<b><i>Background:</i></b> The adoption of spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) for malignant disease such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) has been controversial. The objective of the current study was to assess the impact of SPDP on outcomes of patients with pNETs. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Patients undergoing a distal pancreatectomy for pNET between 2002 and 2016 were identified in the US Neuroendocrine Tumor Study Group database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing SPDP versus distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among 621 patients, 103 patients (16.6%) underwent an SPDP. Patients who underwent SPDP were more likely to have lower BMI (median, 27.5 [IQR 24.0–31.2] vs. 28.7 [IQR 25.7–33.6]; <i>p</i> = 0.005) and have undergone minimally invasive surgery (<i>n</i> = 56, 54.4% vs. <i>n</i> = 185, 35.7%; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). After PSM, while the median total number of lymph nodes examined among patients who underwent an SPDP was lower compared with DPS (3 [IQR 1–8] vs. 9 [5–13]; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001), 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were comparable (OS: 96.8 vs. 92.0%, log-rank <i>p</i> = 0.21, RFS: 91.1 vs. 84.7%, log-rank <i>p</i> = 0.93). In addition, patients undergoing SPDP had less intraoperative blood loss (median, 100 mL [IQR 10–250] vs. 150 mL [IQR 100–400]; <i>p</i> = 0.001), lower incidence of serious complications (<i>n</i> = 13, 12.8% vs. <i>n</i> = 28, 27.5%; <i>p</i> = 0.014), and shorter length of stay (median: 5 days [IQR 4–7] vs. 6 days [IQR 5–13]; <i>p</i> = 0.049) compared with patients undergoing DPS. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> SPDP for pNET was associated with acceptable perioperative and long-term outcomes that were comparable to DPS. SPDP should be considered for patients with pNET.

Abstract Background:Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) are rare neoplasms associated with a long life expectancy after resection. In this setting, patients may benefit from laparoscopic organ-sparing resection. Studies of laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for PNENs are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for PNENs.Methods: A retrospective study was performed for patients with PNENs who underwent laparoscopic organ-sparing pancreatectomy between March 2005 and May 2018. The patients’ demographic data, operative results, pathological reports, hospital courses and morbidity, mortality, and follow-up data (until August 2018) were analysed.Results:Thirty-five patients were included in the final analysis. There were 9 male and 26 female patients, with a median age of 46 years (range, 25-75 years). The mean BMI was 24.6±3.3 kg/m2. Nine patients received laparoscopic enucleation (LE), 20 received laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP), and 6 received laparoscopic central pancreatectomy. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion rate, and postoperative hospital stay were 186.4±60.2 min, 165±73.0 ml, 0 d, and 9 d (range, 5-23 d), respectively. The morbidity rate, grade ≥III complication rate and grade ≥B pancreatic fistula rate were 34.2%, 11.4%, and 8.7%, respectively, with no mortality. The rate of follow-up was 94.3%, and the median follow-up time was 55 months (range, 3-158 months). One patient developed recurrence 36 months after LE and was managed with surgical resection. The other patients survived without metastases or recurrence during the follow-up. One patient had diabetes after laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and no patients had symptoms of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Conclusions: Laparoscopic organ-sparing resection for selected cases of PNENs is safe and feasible and has favourable short- and long-term outcomes.

Background: Thrombocytopenia (TCP) occurs commonly in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is unclear whether persistent TCP after discharge among AMI survivors is associated with worse outcomes. Methods: We examined the impact of persistent post-discharge TCP on outcomes in a registry of consecutive AMI patients hospitalized between January 2004 and December 2007. In-hospital (IH) TCP was defined by a nadir platelet count < 150 x 109/L. Resolved TCP was defined as IH TCP which resolved within 3 months after discharge while persistent TCP was defined as IH TCP which did not resolve within 3 months. Results: Of 842 patients hospitalized for a first AMI, we examined data on 617 hospital survivors who had follow-up within 3 months of discharge and documented long-term outcomes. Of those, 474 (76.8%) patients did not experience IH TCP while 42 (6.8%) and 101 (16.4%) had persistent and resolved TCP, respectively (Table). Patients with persistent TCP were older, had worse comorbidities, and were more likely to have TCP at baseline and discharge. There were no inter-group differences in infarct size, major bleeding complications, revascularization, or ejection fraction at discharge. Mortality following discharge was higher at all time-points among AMI patients with persistent TCP compared to patients with resolved or without IH TCP (Figure). Patients with resolved TCP had comparable mortality to those without IH TCP. Conclusion: Persistent TCP within 3 months after hospital discharge for AMI is associated with significantly increased short- and long-term mortality compared to patients with recovered TCP or without IH TCP.

Background. Although mortality and morbidity of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) have improved significantly over the past years, the impact of age for patients undergoing PD is still debated. This study is aimed at analyzing short- and long-term outcomes of PD in elderly patients. Methods. 124 consecutive patients who have undergone PD for pancreas neoplasms in our center between 2012 and 2017 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: group I (<75 years) and group II (≥75 years). Demographic features and intraoperative and clinical-pathological data were collected. Primary endpoints were perioperative morbidity and mortality; complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Score. Secondary endpoints included feasibility of adjuvant treatment and overall survival rates. Results. A total of 106 patients were included in this study. There were 73 (68.9%) patients in group I and 33 (31.1%) in group II. Perioperative deceases were 4 (3.6%), and postoperative pancreatic fistulas were 34 (32.1%). Significant difference between two groups was demonstrated for the ASA Score (p=0.004), Karnofsky Score (p=0.025), preoperative jaundice (p=0.004), and pulmonary complications (p=0.034). No significance was shown for diabetes, radicality of resection, stage of disease, operative time, length of stay, postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo Score, postoperative mortality, pancreatic fistula, and reoperation rates. 69.9% of the patients in group I underwent adjuvant treatment vs. 39.4% of the older ones (p=0.012). Mean overall survival was 28.5 months in group I vs. 22 months in group II (p=0.909). Conclusion. PD can be performed safely in elderly patients. Advanced age should not be an absolute contraindication for PD, even if greater frailty should be considered. The outcome of elderly patients who have undergone PD is similar to that of younger patients, even though adjuvant treatment administration is significantly lower, demonstrating that surgery remains the main therapeutic option.
