BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: With development of imaging techniques, @entity788 are being diagnosed more frequently. Applying the standard surgical procedures for @entity788 , such as pancreaticoduodenectomy and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy may seem too extensive for benign or low-grade malignant @entity135 . Duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) has been safely performed in @entity1 with chronic @entity788 . Recently, DPPHR has been used as a limited surgical procedure to remove benign or low-grade malignant @entity660 . This study is aimed to evaluate the results of DPPHR in benign or low-grade @entity5 . METHODS: Between 2004 and 2012, six @entity1 underwent DPPHR due to benign or low-grade malignant @entity5 . We performed this retrospective analysis based on the medical records. RESULTS: Five of six @entity1 were diagnosed as @entity4929 . Remaining one @entity1 was diagnosed as solid @entity5 . The median age of @entity1 was 60.3 (27-75) years, and the median follow-up period was 24 months. The operation time, @entity190 and length of stay were 442.5 minutes, 680 ml and 19.2 days, respectively. There was no mortality. Five @entity1 experienced complications including 1 delayed gastric empting, 2 bile duct strictures, 1 @entity3472 and 1 duodenal stricture. No recurrence or @entity3 was found during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In benign and low-grade malignant lesions of pancreatic head, DPPHR could be alternative to traditional surgery. For applying DPPHR in @entity5 , a thorough preoperative examination and utilization of frozen section for sufficient resection margin are required.
