Pathologic Assessment of Pancreatic Fibrosis for Objective Prediction of Pancreatic Fistula and Management of Prophylactic Drain Removal After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Abstract: The pathological evaluation of pancreatic fibrosis could objectively predict PF occurrence. Intraoperative assessment of pancreatic fibrosis could be applied to tailor postoperative drain management after PD.

“…[3][4][5][6] Besides these evidences, many efforts have been made to reduce incidence of POPF: modifications of surgical procedures, use of stent for internal or external drainage of pancreatic juice, prophylactic administration of somatostatin, management of abdominal drains. [14][15][16] Serum albumin predicts pancreatic fistula E603 Recent studies suggested the opportunity to assess histologically the grade of pancreatic fibrosis in order to define objective and reproducible parameters able to define the role of pancreas consistency in POPF risk.…”
