Objective: To compare pylorus resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (PRPD) with classical pancreaticoduodenectomy (classical PD) in terms of short term outcomes.
Background: There is some evidence that Pylorus resecting PD (PRPD) is associated with lesser incidence of DGE when compared to pylorus preserving PD (PPPD). However, no study has previously compared PRPD with classical PD.

Background: The introduction of enhanced recovery programmes (ERP) in pancreatic surgery has significantly improved clinical outcomes by decreasing the length of hospital stay, cost and complications without increasing readmissions and reoperations. To complement evidence on these outcomes, there is a need to explore patients' perspectives of a structured ERP. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients before and after implementing ERP in pancreaticoduodenectomy ad modum Whipple (PD) at a regional surgical centre.
