Hypothesis: Experience with pancreatic resection for the last 10 years has resulted in new trends in patient characteristics and, for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), a decrease in the length of stay (LOS). This decrease is due ill part to the implementation of case management and clinical pathways.Design: Retrospective case series of patients undergoing pancreatic resection.Setting: A university-affiliated, tertiary care referral center.Patients: The study comprised 733 consecutive patients undergoing, pancreatic resection for benign or malignant disease at the Massachusetts General Hospital ill Boston from April 1990 to March 2000.Interventions: Of the 733 pancreatic resections, 489 were PD; 190, distal pancreatectomy; 40, total pancreatectomy; and 14, middle-segment pancreatectomy.Main Outcome Measures: Length of stay occurrence of delayed gastric emptying, pancreatic fistula, reoperation, readmission, or other complications; mortality and comparison of patients in 3 periods according to the implementation of case management (July 1995) and clinical pathways (September 1998).Results: For PD, patients in group 1 (April 1990 to June 1995) were significantly younger (mean +/- SD, 57 +/- 15 years) than those in group 2 (July 1995 to August 1998; mean +/- SD, 62 +/- 13 years) and group 3 (September 1998 to October 2000; mean +/- SD, 65 +/- 13 years)(P
