[Technic of papilloduodenectomy].
Local excision of preiampullary tumours first described in 1989 has been relegated in the background after introduction of pancreaticoduodenectomy in 1935. Recent reports suggest that ampullary excision may give good results. In order to define the place of this operation which may be a simple excision of the duodenal mucosa (ampullectomy) or a wide excision of the papilla encompassing the posterior duodenal wall and the distal bile and pancreatic ducts (papilloduodenectomy) it is important to make a clear distinction between these two techniques. We describe the technique of papilloduodenectomy and define the place of this operation, which may be useful in selected cases.
