Abstract Pancreatic cancer is one of the most desperate malignances worldwide with approximately 470000 deaths per year, and the 5-year survival rate is only 11% [1]. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment for pancreatic head and periampullary lesions [2]. PD is often either described as “standard PD” or “extended PD” (e.g., “PD with portal vein resection, additional organ resection or arterial resection”) [3].
