Remark: Since this is a text-to-speech computer voice, it may mispronounce some medical terminology.Mobilize the duodenum as usual from its lateral aspect. This first exposes the inferior vena cava and allows palpation and visual inspection of the inferior aspect of the pancreatic head and the distal retroduodenal portion of the common bile duct. When it is necessary to reach the space posterior to the head of the pancreas, the dissection may be carried beyond the aorta.
Now the duodenum and pancreatic head can be grasped and moved.
