Abstract
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the treatment of choice for various benign and malignant tumors of the pancreatic head or the periampullary region. However, because of its retroperitoneal location in an area of complex vascular anatomy and because of the inherent difficulty with anastomosis, technical progress with resective operations on the pancreas has been slowed. However, recent improvements in technique have reduced the mortality rate, making pancreatoduodenectomy the last major abdominal operative procedure to achieve a postoperative mortality rate of 5% or less.
