Abstract

The experience with surgical treatment of 866 patients with malignant neoplasms of the pancreato-duodenal zone is analyzed. Radical operations were carried out upon 220 (25.4%) patients, palliative ones-upon 459 (52.8%) and laparotomies-upon 187 (22.7%) patients. The authors draw the conclusion that a one-stage pancreato-duodenal resection is the operation of choice for cancer of the Vater's papilla, distal portion of the common bile duct and of the head of the pancreas. Extended pancreato-duodenal resections with excision of a segment of the portal or the superior mesenteric veins are indicated when adhesion of tumor and the venous wall makes the only contraindication to the radical operation.
