Accurate identification of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) is crucial for maintaining surgical safety and achieving optimal oncological outcomes. To address these challenges, this study proposes the terminal ileal vein (TIV) approach, a novel technique designed to facilitate precise SMV identification and enable en bloc resection of the ileal mesentery while preserving mesenteric integrity. This retrospective cohort study evaluated a novel TIV approach compared to the traditional ileocolic vascular pedicle (IVP) approach for SMV identification and en bloc mesentery resection in patients with right-sided colon cancer. A total of 196 patients underwent Lap-RHC between 2022 and 2023, with 67 patients matched by propensity score included in both groups. The TIV approach involves initiating dissection at the TIV to accurately locate the SMV and facilitate en bloc resection of the ileal mesentery. In the balanced cohort, statistically significant differences were observed between groups regarding operation times (186 [120-299] vs. 210 [146-375] minutes, p = 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss (50 [20-400] vs. 70 [20-600] mL, p = 0.033). Differences were also found for time to urinary catheter removal (1 [1-3] vs. 2 [1-5] days, p = 0.012) and postoperative hospital stays (6 [5-12] vs. 7 [5-15] days, p = 0.006). The calculated importance proportion of the TIV approach related to these perioperative variables was between 15 and 25%. In this retrospective cohort, the TIV approach demonstrated reproducible entry into the mesenteric dissection plane and was accompanied by perioperative outcome differences that may reflect technical simplification. Further prospective investigation is needed to determine its clinical utility.</p>","PeriodicalId":23391,"journal":{"name":"Updates in Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144217075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study compared the short-term postoperative results of patients at increased risk of POPF undergoing pancreaticojejunal (PJ) anastomosis with and without internal biodegradable stent. Data from a prospectively collected database of patients undergoing PD at increased risk of POPF (ISGPS type B, C, D) between January 2017 and June 2023 were retrieved and analyzed, comparing the postoperative outcomes of those with and without an internal biodegradable stent, using a propensity score matching analysis. In the study period, 183 patients were selected. After matching, a total of 59 with stent (SG) and 59 without (NSG) were compared. The overall POPF rate was 21.2%. No difference was seen between the groups regarding POPF and other postoperative outcomes. A higher rate of biochemical leakage in the SG (53.1% vs 31.9%, p 0.033) was found among patients in the type D class of risk. The present study showed no significant difference in terms of 90-day overall, severe and pancreas-specific postoperative complications among patients at increased risk of POPF who received PJ anastomosis with and without internal biodegradable stent.</p>","PeriodicalId":23391,"journal":{"name":"Updates in Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144143565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
