Is minimally invasive (robot) #Whipple surgery just as safe as open surgery?

Today: #DIPLOMA2 RCT in @NEJMEvidence
➡️ https://t.co/hxoIzVHpfB

288 patients, 14 expert centers, 6 countries 🇳🇱🇮🇹🇩🇪🇧🇪🇪🇸🇸🇪): MIS equally safe as open in experienced centers. With faster recovery, fewer wound complications, less pancreatic fistula, and a shorter hospital stay.

🧠 You can shrink the tumour—but not the tumour bed.
New RAPIDO analysis in BJS 2025 shows why small margins after TNT can turn dangerous 👇

💡 Trial: RAPIDO (n = 920, LARC)
🎯 TNT = 5×5 Gy + 6 CAPOX / 9 FOLFOX → TME
vs CRT = 25–28×1.8–2 Gy + capecitabine → TME

📊 8-year results:
• LRR 10.8% (TNT) vs 5.8% (CRT) → HR 1.91
• Spike seen only after sphincter-preserving surgery (SPS)
 → 12.1% (TNT) vs 4.8% (CRT) (HR 2.6)
• 🚨 If distal margin ≤ 10 mm → 25.4% (TNT) vs 1.8% (CRT) 💥 (HR 15.5)

🔍 Why?
TNT causes tumour shrinkage but leaves scattered viable cells in the original tumour bed.
✂️ Cutting “too close” (<1 cm) may slice through microscopic disease → higher local recurrence.

🇸🇪🇳🇱 Geography tells the story:
Sweden = more APR → no difference
Netherlands = more SPS & tight margins → higher TNT LRR

🩻 Takeaway:
TNT reduces distant mets ✅ but may raise local relapse if DRM ≤ 1 cm ⚠️
➡️ Surgeons must factor in baseline tumour bed, not just post-TNT shrinkage.

[Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery @surgery81261]

D3 dissection with or without left colic artery preservation showed similar anastomotic leak rates (7.9% vs. 7.1%) and comparable 5-year OS (90.1% vs. 89.3%) and RFS (77.6% and 77.3%) in rectal cancer surgery, indicating LCA preservation neither increases leaks nor worsens oncologic outcomes.🇯🇵

Surgeons face a higher divorce rate (21.3%) compared to nonsurgeon physicians (17.9%) but lower than the general population (26.8%). Factors like long work hours and burnout highlight the importance of promoting work-life balance solutions.

The #RELARC trial was highly-anticipated, but scarcely-discussed online when it was published this Fall.

This was a massive effort from 17 hospitals in China that randomized >1000 patients with right-sided colon cancer to either CME or the more-traditional D2 dissection.

They found no benefit to CME in terms of 3-year DFS or OS.

I would love to hear the thoughts of both pro-CME and anti-CME surgeons.

Also, happy holidays to everyone!

Does the impact of pancreatic fistula (POPF) differ between minimally invasive (MIPD) and open (OPD) Whipple?

Today in @JAMASurgery
In pts with POPF after MIPD vs OPD:
⬆️ more secondary clinically relevant complications ⚠️
⬆️ more hemorrhage 🩸
⬆️ longer hospital stay 🏥
⬆️ more reoperations 🔪

🔑 POPF prevention remains highly relevant, especially in MIPD
