Of the 139 patients who underwent excision for invasive cancer in the pancreatic duct at Kurume University Hospital between January 1965 and December 1998, the subjects were 38 patients in whom blood vessels around the cancer were simultaneously excised. The surgical methods were pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in 31 patients, distal pancreatectomy (DP) in 5, and total pancreatectomy (TP) in 2. The excised blood vessels were the portal vein alone in 32 patients, the artery alone in 1, and both portal vein and artery in 5. Excision of the portal vein was performed by circumcision in 25 patients and by segmentectomy in 12. The range of circumcision was 1.0-7.0 cm (mean, 3.5 +/- 1.4 cm), and the blocking time of the portal vein was 8-36 min (mean, 19.5 +/- 8.8 min). Of the 25 patients who underwent circumcision, reconstruction was performed by end-to-end anastomosis in 23 and by transplantation of the autologous vein between the ends in 2. Of the 12 patients who underwent segmentectomy, direct suture was performed in 10, and transplantation of an autologous vein patch was performed in 2. Postoperative complications occurred in 14 of the 32 patients. In 5 of the 6 patients who underwent excision of the artery, reconstruction was performed by end-to-end anastomosis in 3 and by transplantation of the autologous vein between the ends in 2. Postoperative complications did not occur in the patient who had undergone excision of the artery alone, but 4 of the 5 patients who had undergone simultaneous excision of the portal vein and artery had postoperative complications, of whom 2 died during the period of hospitalization. Three patients with pv0, pv1 or pv2 survived for more than 3 years. Because some of the patients who had undergone excision of the portal vein alone survived for a long time and this method is relatively safe, this surgery can be generally applied, but simultaneous excision of the portal vein and artery should be carefully applied because the incidences of postoperative complications and death during the period of hospitalization are high. With the development of surgical techniques and postoperative control, simultaneous excision of pancreatic cancer and the surrounding blood vessels has become safe, but this method should only be applied to patients who have the potential to recover completely.
