Popis: A retrospective study compares the success rates of surgical treatment of cancer of the pancreas in large community hospitals. Although none of the surgeons averaged as many as two pancreaticoduodenal resections per year for the period of this study, their results compared well with other published series except for a few centers and surgeons who did a very high volume of such resections. Results of the study indicate that well trained surgeons in well staffed and well equipped community hospitals can provide acceptable results in pancreaticoduodenectomies for cancer of the pancreas.
