Changes in Morbidity After Pancreatic Resection

Archives of Surgery · 2003 · Vol. 138(12) · pp. 1310–1310

Abstract

Pancreatic resections can be performed with considerable safety and a low rate of pancreatic complications. More patients die of systemic complications than in the past, which increases the demand for precise preoperative patient selection. Completion pancreatectomy should no longer be considered in patients with a pancreatic fistula.
