Multivisceral Oncological Resections Involving the Pancreas - An International Multicenter Study

• Concerning pancreatic malignancies, multivisceral pancreatic resection refers to the excision of organs beyond the pancreas or spleen in cases of distal pancreatectomy (DP). For multivisceral pancreaticoduodenectomies or total pancreatectomies, the resection encompasses additional organs other than the distal two-thirds of the stomach, duodenum with the first jejunal loop, bile duct including the gallbladder, and spleen. It is important to note that additional procedures like portal vein resection or splenectomy are not categorized as multivisceral resections within the respective resection types. In cases involving non-pancreatic malignancies, any surgical procedure that includes resection of the pancreas along with other organs will be classified as a multivisceral resection. Notably, patients who underwent isolated pancreatic resection for pancreatic metastasis or revision pancreatectomies will be excluded from this analysis. Patients who were not undergoing oncological resections (e. g. traumatic lesions) or those who did not undergo surgery as "curative intent" will be also excluded from the study.
