Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pancreatic surgery is still one of the most challenging surgeries, because of the high morbidity and mortality. New technologies like minimal invasive techniques, including robot-assisted procedures, are becoming more frequently used.
Within this Special Issue in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, we want to invite you to describe the latest state-of-the-art for pancreatic surgery in different indications, like pancreas cancer, cystic tumours of the pancreas, and chronic pancreatitis.
We will cover standard procedures like pancreatic head and tail resection, as well as advanced procedures like venous and arterial resection.
Moreover, the latest developments, including translational research in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, are covered.
Prof. Dr. Robert Grützmann
