    Abstract:
    Ninety patients with pancreatic duct, distal bile duct, and ampullary carcinoma underwent pancreatic resection. Following a standard policy of resection based on surgical findings, all the patients who had resection first underwent subtotal extended pancreatectomy (n = 68) and if they were considered not to fulfill the criteria for this operation, total pancreatectomy (n = 22). Thus, 68 of the 90 patients (72%) were managed with subtotal pancreatic resection irrespective whether they had ampullary, pancreatic duct, or distal common bile duct carcinoma. On the basis of our results, subtotal duodenopancreatectomy is regarded as the method of choice for many patients with pancreatic duct, distal bile duct, or ampullary carcinoma.
