[Clinical features and surgical treatment of carcinoma of the pancreas (author's transl)].

From 1964 to 1975 a total of 338 patients were operated on for pancreatic cancer. Duodenopancreatectomy was performed in 69 (20%), at a postoperative death rate of 16%. Second look operations proved to be worthwhile. Thus the resection rate after first operations elsewhere was 27%. Five patients lived for more than five and 19 for more than two years after operation. Since 1971 30 patients have survived so far after radiacal operation.
