Modified Appleby procedure for locally advanced pancreatic cancer - 25/04/18
Abstract |
Locally advanced pancreas cancer (LAPC) involving the celiac axis is typically considered unresectable and carries a poor prognosis. We present a case of a patient with LAPC who underwent a modified Appleby procedure for tumor clearance following neoadjuvant therapy. Technical aspects include diagnostic laparoscopy to exclude occult metastatic disease followed by complete mobilization of the pancreas and spleen, preservation of the left gastric artery, and resection and reconstruction of the common hepatic artery. With proper patient selection and preparation, LAPC with celiac axis involvement can be safely resected with favorable outcomes.
