Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of lymph node metastasis and to evaluate the postoperative outcome of pancreaticoduodenectomy with standard lymphadenectomy. Subject and method: The research was conducted retrospectively with convenient sampling, recruited 38 patients who underwent operation at Viet Duc Hospital from April 2014 to December 2018. Result: 71.1% of patients had lymph node metastases (N1). LN 13, 17 had the highest rate of resected LN and the highest positive LN. The average operation time was 317 minutes, approx. 20% of patients had pancreatic fistula, 3 had intraabdominal bleeding and 3 others had complications of delayed gastric emptying and postoperative infection. The average length of hospital stay was 13.9 days. More than 90% of patients was discharged without any complications or with complications but using medication only, the 30-day mortality rate was 0%. Conclusion: Pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with standard lymphadenectomy is a safe, effective procedure and should be widely applied.
