Abstract
The Whipple procedure has been improved by preservation of a functioning pylorus. A functioning pylorus is important because marginal ulceration is avoided and, compared to the standard Whipple procedure with gastric resection, more patients can gain weight postoperatively. The most common indications are carcinomas of ampulla of Vater and periampullary tumors. In patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma the pylorus-preserving variety results in equal or better survival rates. In 56 patients with pylorus preservation, 32 with ductal carcinoma, and 28 with Kausch-Whipple between 1985 and 1993, our results showed slightly better survival rates and better post-operative nutrition. The weakest aspect of the radical resection addresses the retroperitoneal margin of the pancreas head and not the gastric resection.
Zusammenfassung
Die Pankreaskopfresektion in der Modifikation nach Traverso-Longmire, mit Erhaltung eines funktionierenden Pylorus, hat gegenüber der Kausch-Whipple-Operation die Vorteile, daß Anastomosenulzera vermieden werden und daß die Patienten postoperativ eine bessere und schnellere Gewichtszunahme haben. Indikationen waren bisher die Papillenkarzinome und periampulare Tumoren. Bei den Adenokarzinomen lassen sich mit der Pyloruserhaltung gleich gute Überlebensraten erzielen. Unsere Ergebnisse von 56 Pyloruserhaltungen, davon 32 beim duktalen Karzinom und 28 Kausch-Whipple-Operationen in den Jahren von 1985–1993, belegen gleiche Überlebensraten, wie dies bereits für das Papillenkarzinom gezeigt werden konnte. Die Überlebenskurven zeigen, daß die Radikalität nicht von der Magenteilentfernung, sondern von der Resektion an den posterioren und retroperitonealen Resektionsrändern abhängt.
