Correlation between Preoperative Imaging and Intraoperative Risk Assessment in the Prediction of Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula Following Pancreatoduodenectomy

Background Prediction of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) can be carried out with the intraoperative assessment of pancreatic consistency (PC) and via pancreatic duct width (iPDW). Preoperative computed tomography (CT) calculated pancreatic remnant volume (PRV) and duct width (rPDW) have also been shown to offer useful information about the risk of POPF.
