title: [The role of vascular reconstructions in the surgery of tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone].
abstract: An analysis of results of 83 operations performed for tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone included the period of 2006-2007. In 39 resections of the pancreas there were 16 (41.0%) cases when the operation was supplemented with a reconstruction of the major vessels. From 44 resections of the liver 10 (22.7%) interventions were made with resection of the major veins. No specific complications were noted associated with vascular reconstructions in the zones in question. Postoperative lethality after operations for malignant tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone was 2.4%, after operations in the same zone supplemented with vascular reconstructions was 3.8%. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was practically the same of that of the patients operated for malignant tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone without vascular reconstructions. One year survival of the patients operated for malignant tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone without and with vascular reconstructions was commensurable. Reconstruction of the major vessels in operations for locally extensive tumors of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone allows more often using radical surgical interventions. Complete restoration of the patency of the major vessels in the zone of operations for tumor processes in the liver and pancreas alleviates the postoperative period, is not followed by more number of postoperative complications and lethality.
