The aim of this article was to investigate and emphasize the clinical benefits of organ-preserving surgeries by comparing the pancreatic head resection with segmental duodenectomy (PHRSD), pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD), and classic pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).  A retrospective analysis of PHRSD (20 patients), PPPD (42 patients), and PD (92 patients) with benign lesions, low-grade malignancies, or early-stage carcinomas at the pancreatic head was performed since 2008. The intraoperative and postoperative courses and a long-term statuses were compared.  The overall average age of the patients in 3 groups was 48.82 years old (range 12–76). The mean operative time and the blood loss were significantly less in the PHRSD and PPPD groups than that in the PD group ( P  < .05), but there were no differences between the PHRSD and PPPD groups. The possibilities of postoperative complications were equivalent in all 3 groups. During an average follow-up time of 61.1 months, there were no recurrence or distant metastasis happened. Patients in the PHRSD and PPPD groups had a better long-term nutritional status because they had less body weight loss ( P  < .01), and suffered less from long-term diarrhea ( P  < .001) than that in the PD group. However, the results in the PPPD group seemed to be better than that in the PHRSD group.  PHRSD and PPPD are ideal procedures of organ-preserving pancreatectomy to fulfill the curative goals of benign lesions, low-grade malignancies, or early-stage carcinomas at the pancreatic head. It was proved to be operative safe and could bring patients with a better nutritional status and quality of life after surgery. However, PHRSD was more difficult with no better long-term benefits than PPPD, which asked a comprehensive consideration when made the surgical choice.
