Objective To investigate the indications and clinical effect of pancreatoduodenectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for pancreatic head carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with pancreatic head carcinoma that performed pancreatoduodenectomy with extended lymphadenectomy between June 2010 to June 2011 in Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology were retrospective analyzed. The 21 patients included 15 men and 6 women with an age range of 36-57 years and an average age of 47.8 years. Results There were 3 cases(14.3%), 9 cases(42.9%), 8 cases(38.1%), and 1 case(4.8%) in stageⅠ, ⅡA, ⅡB, andⅢ, respectively. Eighteen cases had a R0 resection(85.7%) and 3 cases had a R1 resection. The total number of resected lymph nodes were 14-43 with an average of 27.4. Lymph node invasion occurred in 10 cases(47.6%). The average operative time was 6.8 h(5-8.5 h) and the average amount of blood transfusion was 5.6 U(3-8 U). There was no death in this group and 5 cases(23.8%) had postoperative complications. Tree cases(14.3%) developed pancreatic fistula, 1 case(4.8%) developed bile leakage, 1 case(4.8%) developed abdominal hemorrhage, 1 case(4.8%) developed gastrointestinal bleeding, and 2 cases(9.5%) developed intractable diarrhea. Postoperative pathological results in high, medium, and low differentiated adenocarcinoma was 6 cases(28.6%), 10 cases(47.6%), and 5 cases(23.8%), respec-tively. Twenty one cases were followed-up, the follow-up time ranged from 5 to 40 months with a median time of 19 months. 1-, 2-, and 3-year cumulative survival rates was 66.7%, 38.1%, and 19%, respectively. Conclusion Selective application of pancreatoduodenectomy with extended lymphadenectomy in resectable pancreatic head carcinoma is conducive to increase the proportion of the radical resection and improve the prognosis, but the postoperative complications is higher.
