    Abstract:
    It is presented and discussed the experience of pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic head and ampullary tumors. Of 7 cases of pancreatoduodenectomy 3 were performed as classic Whipple procedure and 4 as modified pylorus-preserving variant (PPPD). It was observed 2 cases of mild pancreatic and biliary leak and 1 patient developed abdominal wall dehiscence after the surgical site infection. There was no operative mortality and overall postoperative morbidity rate was 42,8%. It is concluded,that "end-to-end" pancreaticojejunostomy with stent placement and the PPPD variant are the most optimal and preferred operative procedures at pancreatoduodenectomy cases.
