Specific hypotheses to be tested are * To determine how effective Whipple at the Splenic Artery (WATSA) is at resecting tumors with negative microscopic margins (R0) at the resection line on the pancreas and at the tangential posterior, uncinate, and venous margins. * To determine if WATSA can be performed within the usual range of morbidity and mortality (30 day postoperative mortality) for a standard a Whipple procedure.
