CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PORTAL

Surgical Clearance Protocol

This protocol details the clinical parameters, resection boundaries, and anatomical checkpoints managed during the procedure. The priority is achieving R0 (microscopically negative) margins while preserving surrounding neural and vascular structures.

Procedural Stages

Meticulous retroperitoneal dissection assessing portal vein and SMA infiltration.
Resection of pancreatic head, duodenum, proximal jejunum, and distal stomach.
Pancreaticojejunostomy (duct-to-mucosa) reconstruction.
Hepaticojejunostomy and gastrojejunostomy to restore gastrointestinal continuity.
