| Core Tip |
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a major challenge in pancreatic surgery. Somatostatin and its analogs reduce exocrine secretion and have been widely evaluated for POPF prevention and management. Evidence from recent meta-analyses and randomized trials suggests that while these agents significantly lower POPF incidence, their effect on mortality is minimal. Current research focuses on patient risk stratification and long-acting depot formulations, such as preoperative lanreotide, to enhance compliance and cost-effectiveness. A tailored, risk-adjusted prophylaxis strategy may represent the future standard of care. |
