Background: The significance of positive para-aortic nodes in patients with resectable pancreatic carcinoma is unclear. This study sought to evaluate the accuracy of intraoperative detection and prognostic significance of these lymph nodes in patients with resected adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head.
Methods: From 2000 to 2010, para-aortic node sampling was performed prospectively in all patients before pancreatoduodenectomy.
