Application status and progress of pancreaticoduodenectomy / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

As the most complicated and challenging operation in general surgery, pancreaticoduodenectomy is also a classic operation for the treatment of pancreatic head and periampullary tumors. With the continuous improvement of medical technology and medical instruments, minimally invasive technology is increasingly widely used in pancreaticoduodenectomy, but there are many controversies. In this paper, the clinical application and research progress of open, laparoscopic and robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy were reviewed based on the experience of author′s team and domestic and foreign literatures, so as to provide reference for grasping surgical indications and formulating individualized treatment strategies.
