Abstract
Arterial and venous resection during pancreatectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is still debated. In the early 1970s, Fortner1 introduced the concept of regional pancreatectomy with partial vascular resection, including type 1 (venous resection) and type 2 (arterial resection). Even with this extensive report, significant morbidity and mortality occurred, and the author questioned its true use because of the lack of control of the soon-to-be-recurrent systemic disease.Keywords
