Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Conditions
Keywords
laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatic transection level
Brief summary
The level of pancreatic neck transection during laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is not conclusive. Theoretically, the level of pancreatic transection can significantly affect the occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) by influencing both the blood supply to the anastomosis and the location of the main pancreatic duct in the pancreatic transverse section. The investigators conduct a retropective propensity score-matched comparison to compare the impact of extended pancreatic transection and conventional pancreatic transection on POPF and the performance of the pancreaticojejunostomy during LPD.
Interventions
the pancreatic transection was performed at the pancreatic neck beyond the left side of the mesenterico-portal axis during laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy
