Total mesopancreas excision for pancreatic head cancer: analysis of 120 cases

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of total mesopancreas excision (TMpE) in the treatment of pancreatic head cancer. METHODS The clinical and pathological data of 120 patients with pancreatic head cancer who had undergone TMpE in our center from May 2010 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The mean operative time was (275.0±50.2) min and the average intra-operative blood loss was (390.0±160.5) mL. Post-operative complications were reported in 45 patients, while no peri-operative death was noted. The specimen margins were measured in three dimensions, and 86 patients (71.6%) achieved R0 resection. CONCLUSIONS TMpE is safe and feasible for pancreatic head cancer and is particularly helpful to increase the R0 resection rate.

متن کاملUpdate in pancreatic cancer surgery - focus on total mesopancreas excision.
P ancreatic cancer is a disease with a dismal prognosis due to the lack of efficient therapeutical approaches. Resection represents the single hope for long-term survival; however, less than 5% of the resected patients are alive at 5 years. Resection status represents one of the most important prognostic factors after curative-intent surgery (i.e., pancreaticoduodenectomy) for pancreatic head c...
