Brief description/objective

Quality of life (QoL) is temporarily compromised after pancreatic surgery, but no evidence for a negative impact of postoperative complications on QoL has been provided thus far. Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the most common complications after pancreatic surgery and is associated with a high level of distress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the influence of DGE on QoL.
