Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Pancreatic surgery has been impacted by advancements in imaging and minimally invasive techniques.
  • Regionalization has also influenced the practice of pancreatic surgery.
  • This study investigates changes in pancreatic operations and disease spectrum at a high-volume center.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the evolution of pancreatic operations at a high-volume center.
  • To assess changes in the spectrum of pancreatic disease treated.
  • To compare surgical practices and outcomes over two distinct time periods.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 2,004 pancreatic operations performed between 1996 and 2009.
  • Comparison of operations, pathology, and outcomes between two periods: 1996-2003 and 2004-2009.
  • Statistical analysis to identify significant changes in surgical procedures and patient demographics.

Main Results:

  • Increased annual operations (215 vs. 89) and older patient age (58.8 vs. 55.8 years) in 2004-2009.
  • Shift towards more pancreatoduodenectomies (55.0% vs. 50.4%) and increased use of pylorus preservation (81.1% vs. 64.4%), laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (33.9% vs. 0%), and splenic preservation (25.3% vs. 2.2%).
  • Higher incidence of tumors (68.8% vs. 60.4%) and decreased pancreatitis (29.2% vs. 34.4%), with improved 30-day mortality (2.5% to 1.8%).

Conclusions:

  • High-volume pancreatic surgery centers have seen an increase in patient volume, age, and complexity of resections.
  • Adoption of minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and organ-preserving strategies (pylorus and splenic preservation) has increased.
  • Outcomes, including 30-day mortality, have continued to improve despite these shifts.
