Summary
Pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD) has been adopted for patients with disease of the periampullary region as an alternative to the standard pancreatoduodenectomy. To qualify the exact effect of PPPD, we evaluated early postoperative condition and nutritional status 12 months after surgery in patients suffering from periampullary disease without pancreatic ductal carcinoma and chronic pancreatitis. Fifteen patients underwent PPPD and 16 patients, PD. The type of resection had no influence on postoperative condition and nutritional status. There was no significant difference in length of hospital stay and in medical expenses. Although it is suggested that PPPD is a useful procedure for patients with pancreatic ductal carcinoma, further studies are required to estimate the advantage of PPPD for pancreatic ductal carcinoma.
