ObjectiveTo compare and analyze the clinical application of robot-assisted parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy (R-PSP) and laparoscopic parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy (L-PSP) in the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN), and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the R-PSP procedure. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of pNEN patients who underwent parenchymal-sparing pancreatectomy in Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from December 2017 to August 2023, and according to the minimally invasive surgical procedure, they were divided into R-PSP group and L-PSP group. R-PSP and L-PSP were compared in terms of the efficacy of minimally invasive procedure, the outcome of postoperative complications, and oncological efficacy. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of ranked data between two groups. ResultsA total of 45 pNEN patients were included, with 9 in the R-PSP group and 36 in the L-PSP group, and there were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in time of operation, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion, and the rate of conversion to laparotomy (all P>0.05). Compared with the L-PSP group, the R-PSP group had a significantly longer length of postoperative hospital stay [10.00 (9.00 — 15.00) days vs 7.50 (6.00 — 10.00) days, Z=-2.356, P=0.017] and significantly higher hospital costs [86 610.44 (81 905.39 — 114 401.24) yuan vs 38 781.20 (31 708.39 — 50 514.76) yuan, Z=-4.001, P<0.001]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence rates of serious postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥Ⅲ), clinically relevant pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, and intra-abdominal infection (all P>0.05). The postoperative 90-day mortality rate was 0% for both groups. ConclusionR-PSP has acceptable safety and efficacy in pNEN patients in clinical practice.

The onset of pancreatic cancer is insidious, and most patients have accompanied by distant metastasis at the time of definite diagnosis. Previously, it was believed that regardless of the size, number and location of metastases, the surgical benefits of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer were extremely limited. However, with the promotion of the concept of oligometastasis in recent years, an increasing number of studies have confirmed that surgical resection after induction therapy can significantly improve the clinical prognosis in some highly selected patients with oligometastatic disease of pancreatic cancer. However, there still remains many controversies about the clear definition, surgical treatment and perioperative management of oligometastatic disease of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, based on the latest research progress, this article proposes to discuss the related hot topics and disputes in the field of oligometastatic disease of pancreatic cancer for purpose of promoting the standardization of the treatment of oligometastatic disease of pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is characterized by high malignancy and difficult early diag-nosis, with the majority of patients presenting at advanced, unresectable stages at the time of initial diagnosis. The efficacy of conventional treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemo-therapy, has reached a therapeutic plateau. The concept of precision medicine has gradually infiltrated the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer, driving the advancement of individua-lized therapies. Large-scale, multi-center studies have significantly advanced the molecular classifica-tion of pancreatic cancer, providing a basis for personalized treatment. Minimally invasive surgery, especially robotic surgery, has seen significant development and is increasingly entering clinical practice. The development of personalized drug screening, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy has paved new avenues for precision treatment. The authors review the latest research progress both domestically and internationally, discussing the application of precision medicine in the treat-ment of pancreatic cancer, aiming to improve patient prognosis.

Abdominal surgery as a common type of clinical surgery, postoperative treat-ment and rehabilitation has always been the focus of surgeons. Somatostatin drugs are commonly used for postoperative bleeding, portal hypertension bleeding, and prophylactic treatment of com-plications such as acute pancreatitis. However, the standardized application of somatostatin still faces numerous challenges in clinical practice. The famous experts and their teams in the field of digestive surgery, medical insurance expert and lawyer, combined with the experience of their respective centers, under the new national medical insurance policy, explore the significance of treatment and rehabilitation after abdominal surgery and the application strategy of somatostatin drugs from different angles. Professor Zhang Taiping succinctly explained the incidence and harm of gastro-intestinal fistula, pointing out that "how to heal the fistula in a short time" is the main rehabilitation goal and the treatment is mainly comprehensive treatment. Professor Chen Chaowu comprehen-sively introduces diagnostic and treatment processes for several representative cases encountered in clinical practice while sharing his team′s rich clinical experience and posing reflective questions. Professor Li Fei starts with practical cases, focusing on duodenal fistula, including fistula caused by complications after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, with special emphasis on Stanford classification and different types of treatment. Ms. Zhang Qun interprets national medical insurance policies. She emphasizes the significance of supervising medical insurance funds and shares experiences related to issues regarding autonomous management by healthcare institutions. Lawyer Li Hongqi provides comprehensive suggestions on rational use of drug based on policy guidance and practical cases.
