    Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has a high postoperative complication rate, ranging from 25% to 65%, despite improvements in mortality rates.

  • 2

    Postoperative intra-abdominal collections (IC) occur in 6% to 11% of PD cases and can lead to severe complications like sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

  • 3

    Clinically relevant intra-abdominal collections (CR-IC) require interventions such as antibiotics or drainage and are associated with worse outcomes after PD.

  • 4

    The current classification of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) does not adequately address the impact of intra-abdominal collections on patient outcomes.

  • 5

    Elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels may correlate with the development of CR-IC after PD, but this relationship has not been thoroughly investigated.
