Objective To summarize of clinical application and progress of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR).Method The relevant literatures published recently at domestic and abroad about the clinical application and progress of DPPHR were collected and reviewed.Results For the benign lesions, low-grade malignancies and borderline tumors of the head of pancreas, the DPPHR could achieve the same expected therapeutic effect as the classical pancreatoduodenectomy. The DPPHR could reserve the continuity of stomach and duodenum while resecting lesions and improve the symptoms of patients, reduce the reconstruction of digestive tract and the resection of pancreas and surrounding tissues as much as possible, and retain the pancreas-intestinal axis, which was more in line with the physiology of human beings.Conclusions At present, DPPHR is worthy of further development and promotion in department of pancreas surgery, but current studies only focus on occurrence of short-term complications after operation. Because patients with benign diseases of pancreatic head have better prognosis and longer survival time after operation, we should pay attention to the long-term complications such as diarrhea, anemia and reflux cholangitis. More clinical studies need in future to be demonstrated superiority of DPPHR in clinical efficacy and to evaluate occurrence of long-term complications and their impact on quality of life of patients with DPPHR by comprehensive analysis of multiple evaluation indicators.
