Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected healthcare systems worldwide, disrupting elective surgeries including those for cancer treatment. This study examines the effects of the pandemic on outcomes of pancreatic cancer surgeries at a specialized high-volume surgery center.
Materials And Methods: This study compared surgical volume and outcomes of pancreas resections between the pre-pandemic (January 2019 to February 2020), early pandemic (March 2020 to January 2021), and late pandemic (February 2021 to December 2021) periods.

Postoperative pancreatitis is an unusual complication of upper abdominal surgery that can result in severe morbidity and has been associated with postoperative death. It can be caused by trauma to the surface of the gland, injury to pancreatic ducts, vascular compromise, ductal obstruction within the pancreas parenchyma or because of duodenal stagnation. Our database of peritoneal surface malignancy patients was surveyed in a search for patients who manifested signs and symptoms of severe postoperative pancreatitis.
