Analysis of pancreatic fistula correlated factors after pancreatoduodenectomy

Objective:To investigate the risk factors associated with the development of pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy(PD).Methods:We statistically analysized the clinical data of 141 cases undergone PD from 1997 to 2007.Results:There was significant correlation between texture of pancreas,icterus,operation time with development of pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy,but no significant correlation with age,sex,preoperative hemoglobin level and preoperative prealbumin level,blood loss during operation.Conclusion:Texture of pancreas,icterus,and operation time are main risk factors of development of pancreatic fistula after PD.
