Aim : Transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) can be performed for periampullary tumors. However, the laparoscopic approach has rarely been attempted. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic TDA (L-TDA).
Material &Methods : From April 2009 to March 2011, 4 patiens with diagnosis of ampullary tumors, were unable to treated using endoscopic resection because of large size and evidence of malignancy based on endoscopic appearance, underwent L-TDA. We retrospectively reviewd the demographics, pathologic findings, and outcomes.
Result : Four patients underwent L-TDA in our center. The mean age of the patients was 51.8 ± 18.8 year old. There were 2 men and 2 women. Final pathology showed 2 tubular adenoma with high-grade dysplasia, 2 tubulovillous adenoma including 1 with high-grade dysplasia. The mean size of tumors was 3.8 ± 1.8 cm. The resection margin of all tumors was negative. Mean operative time was 197 ± 47.9 min and mean postoperative hospital stay was 12.5 ± 2.4 days. There were no recurrence and complications during 14.8 ± 9.9 months, mean follow up time.
Conclusion : L-TDA was feasible and safe for the treatment of ampullary tumors, especillay unsuitable for endoscopic resection. We must consider L-TDA as treatment option in ampullary tumors.
