[Reconstruction technique after pancreaticoduodenectomy].

The many techniques proposed for the reconstruction of the digestive path after pancreaticoduodenectomy show the continuous research of the most anatomical and safest way to achieve the best results. Most of the technical variations concern the treatment of the pancreatic stump and are directed to prevent the pancreatic fistula that is the most frequent cause of postoperative mortality and morbidity. None of the pancreatico-digestive reconstruction ways is absolutely better than the others and we think neither the total obstruction of the Wirsung duct is the solution of the problem of the pancreatic fistula. The accuracy and technical precision, the availability to modify the technique in relationship to different anatomy and functional conditions of the pancreatic stump are essential to improve the results. To achieve this goal is decisive the experience and patients volume of the surgeon and of the institutional team.

[Technical problems and solutions in pancreatic resection].

There are many factors that make pancreatic surgery complex and troublesome, among them anatomical relations of the pancreas and morphological variations caused by inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Pancreatic resection, specifically of the head, for specific oncological situations arises technical problems due to the frequency of vascular or biliary variants. The vascular invasion by the tumor determines major difficulties; in these cases an en-bloc resection depends upon the biology of the tumor and the grade of infiltration and segment of vascular axis involved. Other technical problems follow lymphadenectomy of retroperitoneal and perivascular tissue in the effort to obtain a curative resection for neoplastic disease. Eventually other solutions are prospected by a conservative surgery in case of benign or borderline malignant tumors in which a "sparing" demolition is adopted regarding the pancreas and the surrounding organs (spleen, stomach and duodenum). It is well known that the results of pancreatic resection depend on the qualification of the surgical team and the high patient volume of the center were it is more safely performed.
