Introduction: Objective: To evaluate the indications, results and survival of patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy at Hospital Pablo Tobon Uribe of Medellin. Materials and methods: We collected all patients that underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple operation), from April 2004 to April 2011. The information was obtained from a prospective database from the Hepato-Biliary and Pancreatic Unit of Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe. Results: 68 patients were operated in total, with an average age of 59 years (16-82), 50% were men; the main indication for surgery was malignant disease (97%), with the following distribution: 25 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma ( 36.7%), 23 patients with ampullary carcinoma (33.8%), 8 with distal cholangiocarcinoma (11.7%), 4 patients with duodenal cancer (5.8%) and 11.7% with other indications. Average bleeding at surgery was 455 ml (200-2000ml), 5.8% of patients bled 1000 ml or more, 35.2% of cases required transfusion of red blood cells, with a range of 1-8 units, 5.8% of patients required 5 or more units of red cells. The range of ICU stay was 1-20 days, with an average of 2 days, 45.5% of these patients just stayed one day. Complications occurred in 33.8% of patients, the most common was gastric atony, distant infection and postoperative bleeding. Postoperative mortality at 30 days was 14.7% in the whole series, with an analysis of the last group of 25 patients, the number dropped to 8%, with an actuarial survival of the entire series of 54.4%. Conclusions: In our hospital, pancreatoduodenectomy mortality is still high compared to some reference centers in the world, but clearly has improved in recent years, morbidity results are consistent with those reported in centers of excellence around the world.
