Résumé
Complete surgical resection is the only hope to cure small intestine neuroendocrine neoplasms (SiNENs). However, inadequate lymphadenectomy or entire small bowel palpation for multiple primary tumours renders at least 20% of resections suboptimal. This study was undertaken to investigate reintervention outcomes after initial suboptimal resections (ISORs), and agreement between residual tumour identification on interval imaging and during reintervention. This retrospective, multicentre study included all patients undergoing reintervention within 18 months post ISOR. Disease-free survival (DFS) was defined as the time from reintervention resection date to recurrence or any-cause of death. The kappa coefficient assessed agreement rates between suspected residual tumour on interval imaging and its presence at reintervention. A total of 21 patients underwent reintervention for nonmetastatic SiNENs (median follow-up 2.3 [IQR 0.6-3.75] years). Residual tumour, suspected in 17/21 (81%) patients based on interval imaging, was found in 20/21 (95%) during reintervention. Interval imaging-intraoperative detection agreement was fair for residual primary tumours (kappa = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.05-0.62; p = .09) and residual lymph node metastases (kappa = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.28-0.62; p = .45). Reintervention achieved complete tumour clearance in 16/21 (76%) patients, among whom 5/16 (31%) developed liver metastases during follow-up. Median DFS was 70.6 months (IQR 39.7-not reached). Reintervention post-ISOR can obtain tumour clearance and prolonged remission. It should be systematically discussed after suspected ISOR, even when postoperative imaging does not find any residual tumour. To maximize detection of potentially resectable residual disease, imaging modalities after "curative" surgery should be redefined.
