ObjectivesPatients with minimal‐change chronic pancreatitis (MCCP) are traditionally managed medically with poor results. This study was conducted to review outcomes following total pancreatectomy with islet cell autotransplantation (TP/IAT) as the initial surgical procedure in the treatment of MCCP.
MethodsAll patients submitted to TP/IAT for MCCP were identified for inclusion in a single‐centre...
BackgroundThe cost implication of variability in pancreatic surgery is not well described. It was hypothesized that for a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), lower volume centres demonstrate worse peri‐operative outcomes at higher costs.
MethodsFrom 2009–2011, 9883 patients undergoing a PD were identified from the University HealthSystems Consortium (UHC) database and stratified into quintiles by annual...
Background: The effect of diabetes on survival after resection pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) is unclear. The present study was undertaken to determine whether pre‐operative diabetes has any predictive value for survival.
Methods: A retrospective review from seven centres was performed. Metabolic factors, tumour characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing resection for PDAC were collected...
Objectives: Factors related to readmission after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) may include postoperative morbidity and the functional status of the patient. This study aimed to retrospectively review our institution's experience of readmission of patients who had undergone Whipple procedure PD.
Methods: Recidivism was defined as readmission to the primary or a secondary hospital within, respectively,...
