Pancreaticoduodenectomy in a Government Medical College—Should We Proceed
2010
Overview
The value of standard Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Periampullary carcinomas has long been a matter of debate. Though the mortality has dramatically reduced in high volume centers with dedicated hepatobiliary surgery units, the rate is still high in peripheral institutes. In this study our aim was to access the overall post operative outcome associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy performed in a government medical college. A total of 44 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for operable periampullary cancers were evaluated. The overall morbidity rate was 31.1%. A total of 13 (29.5%) died following the operation and of its complications though the rate has reduced drastically to 14.2% in2008. The average length of hospital stay was 22 days. The mean survival was 15 months. Pancreaticoduodenectomy can safely be performed in government medical colleges with good results. In view of the majority of the patients in rural and suburban communities, not all patients need referral to higher centers.
