Published: May 1992

The authors retrospectively evaluate their 10-year experience in the surgical management of pancreatic cancer, and analyze their results in terms of morbidity and long-term survival. The comparison between curative and palliative surgery shows, in this series, a better long-term survival and a better performance status for the patients in the curative group, although postoperative morbidity and mortality are higher. The difficulty of an early diagnosis as well as a correct preoperative staging is confirmed. Finally, the authors propose a personal, totally mechanic technique of digestive tract restoration after gastric resection during pancreatic surgery underlining this procedure is easy, safe, fast and functional.
