Abstract

There were 68 male and 47 female patients. The median age was 58 years (range 41-76 years). Operative time (306 versus 265 min for coPD group versus RAMPD group; P = 0.003), intraoperative blood loss (700 versus 400 ml. P = 0.002), postoperative haemorrhage (11 versus 3 per cent; P = 0.040), surgical complications (31 versus 15 per cent; P = 0.011) and R1 resection margin (11 versus 3 per cent; P = 0.040) were significantly reduced after RAMPD. Conclusion: RAMPD with a C-from resection, using a multiple artery-first approach is a safe and feasible technique, and we advocate this procedure as a promising option for PD.
