  Pancreatic Resection --TABLE D        R        A        F        T Click here for instructions on interpreting this table

The pancreas is an organ that lies deep in the abdomen and produces important hormones such as insulin. If cancer develops in the pancreas, removing the organ by surgery may be life saving. This procedure is rarely done, and few hospitals do even one such operation in a year. Caution should be used in comparing hospital performance based on these rates.
