Mitigating Postoperative Fistula Risks in Laparoscopic Pancreatic Enucleation: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreatic enucleation is a reliable surgical method for treating benign and borderline pancreatic tumors; however, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is high, especially when the tumor is close to the main pancreatic duct. This study aimed to reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula by preoperative placement of pancreatic stents and to summarize our center's experience with this procedure.

Methods

From June 2020 to July 2023, patients diagnosed with benign or borderline pancreatic tumors at Renji Hospital were included. The pancreatic duct stent is placed through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography on the day of surgery or 1 day before surgery. The effectiveness of preoperative pancreatic stent placement in reducing pancreatic f
