Operation of Whipple (pancreatoduodenal resection) is one of the most complicated in abdominal surgery; it is accompanied by great number of postoperative complications and lethal outcomes. The authors were the first in Russia to use suturing apparates by the firm USSC in pancreatoduodenal resection. The apparates were used in 8 patients, control group consisted of 10 patients previously operated conventionally with the use of uses UO series instruments. The application of the suturing devices made it possible to cut by half the duration of the operation, to secure painless postoperative course, to unify the operative procedure and makes it available for additional medical institutions.
