Background : The incidence of portal vein/superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV) resection during pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer is increasing in clinical practice. This study investigated the clinical significance of preoperative PV/SMV assessment, intraoperative resection, and pathological correlation.

Methods : Total 443 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy at a tertiary center from 2012 to 2017 were analyzed. Subgroup analyses were performed based on preoperative PV/SMV involvement, resection, and margin status.

Results : Total 441 patients analyzed, with 175 PV/SMV involvement in preoperative radiological assessments, and 124 undergoing PV/SMV resection. PV/SMV resection rate was higher in preoperative encasement/invasion compared to abutment and no involvement (72.2% vs 41.2% vs 9.0%, p<0.001). R0 resection rate was higher in PV/SMV resection than without resection (70.2% vs 46.7%, p=0.001); however, true invasion was 59.7% of resections, 34.7% showing no invasion with negative margins. Positive predictive value for preoperative PV/SMV involvement was 61.7%, with 29.3% false negative rate. PV/SMV resection group had poorer survival than without resection (median 19.0 vs 28.0 months, p<0.001). Survival varied significantly with margin status (R0 vs rR1 vs R1, 27.0 vs 26.0 vs 14.5 months, p=0.014). Prognostic factors included CA19-9 >150 U/mL, PV/SMV resection, R status, N stage, perineural invasion, and adjuvant treatment.

Conclusions : PV/SMV resection can ensure R0 resection but may lead to unnecessary resection. The risk of R1 resection, particularly rR1, increases when the PV/SMV is not resected in patients with preoperative involvement. Careful consideration is essential in determining PV/SMV resection. Poorer survival in PV/SMV resection patients highlights the need for tailored treatments, including neoadjuvant therapy, in anticipated PV/SMV resections.
