Résumé
Objective To study the effect of extended Whipple′s resection for carcinoma of head of pancreas.Methods Seventy-five patients who underwent surgery for carcinoma of head of pancreas were divided into control group(traditional Whipple′s operation,n=38) and study group(extended Whipple′s operation,n=37).The survival,complication,mortality and recurrence rates were compared between the 2 groups.Results In control group and study group,the complication rate was 60.53%and 29.73%;the mortality rate was 5.26% and 2.70%;the recurrence rate was 78.95% and 35.14%;and 3-year survival rate was 15.79% and 35.14%,respectively.Conclusions Extended Whipple′s resection for carcinoma of head of pancreas can decrease postoperative recurrence rate and increase 3-year survival rate.
