[Results of repeated operations in cancer of the major duodenal papilla].

15 repeated operations for cancer of the major duodenal papilla were carried out. Gastroduodenal obstruction, recurrent jaundice, external bile fistulas, uneffective first operation served as indications for these interventions. Pathological conditions following a radical operation in cancer of the major duodenal papilla are not always due to the progress of the tumor. Repeated operations for cancer of this localization are by far justified with appropriate indications.
