Abstract

Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is one of the mosta technically demanding operationschallenging procedure. In recent decades, mortality has reduced in high-volume centers thanks to technical evolution and perioperative management improvements . Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) still remainsis the main cause of morbidity, with a reported ranging incidence from 2% to 42.5% reported in literature. Most of POPF are successfully treated resolve with conservative management,, and only a small percentage requires percutaneous drainage or surgical operation. The routine use administration of somatostatin in POPF prevention of POPF is controversial and several works have shown no beneficial effects in this setting. The aim of this study is to compare the incidence of fistula in patients who underwent PD with the same pancreatojejunostomy technique, with and without the postoperative use of somatostatin. Methods Between October 2008 and October 2018, A total of 493 pancreatic resections were performed at the our General Surgery Unit, University of Pisa between October 2008 and October 2018.; Among these, 259 were PD, 152 of which 152 were carried out with a personal, modified invaginatedion pancreatojejunostomy technique (mPJ), introduced on November 2010. Somatostatin was routinely administered after PD with mPJ technique (mPJ-PD) between November 2010 and December 2016, while from January 2017 to October 2018, 52 consecutive mPJ-PD without somatostatin (WS) were performed.
