• Pancreatoduodenectomy with vascular resection is performed in locally advanced periampullary malignancies. In our practice, early oral feeding is initiated in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. This study aims to find the prevalence of early oral feeding with vascular resection among patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among hospital records of 152 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy in the department of surgery of a tertiary care hospital from 2016 to 2020. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 0812202102). Convenience sampling was done. Patients clinical and sociodemographic data were collected and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency, percentage, mean, and median. Among 152 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy, early oral feeding with vascular resection was done in 17 (11.18%) (6.17-16.19 at 95% Confidence Interval). Portal vein and superior mesenteric artery were resected in one (5.88%) and hepatic artery in one (5.88%) patient. Type I, III and IV reconstruction was done in nine (52.9%), five (29.41%) and one (5.88%) respectively. Clinically relevant delayed gastric emptying and postoperative pancreatic fistula were seen in two (11.7%). Complication of Clavien-Dindo Grade III or higher was seen in one (5.88%) patient. One (5.88%) mortality was noted. The prevalence of early oral feeding with vascular resection among patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy was similar to other studies done in similar settings. Early enteral feeding is well tolerated in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy with vascular resection.
