Summary

The use of epidural catheters for postoperative analgesia in pancreatic surgery is recommended by the guidelines of the ERAS society. Some studies claim it may expose to hemodynamic alterations that may compromise outcome and increase postoperative complications, attributable to a malfunction of the catheter itself, often linked to a bad positioning, since this is usually positioned with LOS technique. Our hypothesis is that a positioning made using the radiographic guide the day before the intervention can significantly reduce the number of catheter's dysfunctions.
