Application of sequential superior mesenteric vein and portal vein approach in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy

Objective To explore safe and rapid operative approaches in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD). Methods The operative procedures of 6 cases of LPD were retrospectively reviewed and the application of the sequential superior mesenteric vein and portal vein approach in LPD was analyzed. Results Operation was successfully done in 6 patients, operation time duration was 390~630 min, blood lose was 150~800 mL.Pathology findings after operation: incisal edge negative in all specimens, tumor diameter 1.8~3.0 cm, clearance of lymphonodes 7~30, with an average 16.7. Conclusion Sequential superior mesenteric vein and portal vein approach is a safe and efficient approach in LPD.
