Study Summary

A very common complication following distal pancreatectomy is leakage from the pancreas, or what is called a pancreatic fistula. We hypothesize that operative drains which create suction may contribute to the development of leakage from the pancreas. This study evaluates the effect of using non-suctioning drains to prevent the development of this complication.

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoint of the study is the developement of post-operative pancreatic fistula, as defined by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Jackson-Pratt Drain
  • DEVICE Non-suctioning drainage
