Pancreatic surgery outcomes: Snapshot study across 67 countries reveals significantly higher postoperative mortality rates in low-to-middle-HDI nations compared to high-HDI counterparts.

Collaborative efforts among pancreatic surgeons globally are needed to address disparities and enhance postoperative care, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
