Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection(DP-CAR). Methods: A total of 89 consecutive patients (50 males and 39 females) who were diagnosed with pancreatic body cancer and underwent DP-CAR in Pancreas Center,First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between September 2013 and June 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 50 males and 39 females,with age(M(IQR)) of 63(12) years(range:43 to 81 years). Perioperative parameters,pathology results and follow-up data of these patients were analyzed,χ2 or Fisher's test for categorical data while the Wilcoxon test for quantitative data. Survival results were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier survival method. Results: Among 89 cases,cases combined with portal vein-superior mesenteric vein or organ resection accounted for 22.5% (20/89) and 42.7% (38/89),respectively. The operative time,blood loss and postoperative hospital stay were 270 (110) minutes,300 (300) ml and 13 (10) days,respectively. The overall morbidity rate was 67.4% (60/89) while the major morbidity was 11.2% (10/89). The increase rate in transient liver enzymes was 42.7% (38/89),3.4% (3/89) for liver failure,53.9% (48/89) for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula,1.1% (1/89) for bile leak,3.4% (3/89) for chylous leak of grade B and C,11.2% (10/89) for abdominal infection,9.0% (8/89) for postoperative hemorrhage of grade B and C,4.5% (4/89) for delayed gastric emptying,6.7% (6/89) for deep vein thrombosis,3.4% (3/89) for reoperation,4.5% (4/89)for hospital mortality,7.9% (7/89) for 90-day mortality. The pathological type was pancreatic cancer for all 89 cases and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma made up 92.1% (82/89). The tumor size was 4.8(2.0) cm, ranging from 1.5 to 12.0 cm. The number of lymph nodes harvested was 14 (13)(range:2 to 33),with a positive lymph node rate of 13.0% (24.0%). The resection R0 rate was 30.0% (24/80) and the R1 (<1 mm) rate was 58.8% (47/80). The median overall survival time was 21.3 months (95%CI: 15.6 to 24.3) and the median disease-free survival time was 19.1 months (95%CI: 11.7 to 25.1). The overall survival at 1-year and 2-year were 69.60% and 39.52%. The median survival time of 58 patients with adjuvant chemotherapy was 24.3 months (95%CI: 17.8 to 32.3) while that of 13 patients without any kind of adjuvant therapy was 8.4 months (95%CI: 7.3 to 22.3). Seven patients accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy and there was no significant morbidity among them,with a resection rate of R0 of 5/7. Conclusion: DP-CAR is safe and feasible for selective cases,which could be more valuable in improving long-term survival when combined with (neo) adjuvant therapy.

目的: 探讨联合腹腔干切除的胰体尾癌根治术(DP-CAR)治疗胰腺颈体癌的临床效果。 方法: 回顾性分析2013年9月至2022年6月南京医科大学第一附属医院胰腺中心连续收治的89例因胰腺颈体癌行DP-CAR治疗的患者资料。男性50例,女性39例;年龄[M(IQR)]63(12)岁(范围:43~81岁)。分类资料采用χ2检验或Fisher确切概率法分析,定量资料以秩和检验分析,以Kaplan-Meier法绘制生存曲线并估计中位生存时间。 结果: 89例DP-CAR中,联合门静脉-肠系膜上静脉切除重建20例(22.5%)、联合器官切除38例(42.7%);手术时间270(110)min(范围:143~530 min),术中出血量300(300)ml(范围:50~2 500 ml),术后住院时间13(10)d(范围:7~101 d)。总体并发症发生率为67.4%(60/89),其中Clavien-Dindo并发症分级系统≥Ⅲ级10例(11.2%),术后出现一过性肝脏转氨酶升高38例(42.7%)、肝功能衰竭3例(3.4%)、B级和C级胰瘘48例(53.9%)、胆瘘1例(1.1%)、B级和C级乳糜瘘3例(3.4%)、腹腔感染10例(11.2%)、B级和C级术后出血8例(9.0%)、胃排空延迟4例(4.5%)、深静脉血栓形成6例(6.7%),再手术3例(3.4%)。住院期间死亡4例(4.5%),术后90 d内死亡7例(7.9%)。89例均为胰腺癌,其中胰腺导管腺癌占92.1%(82/89);肿瘤最大径4.8(2.0)cm(范围:1.5~12.0 cm),共清扫淋巴结14(13)枚(范围:2~33枚),淋巴结阳性率为13.0%(24.0%);R0切除率为30.0%(24/80)、R1(<1 mm)切除率为58.8%(47/80);术后中位生存时间为21.3个月(95%CI:15.6~24.3个月),中位无病生存时间为19.1个月(95%CI:11.7~25.1个月),术后1年总体生存率为69.60%,术后2年总体生存率为39.52%。58例术后行辅助化疗者的中位生存时间为24.3个月(95%CI:17.8~32.3个月),13例术后未行化疗或其他辅助治疗者的中位生存时间为8.4个月(95%CI:7.3~22.3个月);7例患者于术前行新辅助化疗,无Clavien-Dindo并发症分级系统Ⅲ级以上并发症发生,R0切除率为5/7。 结论: 对选择性的胰腺颈体癌病例,联合腹腔干切除的胰体尾癌根治术是可行的,(新)辅助治疗可能可以改善患者的术后生存。.
