Description of the research topic:
The morbidity rate following pancreatic resections is still high, 30-40%, and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer is bad, despite of oncological therapy. These stimulate pancreatic surgeons to work out better methods. In the last decade there were several technical innovations in pancreatic surgery, like anterograde reconstruction during Whipple procedure, rutine portal vein resection in order to achieve R0 resction, retrograde pancreatic head dissection, etc. Moreover several new methods were introduced in the field of pancreatodigestive anastomoses to decrease the rate of the most frequent and important surgical complication, namely pancreatic fistula. The literary background, then the own results of the surgical department should be surveyed and analysed. Further purpose is to investigate their influence for the postoperative results (morbidity, mortality, reoperation, survival, quality of life, etc.).
