| pubmed-article:6858528 | pubmed:abstractText | A sub-total pancreatico-duodenectomy can be performed through a retrograde way, leaving a small pancreatic stump at the hilum of the spleen, and avoiding any Wirsung-jejunal anastomosis. This operation offers the possibility of a large excision, with a small incidence of postoperative complications: it has been successfully applied in a series of 20 consecutive patients with cephalo-pancreatic carcinoma. | lld:pubmed |
