We propose that local excision of carcinomas of the ampulla of Vater is justifiable under the following conditions: when the tumour is limited to the ampulla of Vater as diagnosed by pre-operative endoluminal sonography (uT1) and UICC-staging (pT1); and when it is graded G1 or G2 and there is no lymphatic infiltration and the tumour is completely resected (R0). Under these conditions peri-operative morbidity and mortality were significantly reduced compared with more extensive surgery. There was no local recurrence of tumour in our study and long-term survival rates were comparable with Whipple's procedure. This implies that lymphatic spread is limited in localized disease and the feasibility of the proposed procedure may therefore be analogous to localized resections in other malignant tumours, e.g. carcinoma of the rectum.
