Core Tip	The aim of the study is to determine the possibility of early prediction of the occurrence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (CRPF) during the postoperative period after cephalic duodenopancreatectomy for periampullary carcinoma by measuring drain fluid amylase (DFA) values during the first 3 postoperative days. Three-hundred and eighty-two surgically treated patients with resectable periampullary tumors were prospectively analyzed between 2005 and 2012. The total incidence of pancreatic fistula was 37.7%. The median DFA values were significantly higher in patients who developed CRPF. We concluded DFA could represent a reliable predictive parameter for CRPF development.
