Long-Term Survival Outcomes After Minimally Invasive Surgery for Ileal Neuroendocrine Tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ileal neuroendocrine tumors (i-NETs) are characterized by their multifocality and bulky mesenteric mass. Having shown that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) utilizing a hand-access port device has favorable short-term outcomes and achieves the goals of surgery for i-NETs, we sought to analyze long-term survival outcomes of MIS.

Methods

One hundred and sixty-eight patients who underwent resection of primary i-NETs at a single institution between January 2007 and February 2023 were retrospectively studied. Patients were categorized into the MIS or open surgery cohorts on an intention-to-treat basis. Open surgery was selected mainly based on the need for hepatectomy or bulky mesenteric mass resection. Overall survival was analyzed using log-rank tests with propensity
