Postoperative Pancreatitis and Its Correlation With Clinically Relevant Pancreatic Fistula in Pancreaticoduodenectomy

AIM To determine association between postoperative pancreatitis and pancreatic fistula OBJECTIVES 1. To determine incidence of Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) after pancreaticoduodenectomy 2. To determine role of serum amylase levels on day 1 to predict clinically relevant pancreatic fistula 3. To determine risk factors for postoperative pancreatitis and postoperative pancreatic fistula Primaryendpoint: Incidence of post operative pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula. Secondaryendpoints: 1. to identify the possible predictors of post operative pancreatitis. 2. to investigate the association between post operative pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula. MATERIAL AND METHODS Study centre: Inpatient admissions in Department of gastroenterology, Asian institute of gastroenterology, Hyderabad Study population: Patients who are supposed to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy Study design: Prospective observational study Study period: Study will be conducted till desired sample size achieved or March 2020 to march 2022
