title: [Changes in Endocrine Function in Patients after Pancreatic Surgery].
abstract: We investigated glucose metabolism in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy(PD), distal pancreatectomy (DP), and partial resection(PR). Fifteen patients(36%)were diabetic(HbA1c≥6.5%)before PD, 16(38%)were diabetic after PD, and 6(60%)were diabetic both before and after DP. The level of HbA1c was not significantly different preoperatively( PD: 7.5±2.7%, DP: 7.5±1.3%)vs postoperatively(PD: 6.7±1.1%, DP: 6.3±0.7%). These results suggest that pancreatic endocrine function was fairly preserved in patients who underwent pancreatic surgery.
