Abstract

Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains the most severe and worrisome complication after surgery. Predictive preoperative assessment remains challenging. The authors examine the role of pancreatic computed tomography density in predicting postoperative pancreatic fistula after surgery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. A single institutional retrospective review of pancreatic surgery for neuroendocrine tumors between 1998 and 2010 was conducted. Preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans were reviewed, with mean region of interest measurements of pancreatic parenchymal density obtained from 10-mm thick axial computed tomography images. A total of 119 patients were identified: 59 with enucleations and 60 with resections. Decreased preoperative pancreatic density was significantly associated with an increased grade of postoperative pancreatic fistula (P < .01). Subgroup analyses revealed that decreased gland density was associated with increased grade of postoperative pancreatic fistula in the resection (P < .01) but not in the enucleation group (P = .34). A significant association between postoperative pancreatic fistula grade and preoperative pancreatic computed tomography density is observed in patients under...Continue Reading
