Partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer: Improving glycemic control and quality of life without compromising oncological outcomes

Figure 1 Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography images of a 65-year-old male patient who underwent partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The pancreatic cancer involved the pancreatic head and proximal body, which led to the dilatation of the distal pancreatic duct. The length of the preserved pancreatic stump was 31 mm, and the patient was still insulin-independent at the last follow-up. A and B: Preoperative; C: Postoperative. PV: Portal vein.
