- Abstract:
The article presents a commentary on the result of the study on the hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) in biliary tract cancer. The study revealed that after HPD, the percentage of probable risk on hepatic failure is 32 percent and pancreatic leak is 18.5 percent. It suggests further improvements in the perioperative care and surgical technique in order to reduce the risk of complications.
