ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Difficulties in distinguishing fibrosis from tumor in borderline and locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) justify surgical exploration to assess resectability. This issue is especially relevant after neoadjuvant treatments (NAT) prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) although outcomes of aborted PD are unknown.OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to evaluate early outcomes after aborted PD in patients with PDAC.METHODS:
Data were collected over a ten-year period, in three University Hospitals in France. Perioperative patient management was similar. The causes of intraoperative PD abortions were recorded, and outcomes of patients who underwent early (metastases, carcinomatosis) and late (following extensive vascular dissection) PD abortion were compared.RESULTS:
Of 774 PD for PDAC, 131 (17%) were aborted. 97 (74%) patients underwent early PD abortion due to carcinomatosis (n = 14; 14%), liver metastases (n = 32; 33%), aortocaval lymph node invasion (n = 28; 29%) and massive vascular extension (n = 23; 24%). Late PD abortion occurred after extensive vascular dissection in 34 (26%) patients due to invasion of the common hepatic (n = 16; 47%), superior mesenteric (n = 5; 15%) and right hepatic (n = 1; 3%) arteries and nonreconstructable venous invasion (n = 12; 35%). Patients who underwent late PD abortion had higher rates of overall morbidity (n = 22; 65% vs n = 27; 28%, p = 0.0001), severe complications (n = 14; 41% vs n = 11; 11%, p = 0.0005), mortality (n = 4; 12% vs n = 0; 0%, p = 0.003). They also had higher rates of delayed gastric emptying (n = 11; 32% vs n = 6; 6%, p = 0.0003), deep space infections (n = 10; 29% vs n = 7; 7%, p = 0.002), wound infections (n = 5; 15% vs n = 4; 4%, p = 0.05), and bleeding (n = 8; 24% vs n = 0; 0%, p < 0.0001).CONCLUSION:
Aborted PD after extensive vascular dissection has high morbidity and mortality rates. Appropriate information and counseling should be delivered to patients with borderline/locally advanced PDAC considered for PD.Palabras clave
