1DepartmentofDigestiveandLiverDisease, S.AndreaHospital, Rome, Italy2Department of Radiology, S. Andrea Hospital, Rome, ItalyBackground: Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy (SRS) at diagnosis of
Digestive Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (DNENs) helps to select pts fortherapy with somatostatin analogs, but its role in follow-up is unclear.
Aim: To compare, in a series of sporadic pancreatic (PNENs) and intestinalNENs (INENs), sensitivity and specificity of SRS and CTscan (CT) in detectingprogressive disease (PD) (RECIST criteria) and presence of metastases.
Methods: retrospective analysis of consecutive PNENs and INENs pts,positive at SRS (1995-2011). After diagnosis, CT was usually repeated every6 months, SRS yearly. Follow-up time was divided into 12 month-units,analyzed separately, in which pts had at least 1 CT and 1 SRS. Sensitivityand specificity were compared by McNemar test (P< 0.05).
Results: 91 pts (39 M, median age 53): 41 PNENs, 50 INENs. MedianKi67 3%. Total observation units: 280 (median 3). Median progression-freesurvival: 44 months. PD detection (SRS vs CT): sensitivity 35.8% vs 97.4% (P<0.001), specificity 95.7% vs 97.8% (P¼0.6). IPD as size increase (SRS vs CT):sensitivity 10.5% vs 94.7% (P<0.001), specificity 98% vs 100% (P¼0.2). PD aslesions’ number increase (SRS vs CT): sensitivity 41.3% vs 96.8% (P<0.001),specificity 98.2% vs 98.2% (p¼1). Liver lesions detection (SRS vs CT): sen-sitivity 79% vs 97.9% (P<0.001); specificity 97.4% vs 99.1% (P¼0.6). Lymphnodal metastases detection (SRS vs CT): sensitivity 28.8% vs 94.9%(P<0.001); specificity 97.5% vs 99.5% (P¼0.2). Extra-abdominal lesionsdetection (SRS vs CT): sensitivity 50% vs 86.4% (P¼0.05); specificity 97.9%vs 99.6% (P¼0.2).
Conclusions: In DNENs, SRS has a pivotal role at diagnosis to decidetherapy, but in follow-up CT may be sufficient.

Department of General Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of NanjingMedical University, Nanjing, ChinaBackground: Middle-segment preserving subtotal pancreatectomy
(MPSTP) was regarded as a reasonable choice for treating multifocal body-sparing lesions of the pancreas in benign or low-grade malignant disease.
Aims: To investigate the short-term outcomes, especially its effect onendocrine function of pancreas after this organ-preserving procedure.
Methods: From September 2011 to May 2012, five patients underwentMPSTP in our institution, a high-volume center in China. Perioperativedata were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Patients were 3 women and 2 men, with a median age of 50year-old (37-81 year-old). One patient had past history of diabetes. Pre-operative CT examinations revealed multicentric lesions located in headand tail of the pancreas. Four patients underwent pylorus-preservingpancreaticoduodenectomywith distal pancreatectomy (DP), including twowith spleen additionally reserved. The other patient underwent Beger'sprocedure and spleen-preserving DP. Median operation time and esti-mated intraoperative blood loss were 330min (250-600min) and 800mL(400-5500mL), respectively. Pathologic examination demonstrated threecases of metastatic lesions (renal clear cell carcinoma, dermatofi-brosarcoma protuberans, and malignant pheochromocytoma) to the pan-creas, one chronic pancreatitis and one neuroendocrine tumor.Postoperative complications included two cases of pancreatic fistula, threedelayed gastric emptying, one abdominal fluid collection and one pleuraleffusion. Follow-up studies revealed deteriorated diabetic status in onepatient, and the rest four kept well-controlled serum glucose level withoutany medication. No symptoms of hypoglycemia was identified.

Conclusion: MPSTP is a safe and feasible procedure for benign or low-grade malignant multifocal lesions in pancreas, while for most important,patients seem to have a more stable serum glucose level after surgery.

Surgical management of stenotic pancreaticojejunostomy after pan-creatic surgery

Department of General Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of NanjingMedical University, Nanjing, ChinaBackground: Stenosis of pancreaticojejunostomy (P-J) is one of the
long-term complications after pancreatic surgery with pancreaticojejunalanastomosis. As patients with long-term survival increase, this complica-tion increasingly draws people's interests.
Aims: To introduce a simple and effective surgical intervention for P-Jstenosis.
Methods: Two patients with past history of pancreatic resection wereidentified with P-J stricture. Laparotomy was carried out and P-J waspartially re-did to restore patency of the anastomosis.
Results: Repeated onset of pancreatitis was the chief complaint of bothpatients. The original pancreatic surgeries are pancreaticoduodenectomyandmiddle segment pancreatectomy for benign conditions. Preoperative CTexaminations showed a dilatedWirsung's ductwithout identifiable mass orstones. The P-J was partially cut open at the anterior aspect of the anasto-mosis, leaving the posterior side intact. Stricture at the side of pancreaticstumpwas incised to expose the dilated duct, and a compatible openingwasmade at the jejunal side. After ruling out recurrence by frozen section,a partially new-made P-J was accomplished by placing stitches betweenpancreatic parenchyma and full thickness of jejunal wall. The pancreaticduct and jejunal mucosa should be diligently approximated together. Fol-low-up studies showed no recurrent symptoms after the second surgery.
Conclusion: P-J stenosis is not a rare complication after pan-creaticojejunal anastomosis. Surgery remains a safe and reliable method inrelieving the anastomotic stricture. We thought our choice of partialreconstruction of the P-J anastomosis will effectively diminish the stenosiswhile simplify the surgery to the maximum extent.

Department of General Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of NanjingMedical University, Nanjing, ChinaBackground: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is one of the most chal-
lenging procedures in general surgery. Better outcomes were reported inexperienced hands and in high-volume centers.
Aim: To investigate short- and long-term outcomes after PD for peri-ampullary lesions in a tertiary teaching hospital in China.
Methods: From January 1986 to April 2012, 1010 patients underwentopen PD in our hospital, including 711 cases of classic PD and 299 pylorus-preserving PD (PPPD). Thirty-seven cases were combined with resection ofadditional organs or major vessels. Data were reviewed and analyzed inretrospective way.
Results: There were 612 male and 398 female patients in this group,with mean age of 57.3�11.8 year-old. The most common pathologicaldiagnosis were pancreatic adenocarcinomas (392/1010, 38.8%), ampullaryadenocarcinomas (262/1010, 25.9%) and duodenal adenocarcinomas (144/1010, 14.3%). Intraoperative data showed a mean operation time of312�73min and a mean estimated blood loss of 575�307mL. The mostfrequent postoperative complications were grade B+C delayed gastricemptying (226/1010, 22.4%), hemorrhage (102/1010, 10.1%), pancreaticfistula (101/1010, 10%), chyle fistula (71/1010, 7.0%), and intraabdominal
