Built from Maingot's Abdominal Operations
What’s inside
6 sections · 101 slides
Overview
- Scope of this perspective
- Anatomy of the pancreas that the argument rests on
- Exocrine and endocrine pancreas
- Why the topic has changed in one generation
Staging cancer of the pancreatic head
Reading the tumour-vessel relationship on CT, and deciding what to do first
- Purpose of preoperative staging
- Case for referral to a high-volume centre
- Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy of the pancreas
- Fine-needle aspiration cytology of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
- Arteries and veins that define resectability
- Celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery around the pancreas
- Imaging features of early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
- Pancreatic-region mass on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT
- Varadhachary CT-based classification
- Assumptions built into the Varadhachary definitions
- Varadhachary/Katz CT staging system for adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head and uncinate process
- Reading the staging table
- Katz subtypes of borderline resectable disease
- Three forms of borderline resectable disease
- Type B: the biologic borderline patient
- Type C: the physiologic borderline patient
- What the Katz classification contributed
- AHPBA-SSO-SSAT consensus definition of resectable
- Two definitions of resectable compared
- Current consensus when surgery comes first
- Open questions in borderline resectable disease
- Regimens borrowed from metastatic disease
- Parts of the schedule that remain undefined
- ACOSOG Z5041 trial
Pancreaticoduodenectomy and local recurrence
The superior mesenteric artery dissection, and why the cancer comes back where it does
- Pancreaticoduodenectomy in outline
- Reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy
- Exposing the superior mesenteric artery
- Pathophysiology of local recurrence
- How perineural spread produces local recurrence
- Consequence of better systemic therapy
Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas
Serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystic neoplasm and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
