Abstract
Pyloric and gastric-preserving pancreatic resection was performed in 35 patients with no mortality. Twenty-seven patients were followed for at least 8 months postoperatively and are reported herein in detail. This variation in the Whipple procedure is associated with a satisfactory weight gain after operation for benign disease, does not produce the usual postgastrectomy digestive symptoms, and so far jejunal or anastomotic ulceration has not been a problem. We believe this variation of the Whipple procedure is the operation of choice for benign disease and for certain types of periampullary malignant growth.
