Robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular resection. Description of the surgical technique and analysis of early outcomes

BackgroundDespite the potential benefits, the adoption of the minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer is still in the initial phase. We investigated the safety and feasibility of the robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy with venous resection/reconstruction (RPD SMV/PV).MethodsSince March 2013 to October 2019, a total of 73 RPD and 10 RPD SMV/PV were performed. The two groups were case-matched according to the preoperative characteristics.ResultsMean operative times and estimated blood loss were less in the RPD group in comparison to that in the RPD with SMV-PV group (525 vs 642 min, p = 0.003 and 290 vs 620 ml, p = 0.002, respectively). The mean length of hospital stay was similar in the RPD group in comparison to that in the RPD with SMV-PV group (10 days vs 13 days, p = 0.313). The two groups had similar overall postoperative morbidity rate (57.5% vs 60%, p = 0.686), although the severe complication rate was lower in the RPD group (11% vs 40%, p = 0.004).ConclusionsRPD with SMV-PV is associated with increased operative time, estimated blood loss, higher major complication rate compared with RPD.     

胰腺癌扩大根治术中的血管处理

目的 探讨联合门静脉-肠系膜上静脉切除的胰腺癌扩大根治术的临床意义和手术方法 ,以及术中医源性血管损伤的处理方法 .方法 回顾性分析242例胰腺癌扩大根治术患者临床资料,所有患者分为三组,A组为门静脉/肠系膜上静脉切除组(n=51),B组为术中发生医源性血管损伤组(n=5),C组为未行血管处理组(n=186),比较三个组的手术时间、术中输血量、血管阻断时间、平均住院天数、术后并发症及术后生存分析.结果 三个组手术时间分别为(442.85±102.32)min、(348.62±92.31)min和(315.00±83.43)min,术中平均输血量为(1430.83±1092.43)ml、(1420.22±794.41 ml)和(928.19±571.57)ml,手术时间和术中输血量相比差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),平均住院天数、术后并发症发生率差异无统计学意义(P 0.05).合并门静脉/肠系膜上静脉切除的胰腺腺癌患者术后中位生存期18.4个月,不合并门静脉/肠系膜上静脉切除组的胰腺腺癌患者术后中位生存期16.1个月,生存分析两者无明显差异(P 0.05).51例联合血管切除的患者中,行血管壁部分切除7例,行血管节段切除44例,44例血管节段切除患者中38例行端端吻合,6例行间置移植物,血管切除长度平均(2.92±1.35)cm;5例术中医源性动脉损伤的血管分别为肝动脉1例,肠系膜上动脉1例,腹腔干3例,处理方式为4例行端端吻合,1例行局部修补.结论 积极合理的开展联合门静脉/肠系膜上静脉切除的胰腺癌扩大根治术可以提高手术切除率,改善患者生活质量.由于局部的解剖关系复杂,术中较易发生医源性血管损伤,应引起术者重视并加以正确处理.     

完全性胸腹腔内脏反位合并十二指肠壶腹周围癌一例报告与文献复习

目的总结完全性胸腹腔内脏反位合并十二指肠壶腹周围癌的临床诊治方法。方法报道2006年3月收治的1例极为罕见的完全性胸腹腔内脏反位合并十二指肠壶腹周围癌行胰十二指肠切除术的病例,并复习国内外相关文献。结果本例患者病理诊断为十二指肠乳头及壶腹部腺癌Ⅰ-Ⅱ级。术后1周胆红素降至正常;但2周后出现胃-空肠吻合输出袢粘连性不完全性梗阻,经内镜下置管、鼻饲、营养支持、针灸等处理,40d后痊愈出院。经检索,全球自1936-2006年间报道的全胸腹腔内脏反位合并恶性肿瘤的患者仅15例;其中只有5例全胸腹腔内脏反位合并胰头与壶腹周围癌的报道。结论完全性胸腹腔内脏反位合并肿瘤时,若无明显禁忌证,应同样予以积极的外科治疗,术中操作应注意完全相反的解剖学结构。     

区域淋巴结廓清在胰头癌根治术中的应用

目的 探讨区域淋巴结廓清结合胰十二指肠切除术治疗胰头癌的有效性和安全性。方法 在常规胰十二指肠切除术(Whipple)基础上，进行区域淋巴结廓清，同时清除从腹腔动脉干至肠系膜下动脉的后腹膜组织，重点清除肠系膜根部淋巴结(14组)、肝十二指肠韧带内淋巴结(12组)、腹主动脉旁淋巴结(16组)、以及肝动脉旁(8组)、腹腔动脉旁(9组)淋巴结。结果 53例胰头癌病人施行了以区域淋巴结廓清为重点的胰头癌根治术，其中有3例合并切除了受浸润的一段肠系膜上静脉。手术无严重并发症发生，病人均痊愈出院。53例病人中有38例(72％)发生淋巴结转移，其中以胰头后(13组)、肠系膜根部(14组)发生率最高；14组淋巴结中各亚组转移率较为平均；发生第二站淋巴结转移的比例高达63％；肿瘤大小与淋巴结转移不成正比，小于2cm的肿瘤已经有第二站淋巴结的转移；术后1，2，3，5年生存率分别为70％，52．8％，26．7％，17．8％。结论 胰头癌的淋巴结转移呈现发生早、播散远和以肠系膜根部等部位为重点的特征，以区域淋巴结廓清为重点的胰头癌根治术能较为彻底地清除区域内淋巴结以及后腹膜组织，有助于保证手术的彻底性。     

Adenocarcinoma of the Ampulla of Vater: T-Stage,Chromosome 17p Allelic Loss,and Extended Pancreaticoduodenectomy are Relevant Prognostic Factors

Objective To evaluate the prognostic significance of different clinico-pathological and molecular factors, and to compare survival after standard and extended pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in ampulla of Vater adenocarcinoma (AVAC). Summary Background Data There are discordant data on factors affecting prognosis, and hence therapeutic choices, in AVAC. Patients and Methods Clinical-pathological factors were evaluated in 59 patients, subjected to PD for AVAC; in 42 subjects information on chromosome 17p and 18q allelic losses (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) was also available. The association between survival and type of PD was investigated in the 25 patients operated between 1990 and 2001 (16 standard and nine extended). Results The overall 5- and 10-year tumor-related survival rates were 46% and 33%, respectively. Sixteen patients had T-stages 1–2, 14 T-stage 3, and 29 T-stage 4 cancers. Chromosome 17p and 18q LOH were detected in 23 (55%) and 15 cases (36%), respectively, and in 12 cases (29%) coexisted. Five cases were MSI-positive (12%). At univariate analysis, poor survival was associated with cancer ulceration (P = 0.051), poor differentiation (P = 0.008), T-stage 4 (P < 0.001), nodal metastases (P = 0.004), chromosome 17p (P < 0.001) and 18q LOH (P = 0.002), and absence of MSI (P = 0.009). At multivariate analysis, only T-stage (P = 0.002) and 17p LOH (P = 0.001) were independent predictors of survival. All patients with MSI-positive cancers were long-survivors (>12 yrs), whereas only 30% of MSI-negative cancer patients survived at 5 years. Extended pancreaticoduodenectomy was associated with a 3-year disease-related survival higher than standard resection (83% vs 31%; P = 0.018). Conclusion MSI and chromosome 17p status allow to better define prognosis within ampullary cancers at the same stage. Surgery alone resulted curative in MSI-positive cancer patients, whereas it was inadequate in patients showing allelic losses, who might benefit from adjuvant therapy. In this observational study, extended PD was associated with increased survival compared to standard procedures.

联合门静脉和/或肠系膜上静脉切除的扩大胰十二指肠切除术

目的探讨胰头癌侵犯门静脉和／或肠系膜上静脉（PV／SMV）时的根治切除的可行性。方法回顾分析包括受侵PV／SMV在内的扩大胰头十二指肠切除术16例的临床资料。16例均行胰头十二指肠切除术，其中9例行血管壁部分切除，5例行血管节段性切除及对端吻合，2例行受侵血管切除＋自体静脉移植。结果全组患者术后均未发生血管栓塞、肠坏死、肝衰竭等并发症。除1例并发多器官衰竭于术后2d死亡外，均康复出院。15例均随访。存活超过3年者3例，超过5年者1例，存活3～26个月4例。结论对单纯侵犯PV／SMV的胰头癌施行联合PV／SMV住内的胰头癌扩大根治术是可行的。     

针刺导管空肠造口术肠内营养在胰十二指肠切除术病人中的应用

目的探讨针刺导管空肠造口术(NCJ)肠内营养(EN)在胰十二指肠切除术病人中的应用效果。方法32例病人,16例术后肠外营养(PN)(对照组),16例术后行导管空肠造口术(NCJ)肠内营养(EN)治疗(实验组)。结果术后实验组的胃肠动力比对照组的恢复早(P<0.05)。治疗前两组病人血蛋白指标(白蛋白、前白蛋白、转铁蛋白)无明显差异。治疗后两组均升高,而实验组血蛋白指标的水平明显高于对照组(P<0.05),二者差异显著。结论导管空肠造口术(NCJ)肠内营养(EN)应用于胰十二指肠切除术病人中比肠外营养(PN)具有更多的优点。     

慢性胰腺炎手术疗效的临床观察

目的总结慢性胰腺炎的外科治疗经验,提高手术疗效。方法回顾性分析1992年3月～2002年5月手术治疗的138例慢性胰腺炎患者的临床资料。结果反复上腹痛是慢性胰腺炎的主要症状。所有患者均接受了手术治疗,无手术死亡。术后发生胰瘘3例,吻合口出血2例,并发症发生率为36%。术后978%的患者腹痛明显减轻。124例(899%)获1～9年随访,平均随访时间49年,13例症状复发,复发率为94%。新发糖尿病7例,脂肪泻5例,死亡5例,其中死于慢性胰腺炎并发症2例。结论慢性胰腺炎手术时机的掌握和手术方法的选择对患者生活质量和疾病进程的控制至关重要。     

The Role of Extended Lymphadenectomy for Adenocarcinoma of the Head of the Pancreas: Strength of the Evidence

With improvements in the safety of Whipple resection in recent decades, surgeons have continued to explore the role of more extensive lymphadenectomy in hope of improving long-term survival. A systematic literature search of level I evidence addressing the role of the extent of lymphadenectomy was undertaken. Only reports of prospective, randomized controlled trials comparing pancreaticoduodenectomy with standard lymphadenectomy to pancreaticoduodenectomy with extended lymphadenectomy where information regarding survival, morbidity, mortality, the number of resected lymph nodes in each group and detailed operative technique were included. Four prospective, randomized trials comprising some 424 patients and one meta-analysis were identified. In aggregate, these studies confirmed that the number of resected lymph nodes was significantly higher in the pancreaticoduodenectomy with extended lymphadenectomy group. Morbidity and mortality rates were comparable. Postoperative diarrhea in the early months after operation was problematic in patients undergoing extended lymphadenectomy. In none of the studies was a benefit in long-term survival demonstrated. Standard pancreaticoduodenectomy continues to be the operation of choice for adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas.

术前减黄对低位胆道恶性梗阻性黄疸患者行胰十二指肠切除术的影响

目的探讨术前减黄对低位胆道恶性梗阻性黄疸患者行胰十二指肠切除术的影响。方法回顾1999年1月至2005年12月98例总胆红素>85μmol/L行胰十二指肠切除术的低位胆道恶性梗阻性黄疸的临床资料。结果术前减黄34例(35%,34/98),减黄前的胆红素水平为(266±119)μmoL/L,减黄后下降为(184±115)μmoL/L(t=2.66,P=0.010)。减黄组术中红细胞输注量为(276±419)ml,未减黄组为(397±344)ml(P=0.016);术后总的并发症发生率为39%(38/98);减黄组为35%(12/34),未减黄组为40%(26/64),差异无显著性(P=0.053),感染性并发症和单个并发症发生率两组之间亦无显著性差异(P=0.513)。单变量分析显示术前胆红素>340μmol/L(P=0.042)、手术出血量>600 ml(P=0.001)和术中红细胞输注量>600 ml(P=0.003)时,术后并发症的发生率显著性上升。多变量Logistic回归分析表明影响术后并发症的危险因素为手术出血量>600 ml(OR=2.77,P=0.036)和术中红细胞输注量>600 ml(OR=3.78,P=0.048)。结论低位恶性胆道梗阻患者,术前胆红素>340μmol/L时术后并发症的发生率显著增加,但术前减黄并未降低术后并发症的发生率,术者的技术和操作熟练程度可能影响术后并发症的发生。
