Risk Factors for Clinically Relevant Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula

Completed
Conditions
Pancreatic Fistula
Registration Number
NCT05687825
Lead Sponsor
South Valley University
Brief Summary

For periampullary and pancreatic head disorders, pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment. However, PD is technically demanding and has high morbidity and mortality rates. The most significant and life-threatening complication of PD is postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), with reported rates of 5 to 70% for total POPF and 10 to 45% for clinically relevant (CR-POPF). Operative risk variables for CR-POPF after PD were investigated in this study.
