Pancreaticoduodenectomy with right gastric vessels preservation: impact on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes

Background Sympathetic denervation of the antropyloric area combined with relative devascularization from division of the right gastric vessels (RGV) during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) could predispose to delayed gastric emptying (DGE). Therefore, some authors advocated for RGV preservation (RGVP), where feasibility and utility for the prevention of post‐operative DGE have never been investigated. Methods From 2011 to 2014, patients who...
