title: [Postop complication of pancreatic resection].
abstract: Early complications after partial pancreatic resections and benign pancreatic tumours were analysed. 276 patients with pancreatic tumours were treated in the years 1979-1997. In 77 cases radical operation was performed. 65 patients underwent Whipple and 12--Traverso-Longmire pancreatoduodenectomy. Malignant tumour was found in 55 cases and 22 were benign. In 4 patients tumour's resection along with invaded portal vessels and portal confluence reconstruction was performed. These were the first cases with vessels resection operated in Poland. There were 2 post-operative deaths observed in that group. Complications in our material were as follows: pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis fistulae, haemorrhage from ulcers in gastro-jejunal anastomosis, diffuse peritonitis, haemorrhage from pancreatic stump vessels, ileus, acute renal insufficiency, pneumonia and myocardial infarct. Mortality in whole group was 11%. In the last 5 years due to our growing experience and some technical modifications mortality fell to 4.4%.
