INTRODUCTION: The most frequent @entity532 following pancreatic resections are @entity3472 and delayed @entity356 . The aim of the authors was to analyse these complications in their own practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Clinical data of 287 @entity1 were reviewed, who were radically operated on for malignant @entity5 during 14 years period. The most common @entity5 was @entity788 , located in the head of the pancreas. Pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy was most frequently performed. In the early period @entity655 were preferred during the reconstruction, as well as retrocolic duodeno-, and gastrojejunostomy, respectively. Later the authors turned to the single-layer implantation pancreatojejunostomy and to the antecolic reconstruction, the latter was completed with Braun @entity254 . RESULTS: In the postoperative course complications occurred in 39%, reoperation was done in 5.6%, and the early mortality rate was 3.8%. The rate of @entity3472 decreased to 5.9% following single-layer pancreatojejunostomy, and the difference was significant compared to the 17.6% rate after pancreatogastrostomy. Due to the antecolic reconstruction the frequency of delayed @entity356 has reduced from 10.2% to 2.1%, which is a statistically significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: As a result of changes in the surgical techniques during the 14 years period, the frequency of @entity3472 and delayed gastic emptying has dramatically decreased, which underlines the need of continuous progress in surgical methods.
