Background: The purpose of this study is to review our results for pancreatic resection in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) with and without associated carcinoma.
Methods: A total of 54 patients undergoing pancreatic resection for IPMN in a single university surgical center (Medical University of Graz) were reviewed retrospectively. Their survival rates were compared to those of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Introduction: Portal vein resection represents a viable add-on option in standard pancreaticoduodenectomy for locally advanced ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but is often underused as it may set patients at additional risk for perioperative and postoperative morbidity and mortality. We aimed to review our long-term experience to determine the additive value of this intervention for locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Patients And Methods: Single, university surgical center audit over a 13-year period; cohort comprised 221 consecutive patients undergoing pancreatic resection; in 47 (21 %) including portal vein resection.
Background/aim: In this study we aimed to determine if advanced age represents a risk factor for negative perioperative and long-term outcome in patients undergoing curative surgery ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma surgery.
Patients And Methods: Two-hundred-twenty-one consecutive patients, twelve (6%) patients ≥80 years were included in the study. We assessed perioperative and long-term outcome and independent predictors for in-hospital mortality with Cox regression analysis.
