Abstract
Palpatory assessment of pancreatic hardness performed by experienced surgeons correlated well to durometric measurements and remains the method of choice for intraoperative decision making. Durometry was more precise and should be considered in studies on pancreatic texture and for teaching purposes. Hardness and fibrosis grade appeared to be independent characteristics of pancreatic texture.
