Safety and Feasibility of Pancreaticoduodenectomy with Venous Reconstruction: Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital’s Experience
Keywords:
Pancreaticoduodenectomy, whipple operation, venous reconstruction, pancreatic cancerAbstract
Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with venous reconstruction is becoming a more common practicein locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma in which tumors adhere or invade portal vein (PV) or superior
mesenteric vein (SMV). Our objective was to compare short-term outcomes of PD with venous reconstruction (VR
group) to a standard PD (non-VR group) in our center.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study recruited 43 patients who underwent PD by a single surgeon
from July 2010- June 2013. Seventeen patients underwent PD with VR and 26 were in non-VR group. All charts were
reviewed, including demographic data, operative details, and complications. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall
survival were evaluated.
Results: Of 43 patients, there were significant differences in operative time and amount of blood loss between
both groups. However, length of stay of both groups had no difference. Pathological PV/SMV invasion in VR group
was 41.7%. Mortality rate was not different in both groups. Overall survival and DFS in the VR group were 9 months
and 6.5 months respectively.
Conclusion: PD with venous reconstruction is safe and effective in selected cases. Short-term outcomes are
similar to those in non-vascular reconstruction group. Mortality rate in both groups are high. PD with VR should remain
the standard of care for locally advanced peri-ampullary cancer.
