Postoperative acute necrotizing pancreatitis of the pancreatic remnant (POANP): a new definition of severe pancreatitis following pancreaticoduodenectomy

摘要

Background: Recent studies have suggested acute pancreatitis as a separate pancreatic-specific complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy. However, data on necrotizing pancreatitis of the pancreatic remnant is limited. This study aimed to evaluate parameters of patients undergoing completion pancreatectomy (CP) after initial pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and compare those with or without necrosis of the pancreatic remanent.
