24 Laparoscopic Approaches to the Patient … 315
Fascia for the 10–12 mm port site and Pfannestiel incision is closed. All incision sites are copiously irrigated, followed by skin closure.
Clinical Pearls
• Placing the patient in reverse Trendelenburg position after port placement aids in visualization of the key structures.
• Intraoperative ultrasound is a valuable tool to assess the tumor margins and its relationship with vascular structures.
• Caution must be taken when medial-to-lateral dissection is carried out, given the proximity of the junction of the 4th portion of the duodenum and early jejunum.
• Due to the patient positioning, the splenic artery may seem to be posi­tioned more anteriorly (even though it is heading to the patient’s left).
• A vascular cartridge for a laparoscopic stapler should be used for pan­creatic parenchymal transection and the stapler should be fired using the slow close technique. If the pancreatic duct is seen it should be oversewn with a 3–0 silk suture on a tapered GI needle .
There remains debate regarding intraoperative drain placement after pancreatic resection. Multiple studies have shown that placement of closed suction drains during pancreaticoduodenectomy does not appear to decrease the rate of secondary drainage procedures or surgical exploration and, in fact, may be associated with increased pancreatic fistula (PF) formation and overall morbidity [4–7]. One ran­domized, controlled trial demonstrated that drains diminish the rate and severity of pancreatic fistula in patients with moderate/high risk for PF, but this could possibly be avoided in the roughly one-third of patients with negligible/low risk [8].

Alternative Techniques

RAMPS is an aggressive surgical approach designed to improve oncologic resec­tion with a higher likelihood of negative (tangential) margins, increased rates of microscopically negative resections, and an improved lymph node dissection. It was originally described as an open technique in 2003 and then later adapted to laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Although it may be associated with improved disease-specific survival, it has similar 5-year overall survi val compared to pan­creaticoduodenectomy for adenocarcinoma [1, 9].
Alternative techniques include a laparoscopic hand-assist dist al pancreatectomy [10, 11], or distal pancreatectomy with splenic preservation [11, 12]. Hand-assist involves a hand port that allows the surgeon’s hand to access the peritoneal cavity during surgery. This assists the surgeon to palpate the tumor, allows for manual

retraction and dissection, and application of direct pressure in case there is bleeding. This technique is usually employed in more difficult cases that involve resection of larger tumors, tumors with substantial inflammatory reaction around them, or in obese patients with thick abdominal walls [13].
Distal pancreatectomy with splenic preservation can be performed using what has been described as the Warshaw technique [11] or Kimura [12]. This involves either preservation of the splenic vasculature (Kimura) or preservation of the short gastrics to supply spleen (Warshaw). However, for malignant disease, splenic preservation at the expense of resection margins or thorough lymph node evaluation is not recommended.
Alternative Approaches
• RAMPS is an aggressive surgical approach designed to improve onco­logic resection with a higher likelihood of negative (tangential) margins, increased rates of microscopically negative resections, and an improved lymph node dissection.
• Alternative techniques include a laparoscopic hand-assist distal pancrea­tectomy or distal pancreatectomy with splenic preservation. For malignant disease, splenic preservation at the expense of resection margins and adequate nodal harvest is not recommended.
• Intraoperative drain placement after pancreatic resection remains a great topic of debate. Closed suction drainage has not been shown to decrease the rate of secondary drainage procedures or surgical exploration, and may be associated with increased pancreatic fistula formation and overall morbidity.

Preoperative Evaluation for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The two main goals of preoperative evaluation are to verify the histopathological diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and to determine resectability. This usually involves imaging with any preferred modality, EUS/EUS-guided biopsy, and serum tumor markers. Multiple imaging modalities are available for the evaluation of suspected pancreatic cancer, most common being multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Usually the choice of either of these studies depends on available local expertise and the clinician’s comfort with one or the other imaging technique, as there is not an evidence-based difference between the two techniques [ 14, 15]. In some cases, endoscopic decompression with biliary stent placement may be needed to manage obstructive jaundice

(particularly for ampullary masses). EUS is a valuable tool for diagnosis. It has a negative predictive value as high as almost 100% in some series [16, 17]. EUS-guided biopsies help obtain a tissue diagnosis of primary tumor and any suspicious lymph nodes. These biopsies have been reported to have a high sensi­tivity (85%) and specificity (98%) for malignancy [18], although the utility may be limited in pancreatic body tumors. Serum CA 19-9 is a serum biomarker for pan­creatic cancer, and has been shown to aid in diagnosis and can be used as a prognostic marker [19].

Postoperative Care

Postoperative care after LDP is not much different from management of any other postsurgical patient. Pain management is focused to avoid narcotics to help prevent ileus. Perioperative antibiotics are continued for 24 h after surgery. Fluid resusci­tation is continued for at least 24–36 h, and sometimes longer, until the patient tolerates a diet. Urine output is used as an objective tool to guide fluid resuscitation. If the drain output is high, a drain amylase is measured and, if normal, the drain is removed prior to discharge. If amylase is high, patients are discharged with the drain and it is removed once the output is low.

Surveillance

The patient usually returns to see the surgeon 2–3 weeks after discharge. At this visit, the patient’s clinical status is reviewed, their wounds are examined, their pathology is reviewed, and future care is arranged. Adjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy is typically recommended for fit patients following resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and referral to an oncologist is ensured. Timing of follow-up visits are then individualized. MRI and serum CA 19-9 levels are obtained, usually at 1 month after surgery, and then per National Compre­hensive Cancer Network guidelines [20].
Overall Management Pearls
• All patients need to undergo a complete staging workup and, only when no signs of locally advanced or metastatic disease, they are taken to the operating room for surgical resection.
• If there is any suspicion for metastatic disease at the start of the procedure, tissue biopsies must be sent for frozen section. If positive for metastases, surgery should be aborted and the patient should be referred for definitive chemotherapy.

Conclusion

About one-fourth of all pancreatic adenocarcinomas are located in the body or tail of the pancreas, and if they are detected at an early stage these are typically treated with distal (or left) pancreatectomy. The first reports of LDP were described by Cuschieri in 1994 [21]. With the recent advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques, there is an increasing trend in laparoscopic resection of pancreatic cancer. LDP can be a technically challenging operation, given the need of precise recognition of tissue planes and the proximity of critical vascular structures. There are only a few studies that compare open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) and mini­mally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) for resection of pancreatic adeno­carcinoma. While there are multiple single-center studies [22–27] there is only one multicenter, case-control led study focused on ductal adenocarcinoma published to date on this topic by the Central Pancreas Consortium (CPC) in the U.S. Results from this study showed that while open procedures were found to have higher estimated blood loss, increased wound infections, and increased need for drainage postoperatively, no difference was observed in the length of the operation, major complications, 30-day mortality, and pancreatic fistula development [28].
Although some single-center studies have reported lower positive margin (R1) rates [24–27], no difference was found in the study from CPC [28]. Based on single institution and SEER data, a minimum of 12 LNs should be harvested for resections of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Only one single-center study shows a significantly greater node harvest in favor of a minimally invasive approach [23], while other studies found no significant difference [22–24]. Variable ranges with 5-year sur­vival have been reported, but have not been found to be statistically different. No significant difference has been found in the use of adjuvant therapy between ODP and MIDP [22–25, 27, 28]. Table 24.1 shows cumulative results of these studies discussed above. Minimally invasive approach was used for smaller tumors and there was a higher incidence of positive margins when an open approach was used.
There is limited data to support that RAMPS approach to distal pancreatectomy potentially offers increased rates of R0 resections with negative tangential margins [29–31]. A recent Cochrane review concluded that existing studies investigating differences between open and laparoscopic approaches are not sufficient to elimi­nate bias, and randomized studies are needed [32].

Robotic Approaches to the Patient with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Introduction

Pancreatic cancer is a systemic disease in a vast majority of the patients at the time of diagnosis; this mandates the clinician to carefully consider how to integrate local control of the tumor into the overall oncologic care of the patient. Current approaches of open surgery followed by a djuvant therapy have failed to signifi­cantly impact overall survival of this disease over the last 30 years. Re-sequencing of surgery and chemotherapy, integration of more effective chemotherapy regimens, and minimally invasive approaches to local control have the potential to improve current poor outcomes. In this chapter, we focus on how robotic pancreaticoduo­denectomy is integrated into the multidisciplinary care of the patient with pancreatic

ductal adenocarcinoma. W e will emphasize the diagnostic workup, technique, and outcomes of robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy in a patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Case Presentation

A 54-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a 3-month history of epigastric pain, early satiety, nausea and vomiting, and a 15-lb weight loss. His past medical history was significant for melanoma in situ, diverticulitis, gastroe­sophageal reflux disease, and hypertension. His family history was negative for pancreatic diseases and significant for multiple first-degree relatives with mela­noma. CT scan without contrast enhancement demonstrated a dilated pancreatic duct in the setting of an elevated alkaline phosphatase on laboratory analysis. MRCP, performed to evaluate the pancreatic duct, was suspicious for an ampullary mass. EUS demonstrated a 2.4 cm mass that was biopsied. He underwent an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), demonstrating a distal common bile duct stricture; sphincterotomy was performed followed by placement of a 10 mm covered metal stent. He was referred to our multidisciplinary clinic for further evaluation.

Epidemiology

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and remains one of the few disease in which incidence and mortality remain nearly equal, despite improvements in medical technologies. Surgery remains the only potentially curative treatment for localized disease [1]. Although contemporary perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing resection for pancreatic cancer have improved significantly, long-term survival remains largely unchanged [2]. The poor prognosis of the disease is multifactorial seconda ry to biological factors [3], delayed presentation, complexity of surgery [4], and lack of effective therapy [5, 6]. Inherited pancreatic cancer syndromes, comprised of hereditary pancreatic cancer (identifiable gene mutation) and familial pancreatic cancer (at least one pair of first-degree relatives without an identifiable gene mutation), contribute to approximately 5– 10% of all pancreatic adenocarcinoma cases [7]. Among these, Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome, BRCA2, Lynch Syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer), and—in the case of our patient—familial atypical multiple mole melanoma syndrome (FAMMMS) should be considered.

Diagnostic Workup and Staging

All patients should undergo a comprehensive history and physical examination. Prior abdominal surgery or the presence of underlying comorbidities, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or congestive heart failure, should be kept in mind when choosing patients for minimally invasive pancreatectomy. At our institution, preoperative planning includes a triphasic (pancreatic protocol) CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis as well as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The combi­nation of these two modalities has proven highly predictive of the ability to achieve an R0 resection in a validated model [8]. Contrast-enhanced MRI is also an acceptable imaging modality. These studies should be recent, ideally within 4–6 weeks of surgery [9].
Routine labs include complete blood count, coagulation panel, and hepatic function panel. We obtain a cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) on all patients at the time of diagnosis (after serum bilirubin normalizes) and after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We have found that a serum CA19-9 response to neoadjuvant therapy of greater than 50% is predictive of improved overall survival, and is associated with higher R0 resection rate [10]. At our institution, preoperative chemotherapy is favored for a majority of patients, thus a short metal stent is placed.
Our patient had a triple-phase CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis that demonstrated a 2 cm hypodense mass in the pancreatic head (Fig. 25.1a) that was abutting the superior mesenteric vein at the splenoportal confluence (Fig. 25.1b). Endoscopic ultrasound demonstrated a 2.4 cm mass without vascular involvement, and cytology was consistent with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Following normalization of his serum bilirubin, tumor markers were significant for a cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) of 149 U/ml (normal < 37 U/ml). Based on criteria from the NCCN, SSO, and AHPBA [11–13 ], the patient was classified as having resectable pancreatic cancer. The patient was discussed at multidisciplinary
