BACKGROUND: Octreotide is known to decrease the rate of postoperative complication after pancreatic resection by diminishing exocrine function of the pancreas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of octreotide in decreasing exocrine excretion of pancreas and preventing pancreatic fistula. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective randomized trial was conducted involving 59 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for either malignant or benign tumor, 29 patients were randomized to receive octreotide; 30 patients allotted to placebo. All pancreaticojejunal anastomosis was performed with external stent of negative-pressured drainage and the amount of pancreatic juice through the external stent was measured until postoperative 7th day. Pancreatic fistula was recorded. RESULTS: There were no differences in demographics, pancreatic texture and pancreatic duct diameter between the octreotide and placebo group. The median output of pancreatic juice was not significantly different between both groups during 7 days after surgery. When the patients were stratified according to the diameter of pancreatic duct (duct ≤5 mm, > 5 mm), there were no significant differences in daily amount of pancreatic juice, however, when stratified according to pancreatic texture, median output of pancreatic juice was significantly lower in patients with hard pancreas compared with those with soft pancreas from 5 day to 7 day after surgery (p < 0.05). No significant differences in pancreatic fistula and postoperative complications were found between the octreotide and placebo groups. CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic octreotide is not effective to inhibit the exocrine secretion of the remnant pancreas and does not decrease the incidence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
