چکیده
The first successful pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) was performed and reported by Whipple, Parsons and Mullins in 1935[1]. The authors reported a case series of three patients who underwent a two stage procedure for the treatment of ampullary carcinoma. A one-stage PD was later reported by Trimble in 1941. During the early stages of this procedure, morbidity and mortality were exceedingly high, up to 50% and 30%, respectively [2-4].
