Morbidity and mortality after liver resection Running title: Morbidity and mortality after liver resection

[Morbidity and mortality in pancreatic resection].

AIM Assess the postoperative morbidity rates in pancreatic resection. MATERIAL AND METHOD Prospective observational study which includes 117 patients who underwent surgery consecutively due to pancreatic or periampullary tumours. In 61 of the patients, cephalic pancreatectomy was carried out; 15 underwent total pancreatectomy; one underwent enucleation and 40 underwent distal pancreatectomy. ...

[Celiac artery stenosis and cephalic duodenopancreatectomy: an undervalued risk?].

INTRODUCTION Significant celiac trunk or artery stenosis (CAS) is normally asymptomatic. However, when the arteries of the pancreatoduodenal arcade are occluded, it could trigger a visceral ischaemia. The objective of this study is to determine whether preoperative CAS is a risk factor for developing complications in patients subjected to duodenopancreatectomy (DPC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We h...

Morbidity and Mortality of Meningioma Resection Increases in Octogenarians.

BACKGROUND The incidence of meningioma has increased drastically recently, particularly in older adults. Surgical intervention has the potential to reduce neurologic symptoms and achieve favorable, long-term outcomes. There is considerable variability in the literature examining the relationship between age and outcomes after meningioma surgery. The objective of this study was to identify the r...

Morbidity and mortality after bowel resection for acute mesenteric ischemia.

BACKGROUND Patients presenting with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) sufficiently advanced to require bowel resection have a high morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to analyze these patients to determine if certain pre- or intraoperative variables are predictive of death or complications which could then be used to develop a predictive model to aid in surgical decision-maki...
