Abstract
There is wide variability in the use of suture material for pancreatic anastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study evaluates the role of suture material on clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) in a risk-adjusted setting.A retrospective study comparing (polyester) PE with polydioxanone (PDO) in 520 PDs. Patients were matched for risk for CR-POPF according to the fistula...
