About this study

Official title: Clinical Impact of Altitude Level on Surgical Outcomes of Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Periampullary Tumour (Multicenter Study)

Very few papers examine the effect of living at high altitudes on surgical results of major operations. This research is designed to determine the surgical outcomes of PD for periampullary tumour in high altitudes and normal altitudes.
