Background
Duodenal polyps are uncommon tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The mainstay of management is a therapeutic duodenal endoscopy. Few patients, not amenable to endoscopic resections will require operative intervention. The objective of this study is to evaluate the combined endoscopic and surgical experience related to these neoplasms at our tertiary care center.
Methods
A retrospective review of medical records of all patients with duodenal neoplasia which underwent a pancreas preserving duodenectomy (PPD) or a therapeutic endoscopy from August 2008 to February 2014 was performed. Pathological characteristics of the lesions, endoscopic/ surgical technique and outcomes were analyzed.
Results
One hundred twenty eight patients were identified. Ninety three patients in the endoscopy arm underwent one hundred ten EMRs (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection). The mean polyp size was 15.9 mm. The polyp was removed piecemeal in 53/110 (48%) and en bloc in 57/110(52%). APC (Argon beam coagulation) and hemoclips were used in 59/110 (54%) and 32/110(29%) respectively for hemostasis. Bleeding was noted in 8/110(8.6%) patients.
Thirty five patients underwent a pancreas preserving partial sleeve duodenectomy (PPPSD) (n=20) and a pancreas preserving total duodenectomy (PPTD) (n=15). Surgical approach was laparoscopic (n=25), open (n=7), conversion to open (n=2) and hand assisted (n=1). Reconstruction for infraampullary tumors was performed via a side to side stapled duodenojejunostomy (n=13); for supraampullary tumors an end to side hand sewn post pyloric duodenojejunostomy (n=4) and end to end post pyloric duodenojejunostomy (n=1). Two patients required an antrectomy and a stapled and a hand sewn gastrojejunostomy due to the proximity of the tumor to the pylorus. Mean operative time was 259 minutes and mean length of stay was 6 days (range 3-15 days). Morbidity was 15% with no mortality.
PPTD patients underwent a pancreaticojejunostomy (n=14) and pancreaticogastrostomy (n=1). Gastrointestinal continuity was obtained via an end to side duodenojejunostomy (n=12), end to side gastrojejunostomy (n=2) and gastrojejunostomy (n=1). The mean operative time was 430 minutes and mean length of stay of 13.2 days (range 5-40 days). The morbidity was 53% with no mortality.
Pathology of all surgically resected duodenal lesions revealed TVA (n=14), TA (n=7), adenocarcinoma (n=5), neuroendocrine tumors (n=4), VA (2), leiomyoma (n=1), lymphangiolipoma (n=1) and chronic duodenitis (n=1).
Conclusion
Management of duodenal neoplasia requires a multidisciplinary approach. EMR is the mainstay of therapy and PPD offers a good surgical option for benign lesions not amenable to endoscopic resection and allows pancreas preservation. As expected PPPSD has a lower morbidity compared to PPTD.
