摘要
BACKGROUND Many authorities advocate for Whipple's procedures to be performed in high-volume centers, but many patients in poor developing nations cannot access these centers. We sought to determine whether clinical outcomes were acceptable when Whipple's procedures were performed in a low-volume, resource-poor setting in the West Indies. AIM To study outcomes of Whipple's procedures in a pancreatic unit in the West Indies over an eight-year period from June 1, 2013 to June 30, 2021. METHODS This was a retrospective study of all patients undergoing Whipple's procedures in a pancreatic unit in the West Indies over an eight-year period from June 1, 2013 to June 30, 2021. RESULTS This center performed an average of 11.25 procedures per annum. There were 72 patients in the final study population at a mean age of 60.2 years, with 52.7% having American Society of Anesthesiologists scores >= III and 54.1% with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scores >= 2. Open Whipple's procedures were performed in 70 patients and laparoscopic assisted procedures in 2. Portal vein resection/reconstruction was performed in 19 (26.4%) patients. In patients undergoing open procedures there was 367 +/- 54.1 min mean operating time, 1394 +/- 656.8 mL mean blood loss, 5.24 +/- 7.22 d mean intensive care unit stay and 15.1 +/- 9.53 d hospitalization. Six (8.3%) patients experienced minor morbidity, 10 (14%) major morbidity and there were 4 (5.5%) deaths. CONCLUSION This paper adds to the growing body of evidence that volume alone should not be used as a marker of quality for patients requiring Whipple's procedures. Low volume centers in resource poor nations can achieve good short-term outcomes. This is largely due to the process of continuous, adaptive learning by the entire hospital.
