Abstract
INTRODUCTION The main objective of this study was to analyse the results of the surgical treatment of ampullary neuroendocrine tumours (NET) based on transduodenal ampullectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy, in a reference centre in hepatobiliopancreatic pathology. METHOD Retrospective, observational study, including all patients operated on for pancreatic and/or duodenal NET in a reference unit of hepatobiliopancreatic pathology and prospectively registered between January 1st, 1993 and September 30th, 2021. For those parameters not present, retrospective research was performed. Demographic, clinical, analytical and pathological data were analysed. A descriptive study was carried out. Overall and disease-free survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves and the Log-Rank test. RESULTS Of 181 patients operated on for pancreatic and/or duodenal NET, only 9 were located in the ampulla of Vater, which represents 4.9% of all pancreatic and/or duodenal NET. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was performed in 6 patients, while 3 patients underwent transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA). Longer surgical time and more postoperative complications were observed in the PD group. There were no differences in hospital stay. Overall and disease-free survival at 5 years in the PD group compared to ATD was 83.3% vs. 100% and 50% vs. 100%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ampullary NET without locoregional involvement or risk factors, can be treated by conservative surgeries such as transduodenal ampullectomy.

Abstract
Tumours of the ampulla of Vater are relatively uncommon lesions of the digestive system. They are typically diagnosed at an earlier stage than other types of tumours in this region, due to their tendency to invoke symptoms by obstructing the bile duct or pancreatic duct. Consequently, many are potentially curable by excision. Surgical ampullectomy (SA) (or transduodenal ampullectomy) for an ampullary tumour was first described in 1899, but was soon surpassed by pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), which offered a more extensive resection resulting in a lower risk of recurrence. Ongoing innovation in endoscopic techniques over recent decades has led to the popularization of endoscopic papillectomy (EP), particularly for adenomas and even early cancers. The vast majority of resectable ampullary tumours are now treated using either PD or EP. However, SA continues to play a role in specific circumstances. Many authors have suggested specific indications for SA based on their own data, practices, or interpretations of the literature. However, certain issues have attracted controversy, such as its use for early ampullary cancers. Consequently, there has been a lack of clarity regarding indications for SA, and no evidence-based consensus guidelines have been produced. All studies reporting SA have employed observational designs, and have been heterogeneous in their methodologies. Accordingly, characteristics of patients and their tumours have differed substantially across treatment groups. Therefore, meaningful comparisons of clinical outcomes between SA, PD and EP have been elusive. Nevertheless, it appears that suitably selected cases of ampullary tumours subjected to SA may benefit from favourable peri-operative and long-term outcomes with very low mortality and significantly long survival, hence its role in this setting warrants further clarification, while it can also be useful in the management of specific benign entities. Whilst the commissioning of a randomised controlled trial seems unlikely, well-designed observational studies incorporating adjustments for confounding variables may become the best available comparative evidence for SA, potentially informing the eventual development of consensus guidelines. In this comprehensive review, we explore the role of SA in the modern management of ampullary lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopically unresectable adenomas and carcinomas of the greater duodenal papilla and ampulla of the bile duct necessitate surgical resection. The surgical techniques need to be adapted to local tumor expansion and patterns of infiltrative growth. OBJECTIVE Based on the current scientific data and developments this article provides an overview of indications for surgical resection, surgical strategies and dissection techniques for ampullary tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS A review of the literature addressing surgical management of ampullary neoplasms was performed. Current evidence and recommendations were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Ampullary neoplasms can originate from intestinal or pancreatobiliary epithelial cells. Differentiating these histopathological subtypes is of crucial relevance concerning therapeutic strategy and prognosis in ampullary adenocarcinoma. All ampullary adenomas carry a risk of malignant transformation and therefore justify resection. Endoscopic papillectomy, surgical transduodenal ampullectomy and partial pancreatoduodenectomy are suitable resection techniques for ampullary adenoma. The selection of the procedure depends on intraductal tumor extension, tumor size and degree of dysplasia. Ampullary carcinoma is managed by upfront pancreatoduodenectomy comprising systematic lymph node dissection and level II dissection of the mesopancreas. Lymph node status and perineural sheath invasion are key prognostic factors concerning overall survival.

Abstract
Ampullary neoplasms are relatively uncommon lesions with a risk of progression to malignancy. Depending on its nature, size and location, it may be best treated with endoscopic papillotomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy or transduodenal ampullectomy. Transduodenal ampullectomy offers a higher chance of complete resection compared to endoscopic papillotomy, and carries lower morbidity than a pancreaticoduodenectomy, making it the ideal choice for localised ampullary tumour not involving the ducts but not amenable to complete endoscopic resection. While traditionally performed via open surgery, it has been attempted via laparoscopic approach and more recently robotic approach. We present a case of a 63-year-old man who underwent a robotic transduodenal ampullectomy for ampullary adenoma with high grade dysplasia, and review the literature surrounding robotic transduodenal ampullectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transduodenal ampullectiomy (TDA) is a surgical local excision method that can be performed in patients with ampullary tumors, but it has not been widely used clinically. Recently, TDA is considered as a good alternative surgical technique in patients who are unable to perform the endoscopic ampullectomy (EA) or pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for various reasons. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of TDA and the clinicopathological significance of pathologic findings in TDA. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 31 patients diagnosed as ampullary tumor and underwent TDA from March 2004 to December 2019 in a single center. RESULTS All 31 patients were planned to perform TDA, and 4 of them were converted to PPPD due to the marginal status results of frozen biopsy. Of the 31 patients, 19 were diagnosed with malignancy and 12 were diagnosed with benign. Of the 18 patients who were diagnosed as malignancy in final biopsy, only 9 patients (50%) were diagnosed with malignancy on the preoperative endoscopic biopsy. In 15 patients who underwent only TDA for malignancy, there was no recurrence during the follow-up period (mean: 51.1 months, range: 19-137). CONCLUSIONS In benign ampullary tumor, TDA is a choice of treatment for patients who are unsuitable for endoscopic ampullectomy. TDA may be considered as an alternative operation in highly selective patients with early ampullary cancer (Tis and T1). Further studies on consensus of TDA indication for ampullary tumor will be needed in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) is not in wide clinical use due to its low radical effect and a high recurrence rate of tumors. However, TDA is still an effective treatment method; it has great clinical value in cases of duodenal benign tumors, precancerous lesions, and benign and malignant borderline tumors, and can avoid the risks associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy with larger resection range and greater thoroughness than endoscopic papillectomy.
AIM To investigate the surgical method choice and the coincidence rate of pathological diagnoses in TDA for ampullary neoplasms.
METHODS Ten patients with ampullary neoplasms underwent TDA based on the fact that their endoscopic biopsy results suggested benign lesions, and the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-assessed tumors were resectable. All cases underwent duodenal ampullary lesion endoscopic biopsy, intraoperative frozen-section pathological examination, and postoperative pathological examination.
RESULTS This study included seven patients with benign tumors and three with malignant tumors (1 pTis, 2 pT1), according to the postoperative pathology results. The coincidence rate of the postoperative pathology results with the intraoperative frozen-section biopsy results was 100% (10/10), and the coincidence rate with the endoscopic biopsy results was 70% (7/10) based on pathological characteristics. The endoscopic biopsy false-negative rate was 30% (3/10). All patients were followed for 6 to 70 mo without tumor recurrence or metastasis.
CONCLUSION The coincidence rate of postoperative pathology results, intraoperative frozen-section pathology results, and endoscopic biopsy results is the restraining factor of TDA clinical application. Endoscopic biopsy results and EUS have importance relevance to surgical planning. Intraoperative frozen-section pathology results have a significant influence on the choice of surgical procedure.

Abstract
Purpose Transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) has been reported in a limited number of cases and in a small number of case series. The aim of this study was to analyze perioperative and long-term oncological outcomes of patients with ampullary tumors who underwent TDA in a single large-volume center. Methods Through a retrospective review of data from 2004 to 2016, we identified 26 patients who underwent TDA at Asan Medical Center. Results Eleven of 26 patients underwent TDA for T1 and carcinoma in situ (high-grade dysplasia) cancer; these patients are still alive without recurrence. A major in-hospital complication (3.8%) occurred in 1 case, but there was no case of 90-day mortality. In addition, none of the patients was diagnosed as having newly developed diabetes mellitus after TDA. No significant differences were found between open and laparoscopic-TDA in terms of operation time, painkiller use, and hospital stay. Conclusion TDA is a feasible and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of selected patients with ampullary tumors. It is an alternative treatment option in cases of ampullary tumors not amenable to endoscopic papillectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Surgical resection, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), is used for treatment of benign periampullary tumors, but high morbidity and mortality resulting from PD can be a huddle. The aim of this study is to suggest a safe and less invasive procedure for treatment of benign periampullary tumors. Methods From January 2001 to September 2016, 31 patients with ampulla of Vater (AOV) tumors were reviewed retrospectively. Patients who were confirmed with malignancy through biopsy were excluded, except for one patient with malignancy and multiple underlying diseases. To investigate the safety and availability of transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA), TDA and endoscopic papillectomy (EP) were compared. Results There was no significant difference in the occurrence of complications between the TDA group and EP group (p=0.145), and the resection margins were negative in both groups. There was no recurrence in patients who had TDA, while one patient had a recurrence after EP. Conclusions This study suggests that TDA is as safe as EP for treating benign periampullary tumors.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) compared to conventional pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with early ampullary cancers. Methods We carried out a retrospective study by reviewing the medical records of 43 patients with early ampullary cancer who underwent either TDA or PD from January 2001 to December 2014. TDA and PD were performed on 22 patients and 21 patients, respectively. Clinical data, perioperative clinical outcomes and prognosis were evaluated. The median follow-up was 75 (range, 38–143) months. Results The sensitivity of intraoperative frozen resection was 100 % (4/4) and 94.9 % (37/39) in patients with pTis and pT1 tumors compared to final histologic diagnoses. The 5-year survival rate of patients with early ampullary cancer was 77.3 % in TDA group and 75.9 % in PD group (P = 0.927). Patients with lymph node metastasis presented a shorter 5-year survival rate (P = 0.014). TDA was associated with lower surgical morbidity (P = 0.033), estimated blood loss (P = 0.002), medical cost (P = 0.028) compared to PD. No pancreatic fistula and surgical mortality occurred in TDA group. Conclusions TDA could produce satisfactory clinical efficiency in patients fulfilled the following criteria simultaneously: pTis or pT1 stage, tumor size ≤ 2 cm, without lymph node metastasis. To achieve favorable outcomes, intraoperative frozen section examinations should be reliable and resection margins should be negative.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tumors arising from the ampulla of Vater can be benign or malignant. Recently, endoscopic papillectomy has been employed in the management of benign ampulla of Vater tumors; however, surgical resection is the treatment of choice. The aim of this study was to define indications and suggest a role for transduodenal ampullectomy in the management of ampulla of Vater tumors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 54 patients treated for ampulla of Vater tumors between January 1999 and December 2008. RESULTS Twenty-two endoscopic papillectomies and 21 transduodenal ampullectomies were performed. Four patients underwent transduodenal ampullectomy after endoscopic papillectomy due to a recurrent or remnant tumor. Recurrence or a remnant tumor was found in one patient after transduodenal ampullectomy compared to six patients after endoscopic papillectomy. Immediate intraoperative conversion from transduodenal ampullectomy to pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in five patients based on intraoperative frozen biopsy analysis. CONCLUSION Transduodenal ampullectomy should be performed to treat ampulla of Vater tumors that are unsuitable for endoscopic papillectomy. Transduodenal ampullectomy can serve as an intermediate treatment option between endoscopic papillectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy in the management of ampulla of Vater tumors.
