Abstract
PURPOSE Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) is a standard procedure for patients with pancreatic body and tail cancer. There are two types of RAMPS: anterior and posterior, but their indications and surgical outcomes remain unclear. We compared the surgical outcomes, postoperative course, and prognosis between anterior and posterior RAMPS. METHODS Between 2007 and 2020, 105 consecutive patients who underwent RAMPS for pancreatic body and tail cancers were divided into an anterior RAMPS group (n = 30) and a posterior RAMPS group (n = 75). To adjust for differences in preoperative characteristics and intraoperative procedures, an inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis was done, using propensity scores. RESULTS After IPTW adjustment, the postoperative body temperature of the posterior RAMPS group and the amount of drain discharge in the anterior RAMPS group were significantly lower, from postoperative days (PODs) 1 to 3, but there were no differences in postoperative complications, recurrence patterns, or prognosis between the two groups. Regarding the diagnostic ability of multidetector-row computed tomography (MD-CT) for direct tumor involvement of the left adrenal gland, the sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 90.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION Pancreatic body and tail cancer without apparent preoperative direct tumor involvement of the left adrenal gland on MD-CT may be sufficient indication for anterior RAMPS.

Is Preoperative Adrenal Insufficiency Screening Necessary for Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery Patients? MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59010152. [PMID: 36676776 PMCID: PMC9864834 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59010152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Background: The association between adrenal insufficiency (AI) and the treatment outcomes of cardiothoracic surgery patients has been little reported. The aims of this study were to investigate the incidence of AI and to compare the post-surgical outcomes of patients with perioperatively treated AI and patients with a normal adrenal response. Methods: A 1.5-year prospective study was conducted in 98 patients scheduled for cardiothoracic surgery. Patients were categorized as either AI or normal-adrenal-response patients. Those with AI were treated with stress doses of glucocorticoid perioperatively. The post-surgical outcomes of patients with AI and of those with a normal adrenaline response were analyzed using multivariable analysis. Results: The overall incidence of AI was 34.7%. There were no statistically significant differences in post-surgical outcomes, including prolonged hospital stay, postoperative infection, prolonged inotropic drug use and relative AI, between the two groups. Only the rate of hyperglycemia requiring insulin infusion was significantly higher in the AI group than in the non-AI group (OR = 14.15, 95% CI = 1.44-138.60, p = 0.02). Conclusions: The proper diagnosis and management of AI can result in surgical outcomes in AI patients comparable to those of normal-adrenal-response patients. Non-life-threatening hyperglycemia requiring insulin infusion was found only in the AI group.
