Surgical: Transduodenal Resection (Open vs Minimally Invasive)

Introduction

The duodenum is the most common location of small intestinal tumors [1]. Lesions in the duodenum pose a challenge for the surgeon, given the complex anatomic rela­tion to the pancreas, liver, and biliary system (Fig.13.1). Choosing a method for resection of a duodenal lesion is nuanced; it requires an understanding of the tumor’s biology, location within the duodenum, size, and proximity to the ampulla of Vater. Distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions and the likelihood for lymph node involvement is key for decision-making, as malignant adenocarcinomas require a pancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) due to the high risk of lymph node metastasis. Benign lesions, pre-malignant lesions, small neoplastic lesions with low likelihood of lymph node metastasis, and low-grade tumors that do not metastasize to lymph nodes, on the other hand, are often amenable to less exten­sive and thus less invasive operations in experienced hands.
Of note, there are no evidence-based consensus guidelines regarding the role of transduodenal resections for masses of the duodenum. It is widely accepted that benign lesions of the duodenum, especially ampullary tumors, should be resected to avoid obstruction. However, the operations are technically challenging and thus require an experienced surgeon. Halsted was the rst to describe the open

transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) in 1899, but the procedure was largely aban­doned as the pancreatoduodenectomy became the gold standard for resecting duo­denal and ampullary cancers [2]. Transduodenal resections remained appealing for benign lesions, given the morbidity associated with the Whipple procedure, but existed as a primarily open operative technique. Though attempted laparoscopically in 2003, the lack of articulating instruments and 2D visualization associated with laparoscopic surgery limited the uptake of the minimally invasive technique [3].
More recently, the advancement of minimally invasive procedures for gastroen­terologists and surgeons, alike, has changed the landscape for resection of duodenal tumors. Advanced endoscopy is now an accepted tool for resecting small, super­cial duodenal tumors. Robotic-assisted surgery has enabled increased opportunity of minimally invasive approaches for transduodenal resection of ampullary and duodenal masses. The rst robotic-assisted transduodenal ampullectomy was suc­cessfully completed in 2015 and has since become a widely accepted approach to resecting amenable benign duodenal lesions; exibility of the instruments and improved ergonomics for the surgeon make the robotic approach more enticing [3].
Of course, every surgeon should know when to choose the appropriate tech­nique—whether endoscopic, open, minimally invasive, or a hybrid—in addition to considering the full spectrum of procedures—from mucosal resections to the Whipple procedure—based on tumor characteristics and individual patient factors. In this chapter, we will focus on the management of duodenal tumors amenable to transduodenal resection. We will discuss both the technique for transduodenal wedge resections and surgical ampullectomy.

Duodenal Masses Amenable toTransduodenal Surgery
The lesions typically considered for transduodenal resection are non­adenocarcinomas. Incidence of these tumors has been growing, likely due to the increased use of endoscopy to assess upper gastrointestinal symptoms. On these exams, hyperplastic polyps are frequently found, but are usually small and amena­ble to endoscopic resection.

Benign Tumors

There are several mesenchymal-derived benign tumors found in the duodenal sub­mucosa, which can be excised via a transduodenal approach. Leiomyomas, derived from smooth muscle layers within the bowel wall, are often discovered during workup for anemia in middle-aged men—ulceration of the tumor’s overlying mucous membrane can cause bleeding [1]. These tumors should be biopsied to rule out leiomyosarcoma, which is malignant and when small is amenable to transduo­denal resection. Lipomas, which arise from the fatty submucosa of the small bowel wall, are also found in the duodenum. Lipomas are typically initially asymptomatic and are usually discovered after progressing to duodenal obstruction [1]. A well­dened mass of blood vessels found in the submucosa of the duodenum is the hem­angioma. As one might assume, hemangiomas can cause signicant bleeding, which ultimately leads to their diagnosis [1]. Lymphangiomas have been described, as well, though these tumors are rare. A host of neuron-derived tumors can also exist in the duodenum’s wall and require resection, including neurobromas (most com­mon), schwannomas, and gangliomas.

Genetic Syndromes

Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome and Peutz-Jeghers disease often develop polyps in the duodenum. Patients with FAP typically develop adenomas found in the more distal duodenum; these patients require regular surveil­lance as these polyps can lead to cancer [1]. The hamartomas developed in Peutz­Jeghers disease are usually benign and the duodenum is a rare location for these lesions [1]. Given small bowel lesions occur early in life in patients with these genetic conditions, young adults with duodenal polyps or tumors should be further evaluated specically for these syndromes.

Pre-Malignant Tumors

The most common benign tumor found in the duodenum are adenomas, typically located in D2 and therefore amenable to transduodenal resection. Adenomas are derived from the epithelium. They are categorized as serrated, tubular, tubulovil­lous, and villous. These tumors can be sporadic, occur in inherited polyposis syn­dromes, or are derived from Brunner’s glands. Adenomas have been proven to progress to cancer, so early excision is paramount. Large adenomas, especially, should be considered for removal via transduodenal resection, as endoscopic biopsy often misses portions of the polyp containing carcinoma in situ. Transduodenal resection is accepted for adenomas that display carcinoma in situ on biopsy.

Low-Grade Malignancies

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), which arise from the interstitial cells of Cajal and are distinguished by c-kit mutations, can also grow intramurally and obstruct the duodenal lumen or ulcerate through the mucosa and bleed; surgical resection is required for these tumors [4]. It is well accepted that GISTs can be removed via transduodenal surgical techniques, both wedge resection and ampul­lectomy (Supplementary Videos 13.1 and 13.2).
Another rare duodenal tumor requiring resection and potentially amenable to transduodenal resection is a neuroendocrine tumor (NET). These comprise <3% of all duodenal tumors but are increasingly found as abdominal imaging modalities improve. NETs can be aggressive tumors; however, small (<2cm), well- differentiated Grade 1 periampullary NETs without evidence of lymph node metastasis can be resected via transduodenal resection.
Please refer to Chap. 11 for more in-depth discussion on benign, pre-malignant, and malignant duodenal neoplasms.
Indications forTransduodenal Resection
Alternatives
Adenocarcinomas of the duodenum are straightforward—tumors with biopsy or imaging-proven disease greater than Tis (carcinoma in situ) require a pancreatoduo­denectomy. This is largely driven by the possibility of upstaging on nal pathology, especially given the high risk of lymph node invasion. Please refer to Chaps. 19, 20, and 21 for in-depth review of open, laparoscopic, and robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.

Resection of other duodenal masses, on the other hand, is less cut-and-dry due to the variety of local excision techniques available. Duodenal masses of the descend­ing portion of the duodenum (D2) are most often amenable to endoscopic and trans­duodenal approaches. Please refer to Chap. 12 for a more in-depth review of endoscopic duodenal resection. Non-cancerous and some cancerous lesions of the proximal duodenal segment (D1) and those that are infra-ampullary (in D3 and D4) typically require a more extensive resection such as the partial sleeve duodenectomy (PSD) [5]. This operation, like transduodenal approaches, can be completed open, laparoscopic, or robotically and is pancreas-sparing, but requires proximal small bowel reconstruction. Also, D1 and D3 lesions on the antimesenteric surface of the duodenum are amenable to a wedge resection. Please refer to Chap. 14 for more in-depth review of segmental duodenal resection (open vs MIS). For this chapter, we will focus on surgical options for D2 lesions.
Inclusion Criteria
Currently, the literature suggests that endoscopic mucosal resections (EMR), endo­scopic submucosal dissections (ESD), or endoscopic papillectomy be reserved for benign lesions <2cm in size; there should be no more than high-grade dysplasia on preoperative biopsy of the lesion, and it should not extend beyond the papilla into the common bile or pancreatic ducts [6, 7]. Some studies have reported mandatory transduodenal resection only after the tumor has reached 4cm in size [6]. However, the primary goal of operative intervention is to achieve complete pathologic resec­tion. Thus, if a lesion cannot be resected en bloc endoscopically, a transduodenal approach should be employed instead [2]. In fact, transduodenal resection is indi­cated for tumor recurrence or lack of clear margins after endoscopic resections. Lesions that reach the muscularis propria of the duodenal wall, encompass more than one-third of the duodenum circumference, or incorporate the common bile and/ or pancreatic duct are reasons to perform a pancreatoduodenectomy. Of note, endo­scopic resections can be considered as a palliative approach for patients who are poor surgical candidates.
Once a transduodenal operation is deemed appropriate, selection of the approach is largely contingent upon the proximity of the tumor to the ampulla [8]. A transduo­denal wedge resection, in which the tumor is removed with a full-thickness portion of the duodenal wall, is possible if there is a clear margin between the lesion and the ampulla. This is most often done for D2 lesions on the antimesenteric wall of the duodenum located at least 2cm from the ampulla. True periampullary lesions may require a transduodenal mucosal resection to avoid a full-thickness wedge that encroaches on the ampulla. A lesion that involves the common bile and/or pancre­atic ducts within the ampulla necessitates a transduodenal ampullectomy.
An interesting new hybrid approach, called laparoscopic and endoscopic co­operative surgery (LECS), has been recently described by Hiki etal. and was tested in 12 patients by Ichikawa et al. [9, 10]. During this procedure, both ESD and
208

laparoscopy are performed together. LECS is reserved for resection of non­ampullary tumors with the goal of reducing the common complications related to ESD. For example, the ESD resection bed is oversewn laparoscopically to avoid hemorrhage and leak after perforation. While we do not describe this technique in detail in this chapter, it appears to be a safe and feasible option for non­ampullary tumors.
Preoperative Planning
Surgical options for a patient with a duodenal tumor are largely dependent on nd­ings during the preoperative workup, which typically consists of an upper endos­copy with biopsy, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), computed tomography (CT) scan, and/or magnetic resonance imaging with cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP). CT scan can be better to optimize understanding of vasculature and MRCP can be helpful to better depict the common bile duct (CBD and pancreatic duct. Both are not usually necessary and is surgeon preference.
Upper endoscopy is key in determining location of the tumor, particularly with respect to the ampulla and the physical characteristics of the tumor, such as size and shape (Fig.13.2). Biopsy of the lesion during upper endoscopy is also essential in determining the required operative intervention. If the tumor is benign, such as an adenoma with features of dysplasia, or only contains carcinoma in situ, a

pancreatoduodenectomy may be avoided. It is often essential to get a second endos­copy as the rst one may not completely delineate (1) mesenteric vs. antimesenteric location, (2) circumference of the wall involved, (3) proximity to the ampulla with pictures, and (4) complete size with measurements. If possible, requesting video footage of or being present during the preoperative endoscopy is recommended. Tattooing is not always helpful as this can disperse and enter the abdominal cav­ity widely.
Upper endoscopic ultrasound is important in identifying lymph node metastasis for cancerous lesions and is also extremely valuable in determining whether benign lesions can undergo endoscopic resection versus a transduodenal approach. EUS can evaluate the depth of invasion into the duodenal wall, as well as extension into the CBD or pancreatic duct for ampullary lesions (Fig.13.3). Ultimately, it deter­mines the approach by which a lesion is considered resectable.
CT (Fig.13.4) and MRI/MRCP (Fig.13.5) can further assist in decision-making by providing a map of the tumor and its association to the common bile and pancre­atic ducts, in addition to revealing any local anatomic variations.

A. Polcari et al.
A few groups have reported using preoperative ERCP to place a stent in the CBD to assist in identication of the ampulla prior to duodenotomy during a minimally invasive transduodenal resection. The stent can help precisely target the duodenot­omy using intra-operative ultrasound. This step is surgeon-dependent and not required preoperatively. However, it may be useful for ampullary tumors causing obstruction or in patients who are at high risk for cholangitis while awaiting surgery. When a patient presents with jaundice, a pause is necessary before considering an ampullectomy due to concern for malignancy. Careful attention should be paid to MRCP to look for stones, to EUS for identication of small masses, and to cholan­giogram on ERCP to identify stricture (Fig. 13.6). It is possible to present with jaundice for benign etiologies, but one must perform due diligence.

Always consent the patient for a possible Whipple procedure. With careful workup and planning and in experienced hands this hopefully would not be neces­sary, but in the event that all the anatomy cannot be appropriately delineated or the reconstruction could compromise the lumen or the ducts, then a Whipple may be the safest option. In the setting of an adenoma, always discuss the possibility the tumor will be upstaged on nal pathology and another operation may be necessary.
Surgical Techniques andOutcomes
Open Transduodenal Submucosal andWedge Resection
1. The patient should be positioned supine on the operating table with both arms
out at 90 degrees.
2. After intubation and initiation of general anesthesia, a nasogastric tube and uri-
nary catheter should be placed in addition to pneumatic compression devices for DVT prophylaxis. Patient should be prepped according to hospital protocol.
3. Both a generous midline incision and right subcostal incision are acceptable. A
midline incision is recommended for patients who may require adhesiolysis due to prior surgical history.
4. Palpate the liver and inspect the rest of the peritoneum to rule out evidence of
metastatic disease.
5. After the surgeon’s preferred self-retaining retractor is placed, mobilize the
hepatic exure of the colon.
6. Perform an extensive Kocher maneuver to expose the entirety of D2—lysing
the duodenum’s retroperitoneal attachments from the foramen of Winslow to the Ligament of Treitz and posteromedial to the root of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The posterior wall of the duodenum should be visible after com­pletion of this maneuver.
7. Physically palpate the duodenal wall in a bimanual fashion to identify the target
lesion and the ampulla. TIP: For small tumors that may not be easily palpable,
Hashimoto etal. describe a preoperative duodenoscopy with clip placement on the duodenal mucosa opposite the tumor to assist in determining the site of duodenotomy [11]. It is important to limit insufation to avoid extensive dila­tion of the small bowel. Additionally, carbon dioxide insufation may assist in limiting bowel distension.
8. At this time, stay sutures may be placed through the duodenal wall lateral to the
lesion and planned site of duodenotomy in order to maintain adequate exposure throughout the operation. TIP: A laparotomy sponge can be placed behind the
duodenum to facilitate positioning prior to making the duodenotomy.
9. Using cautery, make a 2–4cm longitudinal duodenotomy on the antimesenteric
border of D2, opposite the lesion.
