Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Major Surgical Complications at 30 days (Clavien Dindo Grade more than or equal to IIIa)Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed at the time of discharge after Pancreatoduodenectomy and at 90-day follow-up. Additionally, if there are any readmissions within the first 90 days after surgical intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
a. Intraoperative: Operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, need for transfusion, conversion rate to open b. Postoperative: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE), postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), post pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) as per ISGPS criteria (references), bile leak, surgical site infection, length of postoperative hospital stay, 30-day mortality, readmission, & resurgery rates c. Histopathological: Number of lymph nodes harvested, R0 resection rate Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed at the time of discharge after Pancreatoduodenectomy & at 90-day follow-up. Additionally, if there are any readmissions within the first 90 days after surgical intervention.
