Abstract :
Ampullary neoplasms are one of the causes of obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is
useful procedure for diagnosing and tissue sampling of ampullary neoplasms. Ampullectomy by resecting entire ampulla provides
whole lesion for pathologic evaluation and also is appropriate for real pathologic staging for further management decision but ampullectomy
considered as a heroic endoscopic procedure. We share our experience in this field and explain our results.
