Whipple described pancreatico-duodenectomy (PD) for periampullary malignancy in 1935. This operation had not been performed in Taiwan until 1961. Thirty-five years have passed since we adopted the PD with mobilization of pancreatic head and duodenum (so called Kocher's maneuver) and meticulous palpation of the ampullar area to differentiate the lesion during operation. During this period, the diagnostic methods, preoperative preparations, and operative technigue have improved gradually, and operative mortality has dropped from about 25% to 5%. The 5-year survival rate has also improved to 50%, except in patients with involvement of the pancreatic head. Pancreatico-duodenectomy is now a relatively safe and common operation. The current goals are to improve the survival rate and to minimize operation such as pylorus-preserving pancreatico-duodenectomy and local papillary resection. The current problem is to detect the lesion in early stage. Which is the shortest way to improve the surgical survival rate of periampullary malignancy For early stage of malignancy and for the cancer of papuilla of Vater, the less invasive surgical procedure such as PpPD or local papillary resection may be accepted as a rational method of treatment in the future. More attention should be paid to patients with abnormal blood chemistry values, such as r-GT, ALK-P, and bilirubin. When performing panendoscopic examination, the scope should always be extended for careful examination of the duodenal papilla. This should also be used for the detection of periampullary malignancy without jaundice. |
