ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the safety and therapeutic effects of the modified pancreaticogastrostomy based on the concept of " Hong's one-stitch method" in digestive tract reconstruction in pancreatic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 44 patients who underwent modified pancreaticogastresstomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2022 to October 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 23 males and 21 females , with a median age of 54 years old (range 18 to 70 years old). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative condition and complications were analysed.Results:All the 44 patients completed the operation successfully. There were 29 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, 11 patients laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection, 1 patient laparoscopic central pancreatectomy, and 3 patients open pancreaticoduodenectomy. The time required for the pancreaticogastrostomy was (15.4±1.0) min in laparoscopic surgery, and (9.1±0.5) min in open surgery. There were 2 patients who developed grade A pancreatic fistula (4.55%, 2/44) and 7 patients gastric emptying disorder (15.91%, 7/44). There were no grade B or C pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, abdominal infection, postoperative bleeding and perioperative death.Conclusion:The modified pancreaticogastrostomy for digestive tract reconstruction in pancreatic surgery was safe and reliable. It effectively reduced the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula and improved prognosis of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (LRHCCA).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was constructed. The clinicopathological data of 211 patients who under LRHCCA in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2014 to June 2022 were collected. There were 135 males and 76 females, aged (63±8)years. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range).

Objective:To investigate the application value of laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 25 patients undergoing LDPPHR in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from November 2016 to November 2020 were collected. There were 7 males and 18 females, aged from 14 to 66 years, with a median age of 29 years. All the 25 patients underwent LDPPHR. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative histopathological examination; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect the recovery of patients up to March 2021. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range) and count data were descripted as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: all the 25 patients underwent LDPPHR successfully, including 23 cases undergoing total pancreatic head resection and 2 cases undergoing subtotal pancreatic head resection. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 25 patients were 310 minutes (range, 207 to 540 minutes) and 200 mL (range, 50 to 800 mL), respectively. Of the 25 patients, 1 case was infused with 4 U of red blood cells and 400 mL of plasma, 1 case was infused with 500 mL of plasma, 1 case was infused with 600 mL of plasma and the remaining 22 cases were not infused with red blood cells or plasma. Of the 25 patients, 3 cases with pancreatic fistula of class B were discharged after drainage, 4 cases had biliary fistula including 2 cases undergoing symptoms disappeared after implantation of common bile duct stent by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, 1 case recovering well with drainage, 1 case with postoperative perihepatic effusion undergoing symptoms disappeared after the treatment of drainage and common bile duct stent implantation, and the remaining 18 cases had no complications.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the feasibility of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy ( LPD) in the treatment of pancreatic head cancer, and to analyze the short-term postoperative outcomes. Methods The clinical data of 57 patients with pancreatic head cancer who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduode-nectomy from April 2015 to November 2017 in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retro-spectively analyzed. Results Of the 57 patients, conversion to open surgery was required in 2 patients, and major venous resection and reconstruction were performed in 9 patients, including 8 end-to-end anastomosis, and 1 synthetic graft interposition. Total pancreatectomy was carried out in 4 patients. For the remaining 53 patients, pancreaticojejunal mucosal anastomoses were carried out in 50 patients, and sleeve pancreaticojeju-nostomy in 3 patients. The mean operative time and operative blood loss were 497 (240～720) min and 435 (50～3 000 ) ml, respectively. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 17. 7 ( 6. 0 ～59. 0 ) days. Postoperative complications were detected in 26. 3% (15/57) of patients, which included delayed gastric emptying (DGE) in 4 patients, Grade B pancreatic fistula (PF) in 4 patients, biliary fistula ( BF) in 2 patients, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage ( PPH) in 2 patients, intraabdominal infection in 1 patient and pulmonary infection in 2 patients. All the patients with DGE recovered with conservative treatment and they were discharged home. Reoperation was only required in the two patients with PPH. One patient died after the operation. The postoperative pathological results revealed pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma in 53 patients, adenosscale carcinoma in 1 patient and neuroendocrine carcinoma in 3 patients. The maximum and minimum tumor sizes were 7. 0 cm×5. 0 cm×3. 5 cm and 2. 5 cm×1. 5 ×1. 0 cm, respectively. The mean lymph nodes harvest and positive lymph node retrieval were 14(1～60) and 0. 7(0～3), respectively. Negative resection margins were obtained in 84. 2% (48/57) of patients. This study was censored on December 31, 2017. The follow-up for these patients ranged between 1 to 32 months. Mortality occurred in 21 patients, including 1 patient with a ruptured aneurysm 2 months after operation, 2 patients with GI bleeding 2 and 9 months respectively after operation, 1 patient with severe pulmonary infection and 17 patients with cancer recurrence with survival varying from 2 to 21 months. 35 patients were still alive. Conclusion Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is a safe and feasible procedure for pancreatic head cancer.
