The 26th World Congress of the International Association of Surgeons, Gastroenterologists and Oncologists (IASGO) was held in Seoul, Korea from September 8 to 10, 2016. In this congress, I gave a State-of?the-Art Lecture II entitled “Mesenteric Approach in Pancreatoduodenectomy.” The ideal surgery for pancreatic head cancer is isolated pancreatoduodenectomy, which involves en bloc resection using a non-touch isolation technique. My team has been developing isolated pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer since 1981, when we developed an antithrombogenic bypass catheter for the portal vein. In this operation, the first and most important step is the use of a mesenteric approach instead of Kocher’s maneuver. The mesenteric approach allows dissection from the non?cancer infiltrating side and determination of cancer?free margins and resectability, followed by systematic lymphadenectomy around the superior mesenteric artery. This approach enables early ligation of the inferior pancreatoduodenal artery and total mesopancreas excision. It is the ideal surgery for pancreatic head cancer from both oncological and surgical viewpoints. The precise surgical techniques of the mesenteric approach are herein described.
