Background: Partial pancreatectomy is one of the main causes of type II diabetes, which occurs because of insulin deficiency due to a decrease in the number of beta-cells. Partial pancreatectomy is the treatment of choice particularly for pancreatic cysts, benign and malign tumors of the pancreas, and pancreatic abscesses. Morbidity and mortality associated with pancreatectomy increases as a result of diabetes and its complications.
