ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Concomitant venous resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma with mesenterico-portal vein involvement is increasingly performed to achieve oncological resection. This study aims to report a single centre experience in peritoneal patch (PP) as autologous graft for vascular reconstruction (VR) during PD.METHODS:
A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent PD + VR with PP between December 2019 and September 2020 was performed, using a prospective collected database. Postoperative outcome and pathological margins were evaluated. Venous patency was assessed by computed tomography at day 7 and week 12 post surgery.RESULTS:
Fifteen patients underwent PD + VR with PP reconstruction for pancreatic cancer, including one total pancreatectomy. VR consisted of lateral (n = 14) or tubular (n = 1) patch. The median PP length was 30 mm [26.3-33.8] and venous clamping time 30 min [27.5-39.0]. Computed tomography showed a patent VR in 93.3% and 53.3% after 7 days and 12 weeks, respectively; venous patency loss was always asymptomatic. The only postoperative VR-related complication was one mesenteric venous thrombosis. Five other patients experienced VR-unrelated complications septic shock (n = 3), biliary fistula (n = 1) and post-traumatic subdural hematoma (n = 1). Mortality was nihil. At pathology, R0 resection (≥1 mm) was observed in 40.0% (6/15), venous margin was free in 46.7% (7/15), and venous wall was involved in 40.0% (6/15).CONCLUSIONS:
Use of PP as venous substitute during PD + VR is safe and feasible with an acceptable postoperative morbidity, and a decreased but asymptomatic venous patency after 12 weeks which should question the role of anticoagulation therapy.Palavras-chave
