Only a small minority of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for suspicion of periampullary cancer do so unnecessarily. Preoperative review of biopsies, better considerations of pancreatitis and careful evaluation of imaging, particularly for cystic masses, will decrease unnecessary pancreaticoduodenectomies.
