Introduction
The feasibility and safety of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with long segmental mesentericoportal vein (MPV; >5 cm) resection and end-to-end anastomosis without graft has rarely been demonstrated.
Materials and methods
Eight patients with pancreatic head adenocarcinoma underwent PD combined with long MPV resection between August 2006 and May 2008 in Peking University School of Oncology.
Results
By liver mobilization and Cattell–Braasch maneuver, direct and tension-free end-to-end anastomosis was easily performed even when the resected segment of the MPV was longer than 5 cm. All the eight patients experienced uneventful recovery without severe complications.
Conclusions
PD with long MPV resection and direct end-to-end anastomoses is safe and effective.
