[Carcinoma of the papilla: bypass, Whipple, or papillectomy?].

The records of 41 patients who had carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater in the period 1952-1973, are reviewed. Palliative operations were disappointing in 16 patients since they resulted in an average survival of only a few months. The most impressive results were obtained with the one-stage Whipple procedure and, in selected cases, by simple papillectomy with survival of up to 6 years. However, not every surgeon is able to deal competently with the difficult problems of malignant jaundice. Special technical and tactical skill is a precondition and systematic diagnostic evaluation as well as modern intensive care are necessary for good results. The ampullomas have the best prognosis in the group of peripapillary tumors.

[Complications of surgery in cirrhosis].

Extraabdominal operations are relatively well tolerated by the cirrhotic patient. However abdominal and thoracic surgery are followed by a very high morbidity and a mortality reaching 50% in these patients. Aggravating factors such as a decompensated cirrhosis and an alcoholic or viral hepatitis bear a catastrophic prognosis. The decision to perform surgery should as much as possible imply a knowledge of the histological nature of the cirrhosis and an intensive pre-operative preparation of the patient particularly in the respiratory and cardiac field.
