Core Tip	While pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains the only curative option for some benign and malignant diseases of the pancreas peri-ampullary region and head, it is inherently difficult and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The most important factor of morbidity and mortality following PD is the appearance of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). The Chinese PLA General Hospital performs 200 to 400 PD procedures per year. Analysis of our case series showed that a pancreatic duct diameter ≤ 3 mm is an independent POPF risk factor. External stent drainage of pancreatic secretion may reduce mortality of clinically relevant-POPF and alleviate POPF severity.
