Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following on from the success of our first Special Issue, entitled "New Insights into Pancreatic
Surgery" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/8NP514597B), we are launching a new Special Issue, entitled "New Insights into Pancreatic Surgery: 2nd Edition", which continues to report on clinical research.
The number of pancreatic surgeries is increasing every year. There are several reasons, but the most remarkable are the increase in diagnosed pancreatic cancers and the more frequent diagnosis of other pancreatic diseases for which surgery is now considered as an option due to their potential for malignancy transformation. This has meant that surgical indications have expanded steadily. The main problems facing pancreatic surgery are the high incidence of major postoperative complications and the low but remarkable mortality. Centralization in high-volume centers; technical advances, such as minimally invasive surgery approaches, including robotic surgery; and the standardization of surgical procedures have decreased the complication rates. However, more complex cases (patients with arterial involvement or neoadjuvant chemotherapy) are evaluated daily. Surgeons have also implemented several healthcare tools to measure and improve surgical results (textbook outcomes, failure to rescue, benchmarking, fistula risk scores, etc.). In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers about all surgical topics that allow readers to increase their knowledge about treating patients with pancreatic surgical diseases.
