摘要

Purpose

Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are the most common malignancy of the small bowel. Curative treatment is surgical, with exploratory laparotomy considered the standard approach. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery compared to open approach for SI-NETs at the Endocrine surgical unit at Uppsala University Hospital.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent surgery for SI-NET between 2013 and 2023 at Uppsala University Hospital. Variables such as operative time, length of hospital stay, use of analgesia and radicality were compared between groups of patients operated on before and after 2019, when hand-port assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) for SI-NETs was introduced at our unit. Outcomes were further compared between open and hand-port assisted laparoscopic approaches. The primary outcome was the rate of radicality achieved for stage II-III patients. Secondary outcomes included operative time, the length of hospital stay and the use of epidural and patient-controlled analgesia.

Results

Of 97 patients, 58 (59.8%) underwent open surgery and 39 (40.2%) underwent hand-port assisted laparoscopic surgery. There was no significant difference in operative time (121 min [91.3–150.3] vs 108 min [83–141]), length of hospital stay, 6 days [4–7] vs 5 days [4–8]), and surgical radicality in patients with stage II-III, 85.2% vs 100%, (p = 0.079). 86.2% of patients with explorative laparotomy required epidural analgesia compared to only 23.1% with HALS (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Hand-port assisted laparoscopic surgery of SI-NETs is a feasible approach that preserves radical resection while enhancing postoperative recovery, with a lower requirement of epidural analgesia.
