Long-term outcomes of pancreato-duodenectomy for groove pancreatitis: A retrospective experience from a tertiary referral center.

Backgrounds/aims: Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a seldom encountered form of chronic pancreatitis characterized by inflammation of the pancreatoduodenal groove. Our study presents our experience with pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for GP at a tertiary referral center.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent PD for a preoperative diagnosis of GP at a tertiary referral center from 2010 to 2024.

Challenges and outcomes of pancreato-duodenectomy in portal annular pancreas: A single center experience with a systematic review of the literature.
