Abstract
R0 resection for pancreatic head cancer without exposing the tumor demands complete resection of “mesopancreas”. In other words, dividing the proximal jejunal artery and vein at their roots of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) respectively during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is absolutely essential. We present here our standardized dissection procedures around the SMA during the left posterior approach for PD. This procedure is safe and reproducible owing to the secure sealing performance of LigaSureTM Maryland.
