Outcomes of Total Pancreatectomy Versus Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Surgical Management of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Key Points

• To compare the surgical outcomes of total pancreatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy in managing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
• Comparative analysis of surgical outcomes for total pancreatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy.
• Assessment of short-term survival rates and overall survival (OS).
• Evaluation based on patient characteristics and comorbidities.
• Total pancreatectomy resulted in minimally worsened short-term survival for stage 2 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
• Oncologic outcomes and overall survival were similar for both surgical approaches.
• The choice of surgical method should consider individual patient conditions.
