Abstract | BACKGROUND/AIMS: METHODOLOGY: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 112 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, which included patient's demographics, disease-related factors and operative risk factors. RESULTS: Between the interrupted suture and continuous suture groups, there was no significant difference in presence of preoperative biliary drainage, pancreas texture, the pancreatic duct diameter and the prevalence of coronary artery disease. Postoperative pancreatic fistula developed in 21 (18.8%) of the 112 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Only preoperative biliary drainage and operation type showed significant differences for developing pancreatic fistula in a multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS:
