Abstract

En 中文
Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) remains the dominant problem following pancreatoduodenectomy. Level 1 evidence, accrued over 35 years, now includes dozens of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses which assess myriad mitigation techniques. Their conclusions are not generally reflected in actual adoption into clinical practice; meanwhile, experiential data might enable more comprehensive evaluation of mitigation. A conundrum arises: how can surgeons reconcile these contrasting sources to effect best practice?
