Long-term impact of replaced right hepatic artery resection in pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Updates in Surgery 2024 March 26
The clinical impact of replaced right hepatic artery (rRHA) resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not been thoroughly investigated. We therefore assessed the short- and long-term effects of rRHA resection during PD, with special reference to alterations in the volumetric profile of the liver. Patients with rRHA were divided into two groups based on the presence (R group) or absence (nR group) of resection. The nR group included cases of rRHA resection and reconstruction. We compared the postoperative short-term complications and detailed liver volume profile by CT volumetry in the long term between the R and nR groups. Forty-seven patients were eligible for the analyses of short-term outcomes (R: n = 7, nR: n = 40), and no marked difference was observed in the incidence of short-term postoperative complications. The patient cohort for the long-term investigations included 34 cases (R: n = 6, nR: n = 28), excluding patients with early recurrence. There was no significant difference in the preoperative liver volume profiles between the two groups. At 12 postoperative months, although the whole liver (WL) volume did not significantly change in either group, the ratio of the volume of the anterior/posterior sections significantly increased in the R group (R: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.01 vs. 1.28, p < 0.05; nR: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.40 vs. 1.33, p = 0.99). Long-term rRHA resection did not significantly affect the WL volume with alteration of the liver volumetric profile of each section.
