Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pancreatectomy, including pancreaticoduodenectomy, as well as central, distal and total/subtotal pancreatectomy, is a major complex and difficult surgical procedure performed for various benign and malignant pancreatic diseases: from chronic pancreatitis, through benign cystic tumors and neuroendocrine neoplasms to malignant adenocarcinoma. Pancreatectomy is associated with a low mortality rate (<5%) but a relatively high morbidity, with postoperative complications over 20% even in high-volume pancreatic surgical centers. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common and important complication following pancreatectomy.
Currently, open, laparoscopic and robotic pancreatic surgery is performed.
This Special Issue on “Pancreatectomy and Pancreatic Surgery” will cover all aspects of pancreatic surgery, with a focus on techniques and results of pancreatectomy.
We invite original research and review papers regarding various techniques as well as short- and long-term results of pancreatic resection, including pancreatectomy combined vascular resection in pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. In addition, papers related to various aspects of pancreatic surgery performed in chronic pancreatitis drainage operations (Puestow, Partington–Rochelle, and Duval procedures), resection operations (partial and subtotal or total pancreatectomies), and resections with extended drainage (Beger and Frey procedures) are invited.
