Article Synopsis
- - Pancreatic fistula (PF) is a major complication after pancreatic surgery, affecting about 30% of patients, and involves the failure of the pancreas to heal properly after procedures like distal pancreatectomy.
- - The study proposes that using somatostatin-14, a natural hormone with a stronger affinity for somatostatin receptors, may better prevent PF compared to octreotide, a common treatment.
- - The PreFiPS study will compare the effectiveness of somatostatin and octreotide in preventing PF and will also assess other factors like hospital stay duration, readmission rates, and overall quality of life post-surgery.
