Abstract:
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the procedure for treating adenocarcinoma in periampullary region.This involves resection of multiple organs and complex reconstructions.The modern surgery has witnessed the dramatic improvement in outcomes after PD.Mortality has dropped to less than 4％,however,the complication rate remains high,making this procedure still a big challenge for most surgeons. PD is so complicated that even small mistakes could jeopardize the whole procedure and outcomes.With experiences of over 1000 PDs,we discuss the challenges of this procedure and strategies to deal with them.
