Abstract EN
Prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is poor.
Even the small minority that undergoes resection with curative intent has low 5-year survival rates.
This may partly be explained by the high number of irradical resections, which results in local recurrence and impaired overall survival.
Currently, ultrasonography is used during surgery for resectability assessment and frozen-section analysis is used for assessment of resection margins in order to decrease the number of irradical resections.
The introduction of minimal invasive techniques in pancreatic surgery has deprived surgeons from direct tactile information.
To improve intraoperative assessment of pancreatic tumor extension, enhanced or novel intraoperative imaging technologies accurately visualizing and delineating cancer cells are necessary.
Emerging modalities are intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging and freehand nuclear imaging using tumor-specific targeted contrast agents.
In this review, we performed a meta-analysis of the literature on laparoscopic ultrasonography and we summarized and discussed current and future intraoperative imaging modalities and their potential for improved tumor demarcation during pancreatic surgery.
