Summary

This study looked back at over 2,400 pancreatic cancer patients who had surgery with vein reconstruction. It compared those who had open surgery to those who had minimally invasive surgery (like laparoscopy or robot-assisted). The goal was to see which approach leads to fewer complications like blood clots and better long-term survival. The results could help doctors decide the best surgical method for these complex cases.
