looking for a replaced right hepatic artery arising from SMA. We continue dissection toward the right wall of the SMA in order to identify the superior and inferior Pancreaticoduodenal Artery. In case of suspicion of SMA involvement a fresh-frozen section exanimation of the arterial sheath could be performed. Conclusion: Our approach has many advantages in order to assess resectability of the tumour as detect peritoneal carcinomatosis, hepatic metastases and perform para-aortic lymph nodes sampling and SMA approach. This avoids unnecessary laparotomy for patients not suitable for surgery and giving a prompt access to chemotherapy to advantages of laparoscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
