The Combination of Pancreas Texture and Postoperative Serum Amylase in Predicting Pancreatic Fistula Risk

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (PF) remains one of the most significant complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Recently, studies have suggested that post-PD serum hyperamylasemia (HA) may be a risk factor. In this study, we evaluate the relationship of pancreas texture and post-operative serum amylase levels in determining PF risk. This retrospective cohort study evaluated all patients who underwent PD at Thomas Jefferson University...
