    Pancreatic fistula is a significant complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy, affecting approximately 28.5% of patients.

  • 2

    The incidence of pancreatic fistula is associated with factors such as BMI, preoperative γ-GGT, pancreatic duct size, and pancreatic fibrosis.

  • 3

    Pancreatic fibrosis, which leads to hardening of the pancreas, may influence the risk and severity of pancreatic fistula after surgery.

  • 4

    Preoperative pancreatic CT values can predict the incidence of pancreatic fistula, reflecting the degree of pancreatic fibrosis.

  • 5

    The study analyzed 529 patients to explore the correlation between pancreatic fibrosis and the incidence of pancreatic fistula post-surgery.
