Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a serious complication that can occur following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Recent studies suggest that remnant pancreatic volume (RPV) values from preoperative multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) are highly predictive of POPF. We performed three-dimensional (3D) surgical simulation of PD including RPV measurements. The aim of this study was to determine whether 3D-measured RPV is predictive of POPF after PD.
Methods: We used the SYNAPSE VINCENT® medical imaging system (Fujifilm Medical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) to construct 3D images after integrating MDCT and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography images. RPV was measured using this 3D image, which simulated actual intraoperative pancreatic parenchymal remnant volume. Ninety-one patients who underwent PD were retrospectively enrolled. Using multivariate analysis, RPV and other well-known POPF risk factors were independently assessed.
Results: Multivariate analysis identified high RPV values (hazard ratio [HR] = 8.41, = 0.01), pancreatic duct diameter < 3.0 mm (HR = 5.48, < 0.01), no pathological fibrosis (HR = 3.41, < 0.01), and body mass index > 25 kg/m (HR = 1.53, = 0.02) as independent risk factors for POPF.
Conclusion: The present study indicates that preoperative 3D-measured RPV is predictive of POPF after PD.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the potentially serious complications after gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC). Drain amylase level is a predictor of POPF in open and laparoscopic gastrectomy, but no study has focused on minimally invasive surgery (MIS), including robotic gastrectomy (RG). This study assesses the effect of drain amylase levels for POPF in MIS and develop a prediction model in the MIS era.

Background/objectives: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a critical complication of pancreatectomy, with a higher risk associated with the absence of pancreatic fibrosis. We investigated whether pancreatic extracellular volume fraction (ECV) calculated from preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) images can be used to predict pancreatic fibrosis and POPF.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent CE-CT before pancreatectomy.

Background/aims: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), which is considered the most frightening complication after pancreatic oduodenectomy (PD), continues to be a serious problem even in experienced centers. In the present study, we aimed to determine the risk factors that increase the progression from biochemical leak (BL) to clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after PD.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 152 patients who underwent PD.

Backgrounds/aims: Pancreatic texture is difficult to predict without palpation. Soft pancreatic texture is associated with increased post-operative complications, including postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), cardiac, and respiratory complications. We aimed to develop a calculator predicting pancreatic texture using patient factors and to illustrate complications from soft pancreatic texture following pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Various risk assessment models have been established to predict the likelihood of POPF. An updated alternate fistula risk score (ua-FRS) has been recently refined and validated within European cohorts.
