Evolution of pancreatic surgery over time and effects of centralization-a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Short-term outcomes of pancreatic surgery have improved globally during the last two decades. Long-term survival of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has also shown slight improvement. We describe a cohort of 566 consecutive pancreatectomies performed at a Northern Finnish tertiary center. We analyze the trends in short-term outcomes of all-cause pancreatic surgery and long-term survival of PDAC patients.

Methods

All pancreatic resections performed at the Oulu University Hospital during years 2000-2020 were included. Patient data was analyzed in four time periods (2000-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015 and 2016-2020). Clinicopathological parameters of patients and tumors, complication data and short-term mortality were recorded for all patients and compa
