Laparoscopic resection of the pancreas has become widely accepted in the treatment of lesions which are benign or of low-grade malignancy. The objective of this study is to analyze the factors that predict postoperative complications and hospital readmission in a series of laparoscopic pancreatectomies.

Data were collected on age, gender, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, type of surgery, histologic type, operative time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, degree of severity and hospital readmission
