Pancreaticoduodenectomy still plays the center role in surgical management of pancreatic head cancer, however it remains some controversial in operative methods choice and extended pancreatectomy procedure. Surgeons should take sufficient considerations and make appropriate strategy preoperatively to ensure the safety, resectability and radical resection of surgery treatment.
