Excerpt

In this issue of Annals of Surgical Oncology, Castleberry et al. publish an important manuscript analyzing the effect of use of vascular resection on perioperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Their study, using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, demonstrates that 30-day outcomes for patients undergoing Whipple for malignant tumor at NSQIP hospitals are worse for patients identified as having Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for direct repair of blood vessel or bypass graft compared with those undergoing Whipple without such codes. This is the first large-scale study to study this important topic. …
