Total pancreatectomy for primary pancreatic neoplasms: renaissance of an unpopular operation.

Objective: To assess the long-term survival and quality of life in total pancreatectomies and to identify risk factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Methods: A total of 434 consecutive total pancreatectomies for primary pancreatic or periampullary tumors were performed between October 2001 and September 2012 at the authors' institution and were prospectively documented and analyzed.
