Complications after pancreatic resection for XXXX .

@entity1 @entity8 @entity295 @entity656 @entity39 @entity260 @entity733 @entity86 @entity4099
The risks of pancreatic resection for @entity656 were evaluated in 37 @entity1 , all with greater than or equal to 3 positive Ranson signs, most with extensive @entity4099 and almost half with extensive @entity39 . The mortality (43%), though comparable with most other reports, was higher than in the authors' earlier experience. The reason was not clear. @entity86 from the surgical field was the most common problem, being responsible for half of the deaths. @entity295 due to @entity733 or fistulation occurred in eight @entity1 and was fatal in five. @entity8 were common, but caused only three deaths. Time from onset of symptoms to operation did not influence complications or age-matched mortality. With increasing extent of resection, lung complications diminished, but not other complications or mortality. All @entity1 older than 60 died. Resection thus should be avoided for the elderly, and its role in younger cases remains far from clear. The @entity260 and insignificantly lower death rate than after other treatments have diminished the former enthusiasm for resection in @entity656 .
