Abstract
INTRODUCTION Controversy exists in the literature as to the best technique for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), whether pyloric preservation (PP-CPD) or Whipple's technique (with antrectomy [W-CPD]), the former being associated with a higher frequency of delayed gastric emptying (DGE). METHODS Retrospective and comparative study between PP-CPD technique (n = 124 patients) and W-CPD technique (n = 126 patients), in patients who were operated for tumors of the pancreatic head and periampullary region between the period 2012 and 2023. RESULTS Surgical time was longer, although not significant, with the W-CPD technique. Pancreatic and peripancreatic tumor invasion (p = 0.031) and number of lymph nodes resected (p < 0.0001) reached statistical significance in W-CPD, although there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of lymph node tumor invasion. Regarding postoperative morbimortality (medical complications, postoperative pancreatic fistula [POPF], hemorrhage, RVG, re-interventions, in-hospital mortality, Clavien-Dindo complications), ICU and hospital stay, no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups. During follow-up, no significant differences were observed between the groups for morbidity and mortality at 90 days and survival at 1, 3 and 5 years. Binary logistic regression analysis for DGE showed that binary relevant POPF grade B/C was a significant risk factor for DGE. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative morbidity and mortality and long-term survival were not significantly different with PP-CPD and W-CPD, but POPF grade B/C was a risk factor for DGE grade C.

Abstract
The morbidity and mortality of pancreatic cancer surgery has seen substantial improvement due to the standardization of surgical techniques, the optimization of perioperative multidisciplinary management and the organization of specialized care systems. The identification and treatment of postoperative functional and nutritional sequelae have thereby become major issues in patients who undergo pancreatic surgery. This review addresses the functional sequelae of pancreatic resection for cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions (excluding chronic pancreatitis). Its aim is to specify the prevalence and severity of sequelae according to the type of pancreatic resection and to document, where appropriate, the therapeutic management. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (ExPI) is observed in nearly one out of three patients at one year after surgery, and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EnPI) is present in one out of five patients after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and one out of three patients after distal pancreatectomy (DP). In addition, digestive functional disorders may appear, such as delayed gastric emptying (DGE), which affects 10 to 45% of patients after PD and nearly 8% after DP. Beyond these functional sequelae, pancreatic surgery can also induce nutritional and vitamin deficiencies secondary to a lack of uptake for certain vitamins or to the loss of absorption site in the duodenum. In addition to the treatment of ExPI with oral pancreatic enzymes, nutritional management is based on a high-calorie, high-protein diet with normal lipid intake in frequent small feedings, combined with vitamin supplementation adapted to monitored deficiencies. Better knowledge of the functional consequences of pancreatic cancer surgery can improve the overall management of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frequent complication after pancreatoduodenectomy, especially after pylorus preservation (Pp). We evaluated the effect of a fully robotic approach with da Vinci Xi on DGE after PpPD. METHODS Open and robotic PDs were performed in 353 and 50 cases, respectively, from January 2009 to March 2022. We compared the clinical outcomes and incidence of clinically relevant DGE between robotic PpPD (R-PpPD) and open PpPD after one-to-one case-control matching. RESULTS Each group consisted of 30 patients. Clinically relevant DGE was less common after R-PpPD (3/30 [10%] vs. 10/30 cases [33.3%], p = 0.028). The median length of hospital stay (LoS) was significantly lower in the R-PpPD group (10 vs. 15 days, p = 0.013). CONCLUSION The reduced tissue trauma by the minimally invasive robotic approach is associated with a lower incidence of DGE, reducing the LoS and encouraging PpPD performed using the fully robotic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) for ampullar adenoma with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or adenocarcinoma is insufficient. Here we investigated the long-term outcomes of the advanced ampullary tumors treated by EP with careful surveillance comparing to subsequent surgery after EP. METHODS Patients treated with EP for ampullary adenoma with HGD or adenocarcinoma from the multi-center retrospective Korean cohort of ampulla of Vater tumor were categorized into EP alone versus EP with subsequent surgery groups. The overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed for unmatched and matched cohorts using propensity score with nearest neighbor method. RESULTS During a median 43.3 months of follow-up, 5-year OS was not significantly different between the EP alone and EP surgery groups (91.9% vs. 82.3%, P = 0.443 for unmatched cohort; 89.2% vs. 82.3%, P = 0.861 for matched cohort, respectively). Furthermore, 5-year RFS was not significantly different between the two groups (82.1% vs. 86.7%, P = 0.520 for unmatched cohort; 66.1% vs. 86.7%, P = 0.052 for matched cohort, respectively). However, the patients with positive both (lateral and deep) margins showed significantly poorer survival outcomes than those with negative margins within the EP alone group (P = 0.007). CONCLUSION EP alone with careful surveillance showed comparable survival outcomes to those of EP with subsequent surgery for ampullar HGD or adenocarcinoma. Resection margin status could be a parameter to determine whether to perform subsequent radical surgery after EP.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Prehabilitation aims for preoperative optimisation to reduce postoperative complications. However, there is a paucity of data on its use in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Thus, this study aims to evaluate the outcomes of a home-based outpatient prehabilitation program (PP) versus no-PP in patients undergoing PD. METHODS This retrospective cohort study compared patients who underwent PP versus no-PP before elective PD from January 2016 to December 2020. Inclusion criteria for PP were < 65 years or 65-74 years with FRAIL score < 3. No-PP included dietician, case manager and anesthesia review. PP included additional physiotherapy sessions, caregiver training and interim phone consultation. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate length of stay (LOS), morbidity, 30-day readmission, and 90-day mortality. RESULTS Seventy-one patients (PP: n = 50 [70.4%]; no-PP: n = 21 [29.6%]) were included in this study. Median age was 65 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 58-72 years). Majority (n = 58 [81.7%]) of patients underwent open surgery. Ductal adenocarcinoma was the most common histology (49.3%). Patient demographics were comparable between both groups. Overall median LOS was 11.0 days (IQR: 8.0-17.0 days). Compared to no-PP, PP was not independently associated with reduced intra-abdominal collections (odds ratio [OR]: 0.43; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.03-6.11, p = 0.532), major morbidity (OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 0.09-19.47; p = 0.845) or 30-day readmission (OR: 3.16; 95% CI: 0.26-38.27; p = 0.365). There was one (1.4%) 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS Our outpatient PP with unsupervised exercise regimes did not improve postoperative outcomes following elective PD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD) has been the gold standard for pancreatic head lesion resection for several years. Some studies have noted that it involves more delayed gastric emptying (DGE) than classical Whipple (i.e., pancreatoduodenectomy with antrectomy). Our working hypothesis was that the classical Whipple has a lower incidence of DGE. We aimed to compare the incidence of DGE among pancreatoduodenectomy techniques. METHODS This pragmatic, randomized, open-label, single-center clinical trial involved patients who underwent classical Whipple (study group) or PPPD (control group). Gastric emptying was clinically evaluated using scintigraphy. DGE was defined according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) criteria. The secondary endpoints were postoperative morbidity, length of hospital stay, anthropometric measurements, and nutritional status. RESULTS A total of 84 patients were randomized (42 per group). DGE incidence was 50% (20/40, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 35-65%) in the study group and 62% (24/39, 95% CI: 46-75%) in the control group (p = 0.260). No differences were observed between both groups regarding postoperative morbidity or length of hospital stay. Anthropometric measurements at 6 months post-surgery: triceps fold measurements were 12 mm and 16 mm (p = 0.021). At 5 weeks post-surgery, triceps fold measurements were 13 mm and 16 mm (p = 0.020) and upper arm circumferences were 26 cm and 28 cm (p = 0.030). No significant differences were observed in nutritional status. CONCLUSION DGE incidence and severity did not differ between classical Whipple and PPPD. Some anthropometric measurements may indicate a better recovery with PPPD. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03984734.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the eighth most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in Korea. Despite the increasing incidence and high mortality rate of pancreatic cancer, there are no appropriate surgical practice guidelines for the current domestic medical situation. To enable standardization of management and facilitate improvements in surgical outcome, a total of 10 pancreatic surgical experts who are members of Korean Association of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery have developed new recommendations that integrate the most up-to-date, evidence-based research findings and expert opinions. This is an English version of the Korean Surgical Practice Guideline for Pancreatic Cancer 2021. This guideline includes 13 surgical questions and 15 statements. Due to the lack of high-level evidence, strong recommendation is almost impossible. However, we believe that this guideline will help surgeons understand the current status of evidence and suggest what to investigate further to establish more solid recommendations in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer remains one of the five leading causes of cancer deaths in industrialised nations. For adenocarcinomas in the head of the gland and premalignant lesions, partial pancreaticoduodenectomy represents the standard treatment for resectable tumours. The gastro- or duodenojejunostomy after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy can be reestablished via either an antecolic or retrocolic route. The debate about the more favourable technique for bowel reconstruction is ongoing. OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness and safety of antecolic and retrocolic gastro- or duodenojejunostomy after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy. SEARCH METHODS In this updated version, we conducted a systematic literature search up to 6 July 2021 to identify all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), the Cochrane Library 2021, Issue 6, MEDLINE (1946 to 6 July 2021), and Embase (1974 to 6 July 2021). We applied no language restrictions. We handsearched reference lists of identified trials to identify further relevant trials, and searched the trial registries clinicaltrials.govand World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for ongoing trials. SELECTION CRITERIA We considered all RCTs comparing antecolic with retrocolic reconstruction of bowel continuity after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy for any given indication to be eligible. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened the identified references and extracted data from the included trials. The same two review authors independently assessed risk of bias of included trials, according to standard Cochrane methodology. We used a random-effects model to pool the results of the individual trials in a meta-analysis. We used odds ratios (OR) to compare binary outcomes and mean differences (MD) for continuous outcomes. MAIN RESULTS Of a total of 287 citations identified by the systematic literature search, we included eight randomised controlled trials (reported in 11 publications), with a total of 818 participants. There was high risk of bias in all of the trials in regard to blinding of participants and/or outcome assessors and unclear risk for selective reporting in six of the trials. There was little or no difference in the frequency of delayed gastric emptying (OR 0.67; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41 to 1.09; eight trials, 818 participants, low-certainty evidence) with relevant heterogeneity between trials (I2=40%). There was little or no difference in postoperative mortality (risk difference (RD) -0.00; 95% CI -0.02 to 0.01; eight trials, 818 participants, high-certainty evidence); postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR 1.01; 95% CI 0.73 to 1.40; eight trials, 818 participants, low-certainty evidence); postoperative haemorrhage (OR 0.87; 95% CI 0.47 to 1.59; six trials, 742 participants, low-certainty evidence); intra-abdominal abscess (OR 1.11; 95% CI 0.71 to 1.74; seven trials, 788 participants, low-certainty evidence); bile leakage (OR 0.82; 95% CI 0.35 to 1.91; seven trials, 606 participants, low-certainty evidence); reoperation rate (OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.34 to 1.36; five trials, 682 participants, low-certainty evidence); and length of hospital stay (MD -0.21; 95% CI -1.41 to 0.99; eight trials, 818 participants, low-certainty evidence). Only one trial reported quality of life, on a subgroup of 73 participants, also without a relevant difference between the two groups at any time point. The overall certainty of the evidence was low to moderate, due to some degree of heterogeneity, inconsistency and risk of bias in the included trials. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There was low- to moderate-certainty evidence suggesting that antecolic reconstruction after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy results in little to no difference in morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, or quality of life. Due to heterogeneity in definitions of the endpoints between trials, and differences in postoperative management, future research should be based on clearly defined endpoints and standardised perioperative management, to potentially elucidate differences between these two procedures. Novel strategies should be evaluated for prophylaxis and treatment of common complications, such as delayed gastric emptying.

Long-term outcomes of endoscopic papillectomy for early-stage cancer in duodenal ampullary adenoma: Comparison to surgical treatment. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 36:2315-2323. [PMID: 33604986 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2020] [Revised: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM While recent evidences support endoscopic resection as curative in ampullary tumors with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, only small case series have reported endoscopic management of early-stage ampullary cancer; thus, radical surgery remains the only accepted treatment modality. We evaluated the long-term outcomes of early ampullary adenocarcinoma administered endoscopic management. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of 715 patients undergoing endoscopic papillectomy (EP) in a single tertiary medical center in Korea in 2004-2016. We included patients incidentally diagnosed with early-stage adenocarcinoma (Tis and T1a, American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition) after EP and with >2 years of follow-up data and analyzed their demographics, histopathologic data, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Among 70 total patients in the EP-alone (n = 42) and subsequent surgery (n = 28) groups, we observed no significant differences in demographics or tumor size (2.0 ± 0.6 vs 1.9 ± 0.5 cm, P = 0.532), histologic grade (P = 0.077), tumor extent (P = 1.000), lymphovascular invasion (2.4% vs 10.7%, P = 0.344), or complete resection rates (57.1% vs 57.1%, P = 1.000) between groups. Adenocarcinoma lesions were larger in the subsequent surgery group (0.7 ± 0.5 vs 1.1 ± 0.7 cm, P = 0.002). The EP-alone group received more additional ablative treatment (42.9% vs 14.3%, P = 0.024). The 5-year disease-free and cancer-free survival rates were 79.1% vs 87.4% (P = 0.111) and 93.5% versus 87.4% (P = 0.726), respectively, and did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic papillectomy followed by endoscopic surveillance showed long-term outcomes comparable with surgical resection for early ampullary cancer and maybe curable alternative to surgery for incidentally found early-stage ampullary cancer, especially in patients unfit for or refusing radical surgery.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the outcomes of pancreaticogastrostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy with the help of a meta-analysis. Methods Randomized controlled trials comparing pancreaticogastrostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy were searched electronically using PubMed, The Cochrane Library, and EMBASE. Fixed and random-effects were used to measure pooled estimates. Research indicators included pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, postoperative hemorrhage, intraperitoneal fluid collection, wound infection, overall postoperative complications, reoperation, and mortality. Results Overall, 10 randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis, with a total of 1629 patients. The overall incidences of pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal collections were lower in the pancreaticogastrostomy group than in the pancreaticojejunostomy group (OR=0.73, 95% CI 0.55~0.96, p=0.02; OR=0.59, 95% CI 0.37~0.96, p=0.02, respectively). The incidence of B/C grade pancreatic fistula in the pancreaticogastrostomy group was lower than that in the pancreaticojejunostomy group, but no significant difference was observed (OR=0.61, 95%CI 0.34~1.09, p=0.09). Postoperative hemorrhage was more frequent in the pancreaticogastrostomy group than in the pancreaticojejunostomy group (OR=1.52; 95% CI 1.08~2.14, p=0.02). No significant differences in terms of delayed gastric emptying, wound infection, reoperation, overall postoperative complications, mortality, exocrine function, and hospital readmission were observed between groups. Conclusion This meta-analysis suggests that pancreaticogastrostomy reduces the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula and intraperitoneal fluid collection but increases the risk of postoperative hemorrhage compared with pancreaticojejunostomy.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims The comparative effectiveness of pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (PRPD) and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) in pancreatic head cancer is still disputed. The aim of this study was to analyze the data obtained from a large, single center with PPPD compared with PRPD in terms of postoperative outcomes, including blood glucose levels and survival in patients with pancreatic head cancer. Methods Between January 2007 and December 2016, a total of 556 patients with pancreatic head cancer underwent either PPPD or PRPD. We analyzed the clinicopathologic data to assess short- and long-term outcomes retrospectively. Results For underlying disease, patients with DM in PPPD were fewer than in PRPD (33.0% vs. 46.2%, p=0.002). The median value of CA19-9 was significantly higher in PRPD than in PPPD (129.36 vs. 86.47, p=0.037). The incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade III to V major complications in PPPD was significantly higher than in PRPD (20.4% vs. 13.4%, p=0.032). Resection of pylorus was shown to reduce complications in univariate and multivariate analyses (p=0.032 and = 0.021, respectively). The 5-year survival rates were 27.6% in the PPPD group and 22.4% in the PRPD group (p=0.015). Conclusions The results of PPPD and PRPD showed no significant differences from those reported conventionally in previous studies. Although further well-designed studies are needed, it is more important to select the range of surgical resection for the patient’s disease regardless of resection of pylorus.

Abstract
Background Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common and frustrating complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Studies suggest that surgical methods and other clinical characteristics may affect the occurrence of DGE. Nevertheless, the results of such studies are conflicting. The objective of this work was to perform a propensity score matching analysis to compare the differences between pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) and pylorus-removing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PrPD) and to develop and validate a nomogram to predict the probability of severe DGE (SDGE). Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent PD at our institution from December 2009 to December 2018. Propensity score matching was applied at a ratio of 1:1 to compare PPPD and PrPD groups. We compared incidence of complications, DGE, lengths of hospital stay, hospitalization costs, and mortality. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify potential risk factors of severe DGE. Finally, a nomogram was developed and validated to predict severe DGE. Results The PPPD group had a significantly higher rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (29.9% versus 17.4%, P < 0.05) and less blood loss (463.7 ml versus 694.9 ml, P < 0.05). After propensity score matching, the PPPD group had a significantly higher rate of postoperative DGE (19.2% versus 3.8%, P < 0.05), especially severe DGE (17.3% versus 0%) than the PrPD group. There were no significant differences in terms of lengths of hospital stay, hospitalization costs or mortality between the groups. Surgical method, biliary leakage, abdominal infection, and diabetes were independent risk factors for SDGE. The nomogram predicted SDGE with a training C - index of 0.798 and a validation C - index of 0.721. Conclusion PPPD increases the risk of DGE than PrPD, especially SDGE. Our prediction nomogram gives good prediction of SDGE after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We compared risk-adjusted short- and long-term outcomes between standard pancreaticoduodenectomy (SPD) and a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for the years 2004 to 2014 to identify patients with adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head undergoing SPD and PPD. Margin status, lymph node yield, length of stay (LOS), 30- and 90-day mortality, and overall survival were compared. RESULTS A total of 11,172 patients were identified, of whom 9332 (83.5%) underwent SPD and 1840 (16.5%) PPPD. There was no difference in patient age, sex, stage, tumor grade, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy treatment between the 2 groups. Total number of regional lymph nodes was examined, and surgical margin status and overall survival were also comparable. However, patients undergoing PPPD had a shorter LOS (11.3 vs 12.3 days, P < 0.001), lower 30-day mortality (2.5% vs 3.7%, P = 0.02), and 90-day mortality (5.5% vs 6.9%, P = 0.03). On multivariate analyses, patients undergoing SPD were at higher risk for 30-day mortality compared with PPPD (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-2.13). CONCLUSIONS Standard pancreaticoduodenectomy and PPPD are oncologically equivalent, yet PPPD is associated with a reduction in postoperative mortality and shorter LOS.

Abstract
The emergence of the Whipple procedure revolutionized operative management of pancreatic disease since its introduction (Fernandez-del Castillo et al., 2012 [1]). This operation classically involves removal of the head of the pancreas along with the duodenum, gallbladder, a portion of the bile duct, and part of the stomach (Warshaw and Thayer, 2004; Evans et al., 2007 [2,3]). We report a beneficial outcome of a modified Whipple on a paediatric trauma patient post- motor vehicle accident (MVA). After Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) was initiated and haemodynamic stability was achieved, exploratory laparotomy revealed pancreatic transection and duodenal rupture. Partial pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreaticoduodenostomy, cholecystojejunostomy, and pyloric-sparing gastrojejunostomy were performed. Post-operative acute pancreatitis resolved with antibiotics and supportive care. While paediatric abdominal trauma does not typically warrant a Whipple, patients with severe injury to the pancreas and neighboring organs with major vascular injury may offer no other intra-operative choice (Adams, 2014; Thatte and Vaze, 2014; Debi et al., 2013 [[4], [5], [6]]). Our patient's growth was followed post-operatively. At a 20-year post-operative follow-up, he reported no further hospitalizations or complications such as diabetes, biliary stricture, gallstones, or growth retardation. We review the literature to expose the novelty of using a Whipple to treat paediatric abdominal trauma, and the advantages of a pylorus-preserving Whipple. Indications for damage control surgery and non-operative management were contrasted with those for definitive surgery to reconstruct the biliary tree to further elucidate why the latter option was chosen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreas surgery has developed into a fairly safe procedure in terms of mortality, but is still hampered by considerable morbidity. Among the most frequent and dreaded complications are the development of a post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF). The prediction and prevention of POPF remains an area of debate with several questions yet to be firmly addressed with solid answers. METHODS A systematic review of systematic reviews/meta-analyses and randomized trials in the English literature (PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane library, EMBASE) covering January 2005 to December 2015 on risk factors and preventive strategies for POPF. RESULTS A total of 49 systematic reviews and meta-analyses over the past decade discussed patient, surgeon, pancreatic disease and intraoperative related factors of POPF. Non-modifiable factors (age, BMI, comorbidity) and pathology (histotype, gland texture, duct size) that indicates surgery are associated with POPF risk. Consideration of anastomotic technique and use of somatostatin-analogs may slightly modify the risk of fistula. Sealant products appear to have no effect. Perioperative bleeding and transfusion enhance risk, but is modifiable by focus on technique and training. Drains may not prevent fistulae, but may help in early detection. Early drain-amylase may aid in detection. Predictive scores lack uniform validation, but may have a role in patient information if reliable pre-operative risk factors can be obtained. CONCLUSIONS Development of POPF occurs through several demonstrated risk factors. Anastomotic technique and use of somatostatin-analogs may slightly decrease risk. Drains may aid in early detection of leaks, but do not prevent POPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer remains one of the five leading causes of cancer deaths in industrialized nations. For adenocarcinomas in the head of the gland and premalignant lesions, partial pancreaticoduodenectomy represents the standard treatment for resectable tumours. The gastro- or duodenojejunostomy after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy can be reestablished via either an antecolic or a retrocolic route. The debate about the more favourable technique for bowel reconstruction is ongoing. OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness and safety of antecolic and retrocolic gastro- or duodenojejunostomy after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy. SEARCH METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search on 29 September 2015 to identify all randomised controlled trials in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), The Cochrane Library 2015, issue 9, MEDLINE (1946 to September 2015), and EMBASE (1974 to September 2015). We applied no language restrictions. We handsearched reference lists of identified trials to identify further relevant trials, and searched the trial registry clinicaltrials.gov for ongoing trials. SELECTION CRITERIA We considered all randomised controlled trials that compared antecolic versus retrocolic reconstruction of bowel continuity after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy for any given indication to be eligible. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened the identified references and extracted data from the included trials. The same two review authors independently assessed risk of bias of included trials, according to standard Cochrane methodology. We used a random-effects model to pool the results of the individual trials in a meta-analysis. We used odds ratios to compare binary outcomes and mean differences for continuous outcomes. MAIN RESULTS Of a total of 216 citations identified by the systematic literature search, we included six randomised controlled trials (reported in nine publications), with a total of 576 participants. We identified a moderate heterogeneity of methodological quality and risk of bias of the included trials. None of the pooled results for our main outcomes of interest showed significant differences: delayed gastric emptying (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.31 to 1.18; P = 0.14), mortality (RD -0.01; 95% CI -0.03 to 0.02; P = 0.72), postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.65 to 1.47; P = 0.92), postoperative haemorrhage (OR 0.79; 95% CI 0.38 to 1.65; P = 0.53), intra-abdominal abscess (OR 0.93; 95% CI 0.52 to 1.67; P = 0.82), bile leakage (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.36 to 2.15; P = 0.79), reoperation rate (OR 0.59; 95% CI 0.27 to 1.31; P = 0.20), and length of hospital stay (MD -0.67; 95%CI -2.85 to 1.51; P = 0.55). Furthermore, the perioperative outcomes duration of operation, intraoperative blood loss and time to NGT removal showed no relevant differences. Only one trial reported quality of life, on a subgroup of participants, also without a significant difference between the two groups at any time point. The overall quality of the evidence was only low to moderate, due to heterogeneity, some inconsistency and risk of bias in the included trials. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There was low to moderate quality evidence suggesting no significant differences in morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, or quality of life between antecolic and retrocolic reconstruction routes for gastro- or duodenojejunostomy. Due to heterogeneity in definitions of the endpoints between trials, and differences in postoperative management, future research should be based on clearly defined endpoints and standardised perioperative management, to potentially elucidate differences between these two procedures. Novel strategies should be evaluated for prophylaxis and treatment of common complications, such as delayed gastric emptying.

Abstract
Background Carcinoma and adenoma of the duodenum, including the papilla of Vater, are problematic diseases in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Case presentation A 36-year-old man underwent a periodic medical examination for early colon cancer originating from FAP for which laparoscopic-assisted subtotal colectomy with a J-shaped ileal pouch-rectal anastomosis was performed 3 years earlier. A tumor was detected at the papilla of Vater along with elevation of total bilirubin and hepatobiliary enzymes. Although cytology did not determine the tumor to be an adenocarcinoma, we suspected adenocarcinoma due to its hypervascularity shown by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy with modified Imanaga reconstruction and regional lymph node dissection (D2) was performed. The pathological study showed that the tumor was a papillary and moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. The patient is currently in good health without recurrence, weight loss, or severe diarrhea at 12 months after surgery. Conclusions Awareness of biliary-pancreatic symptoms and periodic gastroduodenoscopy might contribute both to the early detection of duodenal or periampullary polyps and cancer and to the radical treatment of FAP. Modified Imanaga reconstruction has the potential to become one of the more effective procedures for providing good quality of life to FAP patients with duodenal or periampullary cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the most troublesome complications after classical pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or pylorus-preserving PD. Whether the route of gastroenteric reconstruction has any influence on DGE remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different types of gastroenteric anastomosis on DGE after PD/PPPD. METHODS A systematic search of literature databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science) was performed to identify eligible studies. Cochrane collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias was utilized to evaluate the quality of included studies. The primary outcome was DGE incidence rate. Further outcomes included mortality, morbidity, and other operation related events. Random-effect or fix-effect models were used as appropriate. RESULTS Five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including a total of 530 patients were identified and included in the analysis. Based on these studies, no difference was found in DGE incidence between antecolic and retrocolic groups (relative risk [RR], 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.51-1.32; P = 0.41). Mortality, morbidity, and operation related events were not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSIONS Results of the meta-analysis reveal that DGE occurrence is not affected by route of gastroenteric anastomosis. Anastomosis approach should be chosen according to the surgeons' preference.

Abstract
Surgical resection for pancreatic and periampullary cancer has evolved over several decades. The postoperative mortality for these resections has declined to less than 5 %. However, morbidity associated with these resections is still considerable. Various technical modifications like pylorus preservation, reconstruction techniques and methods to perform pancreaticoenteric anastomosis have been suggested to improve postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgical modifications to improve oncological clearance and decrease fistula rates after distal pancreatic resections have also been suggested. Dilemma still exists whether interventions like pancreatic duct stents, octreotide and drains help to improve postoperative outcomes. The role of extended lymph node dissection and extended resections for pancreatic and periampullary cancer is still controversial, as is the management of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. In this review, we discuss the literature pertaining to various surgical aspects of pancreatic and periampullary carcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSES Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was performed for 6 periampullary cancer patients by using methods verified by quality randomized controlled trials (RCT) in a low-volume center (LVC). The purpose of this study was to verify the clinical results. METHODS No-touch pylorus-resecting pancreatoduodenectomy (PrPD), antecolic gastrojejunostomy, pancreatico-jejunostomy with a lost stent tube to the main pancreatic duct, and early removal of a prophylactic drain were performed. RESULTS The drain could be removed 4 days after operation, and no pancreatic fistula was observed in all cases. Solid food could be started on POD4 after removing the drain. Furthermore, postoperative systemic chemotherapy could be started earlier. CONCLUSION Although we have only a few PD cases a year in our institution, PD can be conducted safely without complications by using the methods verified by quality RCTs.

Delayed Gastric Emptying After Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Is Subtotal Stomach Preserving Better or Pylorus Preserving? J Gastrointest Surg 2015; 19:1542-52.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the main complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Literature review and meta-analysis were used to evaluate whether subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (SSPPD) may have less incidence than pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). METHODS Online search for studies comparing PPPD to SSPPD was done. Primary outcome was DGE. Quality of included studies was evaluated and heterogeneity was assessed. Relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated from pooled data in RCTs and retrospective studies. RESULTS Eight studies met our selection criteria, with a total of 663 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy; 309 underwent PPPD and 354 underwent SSPPD. Median age was 66 years. Average male/female ratio was 57 vs. 43%, respectively. There was lower incidence of DGE with SSPPD (RR 0.527; 95% CI 0.363-0.763; p < 0.001) and less nasogastric tube days with SSPPD (RR -0.544; 95% CI -876 to -0.008; p = 0.047). Operative blood loss was more in SSPPD (RR 0.285; 95% CI 0.071-0.499; p = 0.009). There was no statistical difference between the two groups regarding length of hospital stay, incidence of pancreatic fistula, abscesses, overall morbidity, or postoperative mortality. CONCLUSION SSPPD was associated with less DGE than PPPD. Larger prospective randomized studies are needed to investigate the association of this result with other complications in more depth.

Abstract
AIMS AND BACKGROUND The aim of this report was to describe the way in which a rare and niche disease like ampulla of Vater carcinoma (AVC) was treated in real-world clinical practice. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with a diagnosis of AVC treated at our medical oncology unit between August 2004 and August 2013 was performed. RESULTS We evaluated 8 consecutive patients with a median age of 60 years (range 56-84). At the last follow-up, 4 patients were alive without evidence of disease and 4 patients had died. The median follow-up time was 21.51 months (range 1-100.43), the median overall survival 23.19 months (range 7.07-102.2), and the median disease-free survival 18.26 months (range 0-102.2). Six patients underwent surgery, which consisted of pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, R0 in all cases. Tumor histology was adenocarcinoma in all patients. Two patients presented with locally advanced disease. Only 1 patient presented with metastases while 3 patients subsequently developed metastases. Two patients received chemotherapy for metastatic disease; in both cases disease progression was observed at the first disease evaluation. CONCLUSIONS We can consider AVC as a pathology niche and pancreaticoduodenectomy as the effective treatment for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frequent cause of morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and readmission after a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We sought to evaluate predictive peri-operative factors for DGE after a PD. METHODS Four hundred and sixteen consecutive patients who underwent a PD at our tertiary referral centre were identified. Univariate and multivariate (MV) logistic regression models were used to assess peri-operative factors associated with the development of clinically significant DGE and a post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF). RESULTS DGE occurred in 24% of patients (n = 98) with Grades B and C occurring at 13.5% (n = 55) and 10.5% (n = 43), respectively. Using MV regression, a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 [odds ratio (OR) = 3.19], operating room (OR) length >5.5 h (OR = 2.72) and prophylactic octreotide use (OR = 2.04) were independently associated with an increased risk of DGE. DGE patients had a significantly longer median hospital stay (12 versus 7 days), higher 90-day readmission rates (32% versus 18%) and an increased incidence of a pancreatic fistula (59% versus 27%). When controlling for POPF, only OR length >5.5 h (OR 2.73) remained significantly associated with DGE. CONCLUSIONS DGE remains a significant cause of morbidity, increased hospital stay and readmission after PD. Our findings suggest patients with a BMI ≥35 or longer OR times have a higher risk of DGE either independently or through the development of POPF. These patients should be considered for possible enteral feeding tube placement along with limited octreotide use to decrease the potential risk and consequences of DGE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The best reconstruction method for the pancreatic remnant after pancreaticoduodenectomy remains debatable. We aimed to investigate the perioperative outcomes of 2 popular reconstruction methods: pancreaticogastrostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy. DATA SOURCES Randomized controlled trials comparing pancreaticogastrostomy versus pancreaticojejunostomy were identified from literature databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library). The meta-analysis included 8 studies: 607 patients who underwent pancreaticogastrostomy and 604 who underwent pancreaticojejunostomy. Postoperative pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal fluid collection rates were significantly lower after pancreaticogastrostomy compared with pancreaticojejunostomy. No statistically significant differences were found in the incidence of delayed gastric emptying, biliary fistula, hemorrhage, reoperation, wound infection, overall morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis suggests that pancreaticogastrostomy not only reduces the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula but also decreases its severity. Pancreaticogastrostomy is associated with a lower rate of intra-abdominal fluid collection. Our results suggest that pancreaticogastrostomy should be the preferred reconstruction method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying is a serious complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. The effect of pylorus removal on delayed gastric emptying has not been well evaluated. STUDY DESIGN We searched five databases (PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus and Web of Science) up to July 2014. The meta-regression analysis was performed to evaluate any factors accountable for the heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed by Egger's test, and corrected by Duval's trim and fill method. Subgroup analyses were conducted for different surgical techniques of pyloric removal. Other intraoperative and postoperative parameters were compared between two groups. RESULTS We included 27 studies involving 2,599 patients, with a moderate-high heterogeneity for primary outcome (I(2) = 63%). Meta-regression analysis showed that four variables primarily contributed to the heterogeneity, namely nasogastric tube intubation time, solid food start time, preoperative diabetes percentage and the number of patients in pylorus-preserving group. After excluding four studies, the remaining twenty-three studies showed reduced heterogeneity (I(2) = 51%). Then we used Duval's trim and fill method to correct publication bias. The corrected MH odds ratio was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.52-1.17). A subgroup analysis showed that pylorus removal tends to reduce delayed gastric emptying incidence for subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy or pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy, compared with pylorus-preserving group. However, standard Whipple procedure failed to show any significant reduction of DGE compared with pylorus-removal group. No significant differences were observed in terms of length of hospital stay, infection and pancreatic fistula; however, pylorus removal resulted in longer operation time, more blood loss and higher mortality. CONCLUSION The pylorus removal does not significantly reduce the overall incidence of delayed gastric emptying. Subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy or pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy tends to reduce delayed gastric emptying incidence, but needs further validation.
