Short‐ and long‐term surgical outcomes of pancreatic resection for retroperitoneal sarcoma: A long‐term single‐center experience of 90 cases

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Resection of retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) en bloc with pancreas is challenging and controversial. This single-center retrospective study aimed to analyze the impact of pancreatic resection (PR) and its different types on short-and long-term outcomes in patients with RPS.

Delayed gastric emptying after aggressive surgery for retroperitoneal sarcoma – Incidence, characteristics, and risk factors

“…During resection of RPS, removal of the pancreas is sometimes necessary for oncological or technical reasons. However, compared to combined resection of other organs (such as the colon and kidney), combined resection of the pancreas for RPS is more controversial due to the potentially high risk of morbidity and mortality (40)(41)(42)(43). In the current study, the prominent complications after combined pancreatic resection included POPF, abdominal infection, and abdominal bleeding, which were also found to be the most common complications leading to DGE.…”

Multivisceral Oncological Resections Involving the Pancreas: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Among abdominal tumors in locally advanced stages such as sarcomas, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gastric cancer, the organs most frequently subjected to resection encompass the colon, gallbladder, stomach, liver, kidney, and notably, the pancreas [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 6 ]. While isolated pancreatic operations are acknowledged as intricate interventions bearing considerable risks, including considerable mortality and morbidity rates [ 2 , 4 ], a noteworthy proportion of patients, roughly one-third, undergo pancreatic resection as part of a multivisceral resection [ 7 ]. If oncological multivisceral resections include high risk interventions such as a pancreas resection, this can be associated with an additional increase in complication rates [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 ].…”
