Is there a benefit of pancreaticosplenectomy with gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer?
The spleen should be resected when a patient has clearly positive node metastasis around the splenic hilus and artery, and pancreaticosplenectomy be performed when the cancer lesion invades the pancreas.
It is suggested that arteriosclerotic changes are not involved in the pathogenesis of HFS, and that vascular compression syndromes are attributable to anatomical features of the intracranial arteries and facial nerves formed during the prenatal stage.
