Purpose: To evaluate the measurement of main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter on MRI for predicting MPD involvement in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN).
Methods: This retrospective study included 595 patients with surgically confirmed IPMN who underwent preoperative MRI from 2015 to 2022. Three independent readers measured the maximum MPD diameter on two-dimensional axial and coronal T2-weighted imaging. Inter-plane and inter-reader agreements were assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Multivariable logistic regression identified clinical and radiological factors associated with MPD involvement. Accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of MPD diameter cutoffs, including the 5-mm threshold from the 2024 International Consensus Guidelines, were calculated.
Results: Of the 595 patients (mean age: 64.6 years ± 8.6, 394 men), 423 (71.1%) had IPMN with MPD involvement, whereas 172 (28.9%) did not have MPD involvement. The mean maximum MPD diameter was 7.9 ± 5.1 mm. Inter-plane agreement was excellent (ICC = 0.977-0.988), as was inter-reader agreement (ICC = 0.963). Only a large MPD diameter on MRI was independently associated with MPD involvement (odds ratio = 1.29 [95% confidence interval; 1.14-1.47], p <.01). Use of a maximum MPD diameter cutoff of ≥ 5 mm for MPD involvement yielded accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 76.0%, 79.2%, and 68.0%, respectively.
Conclusion: Despite excellent inter-plane and inter-reader agreement, the MRI-based prediction of MPD involvement in IPMN has limitations.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on patients who had surgery for high-risk intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) that included a mural module, focusing on the relationship between dysplasia grade and the mural module location.
- The research involved 82 patients, revealing that nearly half had high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma away from the mural module, indicating that local treatment might not be safe or effective.
- The results suggest that pancreatectomy (removal of part or all of the pancreas) remains the best treatment option due to the potential risks associated with localized treatments.
Background And Aim: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a significant challenge following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), contributing to morbidity and mortality. Various risk assessment models have been established to predict the likelihood of POPF. An updated alternate fistula risk score (ua-FRS) has been recently refined and validated within European cohorts.

Background: Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) is the major complication of pancreatoduodenectomy, and the pancreatic texture is one of the potential affecting factors. Multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a novel technique for measuring tissue stiffness, but its value in predicting CR-POPF preoperatively has not been well documented.
Methods: A total of 70 patients who underwent multifrequency MRE before pancreatoduodenectomy between July 2021 and April 2024 were retrospectively recruited into the study.
Appropriate linear stapler selection for avoiding postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Despite the progress in surgical techniques and perioperative managements, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP) remains high. Recently, pancreatic dissection using a linear stapler has been widely performed; however, risk factors influencing the occurrence of POPF after DP using a liner stapler is not fully understood. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate whether the relations between staple height and pancreatic thickness or main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter influenced the incidence of POPF.
