There are no specific figures for the success rate of surgery for duodenal mesenchymal tumors, but the ease of surgery is related to the size and location of the tumor.
When the size of the tumor is relatively small, there is usually no significant harm. When the tumor is relatively large and undergoes surgical treatment, the surgery is more difficult due to the delicate nature of the duodenal region, which can result in certain risks.
The tumor is located at the biliopancreatic and duodenal junction. There would be no way to perform a localized resection and a larger pancreaticoduodenectomy would be required. Greater trauma and risk can occur.
The tumor is located in the horizontal segment of the duodenum in the upper part of the jejunum. It is usually detected later and the tumor is larger. Surgery is also more difficult.
It is recommended that patients with duodenal mesenchymal tumors go to the hospital in time, with the help of a professional doctor to develop an appropriate surgical plan, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
