Abstract
- BACKGROUND/AIMS: In the advanced stage of hepatobiliary malignancies, concurrent hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) is necessary to accomplish curative resection, even though high rates of morbidity and mortality still remain. METHODOLOGY: We examined the surgical records and outcome in 11 patients undergoing HPD. RESULTS: In 11 patients, diseases included bile duct carcinomas in 7 patients, gallbladder carcinomas in 3, and ampullar carcinoma in one. Hemi-hepatectomy with resection of the caudate lobe was performed in 8 patients and resection of segment 4 and 5 of the liver in two. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was performed in 3 patients and pylorus-preserving PD in 8. Curative resection was accomplished in 8 patients. Two patients underwent adjuvant photodynamic therapy because of a cancer-positive margin. Morbidity rate was 36% but no hospital deaths were reported. The tumor recurrence rate was 73% and 8 patients died of cancer. Patient prognosis of gallbladder cancers (12 +/- 1 months) tended to be shorter than in patients with bile duct cancers (19 +/- 11 months) (p=0.15). Three patients with bile duct cancers survived without tumor relapse over 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: Complete surgical resection (R0) by HPD could be safely performed for diseases of the hepatobiliary malignancies, which achieved longer survival in some patients.<br />Hepato-Gastroenterology, 55(86-87), pp.1691-1694; 2008
