Pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic head cancer after surgery for esophageal cancer with gastric tube reconstruction in a long-term survivor: A case report

摘要

IntroductionTo maintain the blood circulation of the gastric tube in pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD) for periampullary cancer after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, it is necessary to preserve the gastroduodenal artery and its branch, the right gastroepiploic artery, which are usually resected for more convenient, complete, and effective lymph node dissection. Here we report the case of a patient with a postoperative survival period of more than 5 years.
