Clinical and economic consequences of pancreatic fistula after elective pancreatic resection

Result description

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula is the main cause of morbidity after pancreatic resection. This study aimed to quantify the clinical and economic consequences of pancreatic fistula in a medium-volume pancreatic surgery center. METHODS: Hospital records from patients who had undergone elective pancreatic resection in our department were identified. Pancreatic fistula was defined according to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF). The consequences of pancreatic fistula were determined by treatment cost, hospital stay, and out-patient follow-up until the pancreatic fistula was completely healed. All costs of the treatment are calculated in Euros. The cost increase index was calculated for pancreatic fistula of grades A,B, and C as multiples of the total cost for the no fistula group. RESULTS: In 54 months, 102 patients underwent elective pancreatic resections. Forty patients (39.2%) developed pancreatic fistula, and 54 patients (52.9%) had one or more c
