Introduction: Of the possible complications after a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (CPD), the clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (PPF) is the most important, especially in patients with pancreas of a soft consistency. The main objective of this work is to analyze the different postsurgical complications, with special emphasis on the rate of PPF on soft pancreas with a risk of moderate/high PPF, and its incidence between the two different types of sutures used by our group (classic vs reinforced duct-mucosa anastomosis [REDMA]).
Methods: Retrospective observational study, between January 2017 and March 2020, of patients undergoing CPD in our unit after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Methods: Retrospective observational study, between January 2017 and March 2020, of patients undergoing CPD in our unit after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Objectives: To quantify readmission rates due to both major and minor complications per year of study in an ambulatory surgery program and to assess the effect of including patients with greater severity on the results.
Patients And Method: We performed a retrospective study of patients undergoing surgery in an ambulatory surgery program in our health center between 1998 and 2003. During the study period, 25,553 patients met the selection criteria for elective ambulatory surgery.
