1
This parenchymal consistence represents the main risk factor for post-operative pancreatic fistula.
2
No patient required another surgical procedure for a pancreatic fistula or abdominal collection.
3
One persistent pancreatic fistula following external drainage was treated by fistulogastrostomy.
4
Postoperative pancreatic fistula was defined according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery.
5
One patient developed a pancreatic fistula, which was treated conservatively.
6
However, pancreatic fistula remains a major and frequent complication in Lap-DP, as in open surgery.
7
Background: Postoperative morbidity of pancreaticoduodenectomy remains high and is mainly related to postoperative pancreatic fistula.
8
The primary endpoint was the combination of pancreatic fistula and death until postoperative day 7.
9
Results: Postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in four cases.
10
The most frequent surgical complication was pancreatic fistula.
11
The primary end points were post-operative mortality rate, and the rate and grade of post-operative pancreatic fistula.
12
Conclusions: Our data show that PFC effectively prevents pancreatic fistula and shortens postoperative hospital stay after Lap-DP.
13
Avoiding the pancreatic fistula caused many surgical innovations regarding the procedure of reestablishing the continuity after pancreatoduodenectomy.
14
The algorithm is designed to aid early detection and minimally invasive step-up management of postoperative pancreatic fistula.
15
Results: Incidence of clinical pancreatic fistula was significantly lower in the PFC group than in the no-PFC group.
16
Background: The effect of a harmonic scalpel on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) has not been addressed.
