INTRODUCTION: Short-term outcomes after distal pancreatectomy (DP) for retroperitoneal (RP) tumors are unknown. We sought to identify rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and morbidity after en bloc DP with RP tumor resection. METHODS: A retrospective review of 43 patients who underwent DP with RP tumor resection (1/2011-12/2017) was performed. RESULTS: Seventeen patients had RP sarcoma, 12 renal cell carcinoma, 11 gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and 3 adrenocortical carcinoma. Grade III-IV complications occurred in 7 patients. Grade B POPF occurred in 14 patients, grade C POPF in none, and biochemical leak in 6. Of 22 patients who developed radiographically evident peri-pancreatic fluid collections, 7 required percutaneous drainage. The 90-day readmission rate was 33%. CONCLUSIONS: DP with RP tumor resection is associated with high rates of clinically relevant POPF compared to historical results for DP for primary pancreatic tumors. Multi-center studies to identify targetable predictors and risk mitigation strategies for POPF in this rare high-risk population are needed.
