Abstract Background Pancreatic fistula is one of the serious complications for patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy, which leads to significant morbidity. The aim of our study is to compare linear stapling closure plus continuous suture with linear stapling closure alone during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) in terms of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rate. Methods Twenty-two patients underwent LDP at our institution between 2011 and 2013. Twelve patients had linear stapling closure with peri-firing compression (LSC) alone compared with ten patients who had linear stapling closure, peri-firing compression plus continuous suture (LSC/CS) for stump closure of remnant pancreas in LDP. Biochemical leak and clinically relevant POPF were compared between both groups. Results POPF occurred in 4 of 12 (33.3%) patients with linear stapling closure while no patient developed a clinically relevant POPF in the triple combination of linear stapling, peri-firing compression plus continuous suture group (p = 0.043).1 patient (8.3%) in the LSC group and 5 patients (50%) in the LSC/CS group had evidence of a biochemical leak. There were no significant differences in operative time (188.3 vs 187.0 min) and blood loss (135 vs. 240 g) between both groups but there was a significantly of shorter length of hospital stay (11.9 vs. 19.9 days) in LSC/CS group (p = 0.037). There was no mortality in either group. Conclusions The triple combination of linear stapling, peri-firing compression plus continuous suture in LDP has effectively prevented occurrence of clinically relevant ISGPF POPF. Trial registration The study was retrospectively registered September 30, 2019 at Showa University Ethics Committee as IRB protocol numbers 2943.

Abstract Background Pancreatic juice is constantly activated by contaminated bile in patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). Here, we report a case of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for a patient with PBM and sphincterotomized papilla, resulting in fatal pancreatic fistula. Case presentation A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and common bile duct stones. Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed prior to surgery. The pancreatic duct was simultaneously visualized when the contrast agent was injected into the common bile duct. Sudden bleeding was observed from the abdominal drain on postoperative day (POD) 6. Emergent stent graft placement and coil embolization were performed for bleeding from the splenic artery. On POD 9, the drainage fluid changed to yellowish in color with bile contamination. For internal drainage of the digestive fluid, endoscopic retrograde biliary tube and pancreatic drainage tube were placed. On POD 24, second emergent coil embolization was performed for bleeding from the left gastric artery. On POD 25, open abdominal drainage was performed. On POD 32, third emergent coil embolization was performed for bleeding from the gastroduodenal artery. Subsequently, remnant pancreatic resection was performed. On POD 39, massive bleeding was again observed from the abdominal drain. Emergency arterial portography revealed bleeding in the right wall of the superior mesenteric vein. The patient died of hemorrhagic shock on the same day. Conclusions The extreme risk of severe pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy should be considered in patients with PBM and sphincterotomized papilla. In this extraordinary situation, surgeons should promptly decide whether to resect the remnant pancreas to prevent losing the patient.

Despite mortality in pancreatic surgery has decreased over the last decade, morbidity remains high. One of the most important causes is pancreatic fistula. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of fluid therapy management during the perioperative period in major abdominal surgeries. This finding was observed first in colonic surgery, demonstrating that overload of fluids increases postoperative complications. Objective. To evaluate the impact of fluid management on postoperative complications after laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. Material and methods. Descriptive, retrospective study of a prospective database of patients whom underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy from November 2011 to September 2018. Thirty patients were evaluated and divided in two groups depending on the fluid management (restrictive, or liberal). The data were collected from the anesthesia protocols and nursery reports (until 3rd postoperative day). Demographics, length of stay, kind of fluid management and complications were analyzed. For statistical analysis SPSS®v.21 was used (p < 0.05 was considered significant). Results. Out of 30 patients, 17% were male, mean age was 55 ± 18 years (r 19-82); 17 patients (57%) were included in the liberal group and 13 (43%) in the restrictive group. Twenty-three patients developed complications; 16 (53%) belonged to liberal group whereas 7 (23%) to restrictive group. (p = 0.01). Fourteen patients of liberal group vs. 6 patients of restrictive group had postoperative pancreatic fistula (p = 0.04). There were 7 patients (23%) in liberal group. and 4 (13%) patients in restrictive group with clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (13%, p = NS). Ninety day-mortality was 3.3, with no differences between groups. Conclusion. After laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, liberal fluid administration at the perioperative period is associated with an increase in the incidence of complication, specially favoring the development of pancreatic fistula.
