Study Description

Brief Summary: To investigate whether pancreatic cancer is the cause of heterotopic ossification of abdominal incision.

Detailed Description: Heterotopic ossification of abdominal incision (HOAI) has long been regarded as a rare complication after general surgery. However,according to our retrospective analysis. HOAI was more frequently observed in the malignancy group (33/121 cases, 27.3%) than in the non- malignancy group. Because of the many biases in the retrospective analysis, the result was not widely shared. The purpose of this prospective study is to confirm that pancreatic cancer is the cause of heterotopic ossification of abdominal incisions. According to postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into two groups: pancreatic cancer group and benign diseases group.The researchers will observe whether patients develop heterotopic ossification of the abdominal incision one year after surgery to conclude.
