ABSTRACT

Pancreatic fistula is a common and serious complication after pancreatic surgery. Pancreatic fistula, intra-abdominal infection and hemorrhage are known as the " lethal triad" after pancreatic surgery, which seriously affect the curative efficacy of operation. Although the incidence of pancreatic fistula has not been significantly reduced, there have been a large number of studies on the risk factors of pancreatic fistula and the means of prevention and therapy, which try to minimize the harm of pancreatic fistula. In this article we review the recent development of the latest definition, high risk factors and treatment of postoperative pancreatic fistula according to relevant literatures at home and abroad, aiming at summarizing the research advances on the therapy of pancreatic fistula after pancreatic surgery.
