| Core Tip |
Pancreatic fistula after pancreatic surgery is a potentially fatal refractory complication. We describe the typical findings based on three patients who survived, and two patients who died of fatal complications. We also discuss the importance of intensive treatment for postoperative pancreatic fistula, with a literature review. Continuous local lavage (CLL) has been reevaluated as an effective treatment for severe infected pancreatitis, and our findings show that CLL shortened the therapeutic duration for postoperative pancreatic fistula. We suggest that CLL has therapeutic potential for postoperative pancreatic fistula. We also introduce our institutional protocol for CLL for postoperative pancreatic fistula. |
