Abstract
Pancreatoduodenectomy is a complex surgical procedure involving three anastomoses. Anastomosis of the pancreatic stump with the gastrointestinal tract is associated with most complications described in the postoperative period. So, there have been multiple attempts to discover safe and sound steps for this particular anastomosis. Pancreaticogastrostomy involves anastomosis between the remaining pancreas and stomach. Since it was first performed, its surgical steps have been modified multiple times, but there is no gold standard method to perform it. In this paper, we describe the surgical steps of pancreaticogastrostomy in difficult pancreatic stumps in eight patients using two transpancreatic sutures, one purse string suture, and the incorporation of transpancreatic sutures in the third layer of the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis. Postoperative outcomes of this series have provided encouraging short-term results.

Abstract
Background and Objective Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third-leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and is projected to become the second-leading cause of cancer-related death by 2030. Despite advances in systemic and radiation therapy, for patients with surgically resectable PDAC, complete surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment option. The conduct of a safe, technically excellent pancreatectomy is essential to achieve optimal perioperative outcomes and long-term survival. In this narrative review, evidence from large, well-executed studies and clinical trials examining the technical aspects of pancreatectomy is reviewed. Methods A search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Review databases to identify English-language randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews assessing surgical aspects of pancreatectomy for PDAC published between 2010 to 2023. Key Content and Findings We identified retrospective and prospective studies evaluating the technical aspects of surgery for PDAC. In this review, we evaluate data on surgical techniques of pancreatectomy for PDAC, including the role of minimally invasive techniques, extent of lymphadenectomy, reconstruction options after pancreatoduodenectomy, and the role of surgical drainage. Conclusions Surgical resection has a critical role in the treatment of operable PDAC. While pancreatic cancer surgery is an active area of research, conducting a technically excellent surgical resection maintains paramount importance for both oncological and perioperative outcomes. In this review, we summarize the latest evidence on surgical technique for operable PDAC.

Single Center, Propensity Score Matching Analysis of Different Reconstruction Techniques following Pancreatoduodenectomy. J Clin Med 2023; 12:3318. [PMID: 37176758 PMCID: PMC10179219 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12093318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy is still hampered by significant morbidity. So far, there is no universally accepted technique aimed at minimizing postoperative complications. Herein, we compare three different reconstruction techniques. METHODS This is a retrospective study of a prospectively maintained database including 283 patients operated between January 2010 and December 2020. Three reconstruction techniques were compared: (1) the Neuhaus-style telescope pancreatojejunostomy, (2) the pancreatogastrostomy, and (3) the modified Blumgart-style, duct-to-mucosa pancreatojejunostomy. The primary endpoint consisted in determining the rates of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas (CR-POPF); the secondary endpoints included 90 days morbidity and mortality rates. A propensity score matching analysis was used. RESULTS Rates of CR-POPF did not differ significantly between the groups (Neuhaus-style pancreatojejunostomy 16%, pancreatogastrostomy 17%, modified Blumgart-style pancreatojejunostomy 15%), neither in the unmatched nor in the matched analysis (p = 0.993 and p = 0.901, respectively). Similarly, no significant differences could be observed with regard to major morbidity (unmatched p = 0.596, matched p = 0.188) and mortality rates (unmatched p = 0.371, matched p = 0.209) within the first 90 days following surgery. Propensity-score matching analyses revealed, however, a higher occurrence of post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage after pancreatogastrostomy (p = 0.015). CONCLUSION Similar CR-POPF rates suggest no crucial role of the applied reconstruction technique. Increased incidence of intraluminal post-pancreatectomy hemorrhages following pancreatogastrostomy demands awareness for meticulous hemostasis.

Abstract
Background We have been in constant search of novel innovations to decrease the high morbidity after Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) are the two different methods of reconstruction after PD. However, the existing data is ambiguous in supporting either of them as the preferred technique of reconstruction. Methods This was a single-center prospective observational study that included 64 patients who underwent PD over two years. We compared PG with PJ as a method of reconstruction after PD. The primary objective was to assess whether PG decreases the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rates or not. Secondary objectives comprised analysis of perioperative outcomes, 30-day and 90-day mortality. Results Pancreatic fistula was significantly lower in PG as compared to the PJ group (24% vs. 47%) with a p-value of 0.027. The incidence of clinically pertinent (grade B) fistula was only 3% in the PG group and 32% in the PJ group. PG group had a higher incidence of post pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) and delayed gastric emptying (DGE). No statistically significant difference was seen between either group need for blood transfusion, re-exploration, re-admissions, ICU stay, or length of hospital stay, and 30-day and 90-day mortality. Pancreatic texture and high BMI were independent predictors for pancreatic fistula. Conclusion PG when compared to PJ for reconstruction after PD, decreases the rate of POPF significantly; however, it is associated with an elevated risk of DGE and PPH. There was no difference in 30-day and 90-day mortality between both the treatment groups.

Abstract
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a troublesome complication after pancreatic surgeries, and grade C POPF is the most serious situation among pancreatic fistulas. At present, the incidence of grade C POPF varies from less than 1% to greater than 9%, with an extremely high postoperative mortality rate of 25.7%. The patients with grade C POPF finally undergo surgery with a poor prognosis after various failed conservative treatments. Although various surgical and perioperative attempts have been made to reduce the incidence of grade C POPF, the rates of this costly complication have not been significantly diminished. Hearteningly, several related studies have found that intra-abdominal infection from intestinal flora could promote the development of grade C POPF, which would help physicians to better prevent this complication. In this review, we briefly introduced the definition and relevant risk factors for grade C POPF. Moreover, this review discusses the two main pathways, direct intestinal juice spillover and bacterial translocation, by which intestinal microbes enter the abdominal cavity. Based on the abovementioned theory, we summarize the operation techniques and perioperative management of grade C POPF and discuss novel methods and surgical treatments to reverse this dilemma.

[PMID: 35987787 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.06.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to give an overview on the postoperative outcome after a minimally invasive (ie, laparoscopic and robot-assisted) central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy with a specific emphasis on the postoperative pancreatic fistula. For benign and low-grade malignant lesions in the pancreatic neck and body, central pancreatectomy may be an alternative to distal pancreatectomy. Exocrine and endocrine insufficiency occur less often after central pancreatectomy, but the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula is higher. METHODS An electronic search was performed for studies on elective minimally invasive central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy, which reported on major morbidity and postoperative pancreatic fistula in PubMed, Cochrane Register, Embase, and Google Scholar until June 1, 2021. A review protocol was developed a priori and registered in PROSPERO as CRD42021259738. A meta-regression was performed by using a random effects model. RESULTS Overall, 41 studies were included involving 1,004 patients, consisting of 158 laparoscopic minimally invasive central pancreatectomies, 80 robot-assisted minimally invasive central pancreatectomies, and 766 open central pancreatectomies. The overall rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula was 14%, major morbidity 14%, and 30-day mortality 1%. The rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (17% vs 24%, P = .194), major morbidity (17% vs 14%, P = .672), and new-onset diabetes (3% vs 6%, P = .353) did not differ significantly between minimally invasive central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy, respectively. Minimally invasive central pancreatectomy was associated with significantly fewer blood transfusions, less exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and fewer readmissions compared with open central pancreatectomy. A meta-regression was performed with a random effects model between minimally invasive central pancreatectomy and open central pancreatectomy and showed no significant difference for postoperative pancreatic fistula (random effects model 0.16 [0.10; 0.24] with P = .789), major morbidity (random effects model 0.20 [0.15; 0.25] with P = .410), and new-onset diabetes mellitus (random effects model 0.04 [0.02; 0.07] with P = .651). CONCLUSION In selected patients and in experienced hands, minimally invasive central pancreatectomy is a safe alternative to open central pancreatectomy for benign and low-grade malignant lesions of the neck and body. Ideally, further research should confirm this with the main focus on postoperative pancreatic fistula and endocrine and exocrine insufficiency.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains a dreadful complication. Duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy (DTMPJ) is a commonly performed anastomosis after PD. This study aims to evaluate whether there is a size limit of pancreatic duct below which POPF rate increases significantly after DTMPJ. Methods A retrospective study was performed from a database with prospectively collected data on consecutive patients undergoing DTMPJ. Results Between the years 2003 and 2019, a total of 288 patients with DTMPJ were recruited. POPF occurred in 56.3% of the patients, of which 43.8% were biochemical leak, 8.7% were grade B, and 1.4% were grade C. Overall operative morbidity was 51.4%, of which 19.1% were major complications. Five patients (1.7%) died within 90 days of operation. Patients with grade B/C POPF had significantly soft pancreas (p < 0.001), smaller duct size (p = 0.031), and a diagnosis of carcinoma of the pancreas (p = 0.027). When a clinically significant POPF rate was analysed based on the pancreatic duct diameter, pancreatic duct size ≤ 1 mm had the highest POPF rate (35.7%). There was a significant difference in POPF rate between adjacent ductal diameter ≤ 1 mm and > 1 mm to 2 mm (35.7% vs 13.3%; p = 0.040). Multivariable analysis showed that for the soft pancreas, pancreatic duct diameter ≤ 1 mm was the only significant predictive factor for POPF (p = 0.027). Conclusions DTMPJ can be safely performed for pancreatic duct > 1 mm without significantly increased POPF risk.

Double purse-string telescoped pancreaticogastrostomy is not superior in preventing pancreatic fistula development in high-risk anastomosis: a 6-year single-center case-control study. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 407:1073-1081. [PMID: 34782930 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02376-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The double purse-string telescoped pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) technique has been suggested as an alternative approach to reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Its efficacity in high-risk situations has not yet been explored. This study compared the incidence of clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF) between patients with high-risk anastomosis undergoing PG and those undergoing pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ). METHODS From 2013 to 2019, 198 consecutive patients with high-risk anastomosis, an updated alternative fistula risk score > 20%, and who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy with the PJ (165) or PG (33) technique were included. Optimal mitigation strategy (external stenting/octreotide omission) was applied for all patients. The primary endpoint was the incidence of CR-POPF. RESULTS The mean ua-FRS was 33%. CR-POPF (grade B/C) was found in 42 patients (21%) and postoperative hemorrhage in 30 (15%); the mortality rate was 4%. CR-POPF rates were comparable between the PJ (19%) and PG (33%) groups (P = 0.062). The PG group had a higher rate of POPF grade C (24% vs. 10%; P = 0.036), longer operative time (P = 0.019), and a higher transfusion rate (P < 0.001), even after a matching process on ua-FRS. In the multivariate analysis, the type of anastomosis (P = 0.88), body mass index (P = 0.47), or main pancreatic duct diameter (P = 0.7) did not influence CR-POPF occurrence. CONCLUSIONS For patients with high-risk anastomosis, the double purse-string telescoped PG technique was not superior to the PJ technique for preventing CR-POPF.

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

Abstract
The implementation of a pancreatico-enteric anastomosis following open single stage pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still associated with the most threatening complications in modern pancreatic surgery, such as postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), postpancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH), delayed gastric emptying (DGE), intraabdominal abscesses and related mortality. With this study, we introduce Charité-PG, a new dorsal incision only invagination type pancreatogastrostomy (dioPG) for the restoration of the pancreatic remnant following PD, and compare it to a PG requiring ventral gastrotomy (vgPG). A total of 49 consecutive patients, who underwent reconstruction via dioPG, and 92 consecutive patients, who underwent restoration via vgPG, were identified from our prospective database and further reviewed for perioperative parameters, complication rates, mortality and follow-up. The percentage of overall complications (p = 0.301), as well as the 30-day mortality rate (p = 0.725) and survival (p = 0.543), were comparable in both groups. The operation time in the dioPG group was significantly shorter (p = 0.04), and patients in this group developed substantially fewer rates of DGE (p = 0.036). We provide a feasible and safe technique for restoration following PD via our novel dioPG, causing fewer cases of DGE. Nevertheless, pancreatico-enteric anastomoses require expertise and experience.

Rate of Post-Operative Pancreatic Fistula after Robotic-Assisted Pancreaticoduodenectomy with Pancreato-Jejunostomy versus Pancreato-Gastrostomy: A Retrospective Case Matched Comparative Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10102181. [PMID: 34070025 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10102181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2021] [Revised: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Different techniques of pancreatic anastomosis have been described, with inconclusive results in terms of pancreatic fistula reduction. Studies comparing robotic pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) and pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) are scarcely reported. METHODS The present study analyzes the outcomes of two case-matched groups of patients who underwent PG (n = 20) or PJ (n = 40) after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The primary aim was to compare the rate of post-operative pancreatic fistula. RESULTS Operative time (375 vs. 315 min, p = 0.34), estimated blood loss (270 vs. 295 mL, p = 0.44), and rate of clinically relevant post-operative pancreatic fistula (12.5% vs. 10%, p = 0.82) were similar between the two groups. PJ was associated with a higher rate of intra-abdominal collections (7.5% vs. 0%, p = 0.002), but lower post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (2.5% vs. 10%, p = 0.003). PG was associated with a lower rate of post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (33.3% vs. 50%, p = 0.003) in the high-risk group of patients. CONCLUSIONS The outcomes of post-operative pancreatic fistula are comparable between the two reconstruction techniques. PG may have a lower incidence of POPF in patients with high-risk of pancreatic fistula.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop a prevention system that allows to reduce frequency of pancreatic fistula and severe postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS In our department results of 143 pancreatic head resections were analyzed in the period from January 2017 to December 2019. In the main group we proposed pancreatic fistula prevention system and assessment of sarcopenia that were applied in 56 patients during a year (from November 2018 to December 2019). In patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula we performed pancreato-jejunostomy with external drainage of the main pancreatic duct (stent) during the reconstructive stage after pancreatoduodenectomy. The comparison group was comprised of 87 patients. They were operated in the period from January 2017 to October 2018 without assessment of the pancreatic fistula risk and presence of sarcopenia. Decision on the type of pancreatic anastomosis was based on surgeon's preference. RESULTS The level of postoperetive complications was significantly higher in the comparison group 26 (29.9%) and 7 (12.5%) in the main group (χ2= 5.8, p = 0.01). The level of postoperative pancreatic fistula grade B or C was in 15 (17.2%) of 26 patients in the comparison group, which is significantly higher than in the main group, where the fistula gr. B occurred in 1 (1.8%) patient (χ2= 8.19, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS The developed prevention system allowed to reduce significantly the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula from 17.2% to 1.8% and the number of severe postoperative complications from 29.9% to 12.5%.

Abstract
Background The association between delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and pancreatic reconstruction technique remain unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the occurrence of DGE differs between pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG). Methods A total of 83 patients who underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy was retrospectively analyzed, and the factors associated with clinically relevant DGE were explored. These patients were divided into a PG group and a PJ group according to the pancreatic reconstruction. DGE occurrence and its association with intra-abdominal complications was compared between the two types of pancreatic reconstruction. Results The overall incidence of DGE was 27.7%. Intra-abdominal complications including pancreatic fistula were strongly associated with DGE. As to the pancreatic reconstruction, DGE developed more frequently in the PG than in the PJ. In addition, DGE with intra-abdominal complications tended to be more frequent in PG, despite the fact that intra-abdominal complications occurred at a similar frequency in both groups. Conclusions Intra-abdominal complications were strongly associated with DGE. As to the pancreatic reconstruction, DGE developed more frequently in the PG than in the PJ. We speculate that intra-abdominal complications affected patients with PG more and resulted in frequent occurrence of DGE.
