Abstract:Background and Objectives: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most challenging complications after pancreatic resections, associated with prolonged hospital stay and high mortality. Early identification of pancreatic fistula is necessary for the treatment to be effective. Several prognostic factors have been identified, although it is unclear which one is the most crucial. Some studies show that post-pancreatectomy hypophosphatemia may be associated with the development of POPF. The aim of t… Show more
“…Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common postoperative complication of LPD, which may lead to postoperative bleeding, abdominal infection, longer hospital stay, and fatal organ failure. 1 One of the effective strategies for reducing the incidence of POPF is to optimize the mode of operation. Currently, pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is the mainstream method for pancreatic and digestive tract reconstruction in LPD, in which the pancreatic duct is anastomosed to the jejunal mucosa.…”

“…Special attention should be given to individuals with a vicious cluster consisting of metabolic syndrome, tobacco smoking, and alcohol consumption [ 21 ]. Moreover, the multidisciplinary approach of establishing pancreatic cancer resectability [ 22 ] and prognostication of pancreatic fistulas following resection with regard to early postoperative hypophosphatemia is discussed [ 23 ].…”
Pancreatic diseases, especially acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, are associated with high rates of complications, difficult treatment that may not always be effective, and high mortality in complex cases [...]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
