Most total pancreatectomies for ductal adenocarcinoma potentially can Be replaced by whipple over the splenic artery: a before and after study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recently, more and more total pancreatectomy (TP) has been performed for central-located pancreatic ductal cell adenocarcinoma (PDCA) which abuts or involves both gastroduodenal and splenic arteries and demands transaction of both of them for a complete resection. Spiked by Warshaw's procedure (spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy with excision of splenic vessels), we developed a new procedure "Whipple over the splenic artery (WOTSA)" to replace TP by leftward extension of pancreatic parenchyma transaction line and preservation of pancreatic tail and spleen after excision of splenic artery. This uncontrolled before and after study assesses the safety and efficacy of a new technique "Whipple over the splenic artery (WOTSA)" as a treatment for PDAC which traditionally
