Background: The classical and pylorus-preserving Whipple procedure in patients with pancreatic carcinoma can be performed safely with low morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the indication for surgical intervention should be indicated with less restrictions.
Methods: It has been shown that even a palliative resectional procedure has advantages for the patients. Prerequisite to experienced surgeons should be 10 pancreatic resections per year and a mortality < 10%. In order to reduce postoperative typical complications after pancreatic resections in the perioperative period beside antibiotics Octreotid has to be given to inhibit exocrine pancreatic secretion.
Results: Within 32 months 113 patients with pancreatic cancer were treated at out hospital. Resection rate was 50% (57/113), in the majority of patients a pylorus-preserving whipple procedure was performed (30/57). Postoperative morbidity was 22.3%, no patient died.
Conclusions: The value of extensive and radical pancreatoduodenectomy and the reconstruction according to classical and the pylorus-preserving procedure as well as the role of adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemo- and/or radiotherapy have to be proven in randomized controlled trials. Pancreatic cancer is still a challenging disease for researchers to improve patient’s prognosis.
