Abstract:
Though the mortality of pancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple surgery) is under 4%, the morbidity continues to be high. The interventional radiologist plays an important role in the management of postoperative complications, such as abdominal abscess, bilomas, liver abscess, biliary obstruction, pseudocyst, and hemorrhage. Identification of the normal postoperative anatomy is crucial to correctly interpreting CT scans for short-term complications and long-term tumor recurrence.
