Introduction:
pancreatic cancer is one that begins in the pancreas, which is a small gland located in the abdomen, behind the stomach. This disease is the most lethal neoplasm that a human being can suffer.

Methods:

Conclusions:
early diagnosis, the best surgical techniques, the availability of intensive care units, when necessary, as well as the application of measures to reduce hospital stay are the main aspects for obtaining better rates of surgical morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent pancreatectomies.
