Abstract
Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality after pancreatic surgery. Post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) has been increasingly understood as a precursor and exacerbator of CR-POPF. No longer believed to be the consequence of surgical technique, the solution to preventing CR-POPF may lie instead in non-surgical, mainly pharmacological interventions. Five databases were searched, identifying eight pharmacological preventative strategies, including neoadjuvant therapy, somatostatin and its analogues, antibiotics, analgesia, corticosteroids, protease inhibitors, miscellaneous interventions with few reports, and combination strategies. Two further non-surgical interventions studied were nutrition and fluids. New potential interventions were also identified from related surgical and experimental contexts. Given the varied efficacy reported for these interventions, numerous opportunities for clarifying this heterogeneity remain. By reducing CR-POPF, patients may avoid morbid sequelae, experience shorter hospital stays, and ensure timely delivery of adjuvant therapy, overall aiding survival where prognosis, particularly in pancreatic cancer patients, is poor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fistula risk scores such as distal fistula risk scores and DISPAIR have been recently developed to assess the risk of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. This study aimed to validate these models externally using a large-scale Chinese cohort. METHODS The study enrolled adult patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy at a high-volume single center between January 2011 and December 2021. The clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula was defined as grade B/C, according to the 2016 International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the curve. RESULTS Among 653 eligible patients, 126 (19.3%) suffered from clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas. Independent predictors for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas included body mass index, diabetes mellitus, pancreatic thickness at both neck and transection sites, main pancreatic duct diameter, and soft pancreas. Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula risk increased with increasing score severity. All 3 prediction models showed acceptable discrimination, with area under the curve values of preoperative distal fistula risk score at 0.723 (95% confidence interval 0.687-0.757), intraoperative distal fistula risk score at 0.737 (95% confidence interval 0.701-0.770), and DISPAIR at 0.721 (95% confidence interval 0.685-0.755). No significant differences were found among them. CONCLUSION Distal fistula risk scores and DISPAIR are useful tools for predicting clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy, highlighting their importance in guiding surgical approach decisions and mitigating strategies against this complication in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) is a major source of morbidity after distal pancreatectomy. This study examined the association between postoperative opioid use and CR-POPF in the context of opioid-sparing postoperative care. METHODS A case-control study was performed on consecutive patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy between October 2016 and April 2022 at a single institution. Patients who developed CR-POPF were compared to controls. Multivariable regression modeling was used to identify factors associated with CR-POPF. RESULTS A total of 281 patients underwent 187 open, 20 laparoscopic, and 74 robotic-assisted operations. The rate of CR-POPF was 21% (n = 58). CR-POPF rate declined from 32 to 8% over the study period (p < 0.001). Median oral morphine equivalents (OME) administered on POD 0-1 and 0-3 were 94 and 129 mg, respectively, in patients who did not develop a fistula versus 130 and 180 mg in those who did (both p ≤ 0.001). POD 0-3 OME (OR 1.11, p = 0.044) was independently associated with increased odds of CR-POPF, with each additional 50 mg (equivalent to 10 tramadol pills) increasing the relative risk by 11% and absolute risk by 2%. CONCLUSION Early postoperative opioid use after distal pancreatectomy was associated with increased odds of CR-POPF. Decreasing perioperative opioid use through enhanced postoperative management is a low-cost and generalizable approach that may reduce rates of CR-POPF after distal pancreatectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Distal pancreatectomy has not been well examined in the modern era to guide management for pancreatitis. We evaluated this heterogeneous group and the preoperative factors associated with clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF). METHODS Patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy at a single academic institution from August 2012 to January 2020 were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted between preoperative factors and CR-POPF. RESULTS One hundred and thirty patients underwent distal pancreatectomy. Indication for operative management included chronic pancreatitis and/or pseudotumor in 24.6% (n = 32), disconnected left pancreatic remnant in 31.5% (n = 41), chronic distal pseudocyst in 20.8% (n = 27), and distal necrosis in 13.8% (n = 18). Significant complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III) were seen in 34% of patients. After surgery, 34.2% developed diabetes, 40% had persistent opioid use, and 22.3% had CR-POPF. In multivariate analysis, male sex was significantly associated with CR-POPF (odds ratio 3.1, P = 0.037), and having a preoperative, therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was protective (odds ratio 0.28, P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS Distal pancreatectomy is undertaken in pancreatitis with high morbidity. Female sex and preoperative, therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were significant protective factors for CR-POPF. The natural history of this approach is relevant for those with distal pancreatitis failing medical management.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to elucidate the association between postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP) and clinicopathological factors and intraoperative and postoperative epidural or intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA). METHODS We reviewed data of 116 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy at Gunma University Hospital from October 2000 to October 2019. Clinical POPF was defined as the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula grade B or C. RESULTS Intraoperative and postoperative analgesia included fentanyl-mediated IV-PCA (n = 37, 32%), fentanyl-mediated epidural analgesia (n = 39, 34%), and morphine-mediated epidural analgesia (n = 40, 34%). All patients had received analgesia. Clinical POPF occurred in 34 of the 116 (29%) DP cases. Male sex (P = 0.035) and the length of operation time (P = 0.0070) were significant risk factors of clinical POPF. Furthermore, a thick pancreas was more likely to cause clinical POPF than a thin one (P = 0.052). No statistically significant difference was found between other factors, including intraoperative and postoperative analgesia (P = 0.95), total median oral morphine equivalents (P = 0.23), and clinical POPF. CONCLUSION Intraoperative and postoperative epidural analgesia and IV-PCA are not associated with clinical POPF after DP. Our results suggest that morphine and fentanyl can be used as IV-PCA or epidural analgesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the various operative techniques and outcomes used to manage the pancreatic transection plane (or stump) during a left (distal) pancreatectomy and to develop expert consensus guidelines. METHODS Evidence-based, clinically relevant questions were discussed and then were circulated among members of the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery. After agreement on the questions and statements, voting in a 9-point Likert scale was used to gauge the level of objective support for each. RESULTS Studies using the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery definition of postoperative pancreatic fistula including 16 randomized trials were reviewed to generate a series of statements set into 14 domains. There was strong consensus in the following statements: there was no difference in the postoperative pancreatic fistula rate after left pancreatectomy between the handsewn and stapler techniques; a stapling technique could not be used in all cases of left pancreatectomy; the use of an energy-based tissue sealant or a chemical sealant device or combinations of these did not impact the postoperative pancreatic fistula rate; there was no difference in the postoperative pancreatic fistula rate between the open, laparoscopic, or robotic approaches; and there are 1 or more clinically important, patient-related risk factors associated with the postoperative pancreatic fistula rate. There was weak or conditional agreement on the use of prophylactic somatostatin analogs, stents, stump closure, stump anastomosis, and the role of abdominal drains. CONCLUSION Areas of strong consensus suggests a change in clinical practice and priority setting. Eight domains with lower agreement will require novel approaches and large multicenter studies to determine future key areas of practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE The level of albumin declines after surgery, and whether the difference between preoperative and postoperative albumin levels on postoperative day 1 has an effect on the development of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP) is unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of albumin difference on POPF. METHODS A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who had undergone DP between January 2016 and October 2018 at a single institution was conducted. Patient demographic data and perioperative data were analysed using univariate and multivariate models. Pancreatic fistula was defined by the 2016 International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery criteria. All patients were followed for up to 90 days. RESULTS A total of 211 consecutive patients were identified. The POPF rate was 15.64%, and no 90-day mortality was observed. Five predictors were independently associated with POPF: albumin difference (OR 6.60, 95% CI 2.36-18.45, P < 0.001), pancreatic texture (OR 4.15, 95% CI 1.62-10.63, P = 0.003), operative time (OR 3.13, 95% CI 1.19-8.24, P = 0.021), intraoperative fluid transfusion (OR 4.85, 95% CI 1.70-13.79, P = 0.003), and cardiovascular disease (OR 5.38, 95% CI 1.99-14.55, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Although DP can be performed with a low rate of mortality, POPF remains a common complication. Albumin difference is a new, accessible predictor for POPF following DP.

Abstract
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common and critical complication after pancreatic body and tail resection. How to effectively reduce the occurrence of pancreatic fistula and conduct timely treatment thereafter is an urgent clinical issue to be solved. Recent research standardized the definition of pancreatic fistula and stressed the correlation between POPF classification and patient prognosis. According to the literature, identification of the risk factors for pancreatic fistula contributed to lowering the rate of the complication. Appropriate management of the pancreatic stump and perioperative treatment are of great significance to reduce the rate of POPF in clinical practice. After the occurrence of POPF, the treatment of choice should be determined according to the classification of the pancreatic fistula. However, despite the progress and promising treatment approaches, POPF remains to be a clinical issue that warrants further studies in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review important manuscripts published over the previous 2 years relative to sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD). RECENT FINDINGS The long-term outcomes of the Evaluating Predictors and Interventions of SOD (EPISOD) trial further substantiated results from the initial EPISOD study, reinforcing that neither endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-manometry nor endoscopic sphincterotomy are appropriate for SOD type III. Pain management in the latter patients has reverted to neuromodulating agents, and recent studies have suggested a role for duloxetine and potentially acupuncture. The functional role of the sphincter of Oddi has been reiterated with a report demonstrating a higher clinically significant pancreatic fistula rate in distal pancreatectomy patients treated with higher doses of postoperative narcotics. Moreover, the injection of periampullary botulinum toxin preoperatively has been shown to decrease these fistulas in a pilot trial. Additional studies have reinforced that eluxadoline can cause sphincter of Oddi spasm and pancreatitis. In contrast to approaching patients with acute relapsing pancreatitis using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and manometry, previous and current studies suggest that endoscopic ultrasound should be done first and the role of SOD in idiopathic acute relapsing pancreatitis remains controversial. Finally, there remain widespread disparities in practice patterns in the approach to patients currently classified as SOD type II. SUMMARY In contrast to historical manuscripts which stress the classical definitions of three types of SOD and their consequences, more recent manuscripts on this topic have focused on improving surgical outcomes based on the physiologic role of sphincter of Oddi, as well as the pharmacologic causes and treatments of SOD. The simplistic view that SOD, however it has been diagnosed, requires biliary or dual sphincterotomy is just that, simplistic and potentially misguided.
