title: Pancreatectomy and metabolic alterations.
abstract: The authors describe problems about anaesthesia management in peri- and post-operative periods in seven patients undergoing total pancreatectomy. They underline that metabolic alterations in these cases show, until now, some unsolved problems. Sometimes artificial pancreas is very useful in post-operative management of these patients.
