Abstract:
Objective To summarize the clinical features of uncinate process carcinoma of the pancreas and improve the resection rate. Methods From Jan. 1990 to Jun.1999, Ten cases of pancreas uncinate process carcinoma received Whipple′s procedure. Portal vein resection and reanastomosis was performed in 5 cases, among them the resected length varied between 20～42 *!cm.Two cases underwent PV lateral wall partial resection. The longest time of PV blood occlusion was 40 *!minutes.Results Among 7 cases undergoing PV resection, 1 died with hepatic failure 3 days post-op. 1 case suffered postoperative chylous ascites.These 6 cases survived 13 to 29 months post-op. Among 3 cases not undergoing PV resection, 2 cases survived 13 months and 14 months, respectively. 1 case is still alive at the follow-up of 115 months post-op. Conclusion Pancreas uncinate process carcinoma has the tendency of invading adjacent PV and SMV, which should not be simply regarded as a contraindication of the radical resection.
