Surgery for pancreatic head cancer usually adopts pancreatic head duodenectomy, pancreatic head resection with preserving duodenum, palliative surgery and so on, and it is necessary to choose the suitable surgical method under doctor’s guidance. 1. Radical pancreaticoduodenectomy: the scope of resection includes the head of the pancreas, distal stomach, duodenum, upper jejunum, gallbladder and common bile duct as well as the related lymph nodes, and reconstruction is carried out after the resection; negative margins of the neck of the pancreas, the bile ducts, the duodenum, or the stomach and the superior mesenteric artery are usually required. 2. Preservation of the duodenal pancreatic head resection: it can shorten the operation time and reduce the possibility of intraoperative bleeding, but to some extent, it will increase the incidence of postoperative gastric ulcers and gastric emptying disorders. 3. Palliative surgery: it is suitable for patients with advanced pancreatic head cancer to reduce the cancer load and relieve the uncomfortable symptoms by removing part of the tumor. It is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals for consultation and comprehensive evaluation of their conditions by various means, and then professional doctors will decide the specific surgical methods according to their conditions.
