Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (laparoscopic or open) were assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire at baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-discharge. Exclusion criteria included total pancreatectomy, in-hospital mortality and disease recurrence. Data on demographics, comorbidities, tumor staging, complications and survival were analyzed using SPSS 20.0, with paired Wilcoxon tests and regression models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 111 patients (64 males, mean age 57\u2009\u00b1\u200912.2 years), 44 had pancreatic head cancer and 21 had ampullary cancer. Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 66 cases. Postoperative fistulas occurred in 30.6%, with one severe case.
