  • Description: AbstractAimOpen resection of small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasms (SB‐NEN) is still considered standard‐of‐care, mainly because of frequently encountered multifocality and central mesenteric masses. The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical approach for SB‐NEN at a national level and determine predictors for overall survival.MethodsPatients with SB‐NEN who underwent resection between 2005 and 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.ResultsIn total, 482 patients were included, of whom 342 (71%) underwent open and 140 (29%) laparoscopic resection. The open resection group had significantly more multifocal tumors resected (24% vs. 14%), pN2 lymph nodes (18% vs. 7%) and stage IV disease (36% vs. 22%). Overall survival after open resection was significantly shorter compared to laparoscopic resection (3‐year: 81% vs. 89%, 5‐year: 71% vs. 84%, p = 0.004). In multivariable analysis, age above 60‐years (60–75, HR 3.38 (95% CI 1.84–6.23); > 75 years, HR 7.63 (95% CI 3.86–15.07)), stage IV disease (HR 1.86 (95% CI 1.18–2.94)) and a laparoscopic approach (HR 0.51 (95% CI 0.28–0.94)) were independently associated with overall survival, whereas multifocal primary tumor, grade and resection margin status were not.ConclusionLaparoscopic resection was the approach in 29% of SB‐NEN at a national level with selection of the more favorable patients. Laparoscopic resection remained independently associated with better overall survival besides age and stage, but residual confounding cannot be excluded.
