Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a important public health problem all over the world. Up to 80% patients with carcinoma of head of the pancreas are unresectable because of local vascular invasion or distant metastasis. Optimal treatment of such patients is surgical bypass. The number of patients with unresectable pancreatic head cancers is increasing and their optimal treatment is a big economic problem for health care. Traditional prophylactic gastroenterostomy has many complications in postoperative period. Because of complications period of stay in hospital extended and generates additional costs. In this article the authors presented a case of a Caucasian woman who was admitted to the hospital because of unresectable pancreatic head cancer. The patient underwent new type of prophylactic gastroenterostomy and in the sixth day after surgery was discharged home. The authors invented this new type of anastomosis and applied it successfully in several patients with unresectable carcinoma of head of the pancreas.
