ABSTRACT
Objective@#To summarize the clinical experience of laparoscopic duodenum-preserving subtotal pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR).@*Methods@#The clinical data of 8 patients with LDPPHR performed at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from November 2016 to February 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.@*Results@#All the eight patients underwent LDPPHR successfully. The operation time was 207.0~540.0 minutes. The estimated blood loss was 50.0~200.0 ml. The postoperative hospital stay was 10.0~27.0 days. One patient developed pancreatic fistula of grade B, and one patient developed biliary fistula. Pathologic results showed pancreatic solid pseudopaillary neoplasm in 3 patients, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms in 1 patient, mucinous cystadenoma in 1 patient, serous cystadenoma in 1 patient, neuroendocrine neoplasm in 1 patient, and pancreatic true cyst in 1 patient.@*Conclusion@#LDPPHR is a safe and effective surgical method for treatment of pancreatic head inflammatory mass, pancreatic head benign or low-grade malignant tumors.
