    Author: Guo K, Tian Y, Yang M.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1996 Dec; 34(12):762-4. PubMed ID: 9590782.
    Abstract:
    A modified procedure of duodenum-preserving resection of the head of the pancreas was used in treating three patients with benign lesions in the head of the pancreas. Compared with Beger's procedure, the modified procedure was simpler, and pancreaticojejunostomy on duodenal side was not necessary because of less remaining pancreas attached to the conjunction of the pancreatobiliary duct. The patients, recovered and ate food from 4 to 6 days after operation without symptoms of duodenal obstruction. The patient's digestive function was normal, and the pre- and postoperative pancreatic endocrine function was almost identical. This procedure can be used as the first-choice surgical procedure for benign lesions in the head of the pancreas. Problems in how to protect blood supply of the duodenum were also discussed.
