Pancreatic anatomy in the era of extensive and less invasive surgery 289
Figure 21.2 View of autopsy cases after injection of three colors of dye into the vessels and ducts. (a) Anterior–inferior
pancreaticoduodenal artery (AIPDA). Anterior view of the fixed pancreatic head obtained from an autopsy case. The embryologically dorsal primordium (anterior segment) has been removed along the embryological fusion plane. Following anterior segmentectomy, the intrapancreatic bile duct (yellow arrowhead), the duct of Wirsung (asterisk), and the posterior segment (embryologically ventral primordium) have been preserved. The anterior arcade of the pancreatic head consists of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA, red arrowhead), the anterior–superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA, black arrowhead), and the anterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (AIPDA, white arrowheads). (b) Posterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PIPDA). Posterior view of the fixed pancreatic head obtained from an autopsy case. There are four branches of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA, white arrow): the first jejunal artery (white arrowhead), the anterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (AIPDA, yellow arrowhead), the posterior–superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PSPDS, yellow arrow) and the posterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PIPDA, black arrowhead). In this case, the four arteries branched off the SMA independently.
PD [4]. The artery first approach has been described for laparoscopic PD and entails early dissection and assess­ment of the tissue adjacent to the SMA. This approach is facilitated by the laparoscopic view below the head of the pancreas after kocherization. To minimize blood loss and risk for postoperative bleeding, it is important that pan­creatic surgeons identify and control the inflow arteries to the pancreatic head coming off the SMA, as mentioned earlier.
Another important factor in the arterial anatomy of the pancreas is that there is always a small branch from the SMA to the body of the pancreas. This pancreatic body artery must be divided to remove the left side of the pancreas at the level of the portal vein. In the majority of cases, this arterial branch becomes the transverse pancreatic artery [5]. A possible variation is a communi­cation of this artery with the dorsal pancreatic artery (DPA).
Aberrant hepatic arteries from the SMA
Aberrant right hepatic artery (RHA) from the SMA is reported in 15–25% of patients [6,7]. Aberrant RHA consists of replaced RHA (singular artery from the SMA) and accessory RHA (an additional RHA coming off the SMA). A replaced RHA often travels behind the portal vein and the pancreatic head through Calot’s triangle. Any anatomical variation in the hepatoduodenal ligament should be carefully evaluated before surgery. The most dangerous variation would be a case in which the RHA is a re plac ed artery coming off the gastroduodenal artery (GDA), where the GDA cannot be divided at the typical location close to the common hepatic artery (CHA).
21.2.1.2 Celiac axis
The celiac axis has several branches, including the bilat­eral phrenic arteries, left gastric artery (LGA), splenic

Figure 21.3 Intraoperative identification of the branches from
the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). After division of the right side of the nerve plexus of the SMA, the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA, A), the posterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PIPDA, B), the anterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (AIPDA, C), and the first jejunal artery (D) were taped. In the “artery first” approach, the IPDA and the first jejunal artery should be ligated, which will decrease the blood supply to the pancreatic head.
artery (SpA), common hepatic artery (CHA), dorsal pan­creatic artery (DPA), aberrant hepatic artery, inferior phrenic arteries, and others.
The CeA is surrounded by the celiac nerve plexus, which in case of tumor infiltration can be the source of significant cancer-related pain. The root of the DPA can be the trunk of the CeA, CHA or SpA [5]. The first major branch of the CHA is usually the GDA, at which point the CHA becomes the proper hepatic artery (PHA). The GDA branches off the right gastroepiploic artery (RGA). After this branching, the GDA becomes the anterior–superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (ASPDA), which has a com­munication with the IPDA. This arterial communication creates an anterior pancreatic arcade (see Figure 21.2a). The origin of the posterior–superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PSPDA) can be the GDA or PHA, or it may be an aberrant hepatic artery. The PSPDA travels behind the pancreatic head toward the major papilla, and it may give off additional small branches to the duodenum. The communication of the PSPDA and PIPDA creates a pos­terior pancreatic arcade (see Figure 21.2b). In patients
with median arcuate ligament syndrome, the root of the CeA is compressed by the ligament. This can be a critical finding when performing a pancreaticoduodenectomy since in these cases the hepatic arterial flow might be insufficient after resection of the pancreatic head. Divi­sion of the arcuate ligament will restore the flow of the CeA [8].
Maintenance of hepatic arterial inflow during distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) (see Videos 24 and 25)
Surgical resection of pancreatic cancer involving the celiac axis is controversial. However, recent reports have shown a five-year survival rate of 42% in patients with pancreatic invasive cancer undergoing DP-CAR, a modified Appleby’s procedure [9]. In gastric cancer surgery, it had been known that total gastrectomy com­bined with en bloc resection of the celiac axis enables complete cancer removal with the so-called Appleby’s procedure [10]. Application of Appleby’s procedure to pancreatic cancer should be done only in select circum­stances, because of the higher morbidity and mortality rate in comparison with conventional DP [11].
During DP-CAR, the roots of the SMA and CeA should be identified. After clamping the celiac axis from the SMA via the pancreatic head arcades, hepatic arterial flow should be confirmed before resection of the CeA (Figure 21.4a). After completion of DP-CAR, the nerve plexus of SMA is dissected, while the stump of the CeA is exposed on the dissecting plane (Figure 21.4b).
21.2.2 Venous anatomy
The venous anatomy of the pancreatic head may vary widely from patient to patient. However, there are certain common features and variations that are more likely to occur. T he major portal venous tribu­taries to the portal system consist of the portal vein (PV), s uperior mesenteric vein (SMV), splenic vein (SpV), superior mesenteric vein (SPV), Henle’sgastro­colic trunk (GCT), middle colic vein (MCV), inferior mesenteric vein ( IMV), jejunal veins, left gastric vein (coronary vein), and right gastric vein. The venous drainage of the pancreatic head runs partly indepen­dent from the arter ial tributaries. For further reading, Douglass et al. nicely summarize the detailed anatomy of the pancreatic venous tributaries [12].
The key branches are the PV, SpV, and SMV, and the most frequent anatomical variations are as follows.

The posterior– superior pancreaticoduodenal vein (PSPDV) joins the posterior wall of the portal vein, and the posterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal vein (PIPDV) joins the posterior wall of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). The boundary between the drainage area of the PSPDV and the PIPDV is the major papilla.

(b) After completion of DP-CAR, the stump of the celiac axis (white arrow) is exposed on the dissecting plane, while the SMA (white arrowhead)is preserved.
21.2.2.1 PV
The noteworthy branches of the PV are the posterior– superior pancreaticoduodenal vein (PSPDV), left gastric vein, and right gastric vein. In a cadaveric study by Mourad et al., the authors report that the PSPDV was absent in only one of the 45 specimens studied [13]. The PSPDV is the most dominant branch off the PV and is
usually located on the right posterior aspect of the PV at the superior edge of the pancreas. The PSPDV drains the posterior–superior area of the pancreas and the duode­num. The PSPDV and PIPDV may in some cases form the posterior arcade at the back of the pancreatic head, although the communication between the two veins close to the major papilla is sometimes not well developed (Figure 21.5) [14,15]. There is some disagreement whether the ASPDV and AIPDV form the anterior arcade on the ventral side of the pancreatic head [14,16]. The left gastric vein (LGV), i.e. coronary vein, branches from the junction between the PV and SpV (type I, 58.9%), the PV (type II, 24.4%), and the SpV (type III, 16.7%) [12] (Figure 21.6). The right gastric vein originates in the lower portion of the lesser curvature of the stomach [12]. This vein sometimes has a common trunk with tributaries from the superior edge of the pancreas, which must be controlled carefully when performing the retropancreatic “tunneling” during a PD [17].
21.2.2.2 SpV
The noteworthy tributaries of the SpV are the LGV and inferior mesenteric vein (IMV). As described in the
292 Chapter 21

previous section, the LGV drains into the portal venous confluence or the superior aspect of the SpV in 76% of patients (see Figure 21.6). The IMV drains into the portal venous confluence or the inferior aspect of the SpV in 72% of patients (Figure 21.7).

(IMV) in relation to the portal vein (PV) and splenic vein (SpV). Type I (38.0%): the IMV joins the junction of the SpV. Type II (32.7%): the IMV joins the junction between the PV and SpV. Type III (29.3%): the IMV joins the PV.
21.2.2.3 SMV
The major tributaries of the SMV are the right gastro­epiploic trunk (Henle’s trunk), the IMV, and the middle colic vein. Zhang et al. studied 50 cases with special reference to the branching of Henle’s trunk [18]. They found that Henle’s trunk has 2–4 of the following veins: the right gastroepiploic (100%), the superior right colic (59.3%), the superior pancreaticoduodenal (85.2%), the anterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal (16.7%), and other colic veins (middle right, transverse).
The main trunk of the SMV arises from the confluence of the two first-order branches of the SMV: the jejunal and ileal branches. The jejunal branch runs behind the SMA in 80% of cases [19]. Katz et al. described that in PD, one of the jejunal or ileal veins can be sacrificed without the need for venous reconstruction, if at least one of these venous branches is preserved [19]. In addition, they propose that the preservation of the ileal vein is preferred over the jejunal vein. Falconer et al. demonstrated that when the jejunal branch crosses anterior to the SMA, the SMA appears between the two equally thick veins [15]. Sacrificing the left limb of the SMV, usually the jejunal vein, can be considered according to the size of the remaining venous limb.
21.2.3 Peripancreatic nerve plexus
The peripancreatic nerves impact both the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous systems. The major ganglia are the celiac and superior mesenteric ganglia with their branches to the greater or lesser splanchnic nerves and vagus nerves.
The innervations of the pancreatic head can be classi­fied into two parts: (i) plexus pancreaticus capitalis 1 and 2 [20], which accounts for the nerve plexus of the SMA and celiac axis, and (ii) plexus splenicus innervating the pancreatic body and tail. The neural plexi around the SMA are most likely to be involved when cancer includes perineural invasion, thus dissection of these plexi has been advocated in the treatment of invasive pancreatic cancer [21,22]. It has been reported that lymphatic vessels are present along the SMA within the SMA plexus [23], which supports systematic dissection of the nerve plexus along the SMA in patients with pancreatic cancer close to the SMA.
21.2.3.1 Nerve plexus of the SMA
The SMA is surrounded by a thick nerve plexus, and the IPDA and jejunal arteries run inside and outside the nerve

plexus (Figure 21.8). Pancreatic cancer often involves the nerve plexus of the SMA around the IPDA (Figure 21.9). The branches of the IPDA or jejunal artery often run within the right half of the nerve plexus of the SMA. Therefore, dissection of the right half of the plexus involves ligation or sealing of these thin arterial branches. In the left half of the plexus, no major arterial branch runs through the plexus itself, with the exception of the arterial branch to the body of the pancreas, which runs along the inferior border of the pancreas.

pancreatic cancer.

The wall of the portal vein is reconstructed using a patch graft from bilateral ovarian veins (yellow arrowhead).
During PD for pancreatic invasive cancer, the right half of the SMA nerve plexus should be dissected for a com­plete radical resection (Figure 21.10). During a DP for pancreatic cancer involving the left-side nerve plexus of SMA, the nerve plexus should be removed for a radical resection (Figure 21.11). Extensive resection of the nerve

plexus around the SMA can induce severe diarrhea and disturbance of digestion and absorption, which should be avoided to maintain optimal quality of life of patients undergoing PD for invasive cancer.
21.2.3.2 Nerve plexus of CeA and CHA
In patients with pancreatic body cancer with invasion into the nerve plexus around the CeA and the left side of the nerve plexus of the SMA, these nerve plexi need to be removed as part of a radical resection. The CeA, CHA, and the left half of the SMA wall are exposed after complete dissection of the nerve plexus (see Figure 21.11).
21.2.4 Peripancreatic nodal stations
The nodal distribution of peripancreatic regions has been well classified in the General Rules for the Study of Pancreatic Cancer [24] (Figure 21.12). Although a clinical impact of extensive nodal dissection in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas has not been proven in randomized clinical trials, at least standard nodal
dissection is necessary for accurate staging. To perform an accurate nodal dissection with a high lymph node yield, the surgeon requires an excellent understanding of the relevant nodal stations. The peripancreatic lymph node stations have been numbered based on their loca­tions (Table 21.1). The most frequent metastatic nodal stations in pancreatic cancer are numbers 13, 16, and 17 [25].
21.3 Pancreatic anatomy for organ­preserving peripancreatic resection
Laparoscopic surgery, compared with open resection, has the potential to reduce morbidity. Pancreas head resec­tion that preserves a significant amount of pancreas tissue has been reported, and Beger has proposed such proce­dures for pancreatitis [26]. These include duodenum­preserving pancreas head resection (DPPHR), inferior

21.3.1 Anatomical segmentectomy of the pancreatic head (see Video 26)
To understand the pancreatic and peripancreatic anat­omy for organ-preserving surgery, it is important to consider the embryonic origin of the pancreatic dorsal and ventral buds. The fetal pancreas is composed of the ventral and dorsal anlage derived from the midgut, and the two buds fuse at week 7 or 8 of gestation, forming the
Figure 21.13 The embryological anatomy of the pancreatic
head. The pancreatic head can be divided into two parts: the anterior segment (embryologically dorsal primordia) and the posterior segment (embryologically ventral primordia). The duct of Wirsung (yellow arrowhead) penetrates the two buds and joins the duct of Santorini, making the main pancreatic duct. The anterior–inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (red arrowhead) and vein (blue arrowhead) can be recognized. The common bile duct and the duct of Wirsung are included in the posterior segment.
pancreas. The bile duct and the duct of Wirsung originate from the ventral bud, while the duct of Santorini arises from the dorsal bud. The two buds fuse, rotating 270° from their initial position, so that the ventral bud is located behind the dorsal bud in the adult pancreas.
On fixed casts of the pancreatic head obtained from cadavers, anatomical segmentectomy of the pancreatic head along the embryological fusion plane is feasible, preserving the embryological ventral primordium con­taining the common bile duct (Figure 21.13) [27]. It is therefore theoretically feasible to perform anatomical anterior segmentectomy of the pancreatic head for intra­ductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in the embryological dorsal pancreas, dividing the fusion plane between the dorsal and ventral primordia [28]. However, a significant pancreatic fistula from the wide dissection plane and reconstruction of the main pancreatic duct carry a high risk of significant morbidity [29]. In addition, anatomical resection of the embryological ventral bud involves resection of the lower bile duct. Subsequently, reconstruction of the main pancreatic duct, as well as the bile duct, is required (Figure 21.14). The benefit of pre­serving the anterior bud of the patients tends to be very limited and therefore in most cases, PD is preferable for patients with neoplasm limited to the ventral bud.

21.3.2 Pancreas-sparing duodenectomy
In patients wi th duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or famil ial adenomatous polyposis of the duodenum, resection of the duodenum while pre­serving the pancreas m ay be an indication for PSD. During PSD, the major/minor papilla, branches from the anterior–inferior pancreatico duodenal arteries and veins, and the p osterior– superior and –inferior pan­creaticoduodenal arteri es and veins are divided. PSD might be indicated in patients with duodenal GIST, which has a negligible ris k of nodal metastasis or direct

primordium. After resection of the embryologically ventral primordium, the lower bile duct, which is originally buried in the ventral primordium, was exposed on the dissecting plane. The plane coincides with the embryological fusion between the ventral and dorsal buds.
KEY POINTS
• The arterial tributaries to the pancreas originate from either the celiac artery or the superior mesenteric artery. There are several variations of the communication between the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery and the first jejunal artery. It is essential to safely control these arteries early during PD in o rd er to minimize blood flow to the pancreatic head during the resection.
• There are several variations of the communication between the splenic vein, inferior mesenteric vein, the superior mesenteric vein, and the portal vein. The posterior pancreaticoduodenal veins provide drainage of the posterior pancreatic head to the portal system.
• In the treatment of invasive pancreatic cancer, partial resection of nerve plexus of the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery, and a peripancreatic lymph node dissection is required for oncological reasons.
• The pancreatic head can be divided into two parts along the embryological primordia: the dorsal bud and the ventral bud. Anatomical segmentectomy is theoretically possible, but practically it may be too complicated.
• Pancreas-sparing duodenectomy or duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection requires excellent knowledge of the peripancreatic anatomy.
invasion to adjacent organs [ 30], or in very select patients with preinvasive or very early duodenal can­cer [31]. The long-term prognosis of PSD for GIST is reported to be satisfactory [32].

CHAPTER 22
Management of solid and cystic lesions of the pancreas
David Fogelman and Robert A. Wolff
Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, USA
EDITOR COMMENT
This comprehensive chapter on pancreatic tumors discusses multidisciplinary management of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and pancreatic cystic neoplasms as well as less often encountered pathologies such as metastases to the pancreas and lymphoepithelial cysts. While pancreatic resection in general has become safer, the advent of advanced laparoscopic pancreatectomy might contribute to reducing operative morbidity further. Pancreatic cancer therapy today requires a multidisciplinary approach, and this chapter by expert pancreas medical oncologists allows surgeons to put pancreas cancer surgery into the context of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
With the widespread use of axial abdominal imaging, there has been a significant increase in the detection of pancreatic cystic lesions. The minimally invasive pancreatic surgeon will frequently be asked to manage these patients because removal of potentially premalignant or early-malignant cystic lesions with prophylactic intent makes these operations well suited for the lesser morbidities associated with a minimally invasive approach. Therefore, it is critical that the surgeon becomes very familiar with the work-up, indications for resection, and surgical approaches to managing these cystic lesions.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is by far the most common malignancy in patients discovered to have a solid lesion in the pancreas, and in the United States, the incidence of pancreatic adenocarcinoma has increased from approxi­mately 32 000 cases per year a decade ago to over 46 000 currently [1,2]. Similarly, pancreatic neuroendocrine car­cinomas, the second most common malignant histology, also appear to be rising in incidence [3]. Furthermore, with the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging (com­puted tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance [MR]), a growing number of people are being found to have cystic lesions within the pancreas, many of which represent

intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas.
This chapter will focus on the diagnostic work-up, staging, and subsequent management of patients with solid and cystic pancreatic lesions.
22.2 Solid tumors of the pancreas
In general, curative treatment of solid neoplasms of the pancreas requires complete resection of the tumor mass, and in the case of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the delivery of adjuvant therapy has a modest impact on overall survival for p atients undergoing curative
