Summary

Short description of the protocol intended for the lay public. Include a brief statement of the study hypothesis (Limit : 5000 characters) Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment. Major pancreatectomies lead to high postoperative morbidity rate, up to 30%. For some tumors, limited resection are increasedly performed, but the rate of pancreatic fistula is even higher, up to 40%.

No precise "anatomic" pancreatic segmentation currently exists. If such segmentation is described, pancreatic resections, major of minor, may have better outcomes.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the existence of independent pancreatic segments, following the lymphatic drainage of the gland.

Dye

Cover key details of the intervention. Must be sufficiently detailed to distinguish between arms of a study and/or among similar interventions At the beginning of the surgical procedure, 1 ml of blue patent will be injected in the normal remaining part of the pancreas. The diffusion of the dye among all lymph node areas will be noticed by the surgeon.
