Abstract

Prophylactic colon surgery has increased life expectancy of familial adenomatous polyposis patients. Extracolonic manifestations are life limiting, above all duodenal adenomas. Severe duodenal adenomatosis or cancer may necessitate pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy or partial pancreatico-duodenectomy, mostly after previous proctocolectomy and often after limited local resections of duodenal adenomas. Scarce information on long-term postoperative outcome and quality of life after surgery for duodenal adenomatosis is available. Aim of the present study was to analyze perioperative and long-term outcome after PD and PPTD for FAP-associated duodenal adenomatosis, including QoL and recurrence of adenomas in the neoduodenum after PPTD. Thirty-eight patients, 27 after pancreas-preserving duodenectomy and 11 after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy, were included. Pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy was associated with shorter operation time and less blood loss than partial pancreatico-duodenectomy. Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula occurred in 31.5%. In-hospital mortality was 5.3%. Long-term follow-up revealed recurrent pancreatitis after pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy in 22% of patients, two (7.4%) required re-operation. Recurrent adenomatosis was detected in 26% of patients. Quality of life was comparable to the German normal population after both surgical procedures. Patients with postoperative complications showed worse results than those without complications. Disease-specific 10-year survival rate with respect to duodenal adenomatosis was 100%. Surgery for FAP-associated duodenal adenomatosis and cancer can be carried out with reasonable morbidity rates despite previous proctocolectomy. Long-term outcome, quality of life, and survival rates are favorable.
