Abstract：The majority of pancreatic head tumor is malignant, which invades often the nearby vascular (PV, SMV, CA, SMA, etc.). The value of mesentericoportal vein resection (VR) associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic-head adenocarcinoma still remains controversial. Affirmatively, venous resection can be safely performed. Pre-and Intraoperative assessment is needed to define the relationship of a pancreatic head neoplasm to adjacent vascular structures. Surgeons who perform PD should have experience of vascular surgery.
