Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frequent complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. Preoperative factors are limited and controversial. This study aims to identify associated factors related to this complication in the Colombian population. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database was conducted. All patients over 18 years of age who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy were included. Associations with DGE syndrome were evaluated with logistic regression analysis, Odds ratio, and b-coefficient were provided when appropriate. RESULTS 205 patients were included. Male patients constituted 54.15% (n = 111). 53 patients (25.85%) were diagnosed with DGE syndrome. Smoking habit (OR 17.58 p 0.00 95% CI 7.62-40.51), hydromorphone use > 0.6 mg/daily (OR 11.04 p 0.03 95% CI 1.26-96.66), bilirubin levels > 6 mg/dL (OR 2.51 p 0.02 95% CI 1.12-5.61), and pancreatic fistula type B (OR 2.72 p 0.02 CI 1.74-10.00). DISCUSSION Smoking history, opioid use (hydromorphone > 0.6 mg/Daily), type B pancreatic fistula, and bilirubin levels > 6 mg/dL should be considered as risk factors for DGE.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the utility of gastrostomy tube (G-tube) placement in reducing delayed gastric emptying (DGE) among patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients undergoing PD from 2015 to 2020 at our institution. Thirty-day patient outcomes including DGE, length of stay (LOS), reoperation rates, and morbidity were analyzed in patients with or without G-tube placement. RESULTS 128 patients with resectable pancreatic head cancer (54 females, median age 68.50 [59.00-74.00]) underwent PD (66 had G-tube placement and 62 did not). There was no significant difference in the incidence of DGE (n = 17 vs. n = 17, p = 0.612), and LOS between the groups. Postoperative ileus (p = 0.007) was significantly lower while atrial fibrillation (p = 0.037) was higher among the G-tube group. Gastrostomy-related complications (p = 0.001) developed in ten patients: skin-related complications (n = 6), tube dislodgement (n = 3) and clogging (n = 1). Nine patients required reoperation during index admission (n = 4 vs. n = 5, p = 1.000). There was no difference in 30-day readmissions (n = 7 vs. n = 5, p = 0.471) and no difference in 30 or 90-day mortality. CONCLUSION Gastrostomy tube placement during index PD did not affect the incidence of DGE. However, patients experienced significant morbidities due to G-tube-related complications. Placement of gastrostomy tubes at the index PD offers no clinical benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). DGE causes prolonged hospital stay and a decrease in quality of life. This study analyzes predictive factors for development of DGE after PD, also in the absence of surgical complications. METHOD Data from the Swedish National Pancreatic Cancer Registry for patients undergoing standard and pylorus preserving open PD from January 2010 until June 30, 2018, were collected. Data were analyzed in two groups, no DGE and DGE. A subgroup of patients with DGE but without surgical complications was compared to patients without DGE or any other surgical complication. RESULTS In total, 2503 patients were included, of which 470 (19%) had DGE. In the DGE group, 238 had other coexisting surgical complications and 232 had not. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR = 4.22, p < 0.001), surgical infection (OR = 1.44, p = 0.013), heart disease (OR = 1.32, p = 0.023) and medical complications (OR = 1.35, p = 0.025) increased the risk for DGE. A standard PD compared with pylorus preserving resection (OR = 1.69, p = 0.001) and a reconstruction with a pancreaticojejunostomy compared with a pancreaticogastrostomy (OR = 1.83, p < 0.001) increased the risk. For patients without surgical complications, a standard PD and reconstruction with pancreaticojejunostomy still increased the risk for DGE. CONCLUSION DGE is more common after standard PD compared to pylorus preserving PD and after reconstruction with PJ compared to PG in this national cohort, both in the presence of other surgical complications as well as in the absence of other complications.

Abstract
Introduction Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major procedure. Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frequent postoperative complication that is attributed to several factors. Aim To investigate the probable association between perineural infiltrations and DGE, and the effects on overall survival. Material and methods A total of 123 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy were enrolled in the study. Factors like the presence of perineural infiltrations and post-operative DGE along with age, gender, presence of postoperative fistula, and grade of fistula and postoperative haemorrhage were analysed, and survival analyses were conducted. Results The presence of perineural infiltrations is statistically associated with DGE occurrence (p = 0.01). Moreover, the occurrence of DGE is statistically associated with male gender (p = 0.001), worse grade of postoperative fistula (p < 0.01), and the presence of postoperative haemorrhage (p = 0.03). There was no statistical association between the presence of perineural infiltrations and the other factors. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses showed that increased overall survival is associated with low age (p = 0.018 and p = 0.028, respectively), absence of perineural infiltrations (p = 0.005 and p = 0.003, respectively), better grade of postoperative fistula (p < 0.001), and absence of postoperative haemorrhage (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that independent prognostic factors for survival prognosis are perineural infiltrations, age, the presence of postoperative pancreatic fistula, and the presence of postoperative haemorrhage. Conclusions This is the first study that proves a statistically significant association between the presence of perineural infiltrations and the occurrence of DGE. Moreover, perineural infiltrations are an important independent prognostic factor for overall survival, along with other clinical factors.

Abstract
Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common complication of liver transplantation. This study aimed to clarify the efficacy and safety of the application of an adhesion barrier for preventing DGE in living-donor liver transplantation. This retrospective study included 453 patients who underwent living-donor liver transplantation using a right lobe graft between January 2018 and August 2019, and the incidence of postoperative DGE and complications was compared between patients in whom adhesion barrier was used (n=179 patients) and those in whom adhesion barrier was not used (n=274 patients). We performed 1:1 propensity score matching between the 2 groups, and 179 patients were included in each group. DGE was defined according to the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery classification. The use of adhesion barrier was significantly associated with a lower overall incidence of postoperative DGE in liver transplantation (30.7 vs. 17.9%; p =0.002), including grades A (16.8 vs. 9.5%; p =0.03), B (7.3 vs. 3.4%; p =0.08), and C (6.6 vs. 5.5%; p =0.50). After propensity score matching, similar results were observed for the overall incidence of DGE (29.6 vs. 17.9%; p =0.009), including grades A (16.8 vs. 9.5%; p =0.04), B (6.7 vs. 3.4%; p =0.15), and C (6.1 vs. 5.0%; p =0.65). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed a significant correlation between the use of adhesion barrier and a low incidence of DGE. There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative complications between the 2 groups. The application of an adhesion barrier could be a safe and feasible method to reduce the incidence of postoperative DGE in living-donor liver transplantation.

Dig Dis Sci 2023; 68:541-553. [PMID: 35995883 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-022-07667-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastric emptying scintigraphy is commonly performed to assess for dysmotility. A standardized meal with associated threshold criteria was established in 2000 to enable robust interpretation. However, no guidance is available to interpret results when patients do not ingest the entire meal. The purpose of this study is to determine the continued appropriateness of the threshold criteria in contemporary clinical practice and its relevance for partially ingested meals. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed patients (n = 1365 total) who underwent solid-phase gastric emptying scintigraphy at an academic medical center. Patients were stratified based on their completion of the standard meal. Patients were further stratified into normal and delayed gastric emptying cohorts based on the current criteria. Percent gastric retention values at 1, 2, 3, and 4 h were compared. RESULTS Median (95% upper reference) normal gastric retention values for the complete standard meal were 64% (87%) at 1 h, 25% (60%) at 2 h, 13% (54%) at 3 h and 4% (9%) at 4 h. Consumption of at least 50% of the standard meal yielded similar retention; 53% (86%) at 1 h, 19% (58%) at 2 h, 6% (29%) at 3 h and 3% (10%) at 4 h. There was no significant age- or gender-specific differences using the current criteria, and no differences were observed based on diabetic status. Retention values matched well with the current criteria and validated with data-driven clustering. CONCLUSION Adult normative standards for gastric emptying scintigraphy are appropriate for differentiating normal and delayed populations and can be applied to partial meals with at least 50% completion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frequent complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The diagnosis of DGE is based on International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) clinical criteria and objective assessments of DGE are infrequently used. The present literature review aimed to identify objective measures of DGE following PD and determine whether these measures correlate with the clinical definition of DGE. METHODS A systematic search was performed using the MEDLINE Ovid, EMBASE, Google Scholar and CINAHL databases for studies including pancreatic surgery, delayed gastric emptying and gastric motility until June 2022. The primary outcome was modalities undertaken for the objective measurement of DGE following PD and correlation between objective measurements and clinical diagnosis of DGE. Relevant risk of bias analysis was performed. RESULTS The search revealed 4881 records, of which 46 studies were included in the final analysis. There were four objective modalities of DGE assessment including gastric scintigraphy (n = 28), acetaminophen/paracetamol absorption test (n = 10), fluoroscopy (n = 6) and the 13C-acetate breath test (n = 3). Protocols were inconsistent, and reported correlations between clinical and objective measures of DGE were variable; however, amongst these measures, at least one study directly or indirectly inferred a correlation, with the greatest evidence accumulated for gastric scintigraphy. CONCLUSION Several objective modalities to assess DGE following PD have been identified and evaluated, however are infrequently used. Substantial variability exists in the literature regarding indications and interpretation of these tests, and there is a need for a real-time objective modality which correlates with ISGPS DGE definition after PD.

Abstract
BackgroundPostoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most critical complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Preoperative identification of high-risk patients and optimal pancreatic reconstruction technique can be a way to reduce postoperative complications.MethodsA series of 386 patients underwent PD over a 10-year period (2009–2019). On routinely performed preoperative computed tomography (CT) images, the ventro-dorsal diameters of duct (D) and parenchyma (P) were measured in the cutting plane at the superior mesenteric vein. Then, the ratio of both values was calculated (D/P ratio) Double-layer pancreatojejunostomy with alignment of duct and mucosa (ADAM) by two monofilament threads (MFT) was performed in 359 patients and pancreatogastrostomy (PG) in 27 patients. The incidence of POPF was diagnosed according to the International Study Group for Pancreatic Fistula criteria.ResultsThe overall rate of POPF was 21% (n = 80), and the rate of clinically relevant type B/C fistulas 6.5% (n = 25). A D/P ratio of <0.2 was significantly associated with type B/C fistula (11%, p < 0.01). In low-risk patients (D/P ratio >0.2), type B/C fistula occurred only in 2%, and in high-risk patients (D/P ratio <0.2) in 9%. ADAM anastomosis was performed safely by two different surgeons. A PG anastomosis had double-digit POPF rates in all groups.ConclusionPreoperative CT imaging with D/P measurement may predict the risk of POPF development. A cut off D/P ratio of <0.2 was significantly associated with clinical relevant POPF. ADAM anastomosis may be an option for pancreatojejunostomy. However, preoperative knowledge of the D/P ratio could guide decision-making for primary pancreatectomy when pancreatic reconstruction is critical.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the safety, feasibility, and early treatment outcomes of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) using a low-energy X-ray source. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with resectable pancreatic cancer were enrolled in this single-institution, prospective, single-arm, phase II trial. Patients underwent surgery and IORT with 10 Gy prescribed at a 5-mm depth from the tumor bed using a 50 kV X-ray source (Intrabeam, Carl Zeiss). Six cycles of adjuvant gemcitabine-based chemotherapy were administered 8-12 weeks after surgery. RESULTS A total of 41 patients were included. Thirty-one patients (75.6%) underwent wide R0 resection, while 5 (12.2%) underwent R1 resection and 5 (12.2%) underwent narrow R0 resection (retroperitoneal margin <1 mm). Grade 3 postoperative complications were reported in only one patient (4.9%) who needed additional surgery due to ulcer perforation. At a median follow-up of 9 months, four patients showed local-only recurrence, nine had distant metastases, and two showed both local and distant recurrence. The 1-year local control rate was 76.4%. CONCLUSION Our preliminary report suggests that IORT is well-tolerated and feasible in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. Further follow-up is needed to confirm the clinical benefits of IORT in terms of local control and overall survival. TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial Registration: Clinical trial registration No. (NCT03273374).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The practice of routine placement of a tube jejunostomy at the time of pancreatoduodenectomy has given way to a more selective approach. However, the indications of establishing enteral access at the time of surgery remain poorly defined. This study aimed to assess the preoperative and intraoperative factors associated with the need for nutritional support after pancreatoduodenectomy, to guide decision-making for the establishment of intraoperative feeding access. METHODS Retrospective study, analyzing the data of 562 consecutive patients, who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy between March 2013 to December 2020. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis was carried out to ascertain the factors associated with the initiation of and need for nutritional support for more than 7 days postop. The utility of tube jejunostomy was studied in patients in whom it was performed. RESULTS Of 562 patients, 105 (18.7%) needed nutritional support. A tube jejunostomy was performed in 46 (8.2%) patients, parenteral nutrition was used in 83 (14.8%), and nasojejunal tube placed in 28 (4.9%) patients. On logistic regression analysis, age, serum albumin <3.0 gm/dl and operative blood loss were independently associated with the initiation of supportive nutrition, while preoperative gastric outlet obstruction (OR 3.105, 95% CI1.201-8.032, p = 0.019) and serum albumin <3.0 gm/dl (OR 2.669, 95% CI 1.131-6.300, p = 0.025) were associated with the need for prolonged nutritional support. The maximal benefit of tube jejunostomy was in patients with mental health disorders (83.3%). CONCLUSION Tube jejunostomy for nutritional support after pancreatoduodenectomy can be considered in patients with preoperative gastric outlet obstruction, serum albumin <3.0 gm/dl and mental health disorders.

J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 25:2221-2230. [PMID: 33236322 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-020-04877-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frequent complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) that impairs recovery and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact risk-stratified pancreatectomy clinical pathways (RSPCPs) had on delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and identify factors associated with DGE in a contemporary period. METHODS A single-institution, prospective database was queried for consecutive PDs during July 2011-November 2019. Using international definitions, DGE rates were compared between periods before and after RSPCPs were implemented in 2016, classifying patients according to their postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) risk. Risk factors were analyzed to identify modifiable targets. RESULTS Among 724 elective PDs, 552 (76%) were for adenocarcinoma and 172 (24%) for other diagnoses. Of the 197 (27%) patients with DGE, 119 (16%) had type A, 41 (6%) type B, and 38 (5%) type C. In the overall cohort, DGE rates were higher with pylorus-preserving vs. classic hand-sewn reconstruction (odds ratio [OR] - 1.84; p < 0.001), postoperative abscess (OR - 2.54; p = 0.003), and non-white patients (p = 0.007), but lower after implementation of RSPCPs (OR - 0.34, p < 0.001). In the 374 patients treated with RSPCPs, only 17% (n = 65/374) developed DGE. Patients with protocol-compliant NGT removal ≤ 48 h were less likely to experience DGE (OR - 1.46, p = 0.042). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that implementation of preoperatively assigned RSPCPs as a care bundle was the most important factor in decreasing DGE. These gains were accentuated in patients who underwent early nasogastric tube removal and had a classic hand-sewn gastro-jejunostomy reconstruction. Application of these modifiable factors is generalizable with low implementation barriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and delayed gastric emptying (DGE) both remain problematic complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates whether Roux-en-Y compared to a single loop reconstruction in pancreaticoduodenectomy significantly reduces rates of these complications. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines by screening EMBASE, MEDLINE/PubMed, CENTRAL and bibliographic reference lists for comparative studies meeting the predetermined inclusion criteria. Post-operative outcome measures included: POPF, DGE, bile leak, operating time, blood loss, need for transfusion, wound infection, intra-abdominal collection, post-pancreatectomy haemorrhage, overall morbidity, re-operation, overall mortality, hospital length of stay. Pooled odds ratios or mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using either fixed- or random-effects models. RESULTS Fourteen studies were identified including four randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and 10 observational studies reporting a total of 2,031 patients. Data synthesis showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups in any of the outcome measures except operating time, which was longer in those undergoing Roux-en-Y reconstruction. DISCUSSION Roux-en-Y is not superior to single loop reconstruction in pancreaticoduodenectomy but may prolong operating time. Future high-quality randomised studies with appropriate study design and sample size power calculation may be required to further validate this conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the most common complications after Whipple surgery. This situation delays postoperative oral food intake and prolongs hospitalization. Postoperative DGE often develops due to complications such as intra-abdominal abscess, collections, and anastomosis leaks, and these are called secondary DGE. The pathogenesis of primary DGE is still unknown, and there are insufficient data in the literature about the treatment. In this study, patients undergoing Whipple operation were examined separately as primary and secondary DGE. We discussed the causes and treatments of these patients, and also we aimed to present the therapeutic effect of endoscopy for primary DGE after the Whipple procedure. METHODS From March 2014 to March 2018, data of 262 patients who underwent the Whipple procedure were collected prospectively. We observed that postoperative DGE developed in 53 (21.7%) patients. We retrospectively divided the patients by etiology into 2 groups as primary and secondary and graded DGE according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery. We defined patients who did not have secondary causes such as intra-abdominal abscess as primary DGE. Appropriate interventional procedures were performed for patients with secondary causes. We performed endoscopic intervention with therapeutic intent for patients who had primary DGE. RESULTS The overall rate of DGE was 21.7% (n = 53) among 262 patients undergoing the Whipple procedure. It was observed that in 31 (58.5%) of these 53 patients, DGE was developed due to secondary causes. Interventional procedures were performed to these patients when necessary. A total of 22 (41.5%) patients developed primary DGE. Of these, 9 patients were grade A, 7 were grade B, and 6 were grade C. The mean duration of hospitalization for secondary DGE and primary DGE was 20.36 and 28.7 days, respectively. After endoscopic intervention with therapeutic intent to primary DGE patients, we observed that patients tolerated solid meal after 12 hours in grade B and after 26 hours in grade C patients. CONCLUSION Delayed gastric emptying, which is a common complication after Whipple operation and which deteriorates the quality of life and prolongs the duration of hospital stay, should be treated according to the cause. In secondary DGE, treatment modalities must be focused on intra-abdominal causes such as hematoma, collection, and abcess. We suggest that the primary DGE which is unresponsive to medical treatments could be treated endoscopically. After endoscopic intervention, patients with primary DGE can be started oral intake on the same day and discharged more quickly.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This network meta-analysis aimed to identify the reconstruction technique associated with lowest rates of DGE following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS A systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase and MEDLINE databases was carried out using the PRISMA framework to identify all RCTs comparing reconstruction techniques of gastrojejunostomy after PD, with overall DGE as the primary endpoint. The primary outcome measure was overall DGE. Secondary outcomes were grade B/C DGE, duration of nasogastric tube, time to solid food intake, overall and grade B/C pancreatic fistula, bile leaks, reoperation, length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. RESULTS The search strategy identified eight RCTs including 761 patients. Six RCTs compared antecolic (n = 291 patients) and retrocolic Billroth II (n = 289 patients) reconstruction (n = 6 studies), and two RCTs compared antecolic Billroth II (n = 92 patients) and Roux-en-Y (n = 89 patients) reconstruction. Overall, antecolic Billroth II ranked best for overall and grade B/C DGE, bile leak, surgical site infection, length of stay and in-hospital mortality. Roux-en-Y was best for overall and grade B/C pancreatic fistula. CONCLUSION Antecolic Billroth II gastroenteric reconstruction is associated with the lowest rates of delayed gastric emptying after PD amongst the currently available techniques of gastrojejunostomy reconstructions.

Gastrocolic ligament lymph-node dissection may increase the incidence of delayed gastric emptying after colon cancer surgery with D3 lymphadenectomy. Surg Today 2021; 51:897-905.

Abstract
PURPOSE Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is associated with prolonged hospital stay and higher healthcare costs. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for DGE after D3 radical resection for colon cancer and to build a nomogram for this complication. METHODS We analyzed, retrospectively, 1160 consecutive patients who underwent surgery with D3 lymphadenectomy for colon cancer between January, 2012 and June, 2018. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for DGE and to build a DGE nomogram model. RESULTS There were ten, six and four patients with DGE classified as grades A, B and C, respectively, representing a DGE rate of 1.7%. Multivariate analysis revealed that age (P = 0.001), dissection of the gastrocolic ligament lymph nodes (GCLNs) (P = 0.001), surgical duration (P = 0.017) and preoperative hemoglobin level (P = 0.016) were independent risk factors, and were included to build a predictive model for DGE. The therapeutic index of GCLN dissection was approximately half that of D3 lymphadenectomy (2.9 vs. 5.6). CONCLUSIONS DGE is more likely to develop in patients aged > 75 years, those with a preoperative hemoglobin < 90 g/L, those with a surgical duration > 210 min, and those who undergo GCLN dissection. The nomogram may facilitate the stratification of patients at risk for DGE following D3 lymphadenectomy for colon cancer. Assessing long-term outcomes will help to evaluate the survival benefit of GCLN dissection in the future, to avoid unnecessary dissection and reduce the incidence of DGE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with high rates of morbidity. This combined with the psychological burden of cancer, may impact on a patient's quality of life (QoL), which can be measured by using patient-reported outcomes (PRO). OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review to evaluate the measurement of PRO after pancreaticoduodenectomy for cancer. METHODS 7 different databases were searched using 2 groups of search terms, one relating to pancreaticoduodenectomy, and one to PRO. Three authors screened the search results independently in a systematic manner based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS 27 studies, with 2173 eligible patients were included in the final analysis. Most of the included studies used validated instruments. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 questionnaire was most popular and used in 12 studies. The methodology of all included studies was also scrutinised. 12 studies were deemed to have high quality methodology according to pre-defined criteria. CONCLUSION The instruments and methods used to measure PRO are variable. The quality of PRO within the available literature has improved over time, as has the number of studies measuring PRO. PRO should be measured with uniformity in future trials so that patients can be provided with more comprehensive information regarding post-operative recovery and QoL during the shared decision-making process preoperatively.

Abstract
Objective Whipple's procedure for periampullary tumors has significant risks and complications. Delayed gastric emptying has the highest rate. Although the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery defined (ISGPS) this entity, multiple definitions still exist among authors. This study aims to revise the definition. Method Seventy-three consecutive patients were analyzed for complications, particularly delayed gastric emptying. All patients underwent a standardized surgery. Procedures used for total pancreatectomies and benign diseases were excluded. Results A total of 73 patients were included in the study. Intra-abdominal complications were observed in 15 (20.6%) patients. Grade C delayed gastric emptying was observed in only one (1.4%) patient. Grade A and B disease were observed in three (4.1%) patients. However, they responded well to conservative methods, causing no extra morbidity. Conclusion Grade A and B delayed gastric emptying can be observed after any gastrointestinal surgery. These patients respond well to simple conservative methods with nasogastric intubation. Drainage of the intra-abdominal collection resolves the emptying problem (if any). Only grade C disease without other intra-abdominal complications can be accepted as a complication of this procedure. ISGPS definition does not include the cause. Thus, the definition and grading can be revised.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common functional disorder after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal carcinoma. Management of DGE varies widely and it is unclear how comorbidities influence the postoperative course. This study sought to determine factors that influence postoperative DGE. METHODS This retrospective study evaluates patients who underwent esophagectomy with gastric pull-up between 2007 and 2019. The cohort was stratified in various ways to determine if postoperative care and outcomes differed, including patient demographics, comorbidities, intraoperative and postoperative procedures. RESULTS During the study period, 149 patients underwent esophagectomy and 37 had diabetes. Overall incidence of DGE, as defined in this study, was 76.5%. Surgery type was significantly different between DGE and normal emptying cohorts (P = 0.005). Comparing diabetic and nondiabetic patients, there was no significant difference noted in DGE (P = 0.25). Additionally, there was no difference in presence of DGE for patients who underwent any intraoperative pyloric procedure compared to those who did not (P = 0.36). Of significance, all 16 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had a delay in gastric emptying (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A higher proportion of patients with DGE post-esophagectomy were identified compared to the literature. There is little consensus on a true definition of DGE, but we believe this definition identifies patients suffering in the immediate postoperative period and in follow-up. There is no evidence to support a different postoperative course for patients with diabetes, but the link between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and DGE warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Background Hepatopancreatobiliary surgery is prone to complications. Methods are needed to monitor surgical outcomes and enable comparison between institutions. Methods Complications were collected prospectively and reviewed using the modified Accordion Severity Grading System (MASGS) and the Postoperative Morbidity Index (PMI). Results This study included 527 consecutive patients receiving either pancreatic or liver resection in 2000-2017 in Central Finland Central Hospital. The PMI was 0.177 for all patients, and 0.192, 0.094, 0.285, and 0.129 for patients receiving major pancreatic (n=218), minor pancreatic (n=93), major liver (n=73), and minor liver (n=143) resection, respectively. The rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomies (n=200) were 6.5% for grade B and 5.5% for grade C; rates for biliary leak were 1.0% (grade A), 2.5% (grade B), and 0.5% (grade C). Similarly, the rates for delayed gastric emptying (DGE) were 2.8% (grade A), 15.6% (grade B), and 3.7% (grade C). Postoperative hepatic dysfunction occurred in 2.3%, major surgical site bleeding in 2.3%, and biloma in 7.9% of patients after liver resection. Ninety-day mortality rates were 3.7% and 1.1% in major and minor pancreatic resections, and 8.2% and 0.7% in major and minor liver resections. Major complications occurred in 13.3% and 3.3% in pancreatic, and 19.2% and 6.3% in liver resections, respectively. Conclusions Major pancreatic and hepatic surgery are associated with significant morbidity and burden in our center, comparable with previous population-based studies. PMI is an informative way to monitor surgical outcomes and enable comparison between institutions.

Is delayed gastric emptying associated with pylorus ring preservation in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy? Asian J Surg 2020; 44:137-142. [PMID: 32951961 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2020.08.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE A high incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is observed in patients undergoing pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PpPD). However, DGE incidence after pancreaticoduodenectomy varied because of heterogeneity in surgical techniques, number of surgeons, and DGE definition. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in the incidence of DGE following PpPD and pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (PrPD) and to analyze the risk factor of DGE by a single surgeon to determine whether pylorus preservation was the main factor of DGE. METHODS This retrospective study included 115 patients who underwent PpPD (with pylorus ring preservation) and PrPD (without pylorus ring preservation) with laparotomy by a single surgeon at a tertiary center. RESULTS The overall incidence of DGE was 23.1%. For comparison, 20 patients (39.2%) in the PpPD group and 5 patients (8.8%) in the PrPD group had DGE, showing a significant difference (p < 0.001). On univariate analysis, hypertension, PpPD, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, packed red blood cell transfusion ≥500 mL, and clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula were associated with DGE. Multivariate analysis identified pylorus preservation and clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula as risk factors for DGE. CONCLUSION Compared with PpPD, PrPD significantly reduced the incidence of DGE.

Randomized clinical trial of pancreaticogastrostomy versus pancreaticojejunostomy regarding incidence of delayed gastric emptying after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2020; 405:921-928. [PMID: 32901299 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-020-01982-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is an important postoperative complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and its incidence may be associated with the utilized surgical procedures. Compared with pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) after PD, it may be speculated that pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) is a risk factor for DGE, because it needs an anastomosis of the remnant pancreas to the back wall of the stomach. This study aimed to compare PG and PJ with regard to the incidence of DGE after PD. METHODS We performed a prospective open-label randomized clinical trial (RCT) including patients undergoing elective pancreaticoduodenectomy, who were randomly assigned PG or PJ the day before surgery. The primary endpoint was incidence of DGE. RESULTS The study included 60 patients (30 PG, 30 PJ), of whom seven were deemed unresectable, one was enucleated, and one was switched from PJ to PG during surgery according to the surgeon's decision. Thus, modified intention-to-treat analyses were performed in 27 PG patients and 26 PJ patients. DGE occurred in three patients in the PG group and six patients in the PJ group, which did not constitute a significant between-group difference (P = 0.42). In the PG group, two cases were ISGPS grade A DGE and one was grade C. In the PJ group, one case was grade A, two grade B, and three grade C. The two groups also did not significantly differ in the incidence of other morbidities or postoperative hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS Post-PD DGE incidences were similar after PG and PJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) is an extended surgical procedure for patients with locally advanced cancer of the pancreatic body and tail. Recently, the usability of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in pancreatic cancer was reported. The purpose of this study was to clarify the impact of NAC on surgical outcomes and prognosis in DP-CAR patients. METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed 20 consecutive patients who underwent DP-CAR at a single institution. RESULTS Eleven of 20 patients (55.0%) received NAC. Their first regimens were gemcitabine (GEM) plus nab-PTX (n = 7, 63.6%), GEM plus S-1 (n = 3, 27.3%), and GEM (n = 1, 9.1%). Although two patients converted to a second regimen, none abandoned NAC due to adverse effects or could not undergo a planned procedure for disease progression. There were no significant differences in intraoperative variables, morbidity, including pancreatic fistula and delayed gastric emptying, and mortality between patients with and without NAC; however, patients with NAC had a significantly lower proportion of arterial invasion (p = 0.025), lymphatic invasion (p < 0.0001), and vascular invasion (p = 0.035). There were no significant differences in the induction rate of adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.201). The recurrence-free survival and overall survival rates in patients with NAC were significantly higher than in patients without NAC (p = 0.041 and p = 0.018, respectively). CONCLUSION DP-CAR following NAC was associated with a preferable prognosis and had no negative effect on surgical outcomes. Therefore, NAC in DP-CAR patients might be a beneficial and safe therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) involves complicated surgical procedures and is associated with high postoperative mortality. PD can be performed using laparoscopy; however, there is a lack of evidence on laparoscopic PD (LPD) outcomes in elderly patients. Therefore, this study aimed to compare LPD outcomes in elderly patients with those in patients aged <65 years and assess elderly outcomes according to the LPD surgical learning curve. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, medical records of 75 elderly patients (Group A) and 225 patients aged <65 years (Group B) were reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative data, as well as oncologic outcomes, were collected. To assess the effect of the surgical learning curve on outcomes of elderly patients, patients were equally divided into four phases, based on the number of surgeries performed at the study site. Results: The mean preoperative physical status score was significantly higher in Group A than in Group B (z = 5.222, P < .001), indicating higher disease severity. There were no significant differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, vascular reconstruction rate, or intensive care unit (ICU) stay between the groups. The blood transfusion rate (χ2 = 4.301, P = .038) and length of postoperative hospital stay (z = 2.386, P = .017) were significantly higher in Group A than in Group B. The surgical resection margins and the number of lymph nodes harvested did not differ between the two groups; however, a significant difference was observed in pathological results. In assessing the surgical learning curve, the pairwise comparison of means showed that the operation times in phases 3 and 4 were shorter than that in phase 1 (P < .05) and differences in nasogastric tube removal time between the four groups were statistically significant (H = 15.390, P = .002). Conclusions: Advanced age alone should not be a contraindication for LPD, since outcomes for elderly patients who have undergone LPD are similar to those for younger patients.

Perioperative Fluid Administration in Pancreatic Surgery: a Comparison of Three Regimens. J Gastrointest Surg 2020; 24:569-577.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimization of perioperative fluid management is a controversial issue. Weight-adjusted, fixed fluid strategies do not take into account patient hemodynamic status, so that individualized strategies guided by relevant variables may be preferable. We studied this issue in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery within our institution. METHODS All patients who underwent a laparotomy for pancreatic cancer during a 5-month period at our hospital (AOUI of Verona, Italy) were eligible to be included in this prospective, observational study. According to the responsible anesthesiologist's free choice, patients received, during surgery, either liberal (12 ml/kg/h) or restricted (4 ml/kg/h) fixed-volume weight-guided replacement fluids or goal-directed (GD) fluid replacement using stroke volume variation (SVV) determined by the FloTrac Vigileo device. RESULTS Eighty-six patients were included: 29 in the liberal group, 23 in the restricted group, and 34 in the GD group. The mean duration of surgery was 6 [4-7] h. Patients in the liberal group received more perioperative fluid than those in the GD and restricted groups. Nearly one third of all patients had a major complication, including delayed enteral feeding, and presented a longer duration of hospital stay. Despite the biases related to our limited cohort, there were significantly fewer postoperative complications (such as postoperative fistula, abdominal collection, and hemorrhage) in the restricted and GD groups of patients than in the liberal one. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing pancreatic surgery, a restricted or individually guided GD strategy for management of perioperative fluids can result in fewer complications than a liberal fluid strategy. Larger and randomized investigations are warranted to confirm these data on this domain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to present a modified pancreatojejunostomy technique for laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and to evaluate its safety and reliability. METHODS Clinical data from 67 patients who underwent LPD at a single center, from September 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively collected and analysed. Of these patients, 31 cases were subjected to modified pancreatojejunostomy (modified group), and 36 cases received duct-to-mucosa pancreatojejunostomy (control group) for LPD. We compared and analysed the operative outcomes and postoperative complications between the patients in the two groups. RESULTS All LPDs were successfully completed. The mean operation time for pancreatojejunostomy in the modified group was obviously lower than that of the control group (30.9 ± 6.6 min vs 45.3 ± 6.1 min, P < 0.01), and the total operative time was also shorter (321.8 ± 63.6 min vs 362.2 ± 59.6 min, P < 0.05) in the modified group. The overall incidence of postoperative complications was similar (29.0% vs 30.6% P = 0.724). Clinically relevant grade B/C POPF occurred in 2 patients (6.5%) in the modified group and 3 patients (8.3%) in the control group (P = 0.947); All cases were cured using conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our modified pancreatojejunostomy technique is safe, effective and easy to manipulate and learn following LPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes between laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP) and open spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (OSPDP) for treatment of benign and low-grade malignant tumors of the pancreas and evaluate feasibility and safety of LSPDP. METHODS The clinical data of 53 cases of LSPDP and 44 cases of OSPDP performed between January 2008 and August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared. RESULTS There was no significant difference in preoperative data between the two groups. However, the LSPDP group had statistically significant shorter operative time (145.3±55.9 versus 184.7±33.5, P=0.03) and lesser intraoperative blood loss (150.6±180.8 versus 253.5±76.2, P=0.03) than that of the OSPDP group. Moreover, the LSPDP group also had statistically significant earlier passing of first flatus (2.2±1.4 versus 3.1±1.9, P=0.01), earlier diet intake (2.3±1.8 versus 3.4±2.0, P=0.01), and shorter hospital stay (6.2±7.2 versus 8.8±9.3, 0.04) than that of the OSPDP group. However, postoperative pancreatic fistula (P=0.64) and total postoperative complications (P=0.59) were not significantly different between the groups. The rate of pancreatic fistula and total postoperative complications occurred in 62.5% and 64.5%, respectively, in LSPDP group and, similarly, 70% and 70.0%, respectively, in OSPDP group. CONCLUSION This study confirms that LSPDP is safe, feasible, and superior to OSPDP in terms of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and postoperative recovery. Hence, it is worth popularizing LSPDP for benign and low-grade malignant tumors of the pancreas.

Abstract
TRIAL DESIGN The aim of this study was to identify independent risk factors for post-pancreatoduodenectomy (post-PD) abdominal fluid collections (AFCs) and evaluate our management protocol on it. METHODS A retrospective analysis of consecutive 2064 cases who underwent PD over the past decade in 1 single center was conducted. The patients were divided into AFCs and non-AFCs group. Univariable and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors of AFCs. The AFCs group was compared with the non-AFCs group with respect to the incidence of postoperative outcomes. The characteristics of AFCs were further analyzed in terms of clinical manifestations. RESULTS Two thousand sixty-four cases with pancreaticoduodenectomy were recruited and 15% of them were found AFCs. Diameter of main pancreatic duct ≤3 mm was found to be an independent predictor of AFCs (P < .001), along with soft pancreatic texture (P = .002), mesenterico-portal vein resection (P < .001), and estimated intraoperative blood loss >800 mL (P < .001). The incidence of mild complications was significantly higher in AFCs group than in non-AFCs group (34% vs 20%, P < .001), whereas no significant differences were noted in the rate of severe complications between these 2 groups (15% vs 15%, P = .939). CONCLUSION Enhanced drainage is recommended as an effective measure to decrease the incidence of severe complications caused by post-PD AFCs.

Abstract
With increasing survival after esophagectomy for cancer, a growing number of individuals living with the functional results of a surgically altered anatomy calls for attention to the effects of delayed gastric conduit emptying (DGCE) on health-related quality of life and nutritional impairment. We here give an overview of the currently available literature on DGCE, in terms of epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostics, prevention and treatment. Attention is given to controversies in the current literature and obstacles related to general applicability of study results, as well as knowledge gaps that may be the focus for future research initiatives. Finally, we propose that measures are taken to reach international expert agreement regarding diagnostic criteria and a symptom grading tool for DGCE, and that functional radiological methods are established for the diagnosis and severity grading of DGCE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a critical complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Antecolic gastrojejunostomy has long been adopted as standard procedure because it is thought to reduce DGE. However, we have used retrocolic gastrojejunostomy (retro-GJ) for more than 10 years and have not observed high DGE rates. We aimed to clarify whether our retro-GJ approach produced comparable outcomes in preventing DGE. METHODS A total of 211 patients who underwent pylorus-resecting PD with retro-GJ at our institution between 2005 and 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence rate of DGE and the length of postoperative hospital stay were assessed. RESULTS The overall incidence of DGE with our retro-GJ procedure was 13% (n = 28), and the rate of clinically relevant DGE (grade B or C based on the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery criteria) was 4% (n = 8). The median postoperative hospital stay was 17 days (interquartile range, 13-25 days). Major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥III) occurred in 37% (n = 79) of patients and were not associated with the occurrence of clinically relevant DGE (P = 0.47). CONCLUSIONS Our retro-GJ approach after PD with gastrojejunostomy, which involves careful positioning at the left-sided inframesocolic point, satisfactorily prevents DGE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is the most important cause of an extended hospital stay after pancreatoduodenectomy. Reports suggest that a Roux-en-Y gastroenteric anastomosis may have lower incidence of DGE than a Billroth II reconstruction. The primary aim of this RCT was to compare Billroth II (single loop) and Roux-en-Y (double loop) after pancreatoduodenectomy to determine whether Roux-en-Y reconstruction is associated with a lower incidence of DGE. Secondary endpoints were postoperative complications. METHODS This was a randomized unblinded single-centre trial without masked evaluation of the main outcome. Patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy between 2013 and 2015 were randomized to undergo one of two types of gastroenteric anastomosis for reconstruction. RESULTS A total of 80 patients were randomized, 40 in each group. The incidence of DGE was the same in patients undergoing Billroth II or Roux-en-Y gastroenteric anastomosis (both 18 of 40 patients; P = 1·000). The grade of DGE was also similar in the Billroth II and Roux-en-Y groups (grade A, both 10 of 40; grade B, 5 of 40 versus 6 of 40; grade C, 3 of 40 versus 2 of 40; P = 0·962). The mortality rate was 3 per cent, with no significant difference between the two groups. There were no differences in the overall rate of postoperative morbidity, relaparotomy rate or duration of hospital stay. CONCLUSION The incidence and severity of DGE does not differ between single- or double-loop gastroenteric anastomosis performed after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sympathetic denervation of the antropyloric area combined with relative devascularization from division of the right gastric vessels (RGV) during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) could predispose to delayed gastric emptying (DGE). Therefore, some authors advocated for RGV preservation (RGVP), where feasibility and utility for the prevention of post-operative DGE have never been investigated. METHODS From 2011 to 2014, patients who underwent classic Whipple PD (CWPD, n = 34), standard pylorus-preserving PD (PPPD, n = 44) or PPPD with RGVP (n = 22) were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS RGVP was not possible in 12% of the cases because of an intraoperative injury of the RGV. There was no difference between CWPD, standard PPPD and PPPD with RGVP in terms of intraoperative blood loss, operative time, number of lymph node harvested and resection margins. Post-operative morbidity and mortality were comparable between the three groups, including rate (27%, 34% and 32%, P = 0.77) and severity of DGE, delay in removing nasogastric tube and use of prokinetics. Hospital stay was similar in all the compared groups. CONCLUSION This is the first study comparing post-operative outcomes after PPPD with RGVP, standard PPPD and CWPD. Although feasible and safe, RGVP during PPPD appeared to offer no obvious clinical benefit in terms of preventing post-operative complications, especially DGE.

Abstract
Postoperative delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a frustrating complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We studied whether monitoring of postoperative gastric motor activity using a novel wireless patch system can identify patients at risk for DGE. Patients ( n = 81) were prospectively studied since 2016; 75 patients total were analyzed for this study. After PD, battery-operated wireless patches (G-Tech Medical) that acquire gastrointestinal myoelectrical signals are placed on the abdomen and transmit data by Bluetooth. Patients were divided into early and late groups by diet tolerance of 7 days [enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) goal]. Subgroup analysis was done of patients included after ERAS initiation. The early and late groups had 50 and 25 patients, respectively, with a length of stay (LOS) of 7 and 11 days ( P < 0.05). Nasogastric insertion was required in 44% of the late group. Tolerance of food was noted by 6 versus 9 days in the early versus late group ( P < 0.05) with higher cumulative gastric myoelectrical activity. Diminished gastric myoelectrical activity accurately identified delayed tolerance to regular diet in a logistical regression analysis [area under the curve (AUC): 0.81; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.74-0.92]. The gastric myoelectrical activity also identified a delayed LOS status with an AUC of 0.75 (95% CI, 0.67-0.88). This stomach signal continued to be predictive in 90% of the ERAS cohort, despite earlier oral intake. Measurement of gastric activity after PD can distinguish patients with shorter or longer times to diet. This noninvasive technology provides data to identify patients at risk for DGE and may guide the timing of oral intake by gastric "readiness." NEW & NOTEWORTHY Limited clinical indicators exist after pancreaticoduodenectomy to allow prediction of delayed gastric emptying (DGE). This study introduces a novel, noninvasive, wireless patch system capable of accurately monitoring gastric myoelectric activity after surgery. This system can differentiate patients with longer or shorter times to a regular diet as well as provide objective data to identify patients at risk for DGE. This technology has the potential to individualize feeding regimens based on gastric activity patterns to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Objective To summarize the operation experience of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP) with preservation of splenic vessels by an inferior-posterior dissection of the pancreatic body and evaluate its feasibility. Methods Patients undergoing LSPDS at Ningbo Li Huili Hospital and Ningbo Li Huili Eastern Hospital from January 2014 to April 2017 were recruited in this study and were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach: the inferior-posterior approach group and the other approach group. We sought to compare outcomes of the two groups. Results The LSPDP procedure was completed successfully in 49 cases, and 48 patients had their splenic artery and vein preserved, including 26 cases in the inferior-posterior approach group and 22 cases in the other approach group. There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to age (p = 0.18), sex (p = 0.56), preoperative diabetes (p = 1.00), ASA grading (p = 1.00), tumor size (p = 0.91), intraoperative blood loss (t = −0.01, p = 0.99), hospital stay (t = −0.02, p = 0.98), and pancreatic fistula rates (p = 1.00). Patients undergoing LSPDP by the inferior-posterior approach had a shorter operative time (t = −4.13, p < 0.001) than the other approach group. Conclusions LSPDS by the inferior-posterior approach associated with shorter operative time is safe and feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early exclusion of a postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) may facilitate earlier drain removal in selected patients after distal pancreatectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of first postoperative day drain fluid amylase (DFA1) measurement to predict POPF. METHODS Patients in whom DFA1 was measured after distal pancreatectomy were identified from a prospectively maintained database over a five-year period. A cut-off value of DFA1 was derived using ROC analysis, which yielded sensitivity and negative predictive value of 100% for excluding POPF. RESULTS DFA1 was available in 53 of 138 (38%) patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy. 19 of 53 patients (36%) developed a pancreatic fistula (Grade A - 15, Grade B - 3, Grade C - 1). Median DFA1 was significantly higher in those who developed a pancreatic fistula (5473; range 613-28,450) compared those without (802; range 57-2350). p < 0.0001. Using ROC analysis, a DFA1 less than 600 excluded pancreatic fistula with a sensitivity of 100% (AUROC of 0.91; SE = 0.04, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION First postoperative day drain fluid amylase measurement may have a role in excluding pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. Such patients may be suitable for earlier drain removal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safety of pancreaticoduodenectomy has improved significantly in the past 3 decades. Current inpatient and 30-d mortality rates are low. However, incidence and causes of 90-d and 1-y mortality are poorly defined and largely unexplored. METHODS All patients who had pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2007 and 2016 were included in this single institution, retrospective cohort study. Distributions of pancreaticoduodenectomy-specific morbidity and cause-specific mortality were compared between early (within 90 d) and late (91-365 d) postoperative recovery periods. RESULTS A total of 551 pancreaticoduodenectomies were performed during the study period. Of these, 6 (1.1%), 20 (3.6%), and 91 (16.5%) patients died within 30, 90, and 365 d after pancreaticoduodenectomy, respectively. Causes of early and late mortality varied significantly (all P ≤ 0.032). The most common cause of death within 90 d was due to multisystem organ failure from sepsis or aspiration in 9 (45%) patients, followed by post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage in 5 (25%) patients, and cardiopulmonary arrest from myocardial infarction or pulmonary embolus in 3 (15%) patients. In contrast, recurrent cancer was the most common cause of death in 46 (65%) patients during the late postoperative period between 91 and 365 d. Mortality from failure to thrive and debility was similar between early and late postoperative periods (15% versus 19.7%, P = 0.76). CONCLUSIONS Most quality improvement initiatives in patients selected for pancreaticoduodenectomy have focused on reduction of technical complications and improvement of early postoperative mortality. Further reduction in postoperative mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy can be achieved by improving patient selection, mitigating postoperative malnutrition, and optimizing preoperative cancer staging and management strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is used for borderline-resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer (PDAC) and exhibits promising results in terms of pathological outcomes. However, little is known about its effect on surgical complications. METHODS We analyzed 445 pancreatic resections for PDAC from 2014 to 2016 at The Pancreas Institute, Verona University Hospital. The Modified Accordion Severity Grading System and average complication burden (ACB) were used to compare patients treated with NAT with patients who underwent upfront surgery (UFS). RESULTS Of 305 pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD), patients treated with NAT (n = 99) had less pancreatic fistula (POPF, 9.1% vs. 15.6%, p = 0.05) without grade C cases, but grade B ACB was increased (0.28 for NAT vs. 0.24 for UFS, p = 0.05). The postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) rate was lower in the NAT group (9.1% vs. 14.6%, p = 0.02), but ACB grades B (0.37 for NAT vs. 0.26 for UFS, p = 0.03) and C (0.43 for NAT vs. 0.29 for UFS, p = 0.05) were increased. Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) was increased in NAT cases (15.2% vs. 8.3%, p = 0.04), with higher grade C ACB (0.43 for NAT vs. 0.29 for UFS, p = 0.03). Of 94 distal pancreatectomies (DP), NAT patients (n = 26) developed more grade C POPF (11.5% vs. 1.5%, p = 0.04) and DGE (11.5% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.01) without differences in ACB. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing PD for PDAC after NAT exhibited reduced incidence of POPF and PPH but increased incidence of DGE compared with patients treated with UFS. Among patients developing postoperative complications after PD, those receiving NAT were associated with increased clinical burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) is indicated for left-sided locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. However, ischemic complication resulting from the sacrifice of the common hepatic artery and left gastric artery (LGA) remain problematic. The aim of this study was to analyze the feasibility of DP-CAR with preservation or reconstruction of the left gastric artery. METHOD Between April 2011 and December 2014, we treated 17 cases using DP-CAR with preservation or reconstruction of the LGA. If the tumor had involved the LGA, the LGA was dissected and reconstructed using the middle colic artery. We retrospectively analyzed the feasibility of this procedure. RESULTS Among 17 consecutive patients who underwent DP-CAR, the LGA was preserved in 13 patients and reconstructed in four patients. Major postoperative complications were observed in seven cases (41 %). A pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) or delayed gastric emptying (grade B/C) occurred in 7 (41 %) and 2 (12 %) cases, respectively. The overall R0 resection rate was 94 % (16/17). Eleven cases developed recurrences (liver, n = 4; lymph nodes, n = 2; peritoneal dissemination, n = 2; lung, n = 2; local recurrence, n = 1). The overall 1- and 3-year postoperative survival rates were 74 and 45 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary data showed that DP-CAR with preservation or reconstruction of the LGA is a safe and feasible approach, and that this procedure may reduce the risk of ischemic complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the most common morbidities of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The aim of this study was to clarify whether the incidence of DGE can be reduced by side-to-side gastric greater curvature-to-jejunal anastomosis in subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (SSPPD). METHODS The clinical data of 253 patients who had undergone PD were examined. Of a total of 188 patients who had undergone SSPPD, a gastrojejunostomy (GJ) was performed with end-to-side anastomosis in 87 patients (SSPPD-ETS group), and a GJ was performed with a greater curvature side-to-jejunal side anastomosis in 101 patients (SSPPD-STS group). After propensity score matching, the matched cohort consisted of 74 patients in each group. The postoperative data were evaluated according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery grade of DGE. RESULTS The total incidence of DGE was 9.4% in the SSPPD-ETS group and 4% in the SSPPD-STS group, with no significant difference (p = 0.1902). A significant difference was observed between the two groups in the incidence of DGE grade C (p = 0.0426). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of total DGE was not reduced statistically in the STS group compared with the ETS group, but reduced DGE grade C. Side-to-side anastomosis might be associated with a reduced incidence of DGE grade C.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigates the factors that could influence the development of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Delayed gastric emptying is a common complication after PD. The postoperative course is affected by a lengthened hospital stay, a decrease of the patients' quality of life, and a delayed adjuvant treatment. METHODS From January 2000 to December 2012, 257 patients underwent PD in the same center. Forty-six variables were retrospectively extracted from medical records. Delayed gastric emptying (grades A, B, and C) was defined by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery classification. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with DGE. RESULTS Delayed gastric emptying occurred in 133 patients (51.8%), 89 grade A (66.9%), 27 grade B (20.3%), and 17 grade C (12.8%). Biliary fistula (odds ratio [OR], 8.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.07-37.99, P = 0.003), sepsis (OR, 8.02; 95% CI, 3.22-19.99; P < 0.0001), and intra-abdominal collection (OR, 3.43; 95% CI, 1.06-11.06; P = 0.039) were identified as independent risk factors for DGE, whereas pancreaticogastrostomy (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.16-0.64; P < 0.001) decreased the occurrence of DGE. CONCLUSIONS Delayed gastric emptying was linked to the occurrence of postoperative intra-abdominal complications, and reconstruction by pancreaticogastrostomy was beneficial by decreasing its incidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of definitions have been used for delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreatoduodenectomy and the reported rates varied widely. The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) definition is the current standard but it is not used universally. In this comprehensive review, we aimed to determine the acceptance rate of ISGPS definition of DGE, the incidence of DGE after pancreatoduodenectomy and the effect of various technical modifications on its incidence. DATA SOURCE We searched PubMed for studies regarding DGE after pancreatoduodenectomy that were published from 1 January 1980 to 1 July 2015 and extracted data on DGE definition, DGE rates and comparison of DGE rates among different technical modifications from all of the relevant articles. RESULTS Out of 435 search results, 178 were selected for data extraction. The ISGPS definition was used in 80% of the studies published since 2010 and the average rates of DGE and clinically relevant DGE were 27.7% (range: 0-100%; median: 18.7%) and 14.3% (range: 1.8%-58.2%; median: 13.6%), respectively. Pylorus preservation or retrocolic reconstruction were not associated with increased DGE rates. Although pyloric dilatation, Braun's entero-enterostomy and Billroth II reconstruction were associated with significantly lower DGE rates, pyloric ring resection appears to be most promising with favorable results in 7 out of 10 studies. CONCLUSIONS ISGPS definition of DGE has been used in majority of studies published after 2010. Clinically relevant DGE rates remain high at 14.3% despite a number of proposed surgical modifications. Pyloric ring resection seems to offer the most promising solution to reduce the occurrence of DGE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The perioperative morbidity following pancreas surgery remains high due to various specific complications: postoperative pancreatic fistula, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, and delayed gastric emptying. The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery has defined these complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical applicability, to validate the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery definition, and to evaluate the postoperative morbidity. METHODS Between 2004 and 2014, 769 patients underwent resection. Data were collected in a prospective database. Univariate examination was performed using the χ2-test. Continuous data were tested with the Mann-Whitney U-test. Student's t-tests and Fisher's exact tests were performed. RESULTS A total of 542 patients were included in this study. In all, 91 (16.8%) patients developed postoperative pancreatic fistula, 69 of them clinically relevant grades B and C postoperative pancreatic fistula. Grades B and C postoperative pancreatic fistulas were significantly associated with a longer hospital stay. The postoperative pancreatic fistula grade significantly correlated with re-operation. Totally, 32 (5.9%) patients developed postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage grade was significantly associated with re-operation and 30-day mortality. In all, 14 of 19 patients with grade C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (73.7%) were re-operated; 3 had a simultaneous postoperative pancreatic fistula C. Grade B postpancreatectomy hemorrhage significantly prolonged hospital stay. Grade C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage significantly prolonged intensive care unit stay. Grade C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage led to longer intensive care unit stay but a shorter hospital stay. Delayed gastric emptying occurred in 131 (24.2%) patients. The delayed gastric emptying grade was significantly associated with re-operation. Nine of the re-operated patients had a simultaneous postoperative pancreatic fistula C. Grades A, B, and C delayed gastric emptying were associated with prolonged hospital- and intensive care unit stay. CONCLUSION Delayed gastric emptying is the most common specific complication after pancreas resection, followed by postoperative pancreatic fistula and postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery definitions are well applicable in clinical routine and the different grades correlate well with severity of clinical condition, length of hospital or intensive care unit stay, and mortality. Their widespread use can contribute to a more reproducible and reliable comparison of surgical outcomes in pancreas surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and impact of chronic gastrointestinal dysmotility following total pancreactectomy with islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT) for chronic pancreatitis is not known. METHODS A cross-sectional study of all patients who underwent TP-IAT at our institution from August 2011 to November 2015 was undertaken. The GCSI (Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index), PAGI-SYM (Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index), PAC-SYM (Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms), Bristol stool chart, 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), and visual analog scale for pain were administered ≥4 weeks following TP-IAT. KEY RESULTS The prevalence of any dysmotility symptoms in patients who completed the survey (33/45, 73%) post-TP-IAT was 45%. Post-TP-IAT, the mean reduction in opioid dosing was 77.6 oral morphine equivalents (OMEs) (95% CI 32.1-123.0, p = 0.002) with 42% of patients requiring no opioids. There was significant negative correlation between dysmotility scores and SF-12 physical scores (r = -0.46, p = 0.008, 95% CI -0.70 to -0.13). Self-reported abdominal pain had significant negative correlation with both physical and mental SF-12 scores (r = -0.67, p < 0.001, 95% CI -0.83 to -0.41 and r = -0.39, p = 0.03, 95% CI -0.65 to -0.04). There was no correlation between gastrointestinal dysmotility and self-reported pain. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES Symptoms of chronic gastrointestinal dysmotility and chronic abdominal pain are common post-TP-IAT and will need to be better recognized and differentiated to improve the management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study investigates the clinical impact of Braun anastomosis on delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). METHODS From February 2013 to June 2014, 60 patients were recruited for this randomized controlled trial. The incidence of DGE and its risk factors were analyzed according to whether or not Braun anastomosis was used after PPPD. RESULTS Thirty patients were respectively enrolled in No-Braun group and Braun group. A comparative analysis between the two groups showed no differences in sex, diagnosis, operation time, hospital stay, or postoperative complications, including pancreatic fistula. Overall DGE developed in eight patients (26.7%) in the Braun group and in 14 patients (46.7%) in the No-Braun group (P = 0.108). However, clinically relevant DGE (grades B and C) was marginally more frequent in the No-Braun group (23.3% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.052). In a multivariable analysis, No-Braun anastomosis was an independent risk factor for developing clinically relevant DGE (odds ratio = 16.489; 95% confidence interval: 1.287-211.195; P = 0.031). CONCLUSION The overall DGE occurrence was not different between the two groups. However, No-Braun anastomosis was an independent risk factor for developing clinically relevant DGE.
