Surgery Sep 12, 2019
Scholten L, Latenstein AEJ, van Eijck C, et al. - Researchers sought to report on the data on postoperative outcomes, diabetes management, and long-term quality of life after total pancreatectomy from large nationwide series. In this nationwide, retrospective cohort study, 148 adults who underwent total pancreatectomy in 17 Dutch centers (2006–2016) were included. They identified an increase in the annual nationwide volume of total pancreatectomy from 5 in 2006 to 32 in 2015. The 30-day and 90-day mortality of 5% and 8%, respectively, were evident. Compared to the general population, lower long-term quality of life was reported in the participants, although differences were small. These patients displayed diabetes-related distress and treatment satisfaction similar to those with type 1 diabetes.
