Core Tip
Core tip: This study elucidated an innovative technique for local pancreatic head resection and Roux-en-Y pancreatic jejunostomy in four patients with benign tumors of the pancreatic head and showed that local resection of the pancreatic head in combination with Roux-en-Y pancreatic jejunostomy not only completely resected the pancreatic tumor but also retained optimal pancreatic function and reduced the incidence of pancreatic leakage.
