title: [Our experience with pancreatic resection procedures. Retrospective analysis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Pancreatic resections are highly demanding surgical procedures, which require higher specialization of the surgical teams and concentration of the patients into the specialized centers. The aim of our study was to analyze our results of the surgical therapy at a center which performs approximately 15 resections and 20 other procedures on pancreas a year.
  
  
  METHODS
  A group of patients with pancreatic resection operated on at the Department of Surgery, University Hospital in Hradec Králové between 1996 and 2006 was analyzed retrospectively. Postoperative mortality and postoperative complications were recorded. Long-term survival was evaluated only in patients with carcinoma.
  
  
  RESULTS
  158 pancreatic resections were performed in the referred period, 116 partial duodenopancreatectomies, 1 total duodenopancreatectomy and 41 distal resections of pancreas. 30-day postoperative mortality after duodenopancreatectomy was 4.3%. There was no postoperative death after the distal resection. Severe complications were recorded in 22 patients (13.9 %). Median survival of the patients was 11 months. 15 out of 68 patients (22.1%) survived 5 years, 30 out of 89 patients (33.7%) survived 3 years.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results of surgical therapy are comparable with the results of other hospitals with similar frequency of the pancreas resection, regarding postoperative mortality and morbidity, also regarding long-term results.
