The efficacy and outcomes of laparoscopic resection for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are well established; however, specific data regarding the outcomes of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (L-PD) are limited. The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical and oncological outcomes following L-PD versus open PD (O-PD) in patients with PNETs.
This retrospective study included 149 patients with PNETs who underwent PD at the Asan Medical Center between January 2006 and December 2017. In 58 patients, a laparoscopic approach was used (L-PD group), and in 91, an open technique was used (O-PD group).
The mean operative time was longer in the L-PD group than in the O-PD group (417.4 min vs. 362.2 min; p = 0.002), and the mean duration of postoperative stay was shorter in the L-PD group (12.6 days vs. 17.8 days; p < 0.001). The estimated blood loss (433.2 ml vs. 415.0 ml; p = 0.824) and the overall complication rate (34.5% vs. 38.5%; p = 0.624) did not significantly differ between the two groups. Regarding the oncological outcomes, there were no significant differences in the resection margins, tumor size, tumor grading, or T/N stage. The number of harvested lymph nodes in the L-PD group was lower than that in the O-PD group (7.1 vs. 10.8; p = 0.002). The 3-year overall survival rate was 91.9% in the L-PD group and 93.6% in the O-PD group (p = 0.974). The 3-year disease-free survival rate was 94.8% in the L-PD group and 86.7% in the O-PD group (p = 0.225).
L-PD is feasible for the treatment of PNETs in selected patients and has the advantages of short recovery time and reduced hospital stay. The survival rate was similar in both groups; however, due to the difference in the harvested lymph nodes, a randomized trial should confirm the oncological safety of L-PD for PNETs.
腹腔镜切除胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(PNETs)的疗效和结果已得到充分证实;然而,关于腹腔镜胰十二指肠切除术(L-PD)结果的具体数据有限。本研究的目的是比较 L-PD 与开放胰十二指肠切除术(O-PD)治疗 PNET 患者的临床和肿瘤学结果。
本回顾性研究纳入了 2006 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月期间在 Asan 医疗中心接受 PD 的 149 例 PNET 患者。其中 58 例采用腹腔镜方法(L-PD 组),91 例采用开放技术(O-PD 组)。
L-PD 组的手术时间长于 O-PD 组(417.4 分钟 vs. 362.2 分钟;p=0.002),L-PD 组的术后住院时间短于 O-PD 组(12.6 天 vs. 17.8 天;p<0.001)。两组的估计出血量(433.2ml vs. 415.0ml;p=0.824)和总并发症发生率(34.5% vs. 38.5%;p=0.624)无显著差异。在肿瘤学结果方面,两组的切缘、肿瘤大小、肿瘤分级或 T/N 分期无显著差异。L-PD 组的淋巴结采集数量少于 O-PD 组(7.1 个 vs. 10.8 个;p=0.002)。L-PD 组的 3 年总生存率为 91.9%,O-PD 组为 93.6%(p=0.974)。L-PD 组的 3 年无病生存率为 94.8%,O-PD 组为 86.7%(p=0.225)。
在选择的患者中,L-PD 治疗 PNET 是可行的,具有恢复时间短和住院时间短的优点。两组的生存率相似;然而,由于淋巴结采集的差异,应进行随机试验以确认 L-PD 治疗 PNET 的肿瘤学安全性。
