Pancreatectomy

08/01/2015 - "Among the 70 BRPC patients with IVVI, 28 patients (40%) belonged to Group 1, 30 patients (42.9%) belonged to Group 2, and 12 patients (17.1%) belonged to Group 3. Pathological tumor size (P < 0.001), pT stage (P = 0.001), pTNM stage (P=0.002), combined vascular resection (P = 0.003), completeness of adjuvant therapy (P = 0.004) were found to be statistically significantly different between Groups 1 and 2. In addition, disease-free survival (P = 0.055) and disease-specific survival (DSS) (P=0.006) were improved in Group 2. Interestingly, when comparing DSS, there was no statistically significant difference between Groups 1 and 3 (P = 0.991).The clinical practice of pancreatectomy following Neo-CRT in BRPC with IVVI provided favorable oncologic outcomes.

01/01/2002 - "Proximal pancreatectomy (including the pancreatoduodenectomy and the newer duodenum-preserving and common bile duct-preserving Beger and Frey procedures) achieved good results concerning pain relief (>80%) and quality of life in selected patients with head-dominant CP. "

11/01/2005 - "Extensive distal pancreatectomy is effective in relieving pain, but should be limited to patients with small duct disease, in whom more conservative methods have failed, because of severe metabolic consequences. "
02/01/1979 - "Eighty to ninety-five per cent pancreatectomy was more effective in relieving pain in the 9 patients subjected to this type of resection than was the 50--80% pancreatic resection used in 16 patients. "

11/01/1984 - "Whereas accessory papilla sphincteroplasty appears to be effective for recurrent pancreatitis associated with true pancreas divisum, false pancreas divisum requires distal pancreatectomy or pancreaticojejunostomy to overcome the irreversible obstruction of the main pancreatic duct."

02/01/2009 - "This study was undertaken to correlate serum CA 19-9 levels and CA 19-9 velocity with disease-free and overall survival after pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma. "
12/01/2014 - "This approach may be more effective for predicting the survival of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma after pancreatectomy."
03/01/2005 - "Although in centers where pancreatectomy is performed frequently, associated morbidity and mortality rates have improved, long-term outcomes in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients remain poor when surgery is the sole therapeutic modality. "
07/01/2010 - "With increasing laparoscopic experience, laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with or without splenectomy is being regarded as a safe and effective treatment for benign and borderline malignant lesions of the pancreas; however, its application for left-sided pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is still debatable.
