Evaluating nationwide application of minimally invasive surgery for small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasms and the impact on survival

#3099

Introduction: Open surgery for small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasms (SB-NEN) is still considered standard-of-care, mainly because of frequently encountered multifocality and central mesenteric masses.

Aim(s): The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical approach for SB-NEN at a national level and determine predictors for overall survival.

Materials and methods: Patients with SB-NEN who underwent surgery between 2010-2015 were included from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patient and tumor characteristics were compared between laparoscopic and open approach. Overall survival was assessed by Kaplan-Meier and compared with the Log-rank test. Independent predictors were determined by Cox proportional hazards model.
