摘要

Ampullary cancer is a rare neoplasm of pancreaticobiliary tract.  The most ampullary neoplasms require surgical resection. Cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy has been performed laparoscopically in a high volume institutions around the world. In this paper, we present a patient aged 63 years, in which the detailed diagnostic evaluation of painless jaundice, including biopsy of change on the papilla of Vater by proximal endoscopy with histology findings, the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the papilla of Vater was made. Laparoscopic surgery of cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy with appropriate lymphadenectomy was successfully carred out in the treatment of ampullary cancinoma in this case. To our knowledge, this complicated and technically challenging surgical procedure is the first operation of this kind in our country and the region.
