Abstract
Correct and accurate preoperative assessment of CLP remains challenging. Despite the wide range of diagnostic modalities, the definitive preoperative identification of malignant or high-risk CLP is inaccurate.
Because of this, a significant portion of the patients undergo pancreatic resection for benign or inflammatory lesions that are not potentially life-threatening. Possible serious complications after pancreatic surgery are the main reason for precise selection of patients with cystic affections recommended for surgery.
