What is the role of pancreatectomy for RCC pancreatic metastases in the immunotherapy era?
In 62 patients:
• 51.6% had isolated pancreatic disease
• 64.5% had a solitary lesion
• 5-year recurrence: 60% with isolated pancreatic vs 89% with multi-site disease
• OS remained comparable across groups
🎯 Take-home: Pancreatectomy offers good survival in selected patients and may help defer immunotherapy.hpbonline.org/article/S1365-…

⁉️How to identify and manage a #Bile #leak during 🤖 #Robotic #Whipple? @SurgEndosc
🔑During 238 procedures: 9% intraop bile leak detected by routine “HJ gauze test” 💡 and immediately treated
✅ Good outcomes with (if possible) direct sutures or (mostly; in case of small tears from suturing): “anchoring suture” onto the hilair plate
👏Excellent teamwork @amsterdamumc with @HpbKarolinska Oskar Swartling @sparrelid @EAHPBA @IHPBA
