Meta AnalysisPancreatoduodenectomy with Venous Resection or Palliative Therapy? A Meta-Analysis.
This review evaluated the risks and survival benefits of pancreatoduodenectomy associated with venous resection compared with palliative surgery. A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed. Higher overall survival was observed in the pancreatic resection group (HR = 4.000; 95% CI 2.800 to 5.200). ⋯ Pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular resection may improve survival for periampullary tumours compared with palliation therapy. However, pancreaticoduodenectomy with major venous resection has potentially higher morbidity than palliation therapy. Key Words: Pancreatoduodenectomy, Pancreatic neoplasms, Vascular surgical procedures.
