The study revealed that dividing the splenic vein during pancreaticoduodenectomy increases the incidence of variceal formation and bleeding, as well as causing thrombocytopenia in patients. These findings suggest the importance of careful consideration of splenic vein management during surgery.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate how often left-sided portal hypertension (LPH) develops and how LPH affects the long-term outcomes of patients with pancreatic cancer treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and resection of the portal vein (PV)/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) confluence. Summary Background Data: Little is known about LPH after PD with resection of the PV/SMV confluence. Methods: Overall, 536 patients who underwent PD with PV/SMV resection were enrolled. Among them, we mainly compared the SVp group [n=285; the splenic vein (SV) was preserved] and the SVr group (n = 227; the SV was divided and not reconstructed). Results: The incidence of variceal formation in the SVr group increased until 3 years after PD compared with that in the SVp group (38.7% vs 8.3%, P < 0.001). Variceal bleeding occurred in the SVr group (n = 9: 4.0%) but not in the SVp group (P < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the risk factors for variceal formation were liver disease, N factor, conventional PD, middle colic artery resection, and SV division. The only risk factor for variceal bleeding was SV division. The platelet count ratio at 6 months after PD was significantly lower in the SVr group than in the SVp group (0.97 vs 0.82, P < 0.001), and the spleen-volume ratios at 6 and 12 months were significantly higher in the SVr group than in the SVp group (1.38 vs 1.00 and 1.54 vs 1.09; P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: PD with SV division causes variceal formation, bleeding, and thrombocytopenia.
