Abstract
- Resection of the confluence of the superior mesenteric and portal veins has been performed most frequently in the treatment of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, in view of the reported positive results, but it can also be used in cases of benign pancreatic neolpasias when they are strongly adhered to the mesenteric-portal trunk. Nevertheless, there is no study on the best type of venous grafts for reconstruction of the mesenteric-portal trunk when required. The choice of graft depends on the preference of the surgeon or the institution. This technical note critically discusses the use of the splenic vein as an option for mesenteric-portal trunk reconstruction after gastroduodenopancreatectomy.
