National adoption of neoadjuvant chemotherapy: paradigm shift in the treatment of pancreatic cancer
HPBIbrahim Nassour, et. al
2023-07-04
The historical standard of care in treating operable pancreatic cancer via upfront surgery has been challenged recently using a neoadjuvant approach. The aim of the study is to examine the national practice patterns in the management of pancreatic cancer with an emphasis on the trends of neoadjuvant systemic therapy use.
Novel Calculator to Estimate the Risk of Clinically Relevant Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula Following Distal Pancreatectomy

Drain management algorithms are based on studies that predict clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) using drain fluid amylase level on POD1 (DFA1). These studies are focused on pancreaticoduodenectomy which is inherently different than distal pancreatectomy. Moreover, the change of DFA between POD1 and POD3 (ΔDFA) is underutilized despite its importance in predicting CR-POPF.
Minimally Invasive Techniques for Pancreatic Resection
Surgical Oncology ClinicsIbrahim Nassour, et. al

There is increasing interest in the role of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for pancreatectomy. Prospective data indicate significant advantages for MIS when performed for left-sided pancreatic pathologies and may be deemed as the standard of care. However, there is reluctance in implementing this technique to pancreaticoduodenectomy because of the complexity of the operation and the mixed results from randomized trials.
