Technical Considerations for Pancreaticoduodenectomy with Preservation of the Right Gastroepiploic Vessels after Proximal Gastrectomy: A Case Report
By Nakashima S, Yamamoto Y, Mouri K and 7 others.
Abstract
Introduction
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with a history of proximal gastrectomy poses a significant challenge because the remnant stomach depends largely on the right gastric artery and right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) for its blood supply. As these vessels are routinely resected during standard PD, their preservation requires alternative surgical strategies and meticulous techniques.
