Popis: Although randomized studies investigated the benefit of extended lymphadenectomy (ELA) compared to standard lymphadenectomy (SLA) for periampullary adenocarcinoma, these analyses failed to show overall advantage for ELA due to high heterogeneity of lymphadenectomy protocols. Therefore, the present single-center trial was designed using a standardized protocol for SLA with en bloc technique. Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary adenocarcinoma were randomized to either SLA or ELA. Primary study endpoint was recurrence-free survival. Secondary endpoints were overall survival as well as peri- and postoperative morbidity and mortality. Sixty-six out of 103 randomized patients were treated by SLA (n = 34) or ELA (n = 32) and included into final data analysis. ELA compared to SLA resulted in a higher number of removed lymph nodes (25 ± 12 vs. 14 ± 8; p
