  • Title: Partial pancreatic head resection for intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma originating in a branch of the duct of santorini.
    Author: Nakagohri T, Konishi M, Inoue K, Izuishi K, Kinoshita T.
    Journal: Eur Surg Res; 2002; 34(6):437-40. PubMed ID: 12403944.
    Abstract:
    We report partial pancreatic head resection of intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma originating in a branch of the duct of Santorini. The tumor was located in the ventral part of pancreatic head at a distance from the Wirsung duct. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography accurately showed the communication between the duct of Santorini and the cystic tumor, and was useful for determining the part of the pancreas to be resected. Both the duct of Wirsung and the duct of Santorini were preserved. Partial pancreatic head resection would play an important role in surgical management of low-grade malignant neoplasm.
