When minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy becomes risky in elderly patients: BMI and aCCI define the crossover point for surgical safety

Figure 5. Results of the supplementary imaging analysis. (A) Comparison of CT images of a narrow pancreatic neck and a thick pancreatic neck; (B) Comparison of CT images between thin subcutaneous fat and thick subcutaneous fat; (C) Comparison of differences in PNT between OPD and MIPD; (D) Comparison of differences in subcutaneous fat thickness between OPD and MIPD; (E) Comparison of incidence rate of complications between subgroups based on PNT; (F) Comparison of incidence rate of complications between subgroups based on subcutaneous fat thickness. Chi-square tests were applied; “ns” indicates P > 0.05, with no statistically significant difference; “*” indicates P < 0.05, with statistically significant difference. CT: Computed tomography; PNT: pancreatic neck thickness; OPD: open pancreatoduodenectomy; MIPD: minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy; SAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness.
