Technical and Mechanical Risk Factors for Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula in Pancreaticojejunostomy

The purpose of this study was to identify basic risk factors for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreaticojejunostomy.Seventy-one patients underwent pancreaticojejunostomy with duct-to-mucosa anastomosis (DMA). Between POPF group (n=8) and non- POPF group (n=63), the following clinical parameters were compared; pancreatic texture evaluated pathologically with score, diameter of the pancreatic duct, total number of sutures,...
