The prophylactic administration of haloperidol at the early stage of delirium significantly reduced the incidence of severe postoperative delirium in elderly patients. Clinical Trial Registration UMIN000007204.
Postoperative mortality was 27% (n = 4/15). Mortality of nonoperative treatment was 13% (n = 2/15).
Conclusion:The risk of mortality is two times higher in case of laparotomy. Distal pancreatectomy is advocated for body and tail injury while conservative treatment is preferred in the cases of pancreatic head injury.
