ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure that represents the ideal outcome and has been used to assess the quality of surgical treatment in many digestive tumors.

Research motivation

Lack of an effective measure to evaluate the quality of surgery for ampullary carcinoma (AC).

Research objectives

This study aimed to investigate the impact of TO on survival for AC patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy and the factors associated with achieving TO.

Research methods

We defined the concept of TO in ampullary carcinoma and cox regression analysis was used to identify if TO was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival and recurrence free survival.

Research results

Only approximately a quarter (24.3%) of patients achieved TO and TO was independently related to favorable oncological outcomes in AC.

Research conclusions

TO was a simple and reliable composite measure of ideal outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Research perspectives

Further multicenter research is warranted to better elucidate the impact of TO.
