ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
No studies to date have determined the impact of pancreatic fat infiltration on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurrence in patients undergoing invagination pancreaticojejunostomy (IV-PJ).METHODS:
The medical records of patients with a soft pancreas who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy followed by IV-PJ were reviewed . The pancreatic fat ratio on computed tomography (CT) images (I-PFR) was determined using preoperative CT and verified by histologic examination. The relationship between the I-PFR and POPF occurrence was determined. Patients were classified into 2 groups based on I-PFR value (fatty and non-fatty pancreas). Postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups, and specifically among patients who developed POPF.RESULTS:
Of 221 patients, POPF occurred in 67 (30.3%). I-PFR was positively correlated with histologic-calculated fat ratio (ρ = 0.517, p < 0.001). This index was shown to be an independent predictor of POPF. Based on an I-PFR cut-off value of 3.2%, 92 patients were classified in the fatty pancreas group. Subgroup analysis of the patients who developed POPF showed that incidence of abscess formation and hemorrhage tended to be higher in patients with fatty pancreas than in those with non-fatty pancreas.CONCLUSIONS:
Pancreatic fat infiltration is highly associated with POPF and possibly causes subsequent serious complications in patients undergoing IV-PJ.
