ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Pancreatectomy may cause serious pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI), which can lead to some nutritional problems, including new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Recent studies have reported that remnant pancreatic volume (RPV) significantly influences postoperative PEI. However, the specific correlation between RPV and postoperative PEI remains unclear. Here, we compare various pre-, peri-, and postoperative risk factors in a retrospective cohort to address whether preoperatively measured RPV is a predictor of postoperative PEI in pancreatic cancer patients after distal pancreatectomy (DP).METHODS:
Sixty-one pancreatic cancer patients who underwent DP were retrospectively enrolled. Pancreatic volume was measured using preoperative 3D images, which simulated the actual intraoperative pancreatic parenchymal volume. We obtained the 3D-measured RPV and resected pancreatic volume. We calculated the ratio of the RPV to the total pancreatic volume and then divided the cohort into high- and low-RPV ratio groups based on a cut-off value (>0.35, n = 37 and ≤ 0.35, n = 24). Using multivariate analysis, the RPV ratio as well as pre-, peri- and postoperative PEI risk factors were independently assessed.RESULTS:
The multivariate analysis revealed that a low RPV ratio (odds ratio [OR], 5.911; p = 0.001), a hard pancreatic texture (OR, 3.313; p = 0.023) and TNM stage III/IV (OR, 3.515; p = 0.031) were strong predictors of the incidence of PEI.CONCLUSIONS:
The present study indicates that the RPV ratio is an additional useful predictor of postoperative nutrition status in pancreatic cancer patients.Palavras-chave
