RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: In select clinical scenarios, advanced techniques for volume manipulation and vascular reconstruction are needed for complete hepatic tumor removal. These highly complex liver resections (HCLRs) entail a heightened risk of severe complications. Here, we describe the results of HCLR performed in a 3-year time period. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis encompassing patients who underwent hepatic resections between June 15, 2020, and June 15, 2023. HCLR was defined according to previously established criteria, and included associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy. The outcomes of HCLR were compared to all non-HCLR performed within the same time frame. RESULTS: Among 167 hepatic resections, 26 were considered HCLR, and all were major resections. Five utilized total vascular exclusion, with venovenous bypass in three, and hypothermic liver perfusion in three. Five resections included vascular reconstructions, and one included hypothermic circulatory arrest for extraction of a tumor extending to the right atrium. Of the non-HCLR, 38 (26.9%) were major, and 49 (34.7%) were performed laparoscopically. The rates of overall major postoperative complications were comparable between those who underwent HCLR versus non-HCLR. HCLR was associated with increased rates of biliary complications, readmissions, and reoperation. However, no postoperative 90-day mortality was documented within patients that underwent HCLR compared to two in the non-HCLR group. CONCLUSIONS: In expert hands, HCLR can be performed with acceptable complication profile, akin to that of major non-HCLR. Those with questionable resectability should be referred to tertiary hepato-pancreato-biliary centers.

INTRODUCTION: Hepatectomies associated with vascular resections pose a technical challenge for surgeons, involving multiple reconstruction techniques. Moreover, adding clinical and surgical risks in the postoperative setting of these complex procedures are mainly due to prolonged surgical periods and potential complications inherent to vascular manipulation. Leveraging the expertise of a Cancer Center, we propose an institutional assessment utilizing the case series from A. C. Camargo Cancer Center in hepatectomies associated with vascular resection, evaluating postoperative complications and outcomes while highlighting clinical, laboratory, pathological, and surgical factors that may influence results. OBJECTIVE: To assess mortality and morbidity associated with hepatectomies involving vascular resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From a prospective database, a study was performed evaluating postoperative survival and morbidity using scoring systems such as Clavien-Dindo through a cohort analysis. RESULTS: From a total of 1021 liver resections for a period of 10 years, 31 cases were evaluated from a unique cancer center in Brazil! Factors such as the performance of major hepatectomies, the need for blood transfusion, and the administration of neoadjuvant or adjuvant systemic therapy did not appear to influence the outcome of morbidity or mortality. However, the resection of the associated bile duct and the type of vascular resection seemed to influence morbidity outcomes with statistical significance (p = 0.006+ ). CONCLUSION: Hepatectomies associated with vascular resections are safe in selected cases and when performed in referral centers. Factors such as associated bile duct resection and type of vascular resection should be considered for procedure indication.
RESUMO
Vascular resections involving the superior mesenteric and portal veins (SMV-PV), celiac axis (CA), superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and hepatic artery (HA) have multiplied in recent years, raising the resection rate for pancreatic cancer (PDAC) and the related morbidity and mortality rates. While resection is generally accepted for resectable SMV-PV, the usefulness of associated arterial resection in borderline resectable (BRPC) and locally-advanced PDAC (LAPC) is much debated. Careful selection of splenic vein reconstruction is very important to prevent left-sided portal hypertension (LSPH). During distal pancreatectomy (DP), CA and common HA resection is largely accepted, while there is debate on the value of SMA and proper HA resection and reconstruction. Their resection is useless according to several reviews and meta-analyses, and some international societies, although some high-volume centers have reported good results. Short- and long-term reconstructed vessel patency varies with the type of reconstruction, the material used, and the surgeon's experience. Laparoscopic and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy and DP are generally accepted if done by surgeons performing at least 10 such procedures annually. The usefulness of associated vascular resection remains highly controversial. Surgeons need to complete numerous minimally-invasive procedures to overcome the learning curve, and prevent an increase in complications and surgical mortality. Higher resectability rates and satisfactory long-term results have been reported after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for BRPC and LAPC requiring vascular resection. It is essential to select the most appropriate NAT for a given patient and to assess PDAC resectability preoperatively.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Surgery is the mainstay of treatment and completeness of surgical resection is critical to achieve local control for retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). En-bloc resection of adjacent organs, including major abdominal vessels, is often required to achieve negative margins. The aim of this review was to summarise the available evidence to assess the relative benefits and disadvantages of an aggressive surgical approach with vascular resection in patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). METHODS: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE for relevant studies published from inception up to August 1, 2022. We performed a systematic review of the available studies to assess the safety and long-term survival results of vascular resection for RPS. RESULTS: We identified a total of 23 studies for our review. Overall postoperative in-hospital or 30-day mortality rate of patients with primary iliocaval leiomyosarcoma was 3% (11/359), and the major complication rate was 13%. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates after the follow-up period varied between 15% and 52%, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates ranged from 25 to 78%. Overall postoperative in-hospital or 30-day mortality rate of patients with RPSs receiving vascular resection was 3%, and the major complication rate was 27%. The RFS rates after the follow-up period were 18-86%, and the 5-year OS rates varied between 50% and 73%. There were no significant differences in the rates of RFS (HR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.74-1.19; p = 0.945) and OS (HR: 1.01; 95% CI: 0.66-1.36; p = 0.774) between the extended resection group and tumour resection alone group. CONCLUSIONS: With adequate preparation and proper management, for patients with RPSs involving major vessels, aggressive surgical approach with vascular resection can achieve R0/R1 resection and improve survival.

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.

PURPOSE: Extended resections in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery frequently require vascular resection to obtain tumor clearance. The use of alloplastic grafts may increase postoperative morbidity due to septic or thrombotic complications. The use of suitable autologous venous interponates (internal jugular vein, great saphenous vein) is frequently associated with additional incisions. The aim of this study was to report on our experience with venous reconstruction using the introperative easily available parietal peritoneum, focusing on key technical aspects. METHODS: All patients who underwent HPB resections with venous reconstruction using peritoneal patches at our department between January 2017 and November 2021 were included in this retrospective analysis with median follow-up of 2 months (IQR: 1-8 months). We focused on technical aspects of the procedure and evaluated vascular patency and perioperative morbidity. RESULTS: Parietal peritoneum patches (PPPs) were applied for reconstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) (13 patients) and portal vein (PV) (4 patients) during major hepatic (n = 14) or pancreatic (n = 2) resections. There were no cases of postoperative bleeding due to anastomotic leakage. Following PV reconstruction, two patients showed postoperative vascular stenosis after severe pancreatitis with postoperative pancreatic fistula and bile leakage, respectively. In patients with reconstruction of the IVC, no relevant perioperative vascular complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a peritoneal patch for reconstruction of the IVC in HPB surgery is a feasible, effective, and low-cost alternative to alloplastic, xenogenous, or venous grafts. The graft can be easily harvested and tailored to the required size. More evidence is still needed to confirm the safety of this procedure for the portal vein regarding long-term results.

PURPOSE: Venous resection and reconstruction (VR) is a feasible surgical technique to achieve optimal outcomes in selected patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who undergo open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). However, data regarding patient outcomes in patients who undergo VR in robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) are scarce. METHODS: All patients with a diagnosis of PDAC who underwent upfront open or robotic pancreatoduodenectomy with VR in a high-volume institution for pancreatic surgery between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Perioperative and long-term outcomes were compared between the RPD and OPD cohorts. RESULTS: A total of 84 patients were included in the final analysis, 14 patients underwent RPD with VR and 70 who had OPD with VR. Reconstructed venous patency, postoperative 30-day morbidity, and 90-day mortality were comparable; however, lymph node resection rates were lower in the RPC cohort (p = 0.029). No difference was identified in 3-year survival rates between the two groups (34.0% versus 25.7% respectively, p = 0.667). CONCLUSION: RPD with VR is a feasible approach for patients with PDAC and venous invasion. Further studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes compared to the open approach.

Background: Minimally invasive pancreatic pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) is increasingly adopted worldwide and its potential advantages include reduced hospital stay and decrease pain. However, evidence supporting the role of MIPD for tumours requiring vascular reconstruction remains limited and requires further evaluation. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of MIPD with vascular resection (MIPDV) by performing a 1:1 propensity-score matched (PSM) comparison with open pancreatoduodenectomy with vascular resection (OPDV) based on a single surgeon's experience. Methods: This is a retrospective review of 41 patients who underwent PDV between 2011 and 2020 by a single surgeon. After PSM, the comparison was made between 13 MIPDV and 13 OPDV. Results: Thirty-six patients underwent venous reconstruction (VR) only and 5 underwent arterial reconstruction of which 4 had concomitant VR. The types of VR included 22 wedge resections with primary repair, 8 segmental resections with primary anastomosis and 11 requiring interposition grafts. Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurred in 3 (7.3%) patients. Major complications (>Grade 2) occurred in 16 (39%) patients, of which 7 were due to delayed gastric emptying requiring nasojejunal tube placement. There was 1 (2.4%) 30-day mortality (OPDV). Of the 13 MIPDV, there were 3 (23.1%) open conversions. PSM comparison demonstrated that MIPDV was associated with longer median operative time (720 min vs. 485 min (P = 0.018). There was no statistically significant difference in other key perioperative outcomes such as intra-operative blood loss, overall morbidity, major morbidity rate, POPF and length of stay. Conclusion: Our initial experience with the adoption MIPDV has demonstrated it to be safe with comparable outcomes to OPDV despite the longer operation time.
RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of total hilar en bloc resection and reconstruction(THERR) and portal vein resection and reconstruction(PVRR) in treatment of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma(PHC). Methods: Data of a total of 101 consecutive patients with PHC who underwent bile duct resection with various types of hepatectomies from June 2013 to December 2019 at Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary,Lihuili Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who underwent PHC resection combined with THERR or PVRR were identified and grouped accordingly. Fourteen patients(6 males, 8 females, aged (64.3±9.7)years old) underwent hepatectomy combined with THERR, 19 patients(11 males, 8 females, aged (63.8±8.6)years old) underwent hepatectomy combined with PVRR. Indications and surgical procedures of THERR and PVRR were reported. The clinicopathological characteristics and operation data, as well as the short and long-term outcomes of patients of the two groups were compared by Student's t-test and the χ2 test or Fisher exact test, respectively. The actual survivals rates were calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method, and compared using the Log-rank test. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in respect to age,sex and whether they had preoperative biliary drainage or not. The types of combined hepatectomy carried out predominately between the two groups were statistically different with the left side being predominant in the THERR group(10/14,P=0.010) and right side in PVRR group(12/19,P=0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups in respect to whether they received preoperative portal vein embolization,intraoperative blood loss,curative degree,number of lymph node dissections, and whether there was lymphatic metastasis or not. However, both the times of operation and continuous Pringle maneuver were statistically longer in the THERR group((586±158)minutes and (32.5±7.3)minutes)than those in the PVRR group((453±88)minutes and (12.4±3.8)minutes),respectively(t=3.087,P=0.004;t=10.325,P<0.01). One patient in the THERR group died of liver failure 9 days postoperative, the cumulative 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 84.9%, 57.1% and 37.0% for the THERR group and 81.9%, 37.8% and 30.2% for the PVRR group, respectively. There was no statistically significant differences between the two groups(χ²=0.150,P=0.698). Conclusions: Compared to the role of PVRR in the treatment of PHC, THERR is a novel and technically demanding procedure that is feasible in selected patients for the treatment of advanced PHC with invasion of both the hepatic artery and portal vein. However,due to the small size of this primary study,the value of THERR needs further evaluation.

AIM: Currently, there is no clear consensus on the role of extended pelvic resections for locally advanced or recurrent disease involving major vascular structures. The aims of this study were to report the outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing extended resections for pelvic malignancy involving the aortoiliac axis. METHODS: Prospective data were collected on patients having extended radical resections for locally advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancies, with aortoiliac axis involvement, requiring en bloc vascular resection and reconstruction, at a single institution between 2014 and 2018. RESULTS: Eleven patients were included (median age 60 years; range 31-69 years; seven women). The majority required resection of both arterial and venous systems (n = 8), and the technique for vascular reconstruction was either interposition grafts or femoral-femoral crossover grafts. The median operative time was 510 min (range 330-960 min). Clear resection margins (R0) were achieved in nine patients. The median length of stay was 25 days (range 7-83 days). Seven patients did not suffer an early complication. There was one serious complication (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3), an arterial graft occlusion secondary to thrombus in the immediate postoperative period, requiring a return to theatre and thrombectomy. The median length of follow-up in this study was 22 months (range 4-58 months). CONCLUSION: This series demonstrates that en bloc major vascular resection and reconstruction can be performed safely and can achieve clear resection margins in selected patients with locally advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancy at specialist surgery centres.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy with synchronous vein resection for pancreatic cancer is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes and describe the surgical technique of 3d-laparoscopic pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (3dLPD) with venous resection for pancreatic cancer. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed with 26 patients [male/female 11/15; median age 68 (range 45-83) years] who underwent 3dLPD with stented pancreaticogastrostomy and superior mesenteric or portal vein resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma between November 2016 and June 2019. Median follow-up time after surgery was 12 months (range 3-32). RESULTS: Median operating time was 340 min (range 240-420) and intra-operative blood loss was 100 mL (range 0-1000). Type of venous resection and reconstruction was wedge-resection with primary closure (n = 22), wedge-resection with reconstruction using a peritoneal patch (n = 3), and segmental resection with primary end-to-end reconstruction (n = 1). Laparoscopy was converted to open surgery in 4 (15%) patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 10 (38%) patients including severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade > 2) in 4 (15%). Postoperative mortality was zero. R0 resection was achieved in 21 (81%) patients. Median number of lymph nodes retrieved was 25 (range 10-45). Venous patency was observed in 23 (88%) patients with a median patency duration of 11 months (range 0-31). CONCLUSIONS: 3dLPD with simultaneous venous resection for pancreatic cancer results in acceptable reconstruction patency and adequacy of surgical oncology without compromising clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Venous resection with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) increases resectability rates in patients with adenocarcinoma of head of pancreas. The effect of extent of portal vein resection on perioperative morbidity and mortality is less clear. This retrospective cohort study compares results of PD with and without venous resection and explores the influence of extent of vein resection on perioperative morbidity and mortality. METHODS: Total 96 patients underwent standard PD (PD) and 20 patients had en bloc venous resections (VR). VR group was divided into segmental (VR-S) (6/20 patients) and tangential (VR-T) (14/20 patients) groups based on segmental or tangential type of venous resections. The groups were compared for morbidity, mortality and survival. RESULTS: PD and VR groups had comparable perioperative morbidity (p = 0.140) and mortality (p = 0.358) with a significantly higher operative time in VR (p < 0.001). Perioperative morbidity and mortality were similar in VR-S and VR-T groups (p = 0.690 and p = 0.157 respectively). Operative time and estimated blood loss were significantly higher in VR-S group over VR-T (p = 0.019 and p = 0.002 respectively). Median survival was similar for PD and VR (15 and 15.5 moths respectively; p = 0.278) and VR-S and VR-T groups (17 and 12.5 months respectively; p = 0.550). Expected blood loss and operative time were found to be independent predictors of morbidity. CONCLUSIONS: Venous resection with PD is associated with morbidity, mortality and overall survival comparable to that after standard resection. The extent of venous resection does not seem to affect perioperative morbidity and mortality.

OBJECTIVE: Vascular invasion is no longer considered to be an absolute contraindication to tumor removal, and complex reconstructions are part of the daily activity of vascular surgeons in specialized cancer centers. Our aim was to report a single-center experience of complex vascular reconstructions involving en bloc resection of tumors and patients' long-term survival and graft patency outcomes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest report of vascular reconstructions published to date, with the longest follow-up. METHODS: Between September 1997 and January 2016, there were 91 patients who underwent 92 arterial and 47 venous reconstruction procedures in this retrospective cohort study. Long-term survival and patency outcomes were analyzed for all study patients and individually assessed in different body segments (head and neck, thorax, upper limbs, abdomen, and lower limbs). RESULTS: The estimated mean and median follow-up times were 112.66 and 100 months, respectively. The 24- and 60-month survival estimates for the patients overall were 55.3% and 31.1%, respectively. Survival estimates were significantly lower in the head and neck cases compared with the other body segments. The primary arterial patency rates at 24 and 60 months were 96.7% and 84.9%, respectively, and they were similar in all body segments. The venous patency rates were 71.4% and 64.2% at 24 and 60 months, respectively. Seven cases (7.6%) of arterial vascular complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Vascular reconstruction performed in conjunction with oncologic resection is a feasible treatment option for tumors with vessel involvement. When surgery is performed in specialized centers, low perioperative morbidity and long-term patency rates are expected irrespective of the vascular territory undergoing intervention.

OBJECTIVE: To define preoperative clinical and radiographic risk factors for the need of inferior vena cava (IVC) resection in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and IVC tumor thrombus. METHODS: We reviewed data of 121 patients with renal cell carcinoma and venous tumor thrombus receiving radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy at our institution between 2015 and 2017, and 86 patients with Mayo I-IV level tumor thrombus were included in the final analysis. Clinical features, operation details, and pathology data were collected. Preoperative images were reviewed separately by two radiologists. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were applied to evaluate clinical and radiographic risk factors of IVC resection. RESULTS: Of the 86 patients, 44 (51.2%) received IVC resection during thrombectomy. In univariate analysis, we found that body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR] = 1.22, P = 0.003), primary tumor diameter (OR = 0.84, P = 0.022), tumor thrombus width (OR = 1.08, P = 0.037), tumor thrombus level (OR = 1.57, P = 0.030), and IVC occlusion (OR = 2.67, P = 0.038) were associated with the need for resection of the IVC. After adjusting for the other factors, BMI (OR = 1.18, P = 0.019) was the only significant risk factor for IVC resection. Multivariable analysis in Mayo II-IV subgroups confirmed BMI as an independent risk factor (OR = 1.26, P = 0.024). A correlation between BMI and the width (Pearson's correlation coefficient [PCC] = 0.27, P = 0.014) and length (PCC = 0.23, P = 0.037) of the tumor thrombus was noticed. CONCLUSION: We identified BMI as an independent risk factor for IVC resection during thrombectomy of RCC with tumor thrombus in a Chinese population. More careful preoperative preparation for the IVC resection and/or reconstruction is warranted in patients with higher BMI.

BACKGROUND: Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer may require extended resections in order to achieve tumor-free margins, especially in the case of up-front resections, but it is important to know the limits of surgical therapy in this disease. This study aimed to investigate the impact of extent of pancreatic and venous resection on short- and long-term outcomes in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS: This was a retrospective study from a prospectively maintained database of pancreatic resections for PDAC. Short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed in patients having borderline resectable PDAC submitted to up-front total pancreatectomy (TP) or pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with simultaneous portal vein (PV) and/or superior mesenteric vein (SMV) resection. Venous resections were carried out as tangential venous resection (TVR) or segmental venous resection (SVR). Patients were divided into 4 groups: (1) PD + TVR, (2) PD + SVR, (3) TP + TVR, (4) TP + SVR. Uni- and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to identify factors associated with survival. RESULTS: Ninety-nine patients were submitted to simultaneous pancreatic and venous resection for PDAC. Among them, 25 were submitted to PD + TVR (25.3%), 12 to PD + SVR (12.1%), 23 to TP + TVR (23.2%), and 39 to TP + SVR (39.4%). Overall, major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ IIIA) was 26.3%. Thirty- and 90-day mortality were 3% and 11.1%, respectively. There were no significant differences among groups in terms of short-term outcomes. Median overall survival of patients submitted to PD + TVR was significantly higher than those to TP+SVR (29.5 vs 7.9 months, Pâ¯=â¯0.001). Multivariate analysis identified TP (HR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.31-3.44; Pâ¯=â¯0.002) and SVR (HR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.27-3.15; Pâ¯=â¯0.003) as the only independent prognostic factors for overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Up-front TP associated to SVR was predictive of worse survival in borderline resectable PDAC. Perioperative treatments in high-risk surgical groups may improve such poor outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Recently, there have been several reports on minimally-invasive surgery for extended pancreatectomy (MIEP) in the literature. However, to date, only a limited number of studies reporting on the outcomes of MIEP have been published. In the present study, we report our initial experience with MIEP defined according to the latest the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISPGS) guidelines. METHODS: Over a 14-month period, a total of 6 consecutive MIEP performed by a single surgeon at a tertiary institution were identified from a prospectively maintained surgical database. EP was defined as per the 2014 ISPGS consensus. Hybrid pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was defined as when the entire resection was completed through minimally-invasive surgery, and the reconstruction was performed open through a mini-laparotomy incision. RESULTS: Six cases were performed including 2 robotic extended subtotal pancreatosplenectomies with gastric resection, 1 laparoscopic-assisted (hybrid) extended PD with superior mesenteric vein wedge resection, 2 robotic-assisted (hybrid) PD with portal vein resection (1 interposition Polytetrafluoroethylene graft reconstruction and 1 wedge resection) and 1 totally robotic PD with wedge resection of portal vein. Median estimated blood loss was 400 (250-1500) ml and median operative time was 713 (400-930) min. Median post-operative stay was 9 (6-36) days. There was 1 major morbidity (Grade 3b) in a patient who developed early post-operative intestinal obstruction secondary to port site herniation necessitating repeat laparoscopic surgery. There were no open conversions and no in-hospital mortalities. CONCLUSION: Based on our initial experience, MIEP although technically challenging and associated with long operative times, is feasible and safe in highly selected cases.
RESUMO
Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) frequently involve major vessels, which either originate from them or secondarily encase or invade them. In this field, major vascular resections result in increased morbidity. However, survival does not seem to be affected by the need for vascular resection or by this higher morbidity. This paper aims to provide descriptions of the surgical strategy and outcomes for retroperitoneal sarcomas involving major vessels.

BACKGROUND: Margin negative resection offers the best chance of long-term survival in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). En-bloc resection of adjacent structures, including the inferior vena cava (IVC), is often required to achieve negative margins. We review our 20-year experience of en-bloc IVC and RPS resection. METHODS: Retrospective review of patients with RPS resection involving the IVC were matched 1:3 by age and histology to RPS without IVC resection. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) were assessed. RESULTS: Thirty-two patients underwent RPS resection en-bloc with IVC. They were matched with 96 cases of RPS without IVC resection. Median OS of 59 months and DFS 18 months in IVC resection group was comparable to RPS resection without vascular involvement: median OS 65 months, DFS 18 months (P = 0.519, P = 0.604). On multivariate analyses, R2 margin (OS: HR = 6.52 [95%CI: 1.18-36.09], P = 0.032) was associated with inferior OS. R2 margin and increased number of organs resected (DFS: HR = 5.07, [1.15-22.27], P = 0.031, HR = 1.28 [1.01-1.62], P = 0.014) were associated with inferior DFS. Reconstructions included graft (n = 19, 59%), patch (n = 4, 13%), primary repair (n = 6, 19%), and ligation (n = 4, 13%). CONCLUSIONS: RPS resection en-bloc with IVC can achieve equivalent rates of DFS and OS to patients without vascular involvement.

BACKGROUND: There are few reports about resection of portal vein (PV)/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and reconstruction by using allogeneic vein. This case-control study was designed to explore the feasibility and safety of this operation type in patients with T3 stage pancreatic head cancer. METHODS: A total of 42 patients (Group A) underwent PV/SMV resection and reconstruction by using allogeneic vein were 1:1 matched to 42 controls (Group B) with other types of resection and reconstruction. The two groups were well matched. RESULTS: There was no significantly prolonged total operation time (Group A vs. Group B [490.0 min vs. 470 min], P = 0.067) and increased intraoperative blood loss (Group A vs. Group B [650.0 min vs. 450 min], P = 0.108) was found between the two groups. R1 rate of PV/SMV was slightly reduced in group A compared to group B (4.8% vs. 14.3%, P = 0.137), although no significant difference was found. The incidences of main postoperative complications between the two groups were similar. A slightly increased 1-year and 2-year overall survival rate (OS) (Group A vs. Group B [1-year OS: 62.9% vs. 57.0%; 2-year OS: 31.5% vs. 25.6%], P = 0.501) and disease-free survival rate (DFS) (Group A vs. Group B [1-year DFS: 43.9% vs. 36.6%; 2-year DFS: 10.5% vs. 7.4%], P = 0.502) could be found in group A compared to group B, although the differences were not significant. CONCLUSIONS: The operation types of PV/SMV resection and reconstruction by using allogeneic vein is safety and feasible, it might have a potential benefit for patients.

BACKGROUND: The en bloc resection of the superior mesenteric or portal vein with concomitant venous reconstruction may be required in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. However, performing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) with major venous resection and reconstruction is technically challenging. Herein, we introduced a safe and feasible technique to perform LPD with major venous resection. METHODS: Over the period of November 2015 to November 2016, 18 patients underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy with major venous resection and reconstruction using the anterior superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-first approach at our institution. Demographic characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative variables, and follow-up outcomes were prospectively collected. RESULTS: Eighteen male and ten female patients were included in this study. The median age of the patients was 58 years (range 49-76 years). Eight cases of wage resections, six cases of end-to-end anastomosis, and four cases of artificial grafts were performed in our series. Only one patient (5.6%) required conversion because of uncontrolled bleeding from the splenic vein. The average operative time was 448 min (range 420-570 min). The mean time for blood occlusion was 32 min, including 17 min for wage resections, 28 min for end-to-end anastomosis, and 48 min for artificial grafts. Thirty-day mortality was not observed in our series. The median postoperative hospital stay was 13 days (range 9-18 days). Three patients suffered from pancreatic fistula (Grade A), and one suffered from abdominal bleeding after subcutaneous injection with low-molecular heparin. In this case, abdominal bleeding was stopped through conservative therapies. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy with major venous resection and reconstruction can be safely and feasibly performed. The anterior SMA-first approach can facilitate this procedure and decrease operative time and blood occlusion duration.
