Analysis of surgical treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer

Abstract

Surgical treatment of tumors of the head of the pancreas, tail of the pancreas is the only radical treatment option. The main contraindications to surgery are distant metastasis, tumor invasion into large arterial vessels (superior mesenteric artery, common hepatic artery, celiac trunk), tumor invasion into large venous trunks (superior mesenteric vein in the absence of reconstruction prospects), and severe concomitant pathology. To date, the most optimal operations used for tumors of the head of the pancreas are gastropancreatoduodenal resection, and for tumors of the tail - distal subtotal resection of the pancreas, splenectomy. The main access for these operations is median laparotomy. In our article, we will analyze the surgical interventions that have been performed for pancreatic cancer in our center.
