Abstract
Introduction

The aim of our study is to assess the accumulated experience in the use of uncinatectomy (UC) as a parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy technique.

Method

We have carried out a observational and descriptive study including restrospectively all the patients undergoing UC at Hospital Universitary de Bellvitge (HUB) and an exhaustive review of the cases described in the english literature.

Results

From 2003 to 2019, seven patients have been operated by UC in the HUB with a diagnostic orientation of pancreatic lesion considered premalignant. All patients have presented morbidity, mainly in the form of postoperative pancreatic fistula, and none of them have presented endocrine or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Currently, all patients are alive and without recurrence of neoplastic disease. Another 29 cases have been described in the literature. Of all the cases (36 patients), the approach was minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) in 6 patients (16.7%), leading to a shorter hospital stay. The global incidence of pancreatic fistula is 50%, with a re-admission rate of less than 10%, but without requiring re-intervention.

Conclusions

UC is an infrequent and poorly standardized technique for the resection of benign lesions or those with low potential for malignancy located in the uncinate process of the pancreas. Although it is associated with equal or greater morbidity than standardized resection techniques, it offers excellent preservation of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic function, with the consequent long-term benefit in the patients life quality.

Resumen
Introducción

El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es evaluar la experiencia acumulada en el empleo de la uncinectomía (UC) como técnica de pancreatectomía conservadora de parénquima.

Método

Estudio observacional y descriptivo que incluye retrospectivamente todos los pacientes intervenidos mediante la técnica de UC en Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge (HUB), y revisión exhaustiva de los casos descritos en la literatura inglesa hasta la actualidad.

Resultados

Desde el 2003 hasta el 2019 han sido intervenidos 7 pacientes mediante UC en el HUB con orientación diagnóstica de lesión pancreática considerada premaligna. Todos los pacientes han presentado morbilidad, fundamentalmente en forma de fístula pancreática postoperatoria y ninguno de ellos ha presentado insuficiencia pancreática endocrina ni exocrina. Actualmente todos los pacientes se encuentran vivos y sin recidiva de enfermedad neoplásica. Otros 29 casos han sido descritos en la literatura. Del total de los casos (36 pacientes), el abordaje ha sido mínimamente invasivo (laparoscópico o robotizado) en 6 pacientes (16,7%) conllevando una estancia hospitalaria inferior. La incidencia global de fístula pancreática es del 50% comportando una tasa de re-ingreso inferior al 10% pero sin necesitar re-intervención.

Conclusión

La UC es una técnica infrecuente y poco estandarizada para la resección de lesiones benignas o de bajo potencial de malignidad localizadas en el proceso uncinado del páncreas. Aunque se asocia a una morbilidad igual o superior a las técnicas de resección estandarizadas, ofrece una preservación excelente de la función endocrina y exocrina pancreática, con el consiguiente beneficio en la calidad de vida de los pacientes a largo plazo.
