ObjectiveTo summarize of clinical application and progress of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR).MethodThe relevant literatures published recently at domestic and abroad about the clinical application and progress of DPPHR were collected and reviewed.ResultsFor the benign lesions, low-grade malignancies and borderline tumors of the head of pancreas, the DPPHR could achieve the same expected therapeutic effect as the classical pancreatoduodenectomy. The DPPHR could reserve the continuity of stomach and duodenum while resecting lesions and improve the symptoms of patients, reduce the reconstruction of digestive tract and the resection of pancreas and surrounding tissues as much as possible, and retain the pancreas-intestinal axis, which was more in line with the physiology of human beings.ConclusionsAt present, DPPHR is worthy of further development and promotion in department of pancreas surgery, but current studies only focus on occurrence of short-term complications after operation. Because patients with benign diseases of pancreatic head have better prognosis and longer survival time after operation, we should pay attention to the long-term complications such as diarrhea, anemia and reflux cholangitis. More clinical studies need in future to be demonstrated superiority of DPPHR in clinical efficacy and to evaluate occurrence of long-term complications and their impact on quality of life of patients with DPPHR by comprehensive analysis of multiple evaluation indicators.
ObjectiveTo summarize and analyze the long-term clinical effect of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) versus pancreaticoduodenectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 102 patients who underwent DPPHR (n=35) or pancreaticoduodenectomy (n=67) from January 2014 to December 2019 in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe operations of patients in the DPPHR group and the PD group were successfully complete, no one died during operation or perioperative period. The weight gain in one year after operation and incidences of exocrine dysfunction in the DPPHR group were all better than those of the PD group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference on the other complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The pain score, diarrhea score, and the overall health status score in one year after operation significantly improved in the DPPHR group than those in the PD group (P<0.05).ConclusionDPPHR is more beneficial to improve the quality of life after operation, and is a better surgical procedure for benign and low-grade malignant diseases of pancreatic head.
ObjectiveTo explore the advantages and disadvantages of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) in the clinical application of pancreatic surgical diseases, and to summarize the progress of minimally invasive application of DPPHR combined with the current application of laparoscopy and robot surgery in pancreatic surgery. MethodThe related research literatures about DPPHR at home and abroad in recent years were searched and reviewed. ResultsThe effect of DPPHR compared with traditional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for treatment of benign pancreatic diseases was still controversial, and the postoperative remission effect, perioperative period, occurrence of long-term complications and improvement of quality of life were not very advantageous compared with PD, and the prognosis of minimally invasive surgery was poor. ConclusionDPPHR remains highly controversial for surgical intervention in benign pancreatic disease and has enormous scope for advances in minimally invasive surgical applications in pancreatic surgery, but more clinical studies are needed to verify its clinical efficacy.
