Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the outcomes of second pancreatectomy for the treatment of recurrent pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the remnant pancreas.

Method: Search of the PubMed database was undertaken to identify relevant English language studies. Pooled individually data were examined for clinical outcomes after second pancreatectomy for recurrent PDAC.

Results: A total of 19 articles involving 55 patients were eligible for inclusion. The median disease-free interval after initial resection was 33 (range 7-143) months. Of the 55 patients reported, 52 (94.5%) patients underwent completion total pancreatectomy in the second operation for recurrences, including 15 patients who developed recurrences more than 5 years after the initial operation. There was no perioperative death. The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rate after the second pancreatectomy was 82.2%, 49.2% and 40.6% respectively.

Conclusion: Second pancreatectomy for recurrent PDAC can be performed safely with long-term survival in selected patients.

Background: Modern pancreatic surgery has gradually changed with the introduction of neoadjuvant therapy. For patients with pancreatic cancer involving peripancreatic visceral arteries who have received neoadjuvant therapy, periarterial divestment has gradually gained popularity, which represents an alternative to arterial resection. There is ongoing debate about whether this approach achieves curative tumor resection comparable to that of arterial resection, and the differences in terms of postoperative complications and oncologic outcomes between the 2 surgical procedures.

Distal Pancreatectomy with Celiac Axis and Venous Resection with Hepatic Artery and Venous Reconstruction (DP-CARV) for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

Background: Surgery has recently been introduced into the multimodal management of patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas (LAPCs) thanks to the major pathological response seen with the advent of the multiagent regimen FOLFIRINOX. Distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) may be complicated by ischemic liver and gastric events. Common hepatic artery reconstruction may prevent the occurrence of ischemic complications and can be an alternative to preoperative embolization of the celiac trunk.

Background: Indocyanine green is commonly used for laparoscopic hepatectomy but remains uncommon in pancreatic surgery. Given the increasing number of small neuroendocrine tumors found in the pancreas and the heavy reliance on laparoscopic ultrasound for intraoperative localization, we attempted to use indocyanine green for these tumors. Our results show good localization and have the potential to provide a valuable clinical aid.
