skills. A pre-operative planning in a multidisciplinary board should be carried out prior to the procedure.

Abstract
Purpose Transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) has been reported in a limited number of cases and in a small number of case series. The aim of this study was to analyze perioperative and long-term oncological outcomes of patients with ampullary tumors who underwent TDA in a single large-volume center. Methods Through a retrospective review of data from 2004 to 2016, we identified 26 patients who underwent TDA at Asan Medical Center. Results Eleven of 26 patients underwent TDA for T1 and carcinoma in situ (high-grade dysplasia) cancer; these patients are still alive without recurrence. A major in-hospital complication (3.8%) occurred in 1 case, but there was no case of 90-day mortality. In addition, none of the patients was diagnosed as having newly developed diabetes mellitus after TDA. No significant differences were found between open and laparoscopic-TDA in terms of operation time, painkiller use, and hospital stay. Conclusion TDA is a feasible and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of selected patients with ampullary tumors. It is an alternative treatment option in cases of ampullary tumors not amenable to endoscopic papillectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
Extension of ampulloma into the lower common bile duct (CBD) is observed in up to 30% of cases. This biliary extension can prevent complete tumor resection thus is considered as a contraindication for endoscopic and even surgical ampullectomy. For ampullomas associated with a prolonged biliary extension, a pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with a high morbidity and can be considered as an overtreatment for a benign neoplasm. The present study describes a new surgical approach including ampullectomy with complete resection of the intrapancreatic CBD and restoration of both biliary and pancreatic flow by two separate anastomoses. This procedure was performed in seven patients for a non-invasive ampulloma with a 25- to 70-mm CBD involvement. No patients died and three developed postoperative complications. Resection was R0 in all patients but one. With a 24-month median follow-up (range = 3-84), no patients developed pancreatic insufficiency or tumor recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Extension of ampullary adenomas into the common bile duct (CBD) or pancreatic duct (PD) may be difficult to treat endoscopically. We evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the management of ampullary neoplasms with intraductal extension. METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective analysis of all patients with intraductal extension of ampullary neoplasms treated with endoscopic RFA between February 2012 and June 2015. Treatment success was defined as the absence of detectable intraductal polyps by ductography, visual inspection, and biopsy sampling. RESULTS Fourteen patients with adenoma extension into the CBD (13 ± 7 mm, n = 14) and PD (7 ± 2 mm, n = 3) underwent a median of 1 RFA sessions (range, 1-5). Additional modalities (thermal probes, argon plasma coagulation, and/or photodynamic therapy) were also used in 7 patients, and prophylactic stents were routinely placed. Thirteen assessable patients underwent a median of 2 surveillance ERCPs after completion of treatment over a median follow-up of 16 months (range, 5-46), with intraductal biopsy specimens showing no neoplasm in 12 patients at the conclusion of endoscopic treatment. Treatment success was achieved in 92%, including 100% of those treated with RFA alone. Adverse events occurred in 43% and included ductal strictures (5 patients) and retroduodenal abscess (1 patient), all of which were successfully treated endoscopically. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic RFA, alone or in combination with other modalities, may effectively treat intraductal extension of ampullary neoplasms. Ductal strictures were common after RFA but responded to endoscopic stent therapy. RFA may be appropriate in selected patients, particularly when the main treatment alternative is pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
This study describes the case of the youngest patient ever reported with ampullary adenoma. The incidence of ampullary adenomas in childhood is unknown. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound are used in adults to assess and treat these lesions, although there are no instruments designed specifically for use in young children. A six-year-old girl was admitted for abdominal pain, vomiting, pruritus and weight loss. Abdominal ultrasound showed biliary tree (8mm) and pancreatic duct dilatation (4mm). Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and computed tomography confirmed these findings, and also showed displacement of the ampulla to the left upper quadrant. An upper endoscopy confirmed a large ampullary adenoma. A laparotomy was performed and a 5cm villous tumour arising from the ampulla was excised. The postoperative course was uneventful. The histology demonstrated adenoma of the ampulla (intestinal type) without low-grade dysplasia. all clinical and radiological parameters are normal at 20 months follow-up. We describe the case of the youngest patient ever reported with ampullary adenoma. Pancreaticoduodenectomy carries high morbidity and mortality rates, and therefore it should be avoided in absence of histologically proven malignancy. We believe that surgical ampullectomy is a safe and oncologically correct procedure until better endoscopic instruments for peadiatric use will be designed.

Abstract
Non-invasive ampullary tumors, may be treated with endoscopic (EA) or surgical ampullectomy (SA). However, evidence on the morbidity of these techniques remains limited. This pilot study aimed to assess and compare morbidity of EA and SA. Patients undergoing EA or SA for non-invasive ampullary tumors were retrospectively analyzed and compared. Outcomes were postoperative complications graded with Clavien Classification and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI), and length of stay (LoS). A review of the literature was performed to propose an evidence-based algorithm to treat ampullary tumors. A total of 11 EA and 19 SA were identified and analyzed. EA was associated with shorter intervention (51 vs. 191 min, p < 0.001) and decreased blood loss (0 vs. 100 mL, p < 0.001). Postoperative complications were more frequent after surgery compared to endoscopy (9% vs. 68%, p = 0.002). Surgical patients showed a higher CCI (0 vs. 8.7, p < 0.001). LoS was reduced in patients undergoing endoscopy (0 vs. 14 days, p < 0.001), with comparable readmissions rates (p = 0.126). Necessity of subsequent treatment was more frequent after endoscopic, compared to SA (5 vs. 1, p = 0.016). EA was associated with lower morbidity than SA and appeared as an appropriate first-line treatment for non-invasive ampullary tumors. SA remains a valuable alternative after EA failure.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) compared to conventional pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with early ampullary cancers. Methods We carried out a retrospective study by reviewing the medical records of 43 patients with early ampullary cancer who underwent either TDA or PD from January 2001 to December 2014. TDA and PD were performed on 22 patients and 21 patients, respectively. Clinical data, perioperative clinical outcomes and prognosis were evaluated. The median follow-up was 75 (range, 38–143) months. Results The sensitivity of intraoperative frozen resection was 100 % (4/4) and 94.9 % (37/39) in patients with pTis and pT1 tumors compared to final histologic diagnoses. The 5-year survival rate of patients with early ampullary cancer was 77.3 % in TDA group and 75.9 % in PD group (P = 0.927). Patients with lymph node metastasis presented a shorter 5-year survival rate (P = 0.014). TDA was associated with lower surgical morbidity (P = 0.033), estimated blood loss (P = 0.002), medical cost (P = 0.028) compared to PD. No pancreatic fistula and surgical mortality occurred in TDA group. Conclusions TDA could produce satisfactory clinical efficiency in patients fulfilled the following criteria simultaneously: pTis or pT1 stage, tumor size ≤ 2 cm, without lymph node metastasis. To achieve favorable outcomes, intraoperative frozen section examinations should be reliable and resection margins should be negative.

Abstract
Historically, neoplasia of the duodenal papilla has been managed surgically, which may be associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. In the absence of invasive cancer, even lesions with extensive lateral duodenal wall involvement, or limited intraductal extension may be cured endoscopically with a superior safety profile. Endoscopic papillectomy is associated with greater risks of adverse events such as bleeding than resection elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally site-specific complications such as pancreatitis exist. A structured approach to lesion assessment, adherence to technical aspects of resection, endoscopic management of complications and post-resection surveillance is required. Advances have been made in all facets of endoscopic papillary resection since its introduction in the 1980s; extending the boundaries of endoscopic cure, optimizing outcomes and enhancing patient safety. These will be the focus of the present review.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Benign neoplastic, inflammatory or functional pathologies of the ampulla of Vater are mainly treated by primary endoscopic interventions. Consequently, transduodenal surgical ampullectomy (TSA) has been abandoned in many centres, although it represents an important tool not only after unsuccessful endoscopic treatment. The aim of the study was to analyse TSA for benign lesions of the ampulla of Vater. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients who underwent TSA between 2001 and 2014 were included. Patients were analysed in terms of indications, postoperative morbidity and mortality as well as long-term success. RESULTS Eighty-three patients underwent TSA. Indications included adenomas in 44 and inflammatory stenosis in 39 patients. 96% of the patients had undergone endoscopic therapeutic approaches prior to TSA (median no. of interventions n = 3). Postoperative morbidity occurred in 20 patients (24%). There was one procedure-associated death (mortality 1.2%). The mean follow-up was 54 months. Long-term overall success rate for TSA was 83.6%. After TSA for ampullary adenoma, the recurrence rate was 4.5%. CONCLUSION TSA is an underestimated surgical procedure, which can be performed safely with high long-term efficacy. It can be implemented in clinical algorithms for patients with benign pathologies of the ampulla of Vater, particularly after unsuccessful endoscopic treatment.

Abstract
Papillary tumors originate from the various structures of the ampulla of Vater; therefore, these rare tumors represent a heterogeneous group of tumor entities. Intestinal differentiated adenomas are the most common benign lesions, whereas intestinal differentiated papillary carcinomas are the most common malignant tumors. Carcinomas with pancreaticobiliary differentiation have a poorer prognosis. Mesenchymal and neuroendocrine tumors are among the least frequent papillary tumors. Diagnosis is performed by side-view upper endoscopy and biopsy. In cases of suspected malignancy a complete staging with computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasound scanning is indicated to determine local tumor spread.Adenomas are removed by endoscopic snare papillectomy whereas the therapy of choice for papillary carcinomas is pancreatic head resection with systematic lymphadenectomy. Patients with papillary carcinomas are most likely to benefit from adjuvant therapy, which should be determined in an interdisciplinary consensus conference considering the histological differentiation of the tumor.
