ABSTRACT
ObjectiveIn order to enhance the curative resectability rate of pancreatic carcinoma. MethodsSixteen consecutive patients received an extended resection, which is referred to systemic dissection of regional lymph nodes and combined resection of the diseased PV/SMV based on traditional Whipple operation or the distal pancreatectomy. ResultsMean operation time was 8.5 hours. Mean intraoperative blood infusion was 1250mL. The procedure was considered curative in 11 (68.8 % ) and palliative in the other five. Postoperative complications occurred in 7 (43.8% ). Perioperative death occurred in one patient(6.25% ). Median length of hospital stay was 35 days. In nine patients undergoing curative resection,two cases survived for 1/2~1 year, six patients survived for 1~2 year and another patient has survived for more than 32 months without evidence of recurrence. ConclusionExtended resection for pancreatic cancer is technically feasible and two- third of pancreatic carcinoma invading PV/SMV alone can be expected to obtain curative resecetion.
