Accuracy comparative analysis between two scores for predicting postoperative complications in pancreatic surgery

Abstract

choledocholithiasis. To clarify this lesion an echoendoscopy with puncture was performed e non-filing liquid; negative cytology for neoplastic cells and CEA of 8584 ng/ mL. The case was discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting and decided with surgery e performed a distal splenopancreatectomy, cholecystectomy, intraoperative cholangiography and transcystic exploration of the biliary tract without incidents. Histological examination showed a mucinous cystic neoplasm with low and intermediate grade degree dysplasia (without invasive carcinoma). Conclusion: Because at present we are unable to identify the benign mucinous cystic neoplasms that will progress into invasive carcinoma, all should be resected, regardless of size, in patients who are fit for surgery, because surgery is routinely curative in cases of non-invasive tumor.
