Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pancreatic surgery (PS) is one of the most technically challenging kinds of surgery. Several surgical techniques and different anastomosis for the reconstruction of the digestive system have been performed over the years. PS has been adapted to treat different pancreatic diseases (e.g. cancer, acute or chronic pancreatitis, cysts). Various factors influence cancer recurrance, morbidity and mortality after PS, as scientific literature shows. The most common and clinically relevant complications are related to pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. The choice between neoadjuvant therapy and upfront surgery is dibated, in particular in case of vascular reconstruction. Resectability criteria, absolute and relative contraindications to PS are re-evaluated in the light of new scientific evidence. There are still many unanswered questions and further studies are needed to better manage and treat surgical patients with pancreatic disease. The scope of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the global advancement of surgical research and clinical practice in the field of PS. Therefore, researchers in the field of PS are encouraged to share their experiences and discuss surgical approaches, submitting an original article or review to this Special Issue.
