The Perioperative Outcomes of the Pancreaticoduodenectomy at Suratthani Hospital
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the perioperative outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy at Suratthani Hospital.
Material and Method: Retrospective study of data from 26 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy
from January 2012 through January 2015, at Suratthani Hospital. The primary endpoints are the morbidity and mortality rate.
Results: Twenty six patients (17 male and 9 female) with mean age 61.1±11.9 years were analyzed. The overall
hospital mortality rate was 11.5% (n=3). The morbidity rate was 61.5% (n=16). Delayed gastric emptying time (42.3%)
and pancreaticojejunal anastomotic leakage (30.8%) were the two most common complications. In this study,
preoperative and operative factors had no significant effect on morbidity rate.
Conclusion: Pancreaticoduodenectomy still has high morbidity and mortality rate. Further improvement of surgical
technique together with the good pre and postoperative care may help to reduce mortality and morbidity rate.
