Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue about new insights in pancreatic surgery. Pancreatic surgery is as demanding as the diseases of the pancreas itself. This Special Issue will cover different aspects of managing pancreatic diseases such as acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma. In every aspect, the outcomes of pancreatic surgery have improved over the last decades; however, many challenges still exist and clinical practice has been adapted over the last years based on intensive research in this field.
Hence, we are looking for new aspects and reports about prognostic variables, preoperative assessment, surgical techniques, perioperative strategies or outcomes in the treatment of pancreatic diseases.
We encourage you to submit any article type supported by this journal.
We are looking forward to your submissions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Guido Alsfasser
