Abstract
We have demonstrated the utility of SYNAPSE VINCENT® (version 6.6; Fujifilm Medical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), a 3D image analysis system, in semi-automated simulations of the peripancreatic vessels, pancreatic ducts, pancreatic parenchyma, and peripancreatic organs using an artificial intelligence (AI) engine developed with deep learning algorithms. Furthermore, we investigated the usefulness of this AI engine for patients with pancreatic cancer. Here, we present a case of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with an extended surgical procedure performed using surgical simulation and navigation via an AI engine. An 80-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed main pancreatic duct dilatation with a maximum diameter of 40 mm. Furthermore, there was a 17 mm cystic lesion between the pancreatic head and the pancreatic body and a 14 mm mural nodule in the pancreatic tail. Thus, the lesion was preoperatively diagnosed as an intraductal papillary carcinoma (IPMC) of the pancreatic tail and classified as T1N0M0 stage IA according to the 8th edition of the Union for International Cancer Control guidelines. The present patient had laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and regional lymphadenectomy. In particular, since it was necessary to include the cystic lesion in the pancreatic neck, pancreatic resection was performed at the right edge of the portal vein, which is closer to the head of the pancreas than usual. We routinely employed three-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) surgical simulation and navigation, which allowed us to recognize the surgical anatomy, including the location of pancreatic resection. In addition to displaying the detailed 3DCG of the surgical anatomy, this technology allowed surgical staff to share the situation, and it has been reported that this approach improves the safety of surgery. Furthermore, the remnant pancreatic volume (47.6%), pancreatic resection surface area (161 mm2), and thickness of the pancreatic parenchyma (12 mm) at the resection location were investigated using 3DCG imaging. Intraoperative frozen biopsy confirmed that the resection margin was negative. Histologically, an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with low-grade dysplasia was observed in the pancreatic tail. No malignant findings, including those related to the resection margin, were observed in the specimen. At the 12-month postoperative follow-up examination, the patient's condition was unremarkable. We conclude that the SYNAPSE VINCENT® AI engine is a useful surgical support for the extraction of the surrounding vessels, surrounding organs, and pancreatic parenchyma including the location of the pancreatic resection even in the case of extended surgical procedures.

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
De novo non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) after pancreatectomy is a recognized phenomenon; however, its pathophysiology is poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the incidence and identify peri-operative risk factors for the development of de novo NAFLD within various pancreatectomy groups. This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent pancreatectomy between 2000 and 2020. The incidence rate of de novo NAFLD and time to diagnosis were recorded across patients with malignant versus benign indications for pancreatectomy. The overall incidence of de novo NAFLD after pancreatectomy was 17.5% (24/136). Twenty-one percent (20/94) of patients with malignant indications for surgery developed NAFLD compared to 9.5% (4/42) with benign indications (P = .09). Time to development of hepatic steatosis in the malignant group was 26.4 months and was significantly shorter by an average of 6 months when compared to the benign group (32.8 months, P = .03). Higher pre-operative body mass index was associated with new-onset NAFLD (P = .03). Pre-operative body mass index is a significant predictor for de novo NAFLD and highlights a group that should be closely monitored post-operatively, especially after resections for pancreatic malignancy.

[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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor oral intake (POI) without an identifiable cause is frequently observed after distal pancreatectomy (DP). This study was designed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of POI after DP, and its impact on the length of hospital stay. METHODS The prospectively collected data of patients who received DP were retrospectively reviewed. A diet protocol after DP was followed, and POI after DP was defined as the oral intake being less than 50% of the daily requirement and parenteral calorie supply being required on postoperative day 7. RESULTS Of the 157 patients, 21.7% (34) experienced POI after DP. The multivariate analysis revealed that the remnant pancreatic margin (head; hazard ratio, 7.837; 95% confidence interval, 2.111-29.087; P = 0.002) and postoperative hyperglycemia >200 mg/dL (hazard ratio, 5.643; 95% confidence interval, 1.482-21.494; P = 0.011) were independent risk factors for POI after DP. The length of hospital stay (median [range]) of the POI group was significantly longer than that of the normal diet group (17 [9-44] vs 10 [5-44] days; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing pancreatic resection at pancreatic head portion should follow a postoperative diet, and postoperative glucose levels should be strictly regulated.

Abstract
Three-dimensional surgical simulation, already in use for hepatic surgery, can be used in pancreatic surgery. However, some problems still need to be overcome to achieve more precise pancreatic surgical simulation. The present study evaluates the performance of SYNAPSE VINCENT® (version 6.6, Fujifilm Medical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) in the semiautomated surgical simulation of the pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic ducts, and peripancreatic vessels using an artificial intelligence (AI) engine designed with deep learning algorithms. One-hundred pancreatic cancer patients and a control group of 100 nonpancreatic cancer patients were enrolled. The evaluation methods for visualizing the extraction were compared using the Dice coefficient (DC). In the pancreatic cancer patients, tumor size, position, and stagewise correlations with the pancreatic parenchymal DC were analyzed. The relationship between the pancreatic duct diameter and the DC, and between the manually and AI-measured diameters of the pancreatic duct were analyzed. In the pancreatic cancer/control groups, the pancreatic parenchymal DC and pancreatic duct extraction were 0.83/0.86 and 0.84/0.77. The DC of the arteries (portal veins/veins) and associated sensitivity and specificity were 0.89/0.88 (0.89/0.88), 0.85/0.83 (0.85/0.82), and 0.82/0.81 (0.84/0.81), respectively. No correlations were observed between pancreatic parenchymal DC and tumor size, position, or stage. No correlation was observed between the pancreatic duct diameter and the DC. A positive correlation (r = 0.61, p<0.001) was observed between the manually and AI-measured diameters of the pancreatic duct. Extraction of the pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic duct, and surrounding vessels with the SYNAPSE VINCENT® AI engine assumed to be useful as surgical simulation.

Abstract
Changes in the exocrine function of the pancreas often develops after proximal and distal resections. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is characterized by a reduced secretion of pancreatic enzymes, because of which the digestion and absorption of nutrients is impaired. Clinical manifestations of EPI and, as a consequence, changes in nutritional status significantly affect the quality of life of patients.
