Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic cancer carries a high risk of massive intraoperative blood loss. The artery first approach (AFA) prevents blood loss during PD, but the optimal approach is unclear. The first jejunal vein (FJV) often comprises multiple veins and broadly supports venous drainage of the proximal jejunum. Its ligation carries a risk of proximal jejunum congestion. Here we investigated the anatomical characteristics of PD-associated vessels and AFA approach selection based on FJV anatomy. METHODS This study included 148 Japanese living donors for liver transplantation. We reviewed their computed tomography images and assessed the anatomical pattern of PD-associated vessels in terms of FJV anatomy. RESULTS The FJV traveled posterior to the superior mesenteric artery in 128 patients (86.5%, dorsal group) and anterior in 20 (13.5%, ventral group). The predominant draining vein of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal vein was the superior mesenteric vein in the ventral group (87.5%) and the FJV in the dorsal group (97.9%). Compared with the dorsal group, the ventral group had a significantly greater percentage with the superior mesenteric vein ventral to the superior mesenteric artery (30.0% versus 10.9%) and a significantly larger posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal vein diameter (3.2 ± 0.9 versus 2.7 ± 0.6 mm, p = 0.0029). These results were validated in patients with pancreatic head cancer. CONCLUSIONS The anatomical characteristics of PD-associated vessels differed significantly between groups defined by FJV anatomy. Understanding the venous anatomy, especially the FJV, could support selection of the best approach in AFA for PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most debated aspects of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) concern the dissection of the pancreas from the surrounding vessels and the achievement of adequate resection margins, especially in patients with pancreatic cancer. METHODS Data of consecutive patients undergoing LPD with right artery first approach from September 2020 to September 2021 for periampullary neoplasms (pancreatic, ampullary, duodenal, distal common biliary duct) were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. The overall cohort was divided into two groups: patients affected by pancreatic carcinoma (PC) and patients affected by other periampullary neoplasms (OP). Surgical and postoperative outcomes between PC and OP were compared. RESULTS Thirty-one patients (15 PC and 16 OP) were selected. No difference was found between PC and OP in terms of baseline characteristics. Median resection time and overall surgical time of the entire cohort were 275 min and 530 min, respectively, without difference between the groups (p = 0.599 and 0.052, respectively). Blood loss was similar between the groups, being 350 ml in PC and 325 ml in OP (p = 0.762). One patient (3.2%) was converted to laparotomy. No difference was found between the groups in terms of pathological outcomes. Median number of retrieved lymph nodes was 17. The majority of the patients (83.9%) received an R0 resection (73.3% and 93.7% in PC and OP, respectively; p = 0.172). Postoperative surgical outcomes did not differ between the groups, excepting for overall complication rate that was higher in the OP group (26.7% vs 68.7% in PC and OP, respectively; p = 0.032). CONCLUSION Standardized right artery first approach during LPD was feasible and did not show worse surgical and postoperative outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer as compared to those affected by other periampullary neoplasms, except for a higher rate of minor complications.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the gold standard for the treatment of periampullary tumors. Many specialized centers have adopted the totally laparoscopic or hybrid laparoscopic PD (LPD). However, this procedure has not yet been standardized and serious debate is taking place towards its safety and feasibility. Herein, we report our recent experience whit hybrid-LPD. Methods During 2019 in our department 56 PD were performed and 21 (37.5%) underwent hybrid-LPD. We have retrospectively reviewed the short-term outcomes of these patients. Results Main indication was pancreatic adenocarcinoma (71,4%). The median operative time and intraoperative blood loss were respectively 425 min (range, 226 to 576) and 317 ml (range 60 to 800 ml). Conversion to an open procedure was required in 4 patients (19%): 2 with suspected vein involvement, 1 for mesenteric panniculitis and 1 for biliary injury. The post-operative complication rate was 42.8% (9/21). Regarding post-operative pancreatic fistula, three patients (14.2%) had grade B and 1 grade C (4.7%). Median length of hospital stay was 14 days (range 9-23) and 90- days mortality was 4.7%. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 17.7 (range 12 to 26). The rate of margins R0 was 80%; R1 >0<1 mm was 10.5% and R1 0 mm was 9.5%. Conclusions Hydrid-LPD is safe and feasible. Careful patient selection and increasing experience can reduce the risk of post-operative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (L-RAMPS) with vascular resection for pancreatic cancer has been rarely reported in the literature. Several critical steps are required to achieve a safe radical resection under laparoscopy while respecting oncologic principles of radicality. METHODS Prospectively collected data on a consecutive series of patients undergoing radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) were retrospectively reviewed for the purpose of this study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach and the need for vascular resection, and data were compared. The surgical technique is reported in detail focusing on the different modalities of vascular resection. RESULTS Twenty-three patients (male/female ratio, 12/11; mean age, 73 years) underwent RAMPS between July 2014 and October 2018 at our institution. Of these, 17 had a laparoscopic approach and six a standard open approach. All patients in the open group underwent complex vascular reconstructions while four out of 17 (23.5%) underwent laparoscopic vascular resection. One patient in the laparoscopic approach required a vascular reconstruction with graft interposition, which combined the two approaches. There was no mortality, and the complication rate and the duration of surgery were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION L-RAMPS with vascular resection is feasible and safe in selected cases when performed by advanced pancreatic surgeons with experience in laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to discuss the feasibility of laparoscopic 'uncinate first' pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS The analysis included prospectively collected data from 12 consecutive patients undergoing elective pure laparoscopic 'uncinate process first' pancreatoduodenectomy (Group 1). They were compared with patients previously operated on with a classical laparoscopic approach (Group 2). The primary outcome was the quality of the resected specimen (lymph node (LN) yield, R0 rate, involved resection margins). Secondary outcomes were perioperative parameters. RESULTS The LN yield in Group 1 was 19.3 and in Group 2 it was 13.9 (p = 0.03). R0 resection rates did not vary (66.7 vs. 63.2%, p = 0.84). Although the involvement of the superior mesenteric artery margin and uncinate process margin seemed lower in Group 1, the difference was not significant. Total operative time (467 vs. 425 min, p = 0.13) and resection time (221 vs. 232 min, p = 0.34) were similar in both groups. The estimated blood loss in Group 1 was 408 ml, whereas in Group 2 it was 392 ml (p = 0.33). Complication rates were 66.7% in Group 1 and 63.2% in Group 2 (p = 0.84). Median length of stay was 9 days in both groups (p = 0.36). Postoperative complication rates did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic uncinate first approach is a feasible method for pancreatic head neoplasms. Achieved quality of the specimen is comparable with the traditional laparoscopic approach, whereas intra- and postoperative course is not inferior. However, further studies on larger cohorts are required to fully establish whether the novel approach has potential advantages over classical access in pancreatic head cancer.
