This analysis identifies WBC and CRP as key predictors of postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy, suggesting early diagnostic alternatives.
Background: Distal pancreatectomy (DP) carries high risk for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). This study evaluates WBC, CRP, and IL-6 as serum-based predictors, offering potential alternatives to drain amylase for early POPF diagnosis.
