Abstract

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard procedure for pancreatic head and periampullary diseases. PD is an aggressive surgery, and some persistent complications of PD have been reported, which include pancreatic fistula, intra-abdominal abscess, intra-abdominal hemorrhage, and delayed gastric emptying (DGE). Especially, pancreatic fistula is associated with all of these postoperative complications and contributes to overall morbidity and mortality [1–4].
