Klin Khir (2009) PMID 20222188

The experience of pancreaticoduodenal resection performance in 110 patients in 1996-2008 yrs was presented. The comparative analysis of the operations results was conducted between 49 patients, in whom standard methods were applied (I group), and 61 patients, who were operated on, using transplantation technologies (II group). Transplantation technologies application have permitted to reduce essentially the postoperative pancreatitis occurrence--from 30.6 to 9.8% and pancreatic fistula formation--from 18.3 to 4.9%. After the operation all the patients are alive.
