Overviews and reflections on pancreatic duct(repair)surgery
For benign tumors and borderline tumors of pancreas adjacent to main pancreatic duct,surgeons often opt to expand the resection range and perform digestive tract reconstruction for minimizing the risk of compromising main pancreatic duct during surgical enucleation.This expanded surgical approach causes excessive iatrogenic injuries so as to disrupt normal anatomical structure of pancreas and impairs the continuity of digestive tract.It is not conducive to patient outcomes.There are continuous advancements of mini-invasive surgical concepts and medical technology.Drawing upon extensive experiences of robotic pancreatic surgery,the authors proposed the concept of pancreatic duct (repair) surgery with a core of main pancreatic duct bridging repair. The goal was to achieve minimal trauma and obtain optimal outcomes for benign and borderline pancreatic tumors.
