Résumé

Postoperative acute pancreatitis (POAP) emerges as a distinct pancreas-specific complication increasing both the risk and the burden of POPF after pancreatoduodenectomy. Among various risk factors, pancreas stump (PS) hypoperfusion might play a role in POAP occurrence but has never been investigated. The current study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of intraoperative fluorescence angiography (IOFA) of the PS using ICG and its association with POAP. Consecutive patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for a periampullary tumor with pancreatojejunostomy and PS perfusion assessment using IOFA between January 2020 and November 2020 were prospectively included. Perioperative management and surgical strategy were standardized. IOFA of the pancreas stump was performed before fashioning pancreatojejunostomy. POAP was defined according to the Connor definition and was confirmed upon radiological blind review. Outcomes between patients with normally perfused and hypoperfused PS were compared. POAP was the primary endpoint. Among 30 patients, nine patients (30%) developed POAP according to the Connor definition, and six patients (20%) had CT-confirmed POAP. Upon IOFA, six patients (20%) presented PS hypoperfusion; of which one patient underwent extended pancreatectomy further to the left. PS hypoperfusion was statistically associated with the occurrence of POAP (80% vs. 16%; p = 0.011) and CT-confirmed POAP (60% vs. 12%; p = 0.041). Clinically relevant POPF rate was 40% in case of PS hypoperfusion and 4% in case of normal PS perfusion (p = 0.064). PS perfusion assessment using IOFA seems safe and reliable to anticipate POAP. PS IOFA could be considered as a potential tool for perioperative assessment of surgical risk after pancreatoduodenectomy.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Postoperative acute pancreatitis (POAP) emerges as a distinct pancreas-specific complication increasing both the risk and the burden of POPF after pancreatoduodenectomy. Among various risk factors, pancreas stump (PS) hypoperfusion might play a role in POAP occurrence but has never been investigated. The current study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of intraoperative fluorescence angiography (IOFA) of the PS using ICG and its association with POAP.
METHODS METHODS
Consecutive patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for a periampullary tumor with pancreatojejunostomy and PS perfusion assessment using IOFA between January 2020 and November 2020 were prospectively included. Perioperative management and surgical strategy were standardized. IOFA of the pancreas stump was performed before fashioning pancreatojejunostomy. POAP was defined according to the Connor definition and was confirmed upon radiological blind review. Outcomes between patients with normally perfused and hypoperfused PS were compared. POAP was the primary endpoint.
RESULTS RESULTS
Among 30 patients, nine patients (30%) developed POAP according to the Connor definition, and six patients (20%) had CT-confirmed POAP. Upon IOFA, six patients (20%) presented PS hypoperfusion; of which one patient underwent extended pancreatectomy further to the left. PS hypoperfusion was statistically associated with the occurrence of POAP (80% vs. 16%; p = 0.011) and CT-confirmed POAP (60% vs. 12%; p = 0.041). Clinically relevant POPF rate was 40% in case of PS hypoperfusion and 4% in case of normal PS perfusion (p = 0.064).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
PS perfusion assessment using IOFA seems safe and reliable to anticipate POAP. PS IOFA could be considered as a potential tool for perioperative assessment of surgical risk after pancreatoduodenectomy.
