Core Tip	New-onset diabetes mellitus is a frequent and clinically important consequence of distal pancreatectomy, driven by loss of β-cell mass and potential impairment of pancreatic remnant perfusion. Its incidence varies widely due to differences in surgical technique, underlying pathology, and patient metabolic status. Key determinants include preoperative glucose intolerance, pancreatic steatosis, patient age, and the volume and vascularization of the remnant gland. Recognizing these risk factors enables improved patient selection, early detection, and tailored follow-up strategies. This review highlights emerging evidence on modifiable operative considerations and underscores the need for targeted research to reduce new-onset diabetes mellitus risk.
