[Rational technique of pancreatoduodenal resection and transplantation technology use as the basis of favourable...

Outcomes of pancreatoduodenectomies performed during the period from 1996 to 2008 in 110 patients with malignant diseases of pancreaticoduodenal zone and complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis with predominant changes of the pancreatic head were presented. Age of patients ranged from 17 to 73 years, on average (52.0 +/- 9.97) years. Primary aspects of pancreatoduodenal complex dissection and technique of reconstructive stage of the procedure are given. Use of transplantational technologies allowed significant decrease in complications total rate from 30.3 to 18.2%, and pancreatic anastomosis insufficiency one--from 24.2 to 5.2%. Total duration of the procedure decreased from (510.7 +/- 66.12) to (352.9 +/- 50.05) min, intraoperative blood loss--from (860.6 +/- 167.59) to (480.4 +/- 163.61) ml and postoperative hospital stay - from (30.12 +/- 24.32) to (18.2 +/- 9.98) days. After the operation all the patients are alive.
