Background: Recently, partial pancreatectomy has been performed for treatment of benign pancreatic lesion with special attention to functional preservation of adjacent organs. In contrast to traditional pancreaticoduodenectomy( Whipple’s procedure) and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy(PPPD), the duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection(DPPHR) preserves stomach, duodenum, jejunum, extrahepatic bile duct, and this procedure is reported to preserve function of adjacent organs, to reduce morbidity and mortality rates. The indications of DPPHR are benign lesion of the head of the pancreas as well as complications of chronic pancreatitis, including distal common bile duct obstruction, duodenal obstruction, colonic stenosis, pseudocyst of the head of the pancreas, internal pancreatic fistula, portal or splenic vein stenosis. Also this procedure is indicated for the management of the pancreatic head injury. Reconstructive methods following resection of the pancreatic head are modified variously, this methods are end-to-end anastomosis of the pancreatic duct, Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy, pancreaticogastrostomy, pancreaticoduodenostomy.
Material and Methods: The authors performed DPPHR in 4 patients; pseudocyst of the pancreatic head 1, pancreatic head injury 2, chronic pancreatitis 1. Two patients with pseudocyst of the pancreatic head and pancreatic head injury underwent end-to-end anastomosis of the pancreatic duct after resection of the head of the pancreas. This procedure involved insertion of feeding tube into the pancreatic duct and then end-to-end anastomosis of the pancreatic duct. Other two patients with pancreatic head injury and chronic pancreatitis underwent Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy after resection of the head of the pancreas.
Results: Two patients with end-to-end anastomosis of the pancreatic duct developed leakage of the anastomotic site of the pancreatic duct at 3rd and 8th postoperative days, respectively. So this patients were performed reoperation, Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy. But the peripancreatic abscess developed after reoperation and then performed drainage of the abscess. This patients were improved and discharged. Total hospital stay was 35days and 34days, respectively. Other two patients underwent Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy after resection of the head of the pancreas. This patients were improved without complications and discharged within 1 month.
Conclusions: In our experiences, DPPHR can be appropriated in the treatment of complications of chronic pancreatitis, benign lesion of the head of the pancreas, pancreatic head injury. And we consider that the Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy is more safe reconstructive method, compare with the end-to-end anastomosis of the pancreatic duct.
