Prediction of Pancreatic Fistula After Distal Pancreatectomy Based on Cross-Sectional Images

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most common and clinically relevant complications after distal pancreatectomy (DP), occurring in 5–40% of patients. Determining risk factors for this complication may aid in its prevention. This study sought to predict the development of POPF after DP preoperatively and objectively based on radiologic findings. This study included 60 patients who underwent DP using a stapler for pancreatic...
