Predictors of Severity of Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreatoduodenectomy

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is one of the commonly performed procedure for periampullary carcinoma/distal cholangio carcinoma/head of pancreas carcinoma. Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains the most important postoperative complication following pancreatic surgery. It's severity ranges from biochemical leak to grade C POPF which can lead to mortality. Radiological and biochemical parameters in early postoperative period predicts the severity of POPF after pancreatoduodenectomy. In this study, we will be evaluating the biochemical parameters and imaging findings as predictors of the severity of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy in early postoperative period.
