Since 1993 during pancreatic resection routine intraoperative portography has been employed. Thus we are able to establish infiltration engaging portal vein and its branches. Facilitating decision making about resectability of the tumor. 29 portographies were performed. In eight cases malignant infiltration on portal vein was established. Because of that in seven cases no radical resection was undertaken.
