Overview

This review highlights risk factors and consequences of post-operative pancreatic fistula, suggesting mitigation strategies to improve outcomes after distal pancreatectomy.

Key Points

Post-operative pancreatic fistula affects 20-30% of patients following distal pancreatectomy, leading to serious complications and care delays.
Key risk factors for developing post-operative pancreatic fistula include obesity, smoking, and elevated drain amylase levels.
Mitigation strategies studied include optimizing pancreatic transection and using somatostatin analogues to reduce complications.
Understanding these aspects of post-operative pancreatic fistula may help improve patient outcomes in pancreatic surgery.
