[Cephalic duodenopancreatectomy with pyloric preservation in the treatment of pancreatic cancer].

Unlabelled: Is the application of DPCPP in the treatment of pancreatic neoplasia a good reason? We have analysed 30 patients with cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (DPC) for biliopancreatic neoplasia between 1995-1999 in Ist Surgical Clinic of Iassy (13 with pyloric preservation). The indications were:--cephalic pancreatic neoplasia (adenocarcinoma--4 cases (one with cephalic chronic pancreatitis on the intraoperative microscopical examination);--Vater ampulloma (7 cases);--inferior common biliary duct (CBD 1 case);--duodenal adenocarcinoma (1 case). In the same time was operated 265 biliopancreatic diseases (203 mechanical jaundice with 132 neoplastic jaundice).

Results: --Better early postoperatively status of the patients--DPCPP does not give better prognosis;--there are necessary some technical skills to depase the important phases of DPCPP.
