Abstract

Out of 150 carcinomas of the pancreas operated from 1970 through 1989, 50 pancreatectomies were performed, including 4 cases of segmental resection of portal vein with total pancreatectomy (2 cases) or duodenopancreatectomy (2 cases). The technical procedure is described and discussed. Segmental resection of portal vein is rare in our experience and has been always performed out of necessity because of the over estimation of the resectability. However, mortality and post-operative stay are not increased.
