Overview

Multicenter cohort study compares minimally invasive and open approaches for pancreatic surgery, suggesting similar outcomes.

Key Points

  • To compare the surgical radicality and postoperative outcomes of minimally invasive versus open RAMPS for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
  • Conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study across three Austrian centers.
  • Included patients undergoing RAMPS for suspected malignant pancreatic lesions from 2016 to 2023.
  • Grouped patients by surgical approach: minimally invasive or open surgery.
  • R0 resection margin rates were 92.9% for MI and 85% for open surgery (p = 0.484).
  • Median lymph node yield was similar: 16 for MI versus 19 for open (p = 0.314).
  • Two-year overall survival rates were comparable: 71.6% for MI and 66.4% for open (p = 0.479).
  • No significant differences in postoperative complications were noted between approaches.
