[Personal trends concerning pancreatic head or periampullary neoplasms]

Abstract

On the basis of his recent experience with twelve consecutive cases of periampullary or pancreatic head carcinoma, the Author reports on some technical aspects of reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Preference is expressed for the end-to-end jejunopancreatic anastomosis of the residual stump as this act never caused significant complications.
