“…Somatostatin and its synthetic analogues (e.g., octreotide) reduce splanchnic blood flow and the release of pancreatic exocrine secretion [162]. The rationale for its use is to reduce the risk of pancreatic anastomotic fistulas by decreasing the volume of pancreatic exocrine secretions.…”

“…T h e y s h o w e d t h a t t h e i n c i d e n c e o f pancreatic fistula was 18% in the patients received perioperative octreotide treatment and 37% in patients received placebo after pancreatic resection. Suc et al [22] also described the advantage of using octreotide after pancreaticoduodenectomy.…”

“…Similar results were reported from two multicentre studies from Italy [71, 72]with 218 and 252 patients, respectively, and from an institutional study with 75 patients from France [73](table 7). The latest published trial, also from France, randomised 230 patients who underwent pancreato-duodenectomy (n = 177) or distal pancreatectomy (n = 53) either to octreotide (n = 122) or placebo (n = 108) [74]. There was no significant difference in the frequency of intra-abdominal complications (22% in the octreotide group versus 32% in the placebo group, p = 0.08) nor in the rate of pancreatic fistula (17 versus 19%, respectively).…”
