Intraoperative variables included; liver status, tumor size, pancreatic duct diameter, texture of the pancreas, operative time, blood loss, pancreatic reconstruction method and blood transfusion. Postoperative variables included postoperative complications, drain amylase, liver function, day to resume oral feeding, postoperative stay, re-exploration, hospital mortality, postoperative pathology, and surgical safety margins. Data regarding reoperation included incidence, male to female ratio, hospital stay, interval to reoperation, number of explorations, indication of reoperation and surgical management, and postoperative outcome in terms of morbidity and hospital stay. Follow-up was carried out one week postoperatively, 3 months, 6 months and then after one year. The minimum duration of follow up was 2 years.
