Study Overview

A New Anatomical Classification of Portal Vein Location of Pancreas Tumors

In this retrospective study, we recorded the location of pancreatic tumors and relation/proximity to the portal vein. The surgical difficulty and requirement of additional interventions were also evaluated.

Between May 2014 and October 2018, all patients who underwent PD procedure were retrospectively reviewed. This retrospective cohort study identified all consecutive patients with T3 (stage IIA to III) adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas, who underwent concomitant venous (PV/SMV) resection. Those patients with locally advanced tumors that were not responded to neoadjuvant therapy were excluded. The local ethical committee was approved this study. Data collection included demographical features, tumor characteristics including the PV level of the tumor considering computed tomography results, neoadjuvant therapy, surgical data, hospital stay, morbidity and mortality. Anatomical classification was established based on the relationship between portal confluence (PC) and tumor location (Figure I). Those tumors located superior to the PC were classified as Level I, whereas tumors on the confluence inferiorly located to PC were classified as Level II and Level III.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
OTHER: Level 1

Those tumors located superior to the portal confluence were classified as Level I,

PROCEDURE: primary repair

  • For Level I-II tumors, in case of segmental resection of PV/SMV, the reconstruction was performed by an end-to-end anastomosis either by direct suture (for defect under 2 cm) or by using an interposition venous or prosthetic graft. For this purpose, autol

PROCEDURE: segmental resection

  • For Level I-II tumors, in case of segmental resection of PV/SMV, the reconstruction was performed by an end-to-end anastomosis either by direct suture (for defect under 2 cm) or by using an interposition venous or prosthetic graft. For this purpose, autol
OTHER: Level II

those tumors located on the confluence (involving the confluence) located on the portal confluence

  • For Level I-II tumors, in case of segmental resection of PV/SMV, the reconstruction was performed by an end-to-end anastomosis either by direct suture (for defect under 2 cm) or by using an interposition venous or prosthetic graft. For this purpose, autol

PROCEDURE: graft reconstruction

  • Regarding Level III tumors, complete resection of the tumor was done either by tangential excision or by partial venous excision and subsequent reconstruction. To maintain a secure anastomosis, the mesenteric root was mobilized completely or/and splenic v
