The ‘TRIANGLE Operation’ by Laparoscopy: Radical Pancreaticoduodenectomy with Major Vascular Resection for Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Head Cancer.
Abstract
It has recently been shown that the 'triangle operation'1 may be associated with margin-free resection in selected patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Such a procedure consists of en bloc removal, following the adventitial plane of the whole mesopancreas from the triangular space delimited by the superior mesenteric artery, hepatic artery, and portal vein.2-11 In this video, we show how to safely perform this procedure by laparoscopy.
