Abstract

Pancreatic surgery is a frequent therapeutic approach for benign and malignant conditions. CT has become the imaging method of reference to detect early postoperative complications and to detect recurrent disease during long-term follow-up. Knowledge of the normal postoperative anatomy is essential for accurate interpretation of CT scans. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the normal and abnormal CT appearances of common surgical procedures involving the pancreas.
