Risk factors of pancreatic fistula

  • Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common and severe complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy, which may have significant impacts on curative effects and prognosis. It has been shown that POPF is not only closely associated with texture of pancreatic parenchyma, diameter of pancreatic duct and tumor site, but also affected by surgeon′s experience and surgical techniques. Double layer  pancreaticojejunostomy and external pancreatic duct stent may be beneficial to decrease POPF.
