Abstract
Total pancreatectomy (TP) after proximal gastrectomy (PG) requires more attention than ordinary TP during surgery in terms of the preservation of blood flow to the remnant stomach that was supplied via only the right gastric and gastroepiploic arteries. The current report presents the details of a case in which the remnant stomach was safely preserved when performing TP. A 74-year-old man who underwent PG for gastric cancer 17 years previously was diagnosed with pancreatic head cancer during follow-up for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreatic body and tail. To preserve digestive function and reduce postoperative complications, TP preserving the right gastroepiploic artery and splenic vessels was performed. The remnant stomach and function were safely preserved without any complications after surgery.
期刊介绍:
This online-only journal publishes original case reports on all types of cancer. In particular, we welcome not only case reports of educational value in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, but also reports on molecularly analyzed cancer cases, including gene mutations, gene fusions, gene expression, and changes in copy number, regardless of their known clinical significance. Assessing the molecular analysis of a tumor usually requires a “cancer conference” in which experts from various fields discuss it. Even if the authors and their respective “cancer conference” were unable to determine the clinical significance of molecular changes at the time of submission and publication, their data may provide evidence that will help the scientific community develop precision medicine solutions in the future. We welcome case reports with reviews of the literature on similar cases, as they are more useful and valuable to readers than are reports of rare cases. International Cancer Conference Journal is the official publication of the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO).
