| Abstract | Objective: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common and critical complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). In this study, we aimed to define preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative conditions that may cause POPF and examine the predictive value of drain fluid amylase (DFA) values in showing the clinical severity of POPF. Patients and methods: Between December 2018 and December 2019, 49 patients who underwent PD for malignant reasons by a single team were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with benign indications, vascular reconstruction, preoperative biliary drainage catheterization, resectable liver metastases, POPF that occurred after reoperation, and patients undergoing neoadjuvant oncological treatment were excluded from the study. The patients were divided into two groups developing (FP) and non-developing (FN) POPF. Results: There was no difference between the groups in terms of gender (p=0.781), age (p=0.219), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score (p=0.338), and comorbidity status (p=0.219). The mean body mass index (BMI) kg/m2 values of the patients in the FN and FP groups were 25.2±4.0 kg/m2 and 27.4±2.6 kg/m2, respectively (p=0.042). An increased BMI increases the risk of POPF. Preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) score (p=0.588), preoperative total bilirubin level (p=0.707), pancreatic duct diameter (p=0.334), pancreatic texture (p=0.334), operation time (p=0.659) do not pose a risk for POPF. Increased perioperative bleeding amounted to a risk for POPF (123.8±46.7 ml, 244.7±66.3 ml in FN and FP groups, respectively, p=0.024). Drain fluid amylase (DFA) values (p<0.001, p=0.043, p=0.019, respectively) were found to be high in patients with POPF on postoperative days 1, 4, and 7. Conclusions: Increased BMI and excess perioperative blood loss increase the risk of POPF. DFA level is an easily applicable method that provides early diagnosis for POPF. |
