Pancreatic
fistula (PF) is an early complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. PF occurs
because of disruption to the pancreatodigestive tract anastomosis with
stricture or occlusion. A strategy to treat PF using interventional methods is
proposed.
We treated a
total of 6 patients with PF by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided or percutaneouspancreatic
duct drainage. In this paper, these patients are reviewed
based on the applied treatment for PF.
Results: At the
time of introduction to our department, all the patients, except for one, had a
percutaneous drainage tube implanted prior to surgery.
