Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative anaemia is a prevalent morbidity predictor that adversely affects short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery. This analysis aimed to investigate preoperative anaemia and its detrimental effects on patients after distal pancreatectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study was a propensity-score match analysis of 286 consecutive patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy. Patients were screened for preoperative anaemia and classified according to WHO recommendations. The primary outcome measure was overall morbidity. The secondary endpoints were in-hospital mortality and rehospitalization. RESULTS The preoperative anaemia rate before matching was 34.3% (98 patients), and after matching a total of 127 patients (non-anaemic 42 vs. anaemic 85) were included. Anaemic patients had significantly more postoperative major complications (54.1% vs. 23.8%; p < 0.01), a higher comprehensive complication index (26.2 vs. 4.3; p < 0.01), and higher in-hospital mortality rate (14.1% vs. 2.4%; p = 0.04). Multivariate regression analysis confirmed these findings and identified preoperative anaemia as a strong independent risk factor for postoperative major morbidity (OR 4.047; 95% CI: 1.587-10.320; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The current propensity-score matched analysis strongly considered preoperative anaemia as a risk factor for major complications following distal pancreatectomy. Therefore, an intense preoperative anaemia workup should be increasingly prioritised.

Abstract
Objectives Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major cause of morbidity after pancreatic surgery. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) has been widely used to manage pancreatic pseudocysts after acute pancreatitis. Several studies have reported the effectiveness of EUS-TD for POPF, although there is insufficient evidence regarding the performance of EUS-TD for POPF. We herein report on the safety, efficacy, and appropriate timing of EUS-TD for POPF compared with conventional percutaneous intervention. Methods Eight patients who underwent EUS-TD of POPF and 36 patients who underwent percutaneous intervention were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical outcomes, including technical success, clinical success, and complications, were analyzed among the two groups. Results In terms of clinical outcomes between the EUS-TD and percutaneous intervention groups, significant differences were observed in the number of interventions (1 vs. 4, p = 0.011), period of clinical success (6 days vs. 11 days, p = 0.001), incidence of complications (0 vs. 3, p = 0.021), postoperative hospital stays (27 days vs. 34 days, p = 0.027), and recurrence of POPF (0 vs. 5, p = 0.001). Conclusions EUS-TD for POPF appears to be safe and technically feasible. This approach should be considered a therapeutic option in patients with POPF after pancreatic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative pancreatic fistula is a potentially devastating complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The purpose of this study was to identify features on preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging that correlate with an increased risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). METHODS Patients who underwent PD at our high-volume pancreatic surgery center from 2019 to 2021 were included if CT imaging was available within 8 weeks of surgical intervention. Pancreatic neck thickness (PNT), abdominal wall thickness (AWT), and intra-abdominal distance from pancreas to peritoneum (PTP) were measured by two board-certified radiologists who were blinded to the clinical outcomes. Radiographic measurements, as well as preoperative patient characteristics and intraoperative data, were assessed with univariate and multivariable analysis (MVA) to determine risk for clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF, grades B and C). RESULTS A total of 204 patients met inclusion criteria. Median PTP was 5.8 cm, AWT 1.9 cm, and PNT 1.3 cm. CR-POPF occurred in 33 of 204 (16.2%) patients. MVA revealed PTP > 5.8 cm (odds ratio [OR] 2.86, p = 0.023), PNT > 1.3 cm (OR 2.43, p = 0.047), soft pancreas consistency (OR 3.47, p = 0.012), and pancreatic duct size ≤ 3.0 mm (OR 4.55, p = 0.01) as independent risk factors for CR-POPF after PD. AWT and obesity were not associated with increased risk of CR-POPF. Patients with PTP > 5.8 cm or PNT > 1.3 cm were significantly more likely to suffer a major complication after PD (39.6% vs. 22.3% and 40% vs. 22.1%, p < 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Patients with a thick pancreatic neck and increased intra-abdominal girth have a heightened risk of CR-POPF after pancreatoduodenectomy, and they experience more serious postoperative complications. We defined a simple CT scan-based measurement tool to identify patients at increased risk of CR-POPF.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer, an exceptionally malignant tumor of the digestive system, presents a challenge due to its lack of typical early symptoms and highly invasive nature. The majority of pancreatic cancer patients are diagnosed when curative surgical resection is no longer possible, resulting in a poor overall prognosis. In recent years, the rapid progress of Artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field has led to the extensive utilization of machine learning and deep learning as the prevailing approaches. Various models based on AI technology have been employed in the early screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic prediction of pancreatic cancer patients. Furthermore, the development and application of three-dimensional visualization and augmented reality navigation techniques have also found their way into pancreatic cancer surgery. This article provides a concise summary of the current state of AI technology in pancreatic cancer and offers a promising outlook for its future applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major complication following pancreatectomy and is currently difficult to predict pre-operatively. This study aims to validate pre-operative risk factors and develop a novel combined score for the prediction of POPF in the pre-operative setting. METHODS Data were collected from 2016 to 2021 for radiologic main pancreatic duct diameter (MPD), body mass index (BMI), physical status classified by American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), polypharmacy, mean platelet ratio (MPR), comorbidity-polypharmacy score (CPS), and a novel Combined Pancreatic Leak Prediction Score (CPLPS) (derived from MPD diameter, BMI, and CPS) were obtained from pre-operative data and analyzed for their independent association with POPF occurrence. RESULTS In total, 166 patients who underwent pancreatectomy with pancreatic leak (Grade A, B, and C) occurring in 51(30.7%) of patients. Pre-operative radiologic MPD diameter < 4 mm (p < 0.001), < 5 mm (p < 0.001), < 6 mm (p = 0.001), BMI ≥ 25 (p = 0.009), and ≥ 30 (p = 0.017) were independently associated with the occurrence of pancreatic leak. CPLPS was also predictive of pancreatic leak following pancreatectomy on univariate (p = 0.005) and multivariate analysis (p = 0.036). CONCLUSION MPD and BMI were independent risk factors predictive for the development of pancreatic leak. CPLPS, was an independent predictor of pancreatic leak following pancreatectomy and could be used to help guide surgical decision making and patient counseling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Notwithstanding that significant medical progress has been achieved in recent years, the optimal nutritional support method following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains uncertain. This study compared the safety and feasibility of early oral feeding (EOF) with nasojejunal early enteral nutrition (NJEEN) after PD. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 428 consecutive patients who underwent PD between August 2018 and December 2020. During the first study phase, the routine postoperative feeding strategy was NJEEN, later replaced by EOF during the second study phase. The primary outcome was the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) following PD. Propensity score weighting was used to control for confounding factors. RESULTS Four hundred forty patients underwent PD during the overall study period, with 438 patients aged 18 years and older. Ten patients experienced accidental tube dislodgement or migration and were excluded from the study based on the exclusion criteria. Finally, 211 patients and 217 patients underwent EOF and NJEEN, respectively. After propensity score weighting, it was observed that patients who underwent postoperative EOF experienced a significantly lower DGE (B/C) rate compared to those who underwent postoperative NJEEN [7.38% (31/424) vs. 14.97% (62/413), P =0.0005]. Subgroup analyses according to the presence of soft pancreatic texture yielded consistent results. The EOF group exhibited lower DGE grade, DGE (B/C) rate [5.90% (11/194) vs. 22.07% (43/193), P <0.0001], postoperative gastrointestinal endoscopic intervention rate, and Clavien-Dindo Grade III or higher rate. CONCLUSIONS EOF is superior to NJEEN in reducing the incidence of grade B/C DGE after PD. The EOF procedure is safe and feasible and should be recommended as the optimal postoperative feeding method following PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing prediction models for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) lack discriminatory power or are too complex. This study aimed to develop a simple nomogram that could accurately predict clinically relevant POPF after PD. METHODS A high-volume, multicenter cohort of patients who underwent PD from the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database in the United States during 2014-2017 was used as the model training cohort ( n =3609), and patients who underwent PD from the Pancreatic Center of the National Cancer Center Hospital in China during 2014-2019 were used as the external validation cohort ( n =1347). The study used lasso penalized regression to screen large-scale variables, then logistic regression was performed to screen the variables and build a model. Finally, a prediction nomogram for clinically relevant POPF was established based on the logistic model, and polynomial equations were extracted. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS In the training and validation cohorts, there were 16.7% (601/3609) and 16.6% (224/1347) of patients who developed clinically relevant POPF, respectively. After screening using lasso and logistic regression, only six predictors were independently associated with clinically relevant POPF, including two preoperative indicators (weight and pancreatic duct size), one intraoperative indicator (pancreatic texture), and three postoperative indicators (deep surgical site infection, delayed gastric emptying, and pathology). The prediction of the new nomogram was accurate, with an area under the curve of 0.855 (95% CI: 0.702-0.853) in the external validation cohort, and the predictive performance was superior to three previously proposed POPF risk score models (all P <0.001, likelihood ratio test). CONCLUSIONS A reliable lasso-logistic method was applied to establish a novel nomogram based on six readily available indicators, achieving a sustained, dynamic, and precise POPF prediction for PD patients. With a limited number of variables and easy clinical application, this new model will enable surgeons to proactively predict, identify, and manage pancreatic fistulas to obtain better outcomes from this daunting postoperative complication.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatic artery anomalies (HAA) may have an impact on surgical and oncological outcomes of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS Patients who underwent PD at our institution between July 2015 and January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed and classified into two groups: group 1, with presence of HAA, and group 2, with no HAA. A weighted logistic regression model was employed to assess the association between HAA and postoperative complications, and to assess the association between HAA and R status in patients with pancreatic cancer. RESULTS 502 patients were considered for analysis, with 75 (15%) of them in group 1. They had either an accessory (n = 28, 40.8%) or replaced (n = 26, 36.6%) right hepatic artery. Most patients underwent surgery for a malignancy (n = 451; 90%); among them, vascular resection was performed in 69 cases (15%). The presence of a HAA was reported at preoperative imaging only in 4 cases (5%) and the aberrant vessel was preserved in 72% of patients. At weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis, HAA were not associated to higher odds of morbidity (odds ratio [OR]: 0.753, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.543-1.043) nor to R1 status in case of pancreatic cancer (OR: 1.583, 95% CI: 0.979-2.561). CONCLUSION At our institution, the presence of HAA does not have an impact on postoperative outcomes or affects oncological clearance after PD. Hospitals', surgeons', volume and systematic review of preoperative imaging are all factors that help reduce possible adverse events.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) has emerged as a parenchyma-preserving approach and has become the standard treatment for pancreatic benign and low-grade malignant lesions. Nevertheless, minimally invasive SPDP is still technically challenging, especially when vessel preservation is intended. This study aims to describe the technique and outcomes of laparoscopic (LSPDP) and robot-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (RSPDP) with intended vessel preservation, highlighting the important tips and tricks to overcome technical obstacles and optimize surgical outcomes. METHODS A retrospective observational study of consecutive patients undergoing LSPDP and RSPDP with intended vessel preservation by a single surgeon in two different centers. A video demonstrating both surgical techniques is attached. RESULTS A total of 50 patients who underwent minimally invasive SPDP were included of which 88% underwent LSPDP and 12% RSPDP. Splenic vessels were preserved in 37 patients (74%) while a salvage vessel-resecting technique was performed in 13 patients (26%). The average surgery time was 178 ± 74 min for the vessel-preserving and 188 ± 57 for the vessel-resecting technique (p = 0.706) with an estimated blood loss of 100 mL in both groups (p = 0.663). The overall complication rate was 46% (n = 23) with major complications (Clavien Dindo ≥ III) observed in 14% (n = 7) of the patients. No conversions occurred. The median length of hospital stay was 4 days. CONCLUSION This study presented the results after minimally invasive SPDP with intended vessel preservation by a highly experienced pancreatic surgeon. It provided tips and tricks to successfully accomplish a minimally invasive SPDP, which can contribute to quick patient rehabilitation and optimal postoperative results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare surgical and oncological outcomes after minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) versus open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) for distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA). BACKGROUND A dCCA might be a good indication for MIPD, as it is often diagnosed as primary resectable disease. However, multicenter series on MIPD for dCCA are lacking. METHODS This is an international multicenter propensity score-matched cohort study including patients after MIPD or OPD for dCCA in 8 centers from 5 countries (2010-2021). Primary outcomes included overall survival (OS) and disease-free interval (DFI). Secondary outcomes included perioperative and postoperative complications and predictors for OS or DFI. Subgroup analyses included robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) and laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD). RESULTS Overall, 478 patients after pancreatoduodenectomy for dCCA were included of which 97 after MIPD (37 RPD, 60 LPD) and 381 after OPD. MIPD was associated with less blood loss (300 vs 420 mL, P =0.025), longer operation time (453 vs 340 min; P <0.001), and less surgical site infections (7.8% vs 19.3%; P =0.042) compared with OPD. The median OS (30 vs 25 mo) and DFI (29 vs 18) for MIPD did not differ significantly between MIPD and OPD. Tumor stage (Hazard ratio: 2.939, P <0.001) and administration of adjuvant chemotherapy (Hazard ratio: 0.640, P =0.033) were individual predictors for OS. RPD was associated with a higher lymph node yield (18.0 vs 13.5; P =0.008) and less major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo 3b-5; 8.1% vs 32.1%; P =0.005) compared with LPD. DISCUSSION Both surgical and oncological outcomes of MIPD for dCCA are acceptable as compared with OPD. Surgical outcomes seem to favor RPD as compared with LPD but more data are needed. Randomized controlled trials should be performed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies on minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) combine patients with pancreatic and periampullary cancers even though there is substantial heterogeneity between these tumors. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the role of MIPD compared to open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) in patients with non-pancreatic periampullary cancer (NPPC). METHODS A systematic review of Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed by two independent reviewers to identify studies comparing MIPD and OPD for NPPC (ampullary, distal cholangio, and duodenal adenocarcinoma) (01/2015-12/2021). Individual patient data were required from all identified studies. Primary outcomes were (90-day) mortality, and major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo 3a-5). Secondary outcomes were postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), delayed gastric emptying (DGE), postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH), blood-loss, length of hospital stay (LOS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Overall, 16 studies with 1949 patients were included, combining 928 patients with ampullary, 526 with distal cholangio, and 461 with duodenal cancer. In total, 902 (46.3%) patients underwent MIPD, and 1047 (53.7%) patients underwent OPD. The rates of 90-day mortality, major morbidity, POPF, DGE, PPH, blood-loss, and length of hospital stay did not differ between MIPD and OPD. Operation time was 67 min longer in the MIPD group (P = 0.009). A decrease in DFS for ampullary (HR 2.27, P = 0.019) and distal cholangio (HR 1.84, P = 0.025) cancer, as well as a decrease in OS for distal cholangio (HR 1.71, P = 0.045) and duodenal cancer (HR 4.59, P < 0.001) was found in the MIPD group. CONCLUSIONS This individual patient data meta-analysis of MIPD versus OPD in patients with NPPC suggests that MIPD is not inferior in terms of short-term morbidity and mortality. Several major limitations in long-term data highlight a research gap that should be studied in prospective maintained international registries or randomized studies for ampullary, distal cholangio, and duodenum cancer separately.

Abstract
Introduction Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex procedure with a significant proportion of postoperative complications and improving but notable mortality. PD was the prototype procedure that initiated the lingering debate about the relationship of better operative outcomes when performed at higher-volume centers. This has not translated into practice. Impediments include the absence of a universally accepted definition of a high-volume center among others. Contrary evidence suggests equivalent outcomes for PD at low-volume centers when performed by experienced hepatobiliary surgeons. We reviewed our perioperative outcomes for PD from an earlier period as a low-volume center with an experienced team. Methods A longitudinal study of all PDs completed in our department between 2012 and 2017 was performed. Results A total of 28 PD were performed during this period. Pylorus-preserving PD was performed in 23 patients and classical PD in the remaining. A separate Roux-en-Y loop was used for high-risk pancreatic anastomosis in six cases. The mean patient age was 49.3±12.4 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1.3:1. Preoperative drainage procedures were carried out in 19 patients. The mean serum total bilirubin level was 3.98(±4.5) mg/dL. There was no 90-day mortality. Postoperative complications included wound infection in 10 (36.7%) and respiratory complications in 10 (36.7%) patients. Postoperative bleeding requiring intervention occurred in one patient, and two patients had an anastomotic leak (one pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) and one gastrojejunostomy (GJ)). Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) was noted in three (10.7%) patients. The mean length of hospital stay was 14±7 days. The median overall survival (OS) was 84 months. Conclusion Comparable early outcomes can be achieved at low-volume centers for patients undergoing PD with an experienced team, optimal patient selection, and the ability to rescue for complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assessment of minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is scarce and limited to non-randomized studies. This study aimed to compare oncological and surgical outcomes after MIPD compared to open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) for patients after resectable PDAC from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS A systematic review was performed to identify RCTs comparing MIPD and OPD including PDAC (Jan 2015-July 2021). Individual data of patients with PDAC were requested. Primary outcomes were R0 rate and lymph node yield. Secondary outcomes were blood-loss, operation time, major complications, hospital stay and 90-day mortality. RESULTS Overall, 4 RCTs (all addressed laparoscopic MIPD) with 275 patients with PDAC were included. In total, 128 patients underwent laparoscopic MIPD and 147 patients underwent OPD. The R0 rate (risk difference(RD) -1%, P = 0.740) and lymph node yield (mean difference(MD) +1.55, P = 0.305) were comparable between laparoscopic MIPD and OPD. Laparoscopic MIPD was associated with less perioperative blood-loss (MD -91ml, P = 0.026), shorter length of hospital stay (MD -3.8 days, P = 0.044), while operation time was longer (MD +98.5 min, P = 0.003). Major complications (RD -11%, P = 0.302) and 90-day mortality (RD -2%, P = 0.328) were comparable between laparoscopic MIPD and OPD. CONCLUSIONS This individual patient data meta-analysis of MIPD versus OPD in patients with resectable PDAC suggests that laparoscopic MIPD is non-inferior regarding radicality, lymph node yield, major complications and 90-day mortality and is associated with less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and longer operation time. The impact on long-term survival and recurrence should be studied in RCTs including robotic MIPD.

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 Perioperative fluid management during major abdominal surgery has been controversial. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a critical complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We conducted a retrospective cohort study to analyze the impact of intraoperative fluid balance on the development of POPF. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 567 patients who underwent open pancreaticoduodenectomy, and the demographic, laboratory, and medical data were recorded. All patients were categorized into four groups according to quartiles of intraoperative fluid balance. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCSs) were used to analyze the relationship between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF. RESULTS The intraoperative fluid balance of all patients ranged from -8.47 to 13.56 mL/kg/h. A total of 108 patients reported POPF, and the incidence was 19.0%. After adjusting for potential confounders and using restricted cubic splines, the dose‒response relationship between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF was found to be statistically insignificant. The incidences of bile leakage, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, and delayed gastric emptying were 4.4%, 20.8%, and 14.8%, respectively. Intraoperative fluid balance was not associated with these abdominal complications. BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, preoperative blood glucose < 6 mmol/L, long surgery time, and lesions not located in the pancreas were independent risk factors for POPF. CONCLUSION The study did not find a significant association between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF. Well-designed multicenter studies are necessary to explore the association between intraoperative fluid balance and POPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transduodenal ampullectomy has been attempted in ampullary tumors, including early ampullary cancer. However, the indication and extent of transduodenal ampullectomy with curative intent remain controversial. Herein, we address the perioperative and long-term outcomes of patients with early ampullary cancer who underwent transduodenal ampullectomy at a single center. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 10 early ampullary cancer patients who underwent transduodenal ampullectomy and 11 early ampullary cancer patients who underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy at Saitama Cancer Center between October 2008 and May 2021. Among this cohort, we analyzed the perioperative outcomes and long-term outcomes. RESULTS In terms of the perioperative outcomes between the transduodenal ampullectomy and subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy groups, the transduodenal ampullectomy group exhibited a shorter operating time (244 minutes vs 390 minutes, P = .003), less intraoperative blood loss (67.5 grams vs 774 grams, P = .006) and shorter length of postoperative hospital stay (15 days vs 33 days). With respect to the postoperative nutrition status, the transduodenal ampullectomy group exhibited less postoperative weight loss (0.67% vs 8.95%, P = .021), a better Controlling Nutritional Status score (1.0 vs 2.1, P = .011) and a better Prognostic Nutritional Index score (42.9 vs 40.9, P = .018). The 5-year survival in the adenoma with high-grade dysplasia and T1 ampullary cancer which invaded the mucosal layer groups was 100%, whereas the median survival time in the T1 ampullary cancer which invaded the sphincter of Oddi group was 20.7 months (P = .0028). CONCLUSION Transduodenal ampullectomy is assumed to be a feasible and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of selected patients with early ampullary cancer, including patients with adenoma with high-grade dysplasia or T1 ampullary cancer which invaded the mucosal layer ampullary cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreaticojejunostomy stricture (PJS) is an uncommon late complication of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). The incidence, clinical characteristics, and managements of PJS after LPD are still unreported. METHODS All patients undergoing LPD between January 2015 and December 2019 were identified from an institutional database. All pancreaticojejunostomies were performed using Bing's duct-to-mucosa anastomosis. PJS was diagnosed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography with secretin administration. Re-operation was performed in those patients with persistent abdominal pain and/or recurrent pancreatitis. Patients' demographic characteristics, perioperative outcomes, and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively collected. RESULTS During the 5-year study period, 506 cases of LPD were performed. Among these patients, 13 patients (2.6%) were diagnosed with PJS. Only seven patients presented with abdominal pain and/or recurrent pancreatitis and underwent re-operation. The interval between the diagnosis of PJS and the original operation was 23 months. The median operative time was 140 min (range 90 to 210 min). The estimated blood loss was 40 ml (range 10 to 100 ml). The post-operative outcomes were favorable. Only one patient suffered from biochemical fistula. Six of these 7 patients (85.7%) reported complete pain resolution after the re-operation. The other patient reported partial resolution after surgery. All patients did not need to take analgesic drugs after the operation. CONCLUSION PJS following LPD is a late complication that was underestimated. It is technically safe and clinically effective to perform laparoscopic revision of the PJS after LPD.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to analyze the predictive value of hyperamylasemia after pancreatectomy for morbidity and for the decision to perform rescue completion pancreatectomy (CP) in a retrospective cohort study. METHODS Data were extracted from a retrospective clinical database. Postoperative hyperamylasemia (POH) and postoperative hyperlipasemia (POHL) were defined by values greater than those accepted as the upper limit at our institution on postoperative day 1 (POD1). The endpoints of the study were the association of POH with postoperative morbidity and the possible predictors for postpancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) and severe complications such as the necessity for rescue CP. RESULTS We analyzed 437 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy over a period of 7 years. Among them, 219 (52.3%) patients had POH and 200 (47.7%) had normal postoperative amylase (non-POH) levels. A soft pancreatic texture (odds ratio [OR] 3.86) and POH on POD1 (OR 8.2) were independent predictors of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), and POH on POD1 (OR 6.38) was an independent predictor of rescue CP. The clinically relevant POPF (49.5% vs. 11.4%, p < 0.001), intraabdominal abscess (38.3% vs. 15.3%, p < 0.001), postoperative hemorrhage (22.8% vs. 5.1%, p < 0.001), major complications (Clavien-Dindo classification > 2) (52.5% vs. 25.6%, p < 0.001), and CP (13% vs. 1.8%, p < 0.001) occurred significantly more often in the POH group than in the non-POH group. CONCLUSION Although POH on POD1 occurs frequently, in addition to other risk factors, it has a predictive value for the development of postoperative morbidity associated with PPAP and CP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by irreversible morphological changes due to chronic pancreatic fibrosis. The treatment goals are to relieve pain, preserve function, and prevent further pathological consequences. Endoscopic treatment, surgery, or both are options for untreatable pain or suspected malignancy. Frey procedure is a reasonable surgical intervention because of its hybrid character, combining resection and drainage. Unfortunately, there is limited information about the outcomes of this procedure in Latin America, and few cases described in Colombia. This study aims to describe the experience of a pancreatic surgery reference center in the management of patients undergoing Frey's surgery for chronic pancreatitis. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of patients who underwent a Frey procedure due to chronic pancreatitis between January 2014 to February 2022 in a hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, was made. A demographic, clinical, and postoperative outcome description was performed. Mann-Whitney Willcoxon test was performed between operative variables and long-term outcomes. RESULTS Eighteen patients met the inclusion criteria. 55.5% of patients were male. Chronic pancreatitis etiology in most cases (83.3% n = 15) was idiopathic. The median duration of symptoms and chronic pancreatitis diagnosis before surgery was 6.15 months (IQR 5;97). Overall morbidity was 38.88%. One patient died at 30 days of follow-up. The median follow-up time was 42.5 (IQR 19;65 months). The median pain reduction was 3 points according to the visual analog score. Six patients were diagnosed with malignant conditions after surgery (mean 27.8 ± 7.5 months). Wirsung's duct size was statistically related with malignancy presentation after Frey's procedure (Z = 2.54; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION According to our data, Frey's procedure remains safe and feasible, with acceptable outcomes in terms of pain relief and pancreatic function. The study confirms the importance of a longstanding follow-up due to an inherent risk of pancreatic malignancy. Our data suggest that pancreatic duct size could be related with the malignancy diagnosis after Frey's procedure; however, further prospective studies with a larger sample size would be helpful to confirm these results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is frequent after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Although often associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula, the precise pathogenesis in patients with no underlying complications remains unclear. There is evidence to suggest that, after surgery, aberrant electrical pathways are formed in the stomach which could contribute to the development of DGE.Gastric Alimetry is a novel technology which measures the electrical activity of the stomach non-invasively using an array of electrodes applied to the skin of the abdomen. This technique, termed body surface gastric mapping (BSGM), has been validated in normal controls and in patients with functional dyspepsia syndromes. This study will investigate the efficacy and feasibility of using BSGM to assess gastric motility in patients who undergo PD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This prospective cohort study will be conducted at a single large volume hepatobiliary unit in the UK. 50 patients who are planned to undergo PD will be included. BSGM measurement will be performed at four timepoints viz: preoperatively, day 4 postoperatively, at discharge and 6 months postoperatively. Key parameters of BSGM measurement, including wave amplitude, frequency and directional vector, will be measured at each timepoint and compared between different patient subgroups. Symptoms will be self-reported by patients during the recording using an iPad application designed for this purpose. Quality of life and patient experience will be assessed using standardised questionnaires at the end of the follow-up period. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol has been approved by the research ethics committees of Newcastle University and the Health Research Authority (HRA) of the UK (ethical approval IRAS ID 305302). Findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This study will automatically be registered with the ISRCTN registry by the HRA as part of the ethics approval process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several variables have been described as prognostic factors for resected distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCC), including lymph node metastases (N status) and lymph node ratio (LNR). The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of LNR on survival and to establish a novel prognostic nomogram to predict the cancer-specific recurrence-free survival (RFS) of dCC. STUDY DESIGN Between December 2006 and September 2020, 415 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for dCC in 10 centers were identified. Multivariate Cox analysis was used to identify all independent risk factors among several prognostic factors. A nomogram was then developed and assessed by integrating the independent prognostic factors into the model, and the concordance index (C-index) was used to evaluate its performance. RESULTS According to Cox regression multivariate analysis, a nomogram based on independent prognostic factor for RFS was performed including LNR 15 (hazard ratio [HR] 2.442, 95% CI 1.348-4.425, p = 0.003), perineural invasion (HR 3.100, 95% CI 1.183-8.122, p = 0.025), differentiation grade (HR 2.100, 95% CI 1.172-4.143, p = 0.021), and radicality of PD (HR 2.276, 95% CI 1.223-4.234, p = 0.009). The C-index of the nomogram, tailored based on the previous significant factors, was 0.8. CONCLUSIONS LNR15 yields a high prognostic efficiency for RFS. The nomogram based on LNR can provide an accurate prognosis assessment for patients with resected dCC.

Abstract
A rare pathology, the solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) of the pancreas accounts for approximately 1% of pancreatic neoplasms. Initially called ‘Frantz’s tumour’, it has now been renamed to SPEN by the World Health Organization (WHO). This tumour has a predilection for females and a good prognosis with surgical excision being the treatment of choice. Palpable abdominal masses in children are of significant clinical importance. Identifying cystic lesions in the pancreas from CT or MRI scans always warrant further investigations. Primary pancreatic neoplasms account for 0.1% of pancreatic tumours in the paediatric population; an extremely rare circumstance constituting a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to surgeons. This article comprises two paediatric cases of SPEN in 14- and 11-year-old females, respectively, and a literature review on current management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Perioperative morbidity after pancreatoduodenectomies is still high. One potentially responsible factor is the insertion of bile duct stents before surgery. In our single-center study, we evaluated the influence of preoperative bile duct stenting combined with perioperative antibiotic therapy versus primary surgery in carcinoma patients. METHODS Clinical data of 973 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy at the University Hospital Freiburg from 2002 to 2018 were explored retrospectively. Postoperative pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying (DGE), and postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) were graded by current international definitions. Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or periampullary carcinoma were included. RESULTS We included 634 patients of whom 372 (58.7%) were treated with preoperative bile duct stenting. No difference concerning postoperative pancreatic fistula was observed (P = 0.479). We found more wound infections (stent 18.4%, no stent 11.1%, P = 0.008) but a significantly lower rate of PPH and DGE in stented patients (PPH 7.5% vs 11.9%, P = 0.044; DGE 16.5% vs 22.5%, P = 0.039). Surprisingly, intra-abdominal abscesses were reduced in stented patients (9.4% vs 15.0%, P = 0.022), just as insufficiencies of the biliodigestive anastomosis (P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS Perioperative antibiotic therapy seems to reduce the risk for severe intra-abdominal infectious complications in stent-bearing patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle attenuation (MA) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) have not yet been included in the currently used alternative Fistula Risk Score (a-FRS). The aim of this study was to examine the added value of these parameters as predictors of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) in the a-FRS after pancreatoduodenectomy compared to Body Mass Index (BMI). METHODS A single center retrospective cohort study was performed in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy between 2009 and 2018. The a-FRS model was reproduced, MA and VAT were both combined and separately added to the model instead of BMI using logistic regression analysis. Model discrimination was assessed by ROC-curves. RESULTS In total, 329 patients were included of which 55 (16.7%) developed CR-POPF. The a-FRS model showed an AUC of 0.74 (95%CI: 0.68-0.80). In this model, BMI was not significantly associated with CR-POPF (p = 0.16). The MA + VAT model showed an AUC of 0.81 (95%CI: 0.75-0.86). VAT was significantly associated with CR-POPF (per cm2, OR: 1.01; 95%CI: 1.00-1.01; p < 0.001). The AUC of the MA + VAT model differed significantly from the AUC of the a-FRS model (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Visceral adipose tissue is of added value in the a-FRS compared to BMI in predicting CR-POPF in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pre-adjuvant chemotherapy (PAC) status of postoperative pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients has not been studied and elaborated well previously. METHOD The association of PAC variables and prognoses was explored using a multivariable Cox model, restricted cubic spline analysis, and correlation analysis. The main outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary outcome was chemotherapy completeness (CHC). RESULTS A total of 401 eligible patients were enrolled in sequential surgery and chemotherapy. The chemotherapy regimen, PAC fasting blood glucose (FBG), and elevated fasting blood glucose (eFBG) status were associated with CHC (regimen types: p = 0.005, continuous FBG: p = 0.014, eFBG status: p = 0.012). Early administration of adjuvant chemotherapy (<34 days) was a risk factor for the limited OS and PFS (OS: aHR: 1.61 [1.09-2.38], p = 0.016; PFS: aHR: 1.91 [1.29-2.82], p = 0.001). Patients with higher PAC body mass index (BMI), receiving Gemcap regimen, and with lower PAC tumor marker value were observed with better survival prognoses (PAC BMI: OS: 0.927 [0.875-0.983], p = 0.011; Gemcap: OS: 0.533 [0.312-0.913], p = 0.022; Gemcap: PFS: 0.560 [0.341-0.922], p = 0.023; PAC CA125: OS: 1.004 [1.002-1.006], p < 0.001; PAC CA125: PFS: 1.003 [1.000-1.005], p = 0.031; PAC CEA: OS: 1.050 [1.026-1.074], p < 0.001). The BMI decrease was mainly concentrated in the first 3 months of chemotherapy courses (first 3 months: p < 0.001; latter 3 months: p = 0.097). And CEA, compared to CA125 and CA199, was a better prognostic indicator (CEA: first 3 months: PFS p = 0.011, OS p < 0.001; latter 3 months: PFS p = 0.024, OS p = 0.041). CONCLUSION PDAC patients should be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy over 34 postoperative days. PAC sarcopenia was a risk factor for OS, but not PFS and limited CHC. Those with higher PAC FBG levels were more likely to finish chemotherapy. CEA, compared to CA125 and CA199, was a better prognostic indicator.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Roughly 10% - 20% of pancreatic cancer patients are candidates for curative intent surgical treatment. In the 2000s, many studies showed similar survival rates comparing pancreatic surgery with or without vein resection and reconstruction. The aim was to identify the best method of venous reconstruction. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 1 375 patients undergoing pancreatectomy between 2005 and 2018 were identified. Patients undergoing a combined pancreatic resection and venous reconstruction were included retrospectively. When tumour infiltration to the portal/superior mesenteric vein was detected, excision and reconstruction with tangential suturing/patch, end to end anastomosis, or a spiral graft from the great saphenous vein was performed. Next, 90 day and long term survival and outcomes across reconstruction techniques were analysed. RESULTS Overall, 198 patients had venous involvement visible in pre-operative scans or detected during surgery, broken down as follows: 171 (86%) pancreaticoduodenectomy, 12 (6%) total pancreatectomy, and 15 (8%) distal pancreatectomy. In total, 69 (35%) spiral graft reconstructions, 77 (39%) end to end anastomoses, and 52 (26%) tangential/patch reconstructions were performed. Tumour histology revealed pancreatic adenocarcinomas in 162 (82%) patients, intraductal mucinous pancreatic neoplasia in 14 (7%), cholangiocarcinoma in five (3%), neuro-endocrine neoplasia in nine (5%), and eight other diagnoses. Overall, 183 (92%) were malignant and 15 (8%) benign. Two patients died within 90 days, one in hospital and one on post-operative day 38 due to thrombosis of the superior mesenteric vein and intestinal necrosis, a Clavien-Dindo grade 5 complication. In addition, 50 (23%) patients had Clavien-Dindo grade 3 - 4 complications. No differences in complications comparing vein reconstruction techniques or in the long term survival of pancreatectomy patients with or without venous reconstruction were detected. CONCLUSION The spiral graft technique, used when more advanced venous infiltration occurs, does not increase complications, with outcomes mirroring those accompanying shorter venous resections.

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

Abstract
PURPOSE Sarcopenia is common in pancreatic cancer patients. Considering the growing adoption of standardized protocols for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), we examined the clinical impact of sarcopenia in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) patients in a 5-day accelerated ERAS program, termed the Whipple Accelerated Recovery Pathway. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of patients undergoing PD from 2017 through 2020 on the ERAS pathway. Preoperative computerized tomographic scans taken within 45 days before surgery were analyzed to determine psoas muscle cross-sectional area (PMA) at the third lumbar vertebral body. Sarcopenia was defined as the lowest quartile of PMA respective to gender. Outcome measures were compared between patients with or without sarcopenia. RESULTS In this 333-patient cohort, 252 (75.7%) patients had final pathology revealing pancreatic or periampullary cancer. The median age was 66.7 years (16.4-88.4 years) with a 161:172 male to female ratio. Sarcopenia correlated with delayed tolerance of oral intake (OR 2.2; 95%CI 1.1-4.3, P = 0.03), increased complication rates (OR 4.3; 95%CI 2.2-8.5, P < 0.01), and longer hospital length of stay (LOS) (P < 0.05). Preoperative albumin levels, BMI, and history of pancreatitis were also found to correlate with LOS (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis found low PMA, BMI, and male gender to be independent predictors of increased LOS (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Sarcopenia correlated with increased LOS and postoperative complications in ERAS patients after PD. Sarcopenia can be used to predict poor candidates for ERAS protocols who may require an alternative recovery protocol, promoting a clinical tier-based approach to ERAS for pancreatic surgery.

Abstract
Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) is a common severe surgical complication after pancreatic surgery. Current risk stratification systems mostly rely on intraoperatively assessed factors like manually determined gland texture or blood loss. We developed a preoperatively available image-based risk score predicting CR-POPF as a complication of pancreatic head resection. Frequency of CR-POPF and occurrence of salvage completion pancreatectomy during the hospital stay were associated with an intraoperative surgical (sFRS) and image-based preoperative CT-based (rFRS) fistula risk score, both considering pancreatic gland texture, pancreatic duct diameter and pathology, in 195 patients undergoing pancreatic head resection. Based on its association with fistula-related outcome, radiologically estimated pancreatic remnant volume was included in a preoperative (preFRS) score for POPF risk stratification. Intraoperatively assessed pancreatic duct diameter (p < 0.001), gland texture (p < 0.001) and high-risk pathology (p < 0.001) as well as radiographically determined pancreatic duct diameter (p < 0.001), gland texture (p < 0.001), high-risk pathology (p = 0.001), and estimated pancreatic remnant volume (p < 0.001) correlated with the risk of CR-POPF development. PreFRS predicted the risk of CR-POPF development (AUC = 0.83) and correlated with the risk of rescue completion pancreatectomy. In summary, preFRS facilitates preoperative POPF risk stratification in patients undergoing pancreatic head resection, enabling individualized therapeutic approaches and optimized perioperative management.

Abstract
Purpose Despite the many efforts to overcome postoperative complications, pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still accompanied with considerable concerns of lethal complications. The clinical factors are known to affect postoperative outcomes such as diameter of pancreatic duct, texture of pancreas, and comorbidity of the patients are mostly uncorrectable. Thus, investigation for correctable risk factors is required. Recently, perioperative fluid volume was reported to be associated with complications after PD. This study aims to determine the relationship between postoperative fluid balance and surgical outcome after open PD. Methods We reviewed, retrospectively, 172 consecutive patients who underwent open PD in a single institution between 2015 and 2019. The status of perioperative fluid balance 2 days after surgery and clinical factors were investigated to determine the association with postoperative outcome including postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). According to postoperative fluid balance, patients were divided into high- and low-balance groups, and clinical features and surgical outcomes were compared between both groups. Multivariate analysis were performed to identify risk factors for POPF. Results The percentage of morbidity and the incidence of POPF were higher in the high-balance group compared to the low-balance group (61.6% vs. 37.2%, P = 0.001; 15.1% vs. 3.5%, P = 0.009). High postoperative fluid balance and the presence cardiovascular disease were correlated with POPF on multivariate analysis (odds ratio [OR], 4.574; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.229–17.029; P = 0.023 and OR, 3.517; 95% CI, 1.209–12.017; P = 0.045). Conclusion Higher amount of postoperative fluid balance and the presence of cardiovascular disease are associated with POPF after PD.

Abstract
Purpose The incidence of patients requiring pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) following any type of gastrectomy is increasing as the population of elderly patients is increasing, especially in endemic areas of gastric cancer such as Korea. All types of gastrectomy can be categorized as subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth I (BI), Billroth II (BII), and total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y anastomosis. In this paper, we reviewed our experiences of PD for patients who previously underwent gastrectomy. Methods We reviewed the medical records of the patients who underwent PD following any type of gastrectomy among 505 consecutive patients who underwent PD in a single institution between 2011 and 2020 retrospectively. Results There were 13 patients who had undergone gastrectomy including 7 patients of BI, 1 patient of BII, and 5 patients of total gastrectomy. For all 7 patients of BI, the reconstruction was not different from conventional PD. For the 1 patient of BII, previous gastrojejunal anastomosis was preserved and reconstruction was performed in Roux-en-Y method. For the 5 patients with total gastrectomy, 2 different types of reconstruction were performed. In one patient, we removed the remaining jejunum with the specimen, and reconstruction was performed. For the other 4 patients, the remaining jejunum, distal to the Treitz ligament, was preserved and was utilized for anastomosis. Surgeries for all patients were uneventful. Conclusion PD following any type of gastrectomy can be safe. Especially, if the length of remained jejunum is long enough, its utilization for the reconstruction can be an appropriate option.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the results of diagnosis and treatment of true splenic artery aneurysms. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed the results of diagnosis and treatment of 27 patients with true splenic artery aneurysm. All ones underwent surgical treatment at the Botkin Municipal Clinical Hospital between 2017 and 2021. Splenic artery aneurysm >1 cm was an indication for surgical treatment. Surgical option depended on aneurysm location. Laparoscopic splenectomy and aneurysmectomy were performed in 4 cases (14.8%), 5 (18.5%) patients underwent endovascular intervention, laparoscopic clipping was performed in 18 (66.7%) cases. Methods of surgical treatment, general and specific postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo and ISGPS classifications were analyzed. RESULTS Laparoscopic clipping was accompanied by fewer general and specific postoperative complications. Specific complications after laparoscopic splenectomy occurred in 2 patients (BL according to the ISGPS 2016 classification). There was one case of acute pancreatitis after endovascular interventions. In long-term postoperative period, aneurysm recanalization after endovascular intervention was observed in 1 case. CONCLUSION Surgical treatment of splenic artery aneurysms requires a differentiated approach based on topographic and anatomical assessment of aneurysm relative to the arterial vessel.

Abstract
The impact of tumor location on patient survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains controversial. This study investigated the association between primary tumor location and survival rates for resectable PDAC. Additionally, we assessed if this association remains consistent across categories of the Tumor-Node-Metastasis staging system. We analyzed 2471 patients who underwent surgical resection between 2000 and 2018 at a single center. Subgroup analysis was performed according to the Tumor-Node-Metastasis staging system. Among the group, 67.9% (1677 patients) had pancreatic head cancer (PHC) and 32.1% (794 patients) had pancreatic body/tail cancer (PBTC). Patients with PHC had worse overall survival and worse disease-free survival than those with PBTC. Patients with PHC had worse survival in stage IB and stage IIB than those with PBTC. No significant difference was observed for stages IA, IIA, and III. Multivariate analysis showed that elevated CA 19-9, mGPS, a longer hospital stay, complication, accompanying vein resection, larger tumor size, worse differentiation, higher TNM stage (stage IIB, III, IV), presence of LVI, and positive resection margin were risk factors for poor survival after resection. In resectable PDAC, patients with PHC had worse overall and disease-free survival than those with PBTC. However, tumor location was not an independent prognostic factor for PDAC.

Abstract
Introduction: Malignant tumors are associated with a low incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas. The presence of peritumoral fibrosis is considered the protective factor for the development of postoperative pancreatic fistulas after pancreatic resections for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. Methods: We analyzed a series of 109 consecutive patients with pancreatic resections for malignant pathology: pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and periampullary adenocarcinomas. The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas has been reported in tumor histological type, in the presence of peritumoral fibrosis, and in the association between adenocarcinomas and areas of acute pancreatitis. The data obtained were processed with the statistical analysis program SPSS, and statistically significant p were considered at a value <0.05. Results: For the entire study group, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas was 11.01%. The lowest incidence was observed in the group of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (4.06% vs. 25.72% in the group with periampullary adenocarcinoma), with a p = 0.002. The presence of peritumoral fibrous tissue was observed in 49.31% of cases without pancreatic fistulas, and in 54.54% of cases that developed this postoperative complication (p = 0.5). Also, the peritumoral fibrous tissue had a uniform distribution depending on the main diagnosis (56.14% in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma group vs. 37.04% in periampullary adenocarcinoma group, with a p = 0.08). In the group of patients who associated areas of acute pancreatitis on the resections, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas was 7.8 times higher (30% vs. 3.8%, p = 0.026). Conclusions: Peritumoral fibrous tissue was not a factor involved in the developing of postoperative pancreatic fistulas. The association of adenocarciomas with areas of acute pancreatitis has led to a significant increase in postoperative pancreatic fistulas, which is a significant and independent risk factor.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate efficacy and patency status of stent graft implantation in the treatment of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis of patients who had undergone endovascular treatment of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms between 2011 and 2020 was performed. Medical records were examined to obtain patients’ surgical histories and to screen for active bleeding. Angiographic data on vascular access, target vessel, material used and technical success, defined as the exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm by means of a stent graft with sufficient control of bleeding, were collected. Vessel patency at follow-up CT was analyzed and classified as short-term (< 6 weeks), mid-term (between 6 weeks and 1 year), and long-term patency (> 1 year). In case of stent occlusion, collateralization and signs of hepatic hypoperfusion were examined. Results In total, 30 patients were included and of these, 25 and 5 had undergone stent graft implantation and coiling, respectively. In patients with implanted stent grafts, technical success was achieved in 23/25 patients (92%). Follow-up CT scans were available in 16 patients, showing stent graft patency in 9/16 patients (56%). Short-term, mid-term, and long-term short-term stent patency was found in 81% (13/16), 40% (4/10), and 50% (2/4). In patients with stent graft occlusion, 86% (6/7) exhibited maintenance of arterial liver perfusion via collaterals and 14% (1/7) exhibited liver abscess during follow-up. Conclusion Stent graft provides an effective treatment for hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms. Even though patency rates decreased as a function of time, stent occlusion was mainly asymptomatic due to sufficient collateralization.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Multivisceral resection is the standard treatment for retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) during which pancreas resection may be necessary. METHODS All consecutive patients operated for RPS with pancreatectomy in 2 expert centers between 1993 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Fifty patients (median age: 57 years, IQR: [46-65]) with a primary (n = 33) or recurrent (n = 17) RPS underwent surgery requiring pancreas resection (distal pancreatectomy (DP) (n = 43), pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) (n = 5), central pancreatectomy (n = 1), and atypical resection (n = 1)). Severe postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo III-IV) was observed in 14 patients (28%), and 7 of them (14%) required reoperation for anastomotic bowel leakage (n = 5), gastric volvulus (n = 1), or hemorrhage (n = 1). Pancreas-related complications occurred in 25 patients (50%): 10 postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPF) (grade A (n = 12), grade B (n = 6), grade C (n = 1)), 13 delayed gastric emptying (grade A (n = 8), grade B (n = 4), grade C (n = 1)), 1 hemorrhage (grade C). Postoperative mortality was 4% (n = 2), all following PD, caused by a massive intraoperative air embolism and by a multiple organ failure after anastomotic leakage. Pathological analysis confirmed pancreatic involvement in 17 (34%) specimens. Microscopically complete resection (R0) was achieved in 22 (44%) patients. After a follow-up of 60 months, 36 patients (75%) were still alive, among whom 27 without recurrence (56%). CONCLUSION Pancreatic resection during RPS surgery is associated with significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. PD should be avoided whenever possible while other procedures seemed achievable without excessive morbidity and with long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative surgical site infection is a major source of morbidity after pancreatic head resections, and data suggest bacterobilia as a leading cause. Some centers use intraoperative bile duct cultures to guide postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. This prospective study evaluates culture differences between traditional bile duct swab versus bile duct aspiration intraoperative samples. METHODS Prospective patients undergoing pancreatic head resection with both bile duct swab and bile duct aspiration were included. Cultures were reviewed for organism characteristics. Any growth of organisms was considered a positive culture. Bile duct swab yield and characteristics were compared with bile duct aspiration. Postoperative surgical site infection complications were compared to bile duct culture results. RESULTS Fifty patients were included. Bile duct aspiration resulted in a significantly higher median number of organisms compared to bile duct swab (6 vs 3; P < .001). There were no differences in the number of patients (37 vs 33) having positive bile duct aspiration and bile duct swab cultures (P = .385). Anaerobic cultures (not possible with bile duct swab) were positive in 21 patients with bile duct aspiration. A total of 37 (74%) patients had preoperative biliary stenting, which highly associated (P < .001) with positive cultures. Bile duct culture organisms correlated with postoperative surgical site infection in 12/17 (71%) patients. CONCLUSION Use of bile duct aspiration improves intraoperative bile duct culture organism yield over bile duct swab and may improve tailoring of antibiotics in patients undergoing pancreatic head resection.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Morbidity following Whipple’s surgery largely depends upon the pancreatic stump anastomosis leak. Pancreaticogastrostomy is one of the techniques of pancreatic stump reconstruction and is described variously in the literature. Duct to mucosa pancreaticogastrostomy is described either by a large 3-4 cm posterior gastrotomy or by small gastrotomy of 2-3 mm with the use of internal stents along with. We describe clinical outcomes and technique of 2 layer end to side pancreatico-gastrostomy by a small posterior gastrotomy without the use of internal stents. Methods Hospital records of 35 patients where the technique of, small posterior gastrotomy end to side duct to mucosa pancreatico-gastrostomy without internal stents, was used for pancreatic stump reconstruction were studied retrospectively. The data were analyzed for demographic details, stage of the disease, and short term outcomes related to surgical procedure. Results The mean duration of surgery was 7.4 hours. Grade A, B, and C POPF were observed in 10 (28.5%), 3 (8.5%), and 1 (2.8%) of patients respectively. The mean time to remove pancreatic drain was 9 days, and the mean time to start oral feeds was 8.9 days. The mean hospital stay was 12.9 days (07-26). Thirty days mortality was 2.8%. Conclusions Unstented duct to mucosa end to side pancreatico-gastrostomy technique is comparable with other pancreatico-gastrostomy techniques in outcomes in terms of POPF, morbidity, mortality, and hospital stay. However, to establish the superiority or inferiority of this technique, a larger study is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although arterial hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is not frequent, it is fatal. Arterial hemorrhage is caused by pseudoaneurysm rupture, and the gastroduodenal artery stump and hepatic artery (HA) are frequent culprit vessels. Diagnostic procedures and imaging modalities are associated with certain difficulties. Simultaneous accomplishment of complete hemostasis and HA flow preservation is difficult after PD. Although complete hemostasis may be obtained by endovascular treatment (EVT) or surgery, liver infarction caused by hepatic ischemia and/or liver abscesses caused by biliary ischemia may occur. We herein discuss therapeutic options for fatal arterial hemorrhage after PD.
AIM To present our data here along with a discussion of therapeutic strategies for fatal arterial hemorrhage after PD.
METHODS We retrospectively investigated 16 patients who developed arterial hemorrhage after PD. The patients’ clinical characteristics, diagnostic procedures, actual treatments [transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), stent-graft placement, or surgery], clinical courses, and outcomes were evaluated.
RESULTS The frequency of arterial hemorrhage after PD was 5.5%. Pancreatic leakage was observed in 12 patients. The onset of hemorrhage occurred at a median of 18 d after PD. Sentinel bleeding was observed in five patients. The initial EVT procedures were stent-graft placement in seven patients, TAE in six patients, and combined therapy in two patients. The rate of technical success of the initial EVT was 75.0%, and additional EVTs were performed in four patients. Surgical approaches including arterioportal shunting were performed in eight patients. Liver infarction was observed in two patients after TAE. Two patients showed a poor outcome even after successful EVT. These four patients with poor clinical courses and outcomes had a poor clinical condition before EVT. Fourteen patients were successfully treated.
CONCLUSION Transcatheter placement of a covered stent may be useful for simultaneous accomplishment of complete hemostasis and HA flow preservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is the main complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), but the mechanism is still unclear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of complete resection of the gastric antrum in decreasing incidence and severity of DGE after PD. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: expanded resection (ER group), complete resection (CR group), and incomplete resection (IR group) of the gastric antrum. The tension (g) of remnant stomach contraction was observed. We analyzed the histological morphology of the gastric wall by different excisional methods after distal gastrectomy. Moreover, patients underwent PD at our department between January 2012 and May 2016 were included in the study. These cases were divided into IR group and CR group of the gastric antrum, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The ex vivo remnant stomachs of CR group exhibited much greater contraction tension than others (P < 0.05). The contraction tension of the remnant stomach increased with increasing acetylcholine concentration, while remained stable at the concentration of 10 × 10-5 mol/L. Furthermore, 174 consecutive patients were included and retrospectively analyzed in the study. The incidence of DGE was significantly lower (3.5% vs. 21.3%, P < 0.01) in CR group than in IR group. In addition, hematoxylin-eosin staining analyses of the gastric wall confirmed that the number of transected circular smooth muscle bundles were higher in IR group than in CR group (8.24 ± 0.65 vs. 3.76 ± 0.70, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The complete resection of the gastric antrum is associated with decreased incidence and severity of DGE after PD. Gastric electrophysiological and physiopathological disorders caused by damage to gastric smooth muscles might be the mechanism underlying DGE.

Abstract
Background This retrospective study aimed to identify the predictive factors for the progression of grade A, or early biochemical leak, to grade B postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) following pancreaticoduodenectomy using preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging of the pancreas. Material/Methods A total of 156 patients were analyzed retrospectively. Biochemical leakage occurred in 60 patients, who were divided into POPF progression and non-POPF progression groups. Perioperative parameters were collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were done. For the parameters with statistical significance, the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated if possible and the predictive value was assessed. Results Univariate analysis showed that main pancreatic duct diameter, postoperative complications (except POPF), prothrombin time (PT) and serum albumin on postoperative day 3, and pancreatic CT value were risk factors of POPF (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that serum albumin and PT on postoperative day 3 and pancreatic CT value were independent risk factors of POPF (P<0.05). Lower postoperative albumin, lower pancreatic CT value, and longer PT were associated with a higher risk of POPF (P<0.05). The AUC of CT value was 0.808. CT value thresholds of 42.5 Hounsfield units (HU) and 41.5 HU were tied for the highest predictive performance, with Youden indices of 0.486 for both, and sensitivity of 79% and 71%, and specificity of 69% and 78%, respectively. Conclusions Preoperative laboratory investigations and CT imaging of the pancreas may identify factors associated with early biochemical leakage progressing to grade B POPF following pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
Question What are the actual advantages of robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) after the learning curve? Findings In this cohort study of 187 individuals, robot-assisted PD had advantages over open PD in operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay after the learning curve. Meaning The true advantages of robot-assisted PD could be revealed after passing the learning curve. Importance Robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) has been reported to be safe and feasible. As a new technique, RPD has a learning curve similar to that of other types of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery such as laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. To our knowledge, no reports exist on the outcomes of open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) and RPD after the learning curve. Objective To analyze and evaluate the actual advantages of RPD. Design, Setting, and Participants Between May 2010 and December 2018, 450 patients underwent RPD in the Shanghai Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University in Shanghai, China, a high-volume pancreatic disease center. According to our previous study, an important flexion point in the learning curve is 250 cases. Data on the last 200 RPD cases were collected from January 2017 to December 2018. During that period, 634 patients underwent OPD. These patients were divided into 2 groups, and propensity score matching was used to minimize bias. The demographic data and operative outcomes were collected and analyzed. Analysis began May 2019. Exposures Robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy and OPD. Main Outcomes and Measures The short-term operative outcomes of RPD and OPD. Results After 1:1 matching, 187 cases of RPD and OPD were recorded. In the RPD group, 78 patients (41.7%) were women, and the mean (SD) age was 60.9 (11.4) years. In the OPD group, 80 patients (42.8%) were women, and the mean (SD) age was 60.1 (10.8) years. Robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy had advantages in operative time (mean [SD], 279.7 [76.3] minutes vs 298.2 [78.3] minutes; P = .02), estimated blood loss (mean [SD], 297.3 [246.8] mL vs 415.2 [497.9] mL; P = .002), and postoperative length of hospital stay (mean [SD], 22.4 [16.7] days vs 26.1 [16.3] days; P = .03). However, there was no significant difference in the R0 resection rate and incidence rate of postoperative complications, such as postoperative pancreatic fistula, bile leak, and delayed gastric emptying. The incidence rates of postoperative bleeding and reoperation in the RPD group were similar to those in the OPD group, with no statistically significant difference. Conclusions and Relevance After passing the learning curve, RPD had advantages in operative time and blood loss compared with OPD. There were no differences in postoperative complications such as postoperative pancreatic fistula, bile leak, and delayed gastric emptying. However, patients recovered more quickly after RPD than after OPD. A prospective randomized clinical trial is needed in the future to verify these results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify predictive factors associated with operative morbidity, mortality, and survival outcomes in patients with borderline resectable (BR) or locally advanced (LA) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) undergoing total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT). BACKGROUND The optimal preoperative treatment sequencing for BR/LA PDA is unknown. TNT, or systemic chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation (CRT), addresses both occult metastases and positive margin risks and thus is a potentially optimal strategy; however, factors predictive of perioperative and survival outcomes are currently undefined. METHODS We reviewed our experience in BR/LA patients undergoing resection from 2010 to 2017 following TNT assessing operative morbidity, mortality, and survival in order to define outcome predictors and response endpoints. RESULTS One hundred ninety-four patients underwent resection after TNT, including 123 (63%) BR and 71 (37%) LA PDAC. FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine along with nab-paclitaxel were used in 165 (85%) and 65 (34%) patients, with 36 (19%) requiring chemotherapeutic switch before long-course CRT and subsequent resection. Radiologic anatomical downstaging was uncommon (28%). En bloc venous and/or arterial resection was required in 125 (65%) patients with 94% of patients achieving R0 margins. The 90-day major morbidity and mortality was 36% and 6.7%, respectively. Excluding operative mortalities, the median, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) [overall survival (OS)] rates were 23.5 (58.8) months, 65 (96)%, 48 (78)%, and 32 (62)%, respectively. Radiologic downstaging, vascular resection, and chemotherapy regimen/switch were not associated with survival. Only 3 factors independently associated with prolonged survival, including extended duration (≥6 cycles) chemotherapy, optimal post-chemotherapy CA19-9 response, and major pathologic response. Patients achieving all 3 factors had superior survival outcomes with a survival detriment for each failing factor. In a subset of patients with interval metabolic (PET) imaging after initial chemotherapy, complete metabolic response highly correlated with major pathologic response. CONCLUSION Our TNT experience in resected BR/LA PDAC revealed high negative margin rates despite low radiologic downstaging. Extended duration chemotherapy with associated biochemical and pathologic responses highly predicted postoperative survival. Potential modifications of initial chemotherapy treatment include extending cycle duration to normalize CA19-9 or achieve complete metabolic response, or consideration of chemotherapeutic switch in order to achieve these factors may improve survival before moving forward with CRT and subsequent resection.

Abstract
Background With the recent emerge of dynamic prediction model on the use of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and renal failure, and its advantage of providing timely predicted results according to the fluctuation of the condition of the patients, we aim to develop a dynamic prediction model with its corresponding risk assessment chart for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy by combining baseline factors and postoperative time-relevant drainage fluid amylase level and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio. Methods We collected data of 251 patients undergoing LPD at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2016 to April 2019. We extracted preoperative and intraoperative baseline factors and time-window of postoperative drainage fluid amylase and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio relevant to clinically relevant pancreatic fistula by performing univariate and multivariate analyses, developing a time-relevant logistic model with the evaluation of its discrimination ability. We also established a risk assessment chart in each time-point. Results The proportion of the patients who developed clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy was 7.6% (19/251); preoperative albumin and creatine levels, as well as drainage fluid amylase and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio on postoperative days 2, 3, and 5, were the independent risk factors for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula. The cut-off points of the prediction value of each time-relevant logistic model were 14.0% (sensitivity: 81.9%, specificity: 86.5%), 8.3% (sensitivity: 85.7%, specificity: 79.1%), and 7.4% (sensitivity: 76.9%, specificity: 85.9%) on postoperative days 2, 3, and 5, respectively, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.866 (95% CI 0.737–0.996), 0.896 (95% CI 0.814–0.978), and 0.888 (95% CI 0.806–0.971), respectively. Conclusions The dynamic prediction model for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula has a good to very good discriminative ability and predictive accuracy. Patients whose predictive values were above 14.0%, 8.3%, and 7.5% on postoperative days 2, 3, and 5 would be very likely to develop clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic cancer is malignancy with poor prognosis for quality of life and overall survival. The incidence is variant, 7.7/100,000 in Europe, 7.6/100,000 in the USA, 2.2/100.000 in Africa. The only real benefit for cure is surgery, duodenopancreatectomy. The key points for this procedure are radicality, low morbidity and low mortality, the follow up and the expected overall survival. The benchmark of the procedure is the pancreaticojejunoanastomosis, with its main pitfall, postoperative pancreatic fistula B or C. Subsequently, the manner of creation of pancreaticojejunoanastomosis defines the safety, thus the postoperative morbidity and mortality. Finally, this issue remarkably depends on the surgeon and the surgical technique creating the anastomosis. We used 2 techniques with interrupted sutures, dunking anastomosis and duct-to-mucosa double layer technique. The objective of the study was to compare these 2 suturing techniques we applied, and the aim was to reveal the risk benefit rationale for dunking either duct to mucosa anastomosis. MATERIAL AND METHOD In our last series of 25 patients suffering pancreatic head carcinoma we performed a standard dodenopancreatectomy. After the preoperative diagnosis and staging with US, CICT, tumor markers, they underwent surgery. Invagination-dunking anastomosis was performed in 15, whereas, duct-to-mucosa, double layer anastomosis was performed in 10. In the first group with dunking anastomosis, we had 6 patients with soft pancreas and 8 with narrow main pancreatic duct, less than 3 mm. In the duct-to-mucosa group there were 5 patients with soft pancreas and 4 with narrow main pancreatic duct. All other stages of surgery were unified, so the only difference in the procedure remained on the pancreatojejunoanastomosis. The onset of the postoperative pancreatic fistula was estimated with revelation of 3 fold serum level of alfa amylases from the third postoperative day in the drain liquid. RESULTS In the duct to mucosa group there wasn't a clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula, while in the dunking anastomosis group we had 4 postoperative pancreatic fistula B, 26 %. One of these 4 patients experienced intraabdominal collection - abscess, conservatively managed with lavation through the drain. Comparing the groups, there was no significant difference between the groups concerning the appearance of postoperative pancreatic fistula: p>0.05, p=0.125. From all 25 patients, in 21 patients biliary stent was installed preoperatively to resolve the preoperative jaundice. All 21 suffered preoperative and postoperative reflux cholangitis, extending the intra-hospital stay. CONCLUSION So far, there have been many trials referring to opposite results while comparing these 2 techniques in creation of the pancreticojejunoanastomosis. In our study, the duct to mucosa anastomosis prevailed as a technique, proving its risk benefit rationale. However, further large randomized clinical studies have to be conducted to clarify which of these procedures would be the prime objective in the choice of the surgeon while creating pancreatojejunoanastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a technically demanding operation, with reported morbidity rates of approximately 40%–50%. A novel idea is to use endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) in a preemptive setting to prevent anastomotic leakage and pancreatic fistulas. In a recent case series, EVT was proven to be effective in preventing leaks in patients with anastomotic ischemia. There have been no previous reports on preemptive EVT after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
CASE SUMMARY We describe the case of a 71-year-old woman with hypertension and diabetes who was admitted to the emergency room with jaundice, choluria, fecal acholia, abdominal pain, and fever. Admission examinations revealed leukocytosis and hyperbilirubinemia (total: 13 mg/dL; conjugated: 12.1 mg/dL). Abdominal ultrasound showed cholelithiasis and dilation of the common bile duct. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a stenotic area, and a biopsy confirmed cholangiocarcinoma. Considering the high risk of leaks after pancreaticoduodenectomy, preemptive endoluminal vacuum therapy was performed. The system comprised a nasogastric tube, gauze, and an antimicrobial incise drape. The negative pressure was 125 mmHg, and no adverse events occurred. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5 without any symptoms.
CONCLUSION Preemptive endoluminal vacuum therapy may be a safe and feasible technique to reduce leaks after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the most common complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The aim of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of Billroth-II(B-II) versus Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction for gastrojejunostomy on DGE after PD. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed using the electronic database MEDLINE (via PubMed and OVID), EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) of the Cochrane Library to select pertinent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this topic from January 1990 to January 2020. The primary outcome was identified as postoperative DGE. Subgroup analysis was established to compare the incidence of grade B and C DGE. Software Revman 5.3 was used for the statistical analysis, summary statistics were calculated using fixed effect model or random effect model. RESULTS Five RCTs including a total of 612 patients were eligible for this meta-analysis. The incidence of grade B and C DGE was significantly lower with the B-II reconstruction than with the R-Y reconstruction (8.0% vs. 14.8%, OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.95, P = 0.03) and the B-II reconstruction took a shorter operation time (WMD=-7.18, 95% CI: [-13.09, -1.27], P = 0,02). No statistically significant difference was found between the two reconstruction methods in terms of the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), bile leak, intra-abdominal abscess, postoperative pneumonia and the length of postoperative hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS B-II reconstruction after PD has a lower incidence of grade B and C DGE and shorter operation time compared with R-Y reconstruction.
