Postoperative Outcomes of Tangential versus Segmental Resection and End-to-end Reconstruction of the Superior Mesenterico-Portal Vein During Pancreatoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Single-Center Experience
Abstract:Background/Aim: The impact of venous resections and reconstruction techniques on morbidity after surgery for pancreatic cancer (PDAC) remains controversial. Patients and Methods: A total of 143 patients receiving pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for PDAC between 2013 and 2018 were identified from a prospective database. Morbidity and mortality after PD with tangential resection versus endto-end reconstruction were assessed. Results: Fifty-two of 143 (36.4%) patients underwent PD with portal venous resection (PVR), … Show more
