[Results of surgical treatment of pancreatic carcinoma].
Experiences in pancreatic surgery revealed substantial mortality decrease in pancreatic resections and these procedure became treatment of the first choice for resectable pancreatic tumors in last ten years. Our results support this experience, we performed pancreatic resections in 51% of 155 patients we operated on in last five years, with mortality rate not exceeding 5%. Morbidity of pancreatic resections remains low in comparison with palliative procedures and resections provide better quality of life even in advanced disease. Together with adjuvant chemotherapy there is a possibility to offer an acceptable treatment for pancreatic tumors.
