Resection is sometimes a part of a treatment plan, [2] but duodenal cancer is difficult to remove surgically because of the area that it resides in—there are many blood vessels supplying the lower body. Chemotherapy is sometimes used to try to shrink the cancerous mass. Other times intestinal bypass surgery is tried to reroute the stomach to ...
He intended to cut across the CBD and implant the severed end into the duodenum; however, this idea was scrapped and he performed lateral anastomosis of the dilated CBD to the duodenum. The patient died due to infected bile leakage into the peritoneal cavity. [22] A German surgeon named Otto Sprengel reported the first recovery following CDD in ...
A bowel resection or enterectomy (enter-+ -ectomy) is a surgical procedure in which a part of an intestine (bowel) is removed, from either the small intestine or large intestine. Often the word enterectomy is reserved for the sense of small bowel resection, in distinction from colectomy , which covers the sense of large bowel resection.
A resection margin or surgical margin is the margin of apparently non-tumorous tissue around a tumor that has been surgically removed, called "resected", in surgical oncology. The resection is an attempt to remove a cancer tumor so that no portion of the malignant growth extends past the edges or margin of the removed tumor and surrounding tissue.
For severe duodenal ulcers, it may be necessary to remove the lower portion of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. If there is a sufficient portion of the upper duodenum remaining, a Billroth I procedure is performed, where the remaining portion of the stomach is reattached to the duodenum before the common bile duct.
The length of the period is dependent upon the self-perception of the patients and their future state of mental and physical ability. For patients to resume their normal activities, a minimum of 3-5 weeks recovery period is required. Doctors should determine the length of the recovery period based on a range of body mass index.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy has been performed when abdominal trauma has resulted in bleeding around the pancreas and duodenum, damage to the common bile duct, pancreatic leakage, or transection of the duodenum. [15] Due to the rarity of this procedure in the treatment of trauma, there is not robust evidence regarding post-operative outcomes.
Pediatric GISTs are treated differently from adult GISTs. Although the generally accepted definition of pediatric GIST is a tumor that is diagnosed at the age of 18 years or younger, [47] "pediatric-type" GISTs can be seen in adults, which affects risk assessment, the role of lymph node resection, and choice of therapy.
