Abstract

Transduodenal ampullectomy is a procedure that can be used to remove either benign or malignant tumors arising from the ampulla of Vater. Specific indications for performing this procedure remain controversial. In this report, we describe the technical details necessary for successfully completing an ampullectomy.
