Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the relationship between pancreatic duct size and the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in patients undergoing duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy (DTMPJ) after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
- Out of 288 patients studied from 2003 to 2019, 56.3% experienced POPF, with the highest incidence occurring in those with duct diameters ≤ 1 mm, showing a significant risk increase compared to larger ducts.
- The findings suggest that DTMPJ is safe for patients with pancreatic ducts larger than 1 mm, indicating that smaller duct size is a predictor for higher POPF rates, especially in patients with a soft pancreas.
Background And Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the commonest cancer in the world. Despite curative resection, recurrence remains the largest challenge. Many risk factors were identified for predicting recurrence, including liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
