Pancreaticoduodenal resection for malignancy in a low-volume center: long-term outcomes from a developing country.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The technical complexity of pancreatic resection has made it a specialized procedure performed in high-volume centers. It has been shown that patients operated on in high-volume pancreatobiliary centers have fewer complications and better survival. The purpose of this study was to share our experience with and report long-term outcomes of pancreaticoduodenal resections performed in a low-volume center in Pakistan. METHODS:Data of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenal resection for adenocarcinoma at our institute from 1999 to 2012 were reviewed. A total of 39 patients were included in the study. Variables included patients' clinical and histopathological characteristics. Outcome was determined based on complication rate, 30- and 90-day mortality, disease-free survival, and overall survival. For survival analysis, Kaplan-Meier curves were used and significance was determined using a log rank test. Univariate Cox analysis was performed to determine significant factors for multivariate analysis. RESULTS:The majority of tumors [20 (51 %)] were moderate grade, T1/T2 [20 (51 %)], ampullary adenocarcinomas [18 (46 %)]. Mean hospital stay was 14 ± 8 days. The mean number of nodes removed was 13.9 ± 6.9, while mean number of positive nodes was 1 ± 1.7. Expected 5-year overall survival and relapse-free survival were 38 and 48 %, respectively. Overall 5-year survival was significantly different with respect to nodal involvement, i.e., 47 vs. 28 % (P = 0.018). On univariate analysis, nodal involvement was the only factor associated with an increased risk of death (P = 0.02, hazard ratio [HR] 2.9, confidence interval [CI] 1.1-7.8). CONCLUSION:Low-volume centers are an acceptable alternate to high-volume centers for performing pancreaticoduodenal resection in carefully selected patients. Efforts should be directed at developing specialized hepatobiliary centers in developing countries.
