Material and Method: The records of 11 patients who underwent PD with venous resection between May 2016 and May 2021 in the Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine Department of General Surgery were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Eleven patients (five women and six men) were included. The patients’ mean age was 64.09±9.27 years (range 47-78). Four (36.36%) patients underwent type 1 reconstruction, one (9.09%) type 2 reconstruction, five (45.45%) type 3 reconstruction and one (9.09%) type 4 reconstruction. Eight (72.73%) patients experienced venous invasion according to the histopathology reports. Mean time between diagnosis and surgery was 14.91±11.33 days, and the mean follow-up time was 17.64±13.31 months. Grade C pancreatic fistula was observed in one (9.09%) patient, who died on the 17th postoperative day. No patients experienced recurrence or metastasis during surveillance. Conclusion: Pancreaticoduodenectomy with venous resection-reconstruction is safe and the only curative option in patients with pancreatic cancer and venous invasion.}, number={2}, publisher={MediHealth Academy Yayıncılık}, organization={None}
