This study aims to evaluate intraoperative strategies to mitigate the risk of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Single-center retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from December 2021 to January 2026.
Patients classified into categories based on the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery.
Primary endpoint was clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula defined as Grade B or C.
Among 76 patients, 31.6% developed clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula.
No significant association between intraoperative adjuncts used and reduction of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula.
A low fistula risk score (1-2) was protective against clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.05-0.66; p = 0.009).

Implication

Retrospective cohort study identifies factors associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula risk, suggesting risk stratification for anastomotic protection.
