Introduction: The main objective of this study was to analyse the results of the surgical treatment of ampullary neuroendocrine tumours (NET) based on transduodenal ampullectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy, in a reference centre in hepatobiliopancreatic pathology.

Method: Retrospective, observational study, including all patients operated on for pancreatic and/or duodenal NET in a reference unit of hepatobiliopancreatic pathology and prospectively registered between January 1st, 1993 and September 30th, 2021. For those parameters not present, retrospective research was performed. Demographic, clinical, analytical and pathological data were analysed. A descriptive study was carried out. Overall and disease-free survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves and the Log-Rank test.

Results: Of 181 patients operated on for pancreatic and/or duodenal NET, only 9 were located in the ampulla of Vater, which represents 4.9% of all pancreatic and/or duodenal NET. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was performed in 6 patients, while 3 patients underwent transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA). Longer surgical time and more postoperative complications were observed in the PD group. There were no differences in hospital stay. Overall and disease-free survival at 5 years in the PD group compared to ATD was 83.3% vs. 100% and 50% vs. 100%, respectively.

Conclusions: Ampullary NET without locoregional involvement or risk factors, can be treated by conservative surgeries such as transduodenal ampullectomy.

Ampullary composite gangliocytoma/neuroma and neuroendocrine tumor (CoGNET), previously called ampullary gangliocytic paragangliomas (GP) are a rare entity, with only few reported cases in the literature. This is a multicentric retrospective cohort of patients treated with endoscopy or surgery for ampullary CoGNET. A literature review of ampullary CoGNET was also performed.

Surgical resection for ampullary lesions lacks clear guidelines. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment for malignant ampullary tumors but is often excessive for ampullary adenomas (AAs) due to its high morbidity and mortality. Transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) is generally reserved for small benign lesions where endoscopic treatment fails, but its role in early ampullary cancers is debatable.

Objective: Ampullary neoplastic lesions can be resected by endoscopic papillectomy (EP) or transduodenal surgical ampullectomy (TSA) while pancreaticoduodenectomy is reserved for more advanced lesions. We present the largest retrospective comparative study analysing EP and TSA.

Design: Of all patients in the database, lesions with prior interventions, benign histology advanced malignancy (T2 and more), patients with hereditary syndromes and those undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were excluded.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the challenges in diagnosing and treating unexplained dilation of the cholangiopancreatic duct (UDCD) and assesses the effectiveness of transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) as a potential solution.
  • A retrospective analysis of 203 patients (14 from the hospital and 189 from other studies) showed that TDA enhances the diagnostic capability compared to traditional methods, with a significantly higher rate of identifying issues during surgery (78.41% vs. 65.94%).
  • The study concludes that TDA is a safe and effective option for diagnosing and treating UDCD, with varying survival rates based on the pathology found, and reports a complication rate of 27.07% but
