“…Issues favouring preservation of the pylorus are improved postoperative weight gain and avoidance of postgastrectomy syndromes10, 11, 13, 15, 25. The results in terms of nutritional status and quality of life are, however, inconsistent; some authors have observed improved weight gain and quality of life after pylorus‐preserving resection31, 32, but others have not33, 34. These divergent views are, however, based on retrospective or non‐randomized prospective studies.…”

“…During the last years morbidi ty and mortality have decreased significantly. The mortal ity rate for major pancreatic resections is now under 10% and should not exceed the 5% rate [7,16,[20][21][22], At the University of Bern we achieved a zero mortality rate in 133 major pancreatic surgeries performed within a 14-month period, 78 of them being resections of the head of the pancreas. However morbidity after duodenopancreatectomy is still substantial, even in experienced hands.…”

“…(2) By preserving the pylorus and the stomach, the function of these organs is not altered and the well-known postgastrectomy 'dumping' and 'af ferent loop' syndromes are avoided [19]. (3) This im proved gastrointestinal function goes parallel with an improved postoperative gain of weight compared to the standard Whipple procedure, as shown in patients who postoperatively gained more than a 100% of their pre disease weight and an excellent quality of life [20][21][22]. (4) The occurrence of postoperative gastric ulcerations has been claimed to be a typical problem of pylorus-pre serving duodenopancreatectomy in earlier studies.…”
