ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Venous reconstruction has been recently demonstrated to be safe for tumours with invasion into portal vein and/or superior mesenteric vein. This study aims to compare the patency between various venous reconstructions. METHODS: This is retrospective study of 76 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy with venous reconstruction from 2006 to 2018. Patient demographics, tumour histopathology, morbidity, mortality and patency were studied. Kaplan-Meier estimates were performed for primary venous patency. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and 14 underwent total pancreatectomy. Forty-seven, 19 and 10 patients underwent primary repair, end-to-end anastomosis and interposition graft respectively. Major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo >grade 2) and 30-day mortality were 14/76(18.4%) and 1/76(1.3%) respectively. There were 12(15.8%) venous occlusion including 4(5.3%) acute occlusions. Overall 6-month, 1-year and 2-year primary patency was 89.1%, 92.5% and 92.3% respectively. 1-year primary patency of primary repair was superior to end-to-end anastomosis and interposition graft (primary repair 100%, end-to-end anastomosis 81.8%, interposition graft 66.7%, p = 0.045). Pairwise comparison also demonstrated superior 1-year patency of primary repair (adjusted p = 0.037). There was no significant difference between the cumulative venous patency for each venous reconstruction method: primary repair 84±6%, end-to-end anastomosis 75±11% and interposition graft 76±15% (p = 0.561). CONCLUSION: 1-year primary venous patency of primary repair is superior to end-to-end anastomosis and interposition graft.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The aim of this systematic review is to assess the role of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the preoperative evaluation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and cystic lesions of the pancreas. METHODS: A computerized PubMed search was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to identify studies evaluating positron emission tomography in the preoperative evaluation of pancreatic cystic lesions. RESULTS: A total of 14 studies evaluated the role of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/positron emission tomography-computed tomography, 9 of which evaluated only intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and 5 evaluated all pancreatic cystic lesions, including intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. Pooled analysis was carried out for studies evaluating intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms only and studies evaluating all cystic lesions. Imaging with 18-fluorodeoxyblucose positron emission tomography had a positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 90%, 91%, 85%, 95%, and 91% in identifying malignancy (defined as either invasive and/or high-grade dysplasia) in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and a positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 85%, 81%, 79%, 86%, and 88% in identifying malignancy in other cystic lesions. Pooled analysis reported the positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of Sendai consensus guidelines (SCG) criteria as 69%, 69%, 68%, 55%, and 58%. The Fukuoka consensus guidelines (FCG) only had sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy reported as 61%, 52%, and 52%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The 18-fluorodeoxyblucose positron emission tomography had a high degree of accuracy of detecting malignancy in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and cystic lesion of the pancreas. Comparison of the utility of positron emission tomography with the Fukuoka consensus guidelines and the Sendai consensus guidelines suggest that positron emission tomography is superior to present guidelines in detecting malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and cystic lesion of the pancreas. Further studies in larger patient cohorts may be required to corroborate these findings and to determine the place of positron emission tomography in the management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and cystic lesions of the pancreas.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: This systematic review was performed to assess the clinical utility of the Sendai Consensus Guidelines (SCG) and Fukuoka Consensus Guidelines (FCG) for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). METHODS: A computerized search of PubMed was performed to identify all the studies which evaluated the SCG and FCG in surgically resected, histologically confirmed IPMNs. RESULTS: Ten studies evaluating the FCG, 8 evaluating the SCG and 4 evaluating both guidelines were included. In 14 studies evaluating the FCG, out of a total of 2498 neoplasms, 849 were malignant and 1649 were benign neoplasms. Pooled analysis showed that 751 of 1801 (42%) FCG+ve neoplasms were malignant and 599 neoplasms of 697 (86%) FCG-ve neoplasms were benign. PPV of the high risk and worrisome risk groups were 465/986 (47%) and 239/520 (46%) respectively. In 12 studies evaluating the SCG, 1234 neoplasms were analyzed of which 388 (31%) were malignant and 846 (69%) were benign. Pooled analysis demonstrated that 265 of 802 (33%) SCG+ve neoplasms were malignant and 238 of 266 SCG-ve (90%) neoplasms were benign. CONCLUSION: The FCG had a higher positive predictive value (PPV) compared to the SCG. However, the negative predictive value (NPV) of the FCG was slightly lower than that of the SCG. Malignant and even invasive IPMN may be missed according to both guidelines.
