## Abstract Resection was performed in 85 patients with ampullary and in 150 with ductal pancreatic head carcinoma. Curative resection was achieved in 98 and 87 per cent respectively. Patient survival at 5 years after exclusion of hospital deaths was 38 versus 16 per cent respectively. The patients
