Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgeons rarely perform elective total pancreatectomy (TP). Our study seeks to report surgical outcomes in a contemporary series of single-stage (SS) TP patients. METHODS Between the years 2013 to 2023 we conducted a retrospective review of 60 consecutive patients who underwent SSTP. Demographics, pathology, treatment-related variables, and survival were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS SSTP consisted of 3% (60/1859) of elective pancreas resections conducted. Patient median age was 68 years. Ninety percent of these patients (n = 54) underwent SSTP for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Conversion from a planned partial pancreatectomy to TP occurred intraoperatively in 31 (52%) patients. Fifty-nine patients (98%) underwent an R0 resection. Median length of hospital stay was 6 days. The majority of morbidities were minor, with 27% patients (n = 16) developing severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥3). Thirty and ninety-day mortality rates were 1.67% (one patient) and 5% (three patients), respectively. Median survival for the entire cohort was 24.4 months; 22.7 months for PDAC patients, with 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival of 68%, 43%, and 16%, respectively. No mortality occurred in non-PDAC patients (n = 6). CONCLUSION Elective single-stage total pancreatectomy can be a safe and appropriate treatment option. SSTP should be in the armamentarium of surgeons performing pancreatic resection.

Comparison of clinical outcomes and prognosis between total pancreatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis. ANZ J Surg 2023; 93:2820-2827. [PMID: 37614050 DOI: 10.1111/ans.18653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the clinical outcomes and prognosis of total pancreatectomy (TP) and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and to explore the safety and indications of TP. METHODS A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases from January 1943 to March 2023 for literatures comparing TP and PD in the treatment of PDAC. The primary outcome was postoperative overall survival (OS), and secondary outcomes included surgery time, blood loss, readmission, hospital stay, perioperative mortality, and overall morbidity. Fixed-effect or random-effect models were selected based on heterogeneity, and odds ratio (OR), mean difference (MD), or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. RESULTS A total of six studies involving 8396 patients were included in the meta-analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in OS after surgery between the two groups (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.91-1.27; P = 0.38). The TP group had a longer surgery time (MD = 13.66, 95% CI: 4.57-22.75; P = 0.003) and more blood loss (MD = 133.17, 95% CI: 8.00-258.33; P = 0.04) than the PD group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of hospital stay (MD = 0.09, 95% CI: -2.04 to 2.22; P = 0.93), readmission rate (OR = 1.39; 95% CI: 1.00-1.92; P = 0.05), perioperative mortality (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 0.98-1.69; P = 0.07), and overall morbidity (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.50-1.26; P = 0.33). CONCLUSION The surgical process of TP is relatively complex, but there is no difference in short-term clinical outcomes and OS compared to PD, making it a safe and reliable procedure. Indications and treatment outcomes for planned TP and salvage TP may differ, and more research is needed in the future for further classification and verification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and total pancreatectomy (TP) are two surgical methods to treat patients with pancreatic head adenocarcinoma (PHAC). However, the oncologic outcomes of TP for PHAC remain controversial. In this study, we compared early mortality and long-term survival patients undergoing TP and those with PD. METHODS All patients diagnosed with non-metastatic PHAC who underwent PD or TP from 1988 to 2016 were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the inter-group covariates. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) was the primary endpoint. RESULTS A total of 4748 patients (743 TP and 4005 PD) were included in the study. Some 740 patients who underwent TP were matched with 1479 who had PD. After PSM, there was no difference between TP and PD groups regarding 30-day mortality (3.5% vs. 2.7%, p = 0.290) and 90-day mortality (9.9% vs. 8%, p = 0.135). More importantly, TP showed comparable survival in comparison to PD, prior or after excluding patients who died within 30 and 90 days. Besides, multivariate analysis revealed that tumor size, tumor stage, N stage, chemotherapy, and radiation were significant prognostic factors. CONCLUSION PD and TP have similar early mortality and long-term survival for patients with PHAC. In selected patients, TP can be used when oncologically appropriate.

Ann Surg Oncol 2022; 29:6004-6012.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data regarding the survival impact of converting frozen-section (FS):R1 pancreatic neck margins to permanent section (PS):R0 by additional resection (i.e., converted-R0) during upfront pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are conflicting. The impact of neoadjuvant therapy on this practice and its relationship with overall survival (OS) is incompletely understood. METHODS We reviewed PDAC patients (80% borderline resectable/locally advanced [BR/LA]) undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy after neoadjuvant therapy at seven, academic, high-volume centers (2010-2018). Multivariable models examined the association of PS:R0, PS:R1, and converted-R0 margins with OS. RESULTS Of 272 patients receiving at least 2 (median 4) cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (71% mFOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel) and undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy with intraoperative frozen-section assessment of the transected pancreatic neck margin, PS:R0 (n = 220, 80.9%) was observed in a majority of patients; 18 patients (6.6%) had converted-R0 margins following additional resection, whereas 34 patients (12.5%) had persistently positive PS:R1 margins. At a median follow-up of 42 months, PS:R0 resection was associated with improved OS compared with either converted-R0 or PS:R1 resection (median 25 vs. 14 vs. 16 months, respectively; p = 0.023), with no survival difference between the converted-R0 and PS:R1 groups (p = 0.9). On Cox regression, SMA margin positivity (hazard ratio 2.2, p = 0.012), but not neck margin positivity (hazard ratio 1.2, p = 0.65), was associated with worse OS. CONCLUSIONS In this multi-institutional cohort of predominantly BR/LA PDAC patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy following modern neoadjuvant therapy, pursuing a negative neck margin intraoperatively if the initial margin is positive does not appear to be associated with improved survival.

Total pancreatectomy as an alternative to high-risk pancreatojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy: a propensity score analysis on surgical outcome and quality of life. HPB (Oxford) 2022; 24:1261-1270.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy (TP) is mentioned as alternative to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with high-risk pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) to avoid severe pancreatic fistula-related complications, but its benefit is controversial and comparative studies are scarce. METHODS Cross-sectional single-center study among patients after PD with high-risk PJ versus patients after single-stage elective TP for any indication (2015-2017), using propensity scores to evaluate surgical outcomes and long-term quality of life (QoL) in three risk strata. EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D-5L were used for QoL assessment. RESULTS Overall, 77 patients after TP (68.8%) and 102 patients after high-risk PD (34.5%) were included. Major morbidity (29.9% vs. 41.2%; p = 0.119) and 90-day mortality (5.2% vs. 8.8%; p = 0.354) did not differ significantly between TP and high-risk PD. Interventions for intra-abdominal fluid collections (9.1% vs. 23.5%, p = 0.011) and postpancreatectomy haemorrhage (6.5% vs. 18.6%; p = 0.018) were more often required after high-risk PD, but these differences did not remain after stratification. QoL was comparable after TP and high-risk PD (75% vs. 83%; p = 0.720), even after stratification. CONCLUSIONS TP seems not to be inferior to high-risk PD regarding surgical outcomes and QoL. TP could be considered as an alternative to a very high-risk PD, but reluctance persists since TP does not appear to reduce mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic tumors are frequently diagnosed in a locally advanced stage with poor prognosis if untreated. This study assesses the safety and oncological outcomes of pancreatic surgery with arterial en-bloc resection. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent a pancreatic resection with arterial resection between 2011 and 2020. Univariable analyses were used to assess prognostic factors for survival. RESULTS Forty consecutive patients (22 female; 18 male) undergoing arterial resections were included. Surgical procedures consisted of 19 pancreatoduodenectomies (PD, 48%), 16 distal splenopancreatectomy (DSP, 40%), and 5 total pancreatectomies (TP, 12%). Arterial resection included hepatic arteries (HA, N = 23), coeliac trunk (TC, N = 15) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA, N = 2). Neoadjuvant therapy was applied in 22 patients (58%). Major complications after surgery were observed in 15% of cases. 90-day mortality was 5%. Median disease-free survival and median overall survival were for the R0/CRM- group 22.8 months and 27.9 months, 9.5 and 19.8 months for the R0/CRM+ group, and 10.1 and 13.1 months for the R1 group, respectively. CONCLUSION In highly selected patients, arterial en-bloc resection can be performed with acceptable mortality and morbidity rates and beneficial oncological outcome.

Abstract
Importance Comparability of morbidity and mortality rates after total pancreatectomy (TP) reported by different surgical centers is limited. Procedure-specific differences, such as the extent of resection, including additional vascular or multivisceral resections, are rarely acknowledged when postoperative outcomes are reported. Objectives To evaluate postoperative outcomes after TP and categorize different types of TP based on the extent, complexity, and technical aspects of each procedure. Design, Setting, and Participants This single-center study included a retrospective cohort of 1451 patients who had undergone TP between October 1, 2001, and December 31, 2020. Each patient was assigned to 1 of the following 4 categories that reflect increasing levels of procedure-related difficulty: standard TP (type 1), TP with venous resection (type 2), TP with multivisceral resection (type 3), and TP with arterial resection (type 4). Postoperative outcomes among the groups were compared. Main Outcomes and Measures Categorization of different types of TP based on the procedure-related difficulty and differing postoperative outcomes. Results Of the 1451 patients who had undergone TP and were included in the analysis, 840 were men (57.9%); median age was 64.9 (IQR, 56.7-71.7) years. A total of 676 patients (46.6%) were assigned to type 1, 296 patients (20.4%) to type 2, 314 patients (21.6%) to type 3, and 165 patients (11.4%) to type 4 TP. A gradual increase in surgical morbidity was noted by TP type (type 1: 255 [37.7%], type 2: 137 [46.3%], type 3: 178 [56.7%], and type 4: 98 [59.4%]; P < .001), as was noted for median length of hospital stay (type 1: 14 [IQR, 10-19] days, type 2: 16 [IQR, 12-23] days, type 3: 17 [IQR, 13-29] days, and type 4: 18 [IQR, 13-30] days; P < .001), and 90-day mortality (type 1: 23 [3.4%], type 2: 17 [5.7%], type 3: 29 [9.2%], and type 4: 20 [12.1%]; P < .001). In the multivariable analysis, type 3 (TP with multivisceral resection) and type 4 (TP with arterial resection) were independently associated with an increased 90-day mortality rate. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this study suggest there are significant differences in postoperative outcomes when the extent, complexity, and technical aspects of the procedure are considered. Classifying TP into 4 different categories may allow for better postoperative risk stratification as well as more accurate comparisons in future studies.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the solid tumors with the worst prognosis. Five-year survival rate is less than 10%. Surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment, but the tumor is often diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease and surgery could be performed in a very limited number of patients. Moreover, surgery is still associated with high post-operative morbidity, while other therapies still offer very disappointing results. This article reviews every aspect of pancreatic cancer, focusing on the elements that can improve prognosis. It was written with the aim of describing everything you need to know in 2021 in order to face this difficult challenge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that complete, tumor-free resection at the pancreatic neck, achieved either en-bloc or non-en-bloc (ie, revision based on intraoperative frozen section [FS] analysis), is associated with improved survival as compared with incomplete resection (IR) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Given the likely systemic nature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the oncologic benefit of achieving a histologically complete local resection, particularly through revision of a positive intraoperative FS at the pancreatic neck, remains controversial. METHODS Clinicopathologic and treatment data were reviewed for 986 consecutive patients with ductal adenocarcinoma at the head, neck, or uncinate process of the pancreas who underwent open pancreatectomy as well as intraoperative FS analysis between 1998 and 2012 at Massachusetts General Hospital and between 1998 and 2013 at the University of Verona. Overall survival (OS) and perioperative morbidity and mortality were compared across 3 groups: complete resection achieved en-bloc (CR-EB), complete resection achieved non-en-bloc (CR-NEB), and IR. RESULTS The CR-EB cohort comprised 749 (76%) patients, CR-NEB 159 patients (16%), and IR 78 patients (8%). Other than a higher incidence of vascular resection among CR-NEB and IR patients, no demographic, pathologic (eg, tumor grade, lymph node positivity, superior mesenteric artery involvement), or treatment factors (eg, neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy use) differed between the groups. Median OS was significantly higher in patients with CR-EB (28 mo, P = 0.01) and CR-NEB resections (24 mo, P = 0.02) as compared with patients with IR resections (19 mo). After adjusting for clinicopathologic and treatment characteristics, CR-EB and CR-NEB margin status were found to be independent predictors of improved OS (relative to IR, CR-EB hazard ratio [HR] 0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-0.86; CR-NEB HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.50-0.96). There were no intergroup differences in perioperative morbidity and mortality, including rates of pancreatic fistula. CONCLUSIONS For patients with ductal adenocarcinoma at the head, neck, or uncinate process of the pancreas undergoing pancreatectomy, complete tumor extirpation via either en-bloc or non-en-bloc complete resection based on FS analysis is associated with improved OS, without an associated increased perioperative morbidity or mortality.

Abstract
The extension of a partial pancreatectomy up to total pancreatectomy because of positive neck margin examined at intraoperative frozen section (IFS) analysis is an accepted procedure in modern pancreatic surgery with good accuracy. The goal of this practice is to improve the rate of radical (R0) resection in malignant tumors, mainly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and to completely resect pre-invasive neoplasms such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). In the setting of IPMNs there is a consensus for pancreatic re-resection when high-grade dysplasia and invasive cancer are present at the neck margin. The presence of denudation is another indication for further resection in IPMNs. The role of IFS analysis in the management of pancreatic cancer is more debated. The presence of a positive intraoperative transection margin can be considered the surrogate of a biologically aggressive disease associated with a poorer prognosis. There are conflicting data regarding possible advantages of pancreatic re-resection up to total pancreatectomy, and the lack of randomized trials comparing different strategies does not offer a definitive answer. The goal of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of the role IFS analysis of pancreatic margin and of pancreatic re-resection up to total pancreatectomy considering different pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
The distinct biology of pancreatic cancer with aggressive and early invasive tumor cells, a tumor promoting microenvironment, late diagnosis, and high therapy resistance poses major challenges on clinicians, researchers, and patients. In current clinical practice, a curative approach for pancreatic cancer can only be offered to a minority of patients and even for those patients, the long-term outcome is grim. This bitter combination will eventually let pancreatic cancer rise to the second leading cause of cancer-related mortalities. With surgery being the only curative option, complete tumor resection still remains the center of pancreatic cancer treatment. In recent years, new developments in neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment have emerged. Together with improved perioperative care including complication management, an increasing number of patients have become eligible for tumor resection. Basic research aims to further increase these numbers by new methods of early detection, better tumor modelling and personalized treatment options. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on clinical and biologic features, surgical and non-surgical treatment options, and the improved collaboration of clinicians and basic researchers in pancreatic cancer that will hopefully result in more successful ways of curing pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Importance Although margin-negative (R0) resection is the gold standard for surgical management of localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the question of how to manage the patient with a microscopically positive intraoperative neck margin (IONM) during pancreaticoduodenectomy remains controversial. Observations In the absence of randomized clinical trials, we critically evaluated high-quality retrospective studies examining the oncologic utility of re-resecting positive IONMs during pancreaticoduodenectomy for PDAC (2000-2019). Several studies have concluded that additional pancreatic resection to achieve an R0 margin in IONM-positive cases does not influence survival. The largest is a multi-institutional study of 1399 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy, which demonstrated that in comparison with patients undergoing R0 resection (n = 1196; median survival, 21 months), those with either final R1 resections (n = 131) or undergoing margin conversion from IONM-positive to R0 resection on permanent section (n = 72) demonstrated similar median survival times (13.7 and 11.9 months, respectively). Conversely, recent reports suggest that the conversion of IONM to R0 resection with additional resection or even total pancreatectomy may be associated with improved survival. The discordance between these conflicting studies could be explained in part by the influence of biologic and physiologic selection on the association of IONM re-resection and survival. Since most studies did not include patients receiving modern combination chemotherapy regimens, the intersection between margin status, tumor biology, and chemoresponsiveness remains unclear. Furthermore, there are no dedicated data to guide surgical management in IONM-positive pancreaticoduodenectomy for patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions and Relevance Although data regarding the oncologic utility of additional resection to achieve a tumor-free margin following initial IONM positivity during pancreaticoduodenectomy for PDAC are conflicting, they suggest that IONM positivity may be a surrogate for biologic aggressiveness that is unlikely to be mitigated by the extent of surgical resection. The complex relationship between margin status and chemoresponsiveness warrants exploration in studies including patients receiving increasingly effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Simple Summary Aggressive arterial resection or total pancreatectomy in surgical treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) has gradually been encouraged thanks to new chemotherapy regimens such as FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, which have provided more adequate patient selection and local tumor suppression, justifying aggressive local resection. The development of surgical techniques provides the safety of arterial resection (AR) for even major visceral arteries, such as the celiac axis or superior mesenteric artery. Total pancreatectomy has been re-evaluated as an effective option to balance both the local control and postoperative safety. In this review, we investigate the recent reports focusing on arterial resection and total pancreatectomy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and discuss the rationale of such an aggressive approach in the treatment of PC. Abstract Aggressive arterial resection (AR) or total pancreatectomy (TP) in surgical treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) had long been discouraged because of their high mortality rate and unsatisfactory long-term outcomes. Recently, new chemotherapy regimens such as FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel have provided more adequate patient selection and local tumor suppression, justifying aggressive local resection. In this review, we investigate the recent reports focusing on arterial resection and total pancreatectomy for LAPC and discuss the rationale of such an aggressive approach in the treatment of PC. AR for LAPCs is divided into three, according to the target vessel. The hepatic artery resection is the simplest one, and the reconstruction methods comprise end-to-end, graft or transposition, and no reconstruction. Celiac axis resection is mainly done with distal pancreatectomy, which allows collateral arterial supply to the liver via the pancreas head. Resection of the superior mesenteric artery is increasingly reported, though its rationale is still controversial. Total pancreatectomy has been re-evaluated as an effective option to balance both the local control and postoperative safety. In conclusion, more and more aggressive pancreatectomy has become justified by the principle of total neoadjuvant therapy. Further technical standardization and optimal neoadjuvant strategy are mandatory for the global dissemination of aggressive pancreatectomies.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment, and frozen section analysis is used to confirm diagnosis and determine resectability and margin status. OBJECTIVE.— To evaluate use and accuracy of frozen section and how diagnosis impacts surgical procedure. DESIGN.— We reviewed patients with planned pancreatic resections between January 2014 and March 2019 with at least 1 frozen section. Pathology reports including frozen sections, preoperative cytology, and operative notes were reviewed. Frozen sections were categorized by margin, primary pancreatic diagnosis, metastasis, or vascular resectability. The deferral and error rates and surgeons' response were noted. RESULTS.— We identified 898 planned pancreatic resections and 221 frozen sections that were performed on 152 cases for 102 margins, 94 metastatic lesions, 20 primary diagnoses, and 5 to confirm vascular resectability. The diagnosis was deferred to permanent sections in 13 of 152 cases (8.6%) on 16 of 221 frozen sections (7.2%): 6 for metastasis, 8 for margins, and 2 for primary diagnosis. Discrepancies/errors were identified in 4 of 152 cases (2.6%) and 4 of 221 frozen sections (1.8%). Surgeon's response was different than expected in 8 of 221 frozen sections (3.6%), but their actions were explained by other intraoperative findings in 6 of 8. CONCLUSIONS.— Frozen section remains an important diagnostic tool used primarily for evaluation of margins and metastasis during pancreatectomy. In most cases, a definitive diagnosis is rendered, with occasional deferrals and few errors. Intraoperative findings explain most cases where surgeons act differently than expected based on frozen section diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative frozen section (IFS) is routinely utilized by many surgeons during pancreaticoduodenectomy. However, its utility has not been rigorously studied. METHODS Patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2006 and 2015 were identified from institutional data. Measures of diagnostic accuracy of frozen section and multivariate logistic regression are reported. RESULTS The cohort included 1076 patients. Of resected specimens, 73.3% were malignant. IFS and final pathologic review (the gold standard) were discrepant for (1) pathologic diagnosis or (2) resection margin status in 5.3% and 3.3% of cases. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of IFS for histologic determination of malignancy were 97.2%, 95.3%, and 96.7% respectively. For resection margins, they were 92.3%, 99.3%, and 96.8%, respectively. Positive bile duct and neck margins were revised intraoperatively 62% and 65% of the time, respectively; positive uncinate margins were never resected but led surgeons to avoid revision of a second positive margin in 13% of cases (4.2% of all PDA). Operative changes were rarely noted in the presence of benign disease (n = 11, 1.0%); conversion to total pancreatectomy based on positive margins was performed in just 13 cases (1.2%). Upon multivariable analysis, a positive neck margin proved to be the greatest predictor for a revised resection margin (AOR 16.9 [4.8-59.8]), whereas a positive uncinate margin or a diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis was protective against IFS-driven operative changes (AOR 0.25 [0.09-0.73]; AOR 0.16 [0.13-0.19]). CONCLUSIONS IFS is highly accurate and guides reresection of margins. However, selective omission of IFS may be justified for cases where benign disease is suspected.

Abstract
The oncological benefit of achieving a negative pancreatic neck margin through re-resection after a positive frozen section (FS) is debated. Aim of this network meta-analysis is to evaluate the survival benefit of re-resection after intraoperative FS neck margin examination following pancreatectomy for ductal adenocarcinoma. A systematic search of studies comparing different strategies for the management of positive FS was performed. Patients were classified in three groups based on FS and permanent section (PS): Group A (FS-, PS-R0), Group B (FS+, PS-R0), Group C (FS±, PS-R1). A frequent random-effects network-meta-analysis was made reporting the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA). Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints were pathological outcomes. Seven retrospectives studies with 4205 patients were included and 99.1% of the pancreatic resections were pancreatoduodenectomies. Group A had the highest probability of better OS (SUCRA = 90%), compared to Group B (SUCRA = 48.7%) and Group C, which was the worst prognostic scenario (SUCRA = 11.3%). Group B had still a probability of longer OS compared to Group C (SUCRA = 48.7% vs 11.3%). Pathological features were more favourable in Group A, with the highest SUCRA for T1-T2 tumors (92.6%), N0 status (89.4%), absence of perineural invasion (92.3%). Heterogeneity was low (τ-value <0.1) for OS, and moderate (τ-values: 0.1-0.6) for pT, pN, and perineural invasion. In conclusion, negative neck margin after primary resection (FS negative) or re-resection of a positive FS was associated with improved survival compared with PS-R1. However, any intraoperative positive FS can be considered as a prognostic factor associated with a more aggressive disease.

Partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer: Improving glycemic control and quality of life without compromising oncological outcomes.

[PMID: 33437401 PMCID: PMC7769744 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v12.i12.491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy (TP) is usually considered a therapeutic option for pancreatic cancer in which Whipple surgery and distal pancreatectomy are undesirable, but brittle diabetes and poor quality of life (QoL) remain major concerns. A subset of patients who underwent TP even died due to severe hypoglycemia. For pancreatic cancer involving the pancreatic head and proximal body but without invasion to the pancreatic tail, we performed partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy (PPTP-SP) in selected patients, in order to improve postoperative glycemic control and QoL without compromising oncological outcomes.
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of PPTP-SP for patients with pancreatic cancer.
METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 56 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent PPTP-SP (n = 18) or TP (n = 38) at our institution from May 2014 to January 2019. Clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups, with an emphasis on oncological outcomes, postoperative glycemic control, and QoL. QoL was evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC PAN26). All patients were followed until May 2019 or until death.
RESULTS A total of 56 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. Perioperative outcomes, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival were comparable between the two groups. No patients in the PPTP-SP group developed cancer recurrence in the pancreatic tail stump or splenic hilum, or a clinical pancreatic fistula. Patients who underwent PPTP-SP had significantly better glycemic control, based on their higher rate of insulin-independence (P = 0.014), lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level (P = 0.046), lower daily insulin dosage (P < 0.001), and less frequent hypoglycemic episodes (P < 0.001). Global health was similar in the two groups, but patients who underwent PPTP-SP had better functional status (P = 0.036), milder symptoms (P = 0.013), less severe diet restriction (P = 0.011), and higher confidence regarding future life (P = 0.035).
CONCLUSION For pancreatic cancer involving the pancreatic head and proximal body, PPTP-SP achieves perioperative and oncological outcomes comparable to TP in selected patients while significantly improving long-term glycemic control and QoL.

Birgin E, Rasbach E, Téoule P, Rückert F, Reissfelder C, Rahbari NN. Impact of intraoperative margin clearance on survival following pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:22178. [PMID: 33335201 PMCID: PMC7746710 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-79252-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of intraoperative margin revision to achieve margin clearance in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer is controversial. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the evidence of intraoperative margin revisions of the pancreatic neck and its impact on overall survival (OS). Nine studies with 4501 patients were included. Patient cohort was stratified in an R0R0-group (negative margin on frozen and permanent section), R1R0-group (revised positive margin on frozen section which turned negative on permanent section), and R1R1-group (positive margin on frozen and permanent section despite margin revision). OS was higher in the R1R0-group (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.72-0.96, P = 0.01) compared to the R1R1-group but lower compared to the R0R0-group (HR 1.20; 95% CI 1.05-1.37, P = 0.008), respectively. Subgroup analyses on the use of different margin clearance definitions confirmed an OS benefit in the R1R0-group compared to the R1R1-group (HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.65-0.99, P = 0.04). In conclusion, intraoperative margin clearance of the pancreatic neck margin is associated with improved OS while residual tumor indicates aggressive tumor biology. Consensus definitions on margin terminologies, clearance, and surgical techniques are required.

Zheng R, Nauheim D, Bassig J, Chadwick M, Schultz CW, Krampitz G, Lavu H, Winter JR, Yeo CJ, Berger AC. Margin-Positive Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma during Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Additional Resection Does Not Improve Survival. Ann Surg Oncol 2020; 28:1552-1562. [PMID: 32779052 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-09000-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of resecting positive margins during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains debated. Additionally, the survival benefit of resecting multiple positive margins is unknown. METHODS We identified patients with PDA who underwent PD from 2006 to 2015. Pancreatic neck, bile duct, and uncinate frozen section margins were assessed before and after resection of positive margins. Survival curves were compared with log-rank tests. Multivariable Cox regression assessed the effect of margin status on overall survival. RESULTS Of 501 patients identified, 17.3%, 5.3%, and 19.7% had an initially positive uncinate, bile duct, or neck margin, respectively. Among initially positive bile duct and neck margins, 77.8% and 67.0% were resected, respectively. Although median survival was decreased among patients with any positive margins (15.6 vs. 20.9 months; p = 0.006), it was similar among patients with positive bile duct or neck margins with or without R1 to R0 resection (17.0 vs. 15.6 months; p = 0.20). Median survival with and without positive uncinate margins was 13.8 vs. 19.7 months (p = 0.04). Uncinate margins were never resected. Resection of additional margins when the uncinate was concurrently positive was not associated with improved survival (p = 0.37). Patients with positive margins who received adjuvant therapy had improved survival, regardless of margin resection (p = 0.03). Adjuvant therapy was independently protective against death (hazard ratio 0.6, 95% CI 0.5-0.7). CONCLUSIONS Positive PD margins at any position are associated with reduced overall survival; however, resection of additional margins may not improve survival, particularly with concurrently positive uncinate margins. Adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival with positive margins, regardless of resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of high-volume care in total pancreatectomy (TP) is barely explored since annual numbers are mostly low. This study evaluated surgical outcomes after TP over time in a high-volume center. METHODS All adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent an elective single-stage TP at Karolinska University Hospital were retrospectively analysed (2008-2017). High volume was defined as > 20 TPs/year. RESULTS Overall, 145 patients after TP were included, including 86 (59.3%) extended resections. Major morbidity was 34.5% (50/145) and 90-day mortality 5.5% (8/145). The relative use of TP within all pancreatectomies increased from 5.4% (63/1175) in 2008-2015 to 17.3% (82/473) in 2016-2017 (p < 0.001). Over time, TP was more often performed to achieve radicality (n = 11, 17.5% to n = 31, 37.8%; p = 0.007). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, an annual TP-volume of > 20 was associated with reduced major morbidity (odds ratio [OR] = 0.225, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.097-0.521; p < 0.001). In the high-volume years (2016-2017), major morbidity (n = 31, 49.2% to n = 19, 23.2%; p = 0.001) and relaparotomy rate (n = 13, 20.6% to n = 5, 6.1%; p = 0.009) improved. Improvements occurred mainly after extended TP, including lower major morbidity (n = 22, 57.9% to n = 12, 25.0%; p = 0.002) and in-hospital mortality (n = 3, 7.9% to n = 0, 0%; p = 0.082). CONCLUSIONS In a single, high-volume center study, an increase in surgical volume of TP was associated with improved perioperative outcomes, especially for extended resections.

Abstract
Background Individuals with a very high lifetime risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; for example, hereditary pancreatitis and main-duct or mixed-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, may wish to discuss prophylactic total pancreatectomy but strategies to do so are lacking. Objective To develop a shared decision-making programme for prophylactic total pancreatectomy using decision tables. Methods Focus group meetings with patients were used to identify relevant questions. Systematic reviews were performed to answer these questions. Results The first tables included hereditary pancreatitis and main-duct or mixed-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. No studies focused on prophylactic total pancreatectomy in these groups. In 52 studies (3570 patients), major morbidity after total pancreatectomy was 25% and 30-day mortality was 6%. After minimally invasive total pancreatectomy (seven studies, 35 patients) this was, respectively, 13% and 0%. Exocrine insufficiency-related symptoms occurred in 33%. Quality of life after total pancreatectomy was slightly lower compared with the general population. Conclusion The decision tables can be helpful for discussing prophylactic total pancreatectomy with individuals at high risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Laparoscopic total pancreatectomy (LTP) is technical challenging and rarely reported in the literature. Herein, we introduced a safe and feasible approach to perform LTP basing on our own experience.Over the period of July 2015 to August 2018, we performed 13 cases of LTP at our institution. Demographic characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative variables, and follow-up outcomes were prospectively collected. The surgical procedures were also described in this study.Seven male and six female patients were included in this study. The median age of the patients was 51 years (range 29-79 years). The median operative time was 355 minutes (range 300-470 minutes). The median estimated blood loss was 200 mL (range 50-1000 mL). The median postoperative hospital stay was 17 days (range 12-23 days). One patient suffered from bile leakage and another patient suffered from delayed gastric emptying. Both patients cured with conservative therapy.Laparoscopic total pancreatectomy can be safely and feasibly performed in well-selected patients.

Abstract
Negative margins are the goal with pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Thereby, margins are assessed intraoperatively with frozen section analysis and negative margins are pursued. This study was undertaken to determine the impact of margin status with pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma and the value of extending resections to achieve negative margins. The intraoperative frozen section analysis and final margins for 448 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma were assessed and their impact on survival was determined. Median data are presented. Two hundred ninety-eight (67%) patients had negative margins (R0), an additional 110 (25%) patients had microscopically positive and macroscopically negative margins (R1), and an additional 40 (9%) patients had initially positive microscopic margins, which became negative with further resection (R1 å R0). R0 resections were more likely to have smaller tumors, earlier T grade, earlier N grade, lower American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, and less frequent extrapancreatic extension ( P ≤ 0.03 for each). Survival was better with R0 resections than R1 resections (20 vs 12 months, P < 0.001); extending resections to achieve negative margins (i.e., R1 ! R0) did not improve survival beyond R1 resections (14 vs 12 months, P = 0.19). Survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy is disappointing. Patients with initial negative margins do best. Positive microscopic margins reflect more aggressive tumor-specific factors and lead to abbreviated survival even with extended resections to achieve negative margins (i.e., R1 ! R0). With an initial positive margin, pursuing negative margins does not improve survival and, thereby, negative margins should not be “chased.”

Abstract
Background: Total pancreatectomy is an obligatory surgical procedure in locally advanced or centrally located pancreatic neoplasms to achieve complete tumour clearance. Owing to sound understanding of tumour biology and evolution in intervention technique and improved postoperative care, nowadays the indications of total pancreatectomy have taken a significant change. Aim: To review the indications of total pancreatectomy and its advantages and disadvantages under current perspectives. Method: Major databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and the Cochrane Library, were searched for studies of total pancreatectomy and the results reported by various authors were summarized. Results: The indications of total pancreatectomy in subjects diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis were classified into four subgroups, including "Tumour", "Trouble", "Technical difficulties" and "Therapy-refractory pain". Today, total pancreatectomy has more specific and different indications than before. Currently, IPMN (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm) seems to have the most essential indication quantitatively. Morbidity and mortality related to total pancreatectomy are more profoundly decreased than before due to improvements in the operative techniques and post-operative managements. Some of the metabolic disorders are reported as major disadvantages of total pancreatectomy. Conclusion: Despite the disadvantages of total pancreatectomy, it remains an inevitable procedure for subjects with chronic pancreatitis, improvements in operative techniques and postoperative management ensuring long-term survival, a better quality of life, and diminished mortality and morbidity rates.

Abstract
The role of total pancreatectomy (TP) to treat pancreatic carcinoma is still debated. The aims of this study were to systematically review the previous literature and to summarize the indications and results of TP for pancreatic carcinoma. A systematic search was performed to identify all studies published up to November 2018 analyzing the survival of patients undergoing TP for pancreatic carcinoma. Clinical effectiveness was synthetized through a narrative review with full tabulation of results. Six studies published between 2009 and 2016 were retrieved, including 316 patients. The major indication was positive pancreatic margin at frozen section during partial pancreatectomy. The overall morbidity ranged from 36% to 69%, and mortality from 0% to 27%. Overall survival ranged from 52.7% to 67% at 1 year, from 20% to 42% at 3 years of follow-up, whereas the 5-year estimated overall survival ranged from 4.5% to 21.9%. Total pancreatectomy has an important role in the armamentarium of pancreatic surgeons. Postoperative morbidity and mortality are not negligible, but a trend for better postoperative outcomes in recent years is noticed. Mortality related to difficult glycemic control is rare. Long-term survival is comparable with survival after partial pancreatectomy for carcinoma.

Abstract
RATIONALE Total pancreatectomy (TP) is performed in cases of multifocal and large invasive tumors of the pancreas, and is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Previously, the limitations and unsatisfactory effect of this surgery rendered it rarely performed; however, with improvements in surgical techniques and blood sugar management, TP is now more frequently performed. TP has a similar long-term survival rate as that for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). However, the application of TP plus total gastrectomy (TG) for the treatment of invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has not been reported previously. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient was a 64-year-old man with epigastric discomfort. Physical examination showed a hard mass. Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid mass located in the pancreatic body and involving the portal vein and stomach. DIAGNOSIS Pancreatic cancer. INTERVENTIONS The patient was treated with TP combined with TG and portal vein reconstruction. OUTCOMES The patient had a smooth post-operative recovery but, regretfully, developed metastases 2 months after discharge. LESSONS Considering the poor outcome of the present case, the validity of the operation should be reevaluated. Although a single case does not elicit a convincing conclusion, the current case might serve as a warning against performing a similar surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The threshold to perform total pancreatectomy is rather high, predominantly because of concerns for long-term consequences of brittle diabetes on patients' quality of life. Contemporary data on postoperative outcomes, diabetes management, and long-term quality of life after total pancreatectomy from large nationwide series are, however, lacking. METHODS We performed a nationwide, retrospective cohort study among adults who underwent total pancreatectomy in 17 Dutch centers (2006-2016). Morbidity and mortality were analyzed, and long-term quality of life was assessed cross-sectionally using the following generic and disease-specific questionnaires: the 5-level version European quality of life 5-dimension and the European Organization for Research and Treatment in Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Cancer. Several questionnaires specifically addressing diabetic quality of life included the Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale 20, the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-status version, and the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-II. Results were compared with the general population and patients with type 1 diabetes. RESULTS Overall, 148 patients after total pancreatectomy were included. The annual nationwide volume of total pancreatectomy increased from 5 in 2006 to 32 in 2015 (P < .05). The 30-day and 90-day mortality were 5% and 8%, respectively. The major complication rate was 32%. Quality of life questionnaires were completed by 60 patients (85%, median follow-up of 36 months). Participants reported lower global (73 vs 78, P = .03) and daily health status (0.83 vs 0.87, P < .01) compared to the general population. Quality of life did not differ based on time after total pancreatectomy (<3, 3-5, or >5 years). In general, patients were satisfied with their diabetes therapy and experienced similar diabetes-related distress as patients with type 1 diabetes. CONCLUSION This nationwide study found increased use of total pancreatectomy with a relatively high 90-day mortality. Long-term quality of life was lower compared to the general population, although differences were small. Diabetes-related distress and treatment satisfaction were similar to patients with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total pancreatectomy (TP) is an uncommon operation, with indications that have not been clearly defined and non-standardized postoperative results. We present a national multicentric study on TP and a comparison with the existing literature METHODS: A prospective observational study using data from the national registry of patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy and TP performed for any indication during the study period: January 1 to December 31, 2015 RESULTS: 1016 patients were included from 73 hospitals, 112 of whom had undergone TP. The percentage of TP from the total number of cases was 11%. The mean age was 63.5 years, and 57.2% were males. The most frequently suspected radiological diagnosis was pancreatic cancer (58/112 cases). The most common TP technique was "mesentery artery first" (43/112 cases). Venous resections were performed in 23 patients (20.5%). The percentage of postoperative complications within 90 days was 50%, but major complications (>IIIA) were only 20.7%. The overall 90-day mortality was 8% (9 patients). The average stay was 20.7 days. The 3most frequent definitive histological diagnoses were: adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and chronic pancreatitis. The R0 rate was 67.8%. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the morbidity and mortality results of TP in Spain are similar or superior to previous publications. More precise TP studies are necessary, focused on specific complications such as endocrine insufficiency.

Abstract
Background The only curative treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is radical surgical resection. Because of the special anatomic features of pancreatic neck, the selection of optimal surgical procedure for treatment of adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck has always been a dilemma for surgeons. In this paper, we aim to investigate whether different surgical procedures can affect prognosis in the patient with adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck. Methods We used the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database to review patients with adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck diagnosed between 1998 and 2015. We calculated overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of these patients using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model. Results Overall, 1443 patients were included in the study, with 12.5% treated with surgical resection. Among them, 30 (18.8%) patients underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP), 105 (65.6%) patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), and 25 (15.6%) patients underwent total pancreatectomy (TP). Patients underwent DP were older than these underwent TP (70.5±10.7 vs. 62.2±14.1, P = 0.027). Patients underwent TP had higher percentages of nodal metastasis (N1 stage) than these underwent DP (68.0% vs. 34.5%, P = 0.014). The surgical procedures did not significantly affect either OS times (P = 0.924) or CSS times (P = 0.786) in Kaplan-Meier analysis, even if in any subgroup of AJCC stage. The multivariate Cox regression model showed that types of surgery were not associated with OS and CSS. Higher tumor grade and AJCC stage are independent prognostic factors for OS and CSS. No radiotherapy was associated with a worse CSS (HR 1.610, 95% CI 1.016–2.554, P = 0.043). Conclusion Different surgical procedures did not affect prognosis in the patients with adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck. TP should be performed in carefully selective patients in high-volume pancreatic centers.

Cancer Manag Res 2019; 11:3899-3908. [PMID: 31123419 PMCID: PMC6511256 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s195726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2018] [Accepted: 03/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim: To assess whether total pancreatectomy (TP) is as feasible, safe, and efficacious as pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Materials and Methods: Major databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and the Cochrane Library, were searched for studies comparing TP and PD between January 1943 and June 2018. The meta-analysis only included studies that were conducted after 2000. The primary outcomes were morbidity and mortality. Pooled odds ratios (ORs), weighted mean differences (WMDs) or hazard ratios (HRs) with 95 percent confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed effects or random effects models. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated by the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Results: In total, 45 studies were included in this systematic review, and 5 non-randomized comparative studies with 786 patients (TP: 270, PD: 516) were included in the meta-analysis. There were no differences in terms of mortality (OR: 1.44, 95% CI: 0.66–3.16; P=0.36), hospital stay (WMD: −0.60, 95% CI: −1.78–0.59; P=0.32) and rates of reoperation (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 0.55–2.31; P=0.75) between the two groups. In addition, morbidity was not significantly different between the two groups (OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.01–1.97; P=0.05); however, the results showed that the TP group tended to have more complications than the PD group. Furthermore, the operation time (WMD: 29.56, 95% CI: 8.23–50.89; P=0.007) was longer in the TP group. Blood loss (WMD: 339.96, 95% CI: 117.74–562.18; P=0.003) and blood transfusion (OR: 4.86, 95% CI: 1.93–12.29; P=0.0008) were more common in the TP group than in the PD group. There were no differences in the long-term survival rates between the two groups. Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that TP may not be as feasible and safe as PD. However, TP and PD may have the same efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy may be necessary to achieve margin-negative resection for pancreatic cancer. However, despite the desirability of saving the spleen, the feasibility, safety, and oncological outcomes of spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy have not been studied in patients with malignancy involving the pancreatic neck or proximal body. The aim of this study was to report the efficacy of spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy using the Warshaw technique for patients with pancreatic malignancies. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent total pancreatectomy for malignant pancreatic diseases between December 2006 and January 2018 focused on comparing the clinical outcomes between conventional operations with splenectomy and spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy using the Warshaw technique. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients among a total of 59 total pancreatectomies had the spleen preservation by the Warshaw operation. In this series, the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas resected with the Warshaw technique were of smaller tumor size but had greater rates of vascular invasion, resulting in the more frequent vascular resection. No patients had splenic complications requiring splenectomy, but two patients intended to have the Warshaw operation were converted to splenectomy because of splenic malperfusion. Asymptomatic perigastric varices were noted in 4 patients. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were comparable between the Warshaw and conventional operation groups. Recurrence-free and overall survival was similar in both groups. CONCLUSION In patients with pancreatic malignancy, total pancreatectomy with preservation of the spleen using the Warshaw technique achieves outcomes comparable with conventional total pancreatectomy with splenectomy in selected patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim is to investigate whether additional resection based on intraoperative frozen section (FS) to a secondary R0(s) status are associated with different long-term survivals in pancreatic cancer patients, comparing to those with R1 or primary R0(p) status. METHODS A systematic literature search (PubMed, Embase, Science Citation Index, Springer-Link, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) was performed to identify all studies published up to June 2017. Survivals of patients undergoing pancreatic surgery according to the results of FS and re-resection were pooled for analysis. RESULTS Five cohort studies were qualified for inclusion in this review with a total of 2980 patients. Long-term survival outcomes favored R0(p) resection as compared to R0(s) resection (HR = 1.58, 95%CI 1.24-2.01, P = 0.0002, I2 = 58%). No significant difference was observed for patients with or without additional resection at the time of surgery when positive FS was detected (HR = 0.98, 95CI% 0.65-1.47, P = 0.91, I2 = 81%). CONCLUSIONS The present study did not support the concept of achieving an R0 resection by intraoperative re-resection would benefit the patient's survival. R1 margin at the time of surgery is more like a marker of aggressive tumor biology. Future well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the conclusion.

Abstract
Despite the identification of more active systemic therapy combinations for pancreatic cancer, cures remain elusive and feasible only in patients with localized, operable disease. When examining outcome data from phase III adjuvant trials conducted during the past decade, the survival for patients with localized disease has improved, likely owing to a combination of factors including more active adjuvant therapy and improved surgical and perioperative care. Perhaps the greatest recent change in the care of patients with localized pancreatic cancer has been the extension of surgery to tumors previously thought to be inoperable because of involvement of major blood vessels. These so-called "borderline resectable pancreatic cancers" have now been objectively defined, and their management is being studied in randomized trials. This has been made feasible by the availability of more active systemic therapy combinations that are increasingly being used in the neoadjuvant setting. Given the increasing activity of systemic regimens, the challenges in delivering such therapy in the postoperative setting, and the numerous novel agents in late stages of clinical development, it is reasonable to hypothesize that the neoadjuvant setting may eventually become the standard of care for patients with resectable disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent frozen section and paraffin section histology of the surgical resection margins during pancreaticoduodenectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Frozen section and routine paraffin section histopathology were performed using the following categories: R0 (no tumor cells at the surgical resection margin), R1 (tumor cells at, or within 1 mm, of the surgical resection margin), and R2 (tumor seen macroscopically at the surgical resection margin). R1 and R2 patients underwent additional resection to achieve R0. RESULTS Of 346 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, frozen section histology showed positive resection margins in 22 patients (9.2%) and paraffin section histology was positive in 20 patients (8.4%). The OS was nine months in frozen section-positive patients and 20 months in frozen section-negative patients (p=0.001). The OS rates were significantly different between the paraffin section-positive and paraffin section-negative patients (11 months vs. 21 months) (p=0.001). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that increased tumor size, high tumor grade, lymph node metastases, a positive superior mesenteric artery and retroperitoneal margin, and a positive resection margin on frozen section were significantly correlated with reduced OS (p<0.05). Twenty-two patients with positive resection margins on frozen section histology underwent further resection; R0 was achieved in 14 patients, with no significant difference in OS. CONCLUSIONS For patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic carcinoma with positive resection margins on frozen section, further surgical resection to achieve R0 had no significant positive impact on OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy (TP) is considered a viable option in some selected patients with pancreatic ductaladenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes between TP and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with PDAC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 375 patients were selected from our center's database in China and classified into two groups: the PD group (n = 325) and the TP group (n = 50). A matched-pair analysis of the patients was conducted with a ratio of 1:1. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed for overall survival. RESULTS Overall morbidity was lower in the PD group than in the TP group (31.4% vs 52%, respectively, P = 0.004). However, no significant difference was observed in major morbidity between the two groups (24.9% vs 30%, P = 0.455). The rates of 5-year overall (P = 0.043) and disease-free (P = 0.037) survival were significantly higher in the PD group. Furthermore, the univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that adjuvant chemotherapy (HR = 0.684, 95%CI = 0.545-0.860, P = 0.001) and margin resection status (HR = 1.666, 95%CI = 1.196-2.321, P = 0.003) were significant prognostic factors. After the matched-pair analysis, there were no significant differences between the two groups regarding postoperative complications and overall survival. However, the matched PD group had greater estimated blood loss (P = 0.037) and blood transfusion (56% vs 36%, P = 0.045). CONCLUSION From our study, the postoperative outcomes and survival time of TP are similar to those of matched PD. It seems reasonable to suggest that TP can be considered as safe, feasible, and efficacious as PD for patients with PDAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to compare the safety, efficacy, and patients' quality of life with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) versus multiple daily injections (MDIs) in type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) following total pancreatectomy (TP) and pancreatic enzyme usage. METHODS Thirty-nine patients with T3cDM (18 CSII patients vs 21 MDI patients) who underwent TP between 2000 and 2016 at 3 Harvard-affiliated hospitals and the University of Minnesota returned prospectively obtained questionnaires examining quality of life and both endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions. RESULTS Main indications for TP were as follows: chronic pancreatitis (n = 19), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (n = 12), and adenocarcinoma (n = 4). Median hemoglobin A1c using MDIs was 8.1% versus 7.3% in CSII. Severe hypoglycemic events using MDIs were increased compared with CSII (P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in quality-of-life measures with CSII versus MDIs. Pancreatic enzyme dose per meal (P < 0.05) differed between the hospitals. Gastrointestinal symptoms and unintended weight loss (P < 0.01) were more common with low doses of pancreatic enzymes. CONCLUSIONS After TP, CSII therapy is safe compared with MDIs in T3cDM and not associated with an increase in severe hypoglycemic events. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is highly variable with low doses associated with unintentional weight loss and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Duodenum and ventral pancreas preserving subtotal pancreatectomy for low-grade malignant neoplasms of the pancreas: An alternative procedure to total pancreatectomy for low-grade pancreatic neoplasms. World J Gastroenterol 2017; 23:6457-6466. [PMID: 29085195 PMCID: PMC5643271 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v23.i35.6457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2017] [Revised: 07/27/2017] [Accepted: 08/15/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To describe the indications, technique and outcomes of the novel surgical procedure of duodenum and ventral pancreas preserving subtotal pancreatectomy (DVPPSP).
METHODS Data collected retrospectively from 43 patients who underwent DVPPSP and TP between 2009 and 2015 in our single centre were analysed. For enrolment, only patients with low-grade pancreatic neoplasms, such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and solid pseudo-papillary tumors, were included. Ten DVPPSP (group 1) and 13 TP (group 2) patients were selected in this study.
RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, gender, comorbidities, preoperative symptoms, American Society of Anesthesiologists score or indications for surgery between the two groups. The most common indication was IPMN for DVPPSP and TP (60% vs 85%, P = 0.411). Compared with the TP group, the DVPPSP group had comparable postoperative morbidities (P = 0.405) and mortalities (both nil), but significantly shorter operative time (232 ± 19.6 min vs 335 ± 32.3 min, P < 0.001). DVPPSP preserved better long-term pancreatic function with less supplementary therapy (P < 0.001) and better quality of life (QoL) after surgery, including better scores in social (P = 0.042) and global health (P = 0.047) on functional scales and less appetite loss (P = 0.049) on the symptom scale.
CONCLUSION DVPPSP is a feasible and safe procedure that could be an alternative to TP for low-grade neoplasms arising from the body and tail region but across the neck region of the pancreas; DVPPSP had better metabolic function and QoL after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Indications for total pancreatectomy (TP) have increased, including for diffuse main duct intrapapillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas and malignancy; therefore, the need persists for surgeons to develop appropriate endocrine post-operative management strategies. The brittle diabetes after TP differs from type 1/2 diabetes in that patients have absolute deficiency of insulin and functional glucagon. This makes glucose management challenging, complicates recovery, and predisposes to hospital readmissions. This article aims to define the disease, describe the cause for its occurrence, review the anatomy of the endocrine pancreas, and explain how this condition differs from diabetes mellitus in the setting of post-operative management. The morbidity and mortality of post-TP endocrine insufficiency and practical treatment strategies are systematically reviewed from the literature. Finally, an evidence-based treatment algorithm is created for the practicing pancreatic surgeon and their care team of endocrinologists to aid in managing these complex patients. METHODS A PubMed, Science Citation Index/Social sciences Citation Index, and Cochrane Evidence-Based Medicine database search was undertaken along with extensive backward search of the references of published articles to identify studies evaluating endocrine morbidity and treatment after TP and to establish an evidence-based treatment strategy. RESULTS Indications for TP and the etiology of pancreatogenic diabetes are reviewed. After TP, ~80% patients develop hypoglycemic episodes and 40% experience severe hypoglycemia, resulting in 0-8% mortality and 25-45% morbidity. Referral to a nutritionist and endocrinologist for patient education before surgery followed by surgical reevaluation to determine if the patient has the appropriate understanding, support, and resources preoperatively has significantly reduced morbidity and mortality. The use of modern recombinant long-acting insulin analogues, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, and glucagon rescue therapy has greatly improved management in the modern era and constitute the current standard of care. A simple immediate post-operative algorithm was constructed. CONCLUSION Successful perioperative surgical management of total pancreatectomy and resulting pancreatogenic diabetes is critical to achieve acceptable post-operative outcomes, and we review the pertinent literature and provide a simple, evidence-based algorithm for immediate post-resection glycemic control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that intraoperative frozen section (FS) and re-resection results to achieve R0 status are associated with different long-term outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients. BACKGROUND Recent data have challenged the survival benefit of additional resection in patients with pancreatic cancer in case of positive FS to achieve clear pathological section (PS). METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for exocrine pancreatic malignancy with curative intent were identified from a prospective database. Data were stratified by resection margin (group I: FS-R0 → PS-R0; group II: FS-R1 → PS-R0; group III: FS-R1 → PS-R1). Associations with survival were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 483 patients met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 61 patients were excluded due to R2 or Rx status. Three hundred seventeen (75%) patients were allocated to margin group I, 32 (8%) to group II, and 73 (17%) to group III. Median overall survival in group I, II, and III was 29, 36, and 12 months (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in survival between patients in Group I and II (P = 0.849), whereas patients in group III had significantly poorer outcome than group I (P < 0.001) and II (P = 0.039). The prognostic value of margin group status was confirmed on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio = 1.694, 95% confidence interval 1.175-2.442). CONCLUSIONS FS analysis with intraoperative re-resection should be performed routinely in patients undergoing pancreatic cancer surgery with the aim to achieve a R0 resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Total pancreatectomy (TP) for pancreatic neoplasms is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, with recent advances in surgical techniques and improved postoperative management, the number of cases with clinical indications for TP is increasing. Here, we evaluated the clinical outcomes post-TP. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (n = 41) who underwent TP between 2004 and 2011 at Tokyo Women's Medical University were retrospectively examined. Pre- and postoperative clinicophysiological data were collected up to 12 months post-TP and then analyzed. RESULTS Only glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), percentage of lymphocytes and hepatic Hounsfield unit level on computed tomography (CT) were significantly different between the preoperative state and at 12 months post-TP, while other clinicophysiological parameters remained unchanged. The quantity of the pancreatic enzyme administered significantly influenced glycemic control at 12 months post-TP (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS All clinicophysiological parameters except for HbA1c were temporarily decreased after TP but normalized by 12 months. Thus, TP is a feasible surgical approach to treating pancreatic neoplasms with the potential to spread across the entire pancreas when adequately supplemented by synthetic insulin and pancreatic enzymes.

Abstract
Background: Intraoperative frozen section analysis is frequently used to obtain a histological diagnosis at the time of resection and to assess resection margins. Although many surgeons perceive a clinical benefit, particularly with respect to the transected resection margins, the limitations and pitfalls of frozen section analysis have not been well documented. Case: Here, we report a case of serous cystadenoma with background pancreatitis masquerading on frozen section as an invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This interpretation was a surprise in light of preoperative imaging that was highly suggestive of a benign cystic tumor, but nevertheless prompted intraoperative consideration of a more radical operation to ensure a complete resection was achieved. Conclusions: Frozen section analysis is an imperfect test, and misdiagnoses can potentially impact patient outcomes adversely. Intraoperative decisions must carefully integrate the preliminary pathological interpretation with the overall clinical context. Further studies are warranted to more fully characterize the accuracy, utility, and cost-effectiveness of intraoperative frozen section analysis for pancreatic surgery.

Abstract
AIM to determine the indications and to evaluate early and long-term outcomes of total pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Treatment of 29 patients who underwent one- and two-stage pancreatectomy for different malignancies was analyzed. RESULTS Median of surgery duration and intraoperative blood loss was 280 min and 2200 ml respectively. Postoperative complications were observed in 9 (31%) patients. There were 2 (6.9%) deaths. 1- and 3-year overall actual survival was 61% and 16% respectively in case of ductal adenocarcinoma. Median was 18 months. Patients after surgery for primary multiple lesion (cancer of pancreatic body-tail and major duodenal papilla), pancreatic metastases of renal cancer, mucinous cystadenoma and neuroendocrine cancer are still alive. Follow-up periods are 4, 49, 49 and 65 months respectively. CONCLUSION Total pancreatectomy is difficult intervention followed by severe metabolic disorders. However it can improve long-term survival with acceptable incidence of postoperative complications and quality of life if clear indications for surgery are present.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the outcomes of second pancreatectomy for the treatment of recurrent pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the remnant pancreas. METHOD Search of the PubMed database was undertaken to identify relevant English language studies. Pooled individually data were examined for clinical outcomes after second pancreatectomy for recurrent PDAC. RESULTS A total of 19 articles involving 55 patients were eligible for inclusion. The median disease-free interval after initial resection was 33 (range 7-143) months. Of the 55 patients reported, 52 (94.5%) patients underwent completion total pancreatectomy in the second operation for recurrences, including 15 patients who developed recurrences more than 5 years after the initial operation. There was no perioperative death. The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rate after the second pancreatectomy was 82.2%, 49.2% and 40.6% respectively. CONCLUSION Second pancreatectomy for recurrent PDAC can be performed safely with long-term survival in selected patients.

Abstract
AIM To identify the current indications and outcomes of total pancreatectomy at a high-volume center.
METHODS A single institutional retrospective study of patients undergoing total pancreatectomy from 1995 to 2014 was performed.
RESULTS One hundred and three patients underwent total pancreatectomy for indications including: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (n = 42, 40.8%), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (n = 40, 38.8%), chronic pancreatitis (n = 8, 7.8%), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (n = 7, 6.8%), and miscellaneous (n = 6, 5.8%). The mean age was 66.2 years, and 59 (57.3%) were female. Twenty-four patients (23.3%) underwent a laparoscopic total pancreatectomy. Splenic preservation and portal vein resection and reconstruction were performed in 24 (23.3%) and 18 patients (17.5%), respectively. The 90 d major complications, readmission, and mortality rates were 32%, 17.5%, and 6.8% respectively. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year survival for patients with benign indications were 84%, 82%, 79.5%, and 75.9%, and for malignant indications were 64%, 40.4%, 34.7% and 30.9%, respectively.
CONCLUSION Total pancreatectomy, including laparoscopic total pancreatectomy, appears to be an appropriate option for selected patients when treated at a high-volume pancreatic center and through a multispecialty approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to reappraise the clinical role of total pancreatectomy with curative intent in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS In 2001 to 2011 database from 7 institutions in Japan, 45 (3.1%) of 1451 patients with PDAC underwent total pancreatectomy (TP group), and 885 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD group). A matched-pairs group consisted of 45 patients matched for age, sex, year, resectability status, and neoadjuvant therapy (matched-PD group). Clinicopathological data, overall survival, and disease-free survival were compared between groups. RESULTS Clinical features of the TP group revealed higher-stage disease, greater surgical stress, a higher frequency of lymph node metastasis, and a lower adjuvant chemotherapy completion rate compared with the PD group (P < 0.05). Overall survival and disease-free survival in the TP group were significantly worse than those in the PD group (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed resectability status, neoadjuvant therapy, blood transfusion, lymph node metastasis, and adjuvant therapy to be significant prognostic factors. No differences in mortality and morbidity rates were observed between the 2 groups. A matched-pairs analysis revealed similar surgical outcomes and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS The surgical outcome of total pancreatectomy for patients with PDAC is acceptable. When margin-negative resection is expected, total pancreatectomy should not be abandoned in the modern era.

Abstract
Islet autotransplantation (IAT) is usually performed in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for chronic pancreatitis. In the present series, IAT was offered also to patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for both nonmalignant and malignant diseases, having either completion pancreatectomy as treatment for severe pancreatic fistulas (n = 21) or extensive distal pancreatectomy for neoplasms of the pancreatic neck (n = 19) or pancreatoduodenectomy because of the high risk of pancreatic fistula (n = 32). Fifty-eight of 72 patients who were eligible to this broader spectrum of indication actually received IAT. There was no evidence of a higher-than-expected rate of major complications for pancreatectomy. Forty-five patients receiving IAT were still alive at the time of the last scheduled follow-up (1375 ± 365 days). Eighteen (95%) of 19 and 11 (28%) of 39 patients reached insulin independence after partial or total pancreatectomy, respectively. The metabolic results were dependent on the transplanted islet mass. Thirty-one of 58 patients had malignant diseases of the pancreas or periampullary region, and only three patients developed ex novo liver metastases after IAT (median follow-up 914 ± 382 days). Our data demonstrate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of IAT for a broader spectrum of clinical indications beyond chronic pancreatitis.
