Background Acute pancreatitis is fraught with a variety of complications, which account for the mortality associated. Our case had a fulminant course, with three rare, near-fatal complications and was successfully managed conservatively. Pleural effusion due to pleuro-pancreatic fistula is
BACKGROUND
Chyle leakage is a rare complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and its association with pancreatic fistula has not been established. The aim of this study was to (1) evaluate the incidence, management, and risk factors of chyle leakage after PD; (2) determine if there is a relation
Visceral obesity is one of the risk factors for clinically relevant pancreatic fistula after pancreatic resection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of intraperitoneal lipolysis on postoperative pancreatic fistula.The degree of We investigated the effect of fat or digestive products of fat on the release of endogenous secretin in 15 gastric fistula dogs with either pancreatic fistulas or duodenal fistulas. In 4 dogs with both gastric and duodenal cannulas, intraduodenal administration of corn oil (Lipomul) at a dose of 15
There is conflicting evidence of the effect of intravenous fat emulsions on pancreatic secretion. Intralipid is a safe component of intravenous nutritional support in patients with pancreatic fistulas, though it may minimally increase the volume, as well as the bicarbonate and amylase
The effects of sodium oleate and triglyceride infused into the duodenum of dogs with chronic pancreatic fistulas on pancreatic secretion and plasma immunoreactive secretin were investigated. The responses were compared with those following intravenous secretin infusions. Oleate markedly increased
In dogs prepared with either pancreatic duct ligation (PDL) or chronic pancreatic fistula (PF), we investigated the effect of pancreatic enzymes on release of cholecystokinin (CCK) in response to corn oil in the upper small intestine. In control dogs without PDL, intraduodenal administration of corn
BACKGROUND
Chyle leak is a well known but poorly characterized complication after pancreatic surgery. Available data on incidence, risk factors and clinical significance of chyle leak are highly heterogeneous.
METHODS
For this cohort study all patients who underwent pancreatic surgery between
