Right hemicolectomy combined with duodenum-jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis for hepatic colon carcinoma invading the duodenum: A single-center case series.

Abstract

Hepatic colon carcinoma invading the duodenum is not common in clinical practice. Surgical treatment of colonic hepatic cancer that invades the duodenum is difficult, and the surgical risk is high. To discuss the efficacy and safety of duodenum-jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis for the treatment of hepatic colon carcinoma invading the duodenum. From 2016 to 2020, 11 patients from Panzhihua Central Hospital diagnosed with hepatic colon carcinoma were enrolled in this study. Clinical and therapeutic effects and prognostic indicators were retrospectively analyzed to determine the efficacy and safety of our surgical procedures. All patients underwent radical resection of right colon cancer combined with duodenum-jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis. The median tumor size was 65 mm (r50-90). Major complications (Clavien-DindoI-II) occurred in 3 patients (27.3%); the average length of hospital stay was 18.09 ± 4.21 d; and only 1 patient (9.1%) was readmitted during the 1st mo after the surgery. The 30-d mortality rate was 0%. After a median follow-up of 41 m (r7-58), the disease-free survival at 1, 2, and 3 years was 90.9%, 90.9% and 75.8%, respectively; the overall survival at 1, 2, and 3 years was 90.9%. In selected patients, radical resection of right colon cancer combined with duodenum-jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis is clinically effective, and the complications are manageable. The surgical procedure also has an acceptable morbidity rate and mid-term survival.
