BACKGROUND: Reported series of a distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR) are either small or not adequately controlled. The aim of this analysis was to report a multicentre series of modified Appleby procedures with a comparison group to determine the relative operative risk. METHODS: Data were gathered through the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) Pancreatectomy Demonstration Project. Over 14 months, 822 patients underwent a distal pancreatectomy at 43 institutions. Twenty of these patients (2.4%) also underwent a celiac axis resection. DP-CAR patients were matched by age, gender, BMI, serum albumin, ASA class, gland texture, duct size and pathology to 172 patients undergoing DP alone. RESULTS: The majority of DP and DP-CAR patients had adenocarcinomas (61% and 60%). The median operative time for a DP alone was shorter than for a DP-CAR (207 versus 276 min, P < 0.01). Post-operative acute kidney injury (1% versus 10%, P < 0.03) and 30-day mortality were higher after a DP-CAR (1% versus 10%, P < 0.03). CONCLUSION: A distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection is associated with increased operative time, post-operative acute kidney injury and a 10% operative mortality. The decision to offer a modified Appleby procedure for a body of pancreas tumour should be made with full disclosure of the increased risks.
