title: [Carcinoma of the major duodenal papilla].
abstract: An experience with treatment of 62 patients with carcinoma of the major duodenal papilla during the period of 1989-1999 is generalized. Mean age of the patients was 62.4. Most of the patients admitted (85%) had jaundice. The most informative method of examination was FGDS, its sensitivity was 84%. All the patients were operated on. Transduodenal papillectomies (TDPE) were performed in 10 patients, pancreatoduodenal resection (PDR) in different modifications--in 42 patients, in 2 of them for recurrent carcinoma after TDPE, biliodigestive anastomoses--in 13 patients. Resectability was 80%, postoperative lethality--0%. Postoperative complications after PDR developed in 21% of the patients. Recurrent tumors after TDPE appeared in half of the patients. The actuarial five year survival after PDR was 50.6%. PDR is considered to be the operation of choice for cancer of the major duodenal papilla.
