| Abstract: |
| This is a case of a pancreatic tumor with invasion of the celiac stem treated using the modified Appleby
operation. Preoperatively, routine B-ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging
were performed. In the perioperative period, the combined gallbladder was excised; the duration of the
operation was 5 h and volume of blood loss was approximately 500 ml. Postoperatively, the liver function
temporarily returned and after a liver protection treatment, it returned to normal within 2 weeks. The liver
had normal arterial blood supply, and the postoperative course was uneventful. It is safe and feasible to
resect the whole pancreatic body and tail tumor combined with celiac stem resection. It can improve the
resection rate of tumor and relieve pain. |
