Prevention of pancreatic fistula
| There is currently no favored pancreatico-digestive anastomotic technique with regard to decreased pancreatic fistula rates |
| The routine use of octreotide can only be recommended in the case of: |
| Friable pancreatic tissue |
| Small diameter of the main pancreatic duct (< 3 mm) |
| Trans-anastomotic, percutaneously placed drainage of the main pancreatic duct decreases the risk of pancreatic fistula formation |
