What this Trial Is About
Pancreatic diseases often require surgery or invasive procedures to offer a chance for cure, but surgery is complex due to the pancreas's location and functions. This research aims to collect and analyze data from patients who had pancreatic surgery to understand how surgical factors affect the body's hormone and digestive functions, quality of life, and disease outcomes. The goal is to improve treatment recommendations for patients with pancreatic diseases. The study involves reviewing medical records from patients who underwent pancreatectomy, which includes any procedure involving cutting pancreatic tissue. Researchers will gather preoperative and postoperative blood tests, tumor markers, and imaging exams such as CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET scans, and endoscopy. They will compare surgical methods, tumor margin clearance, and remaining pancreatic volume to study their effects on patients' endocrine and exocrine functions and overall prognosis. Participants will have their pancreatic functions assessed at 6 months after surgery along with quality of life and disease progress. Researchers will monitor blood test results and imaging findings to evaluate changes in hormone and digestive activity. The study collects retrospective data to better understand surgery-related factors and outcomes, aiming to support more specific treatment plans. The participation period varies as this is an observational record review study.
