A common complication in pancreatic surgery is postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), which can lead to serious consequences. There is an international study group addressing this issue and recommending a new definition and classification of postoperative acute pancreatitis. However, there is still no systematic study of the clinical impact and frequency of this complication.
This study aims to investigate the relationship between biochemical changes and postoperative morbidity in pancreatic resections. Early detection of abnormalities in laboratory values will allow faster treatment of potential complications and reduce overall morbidity. These values will be collected and validated in each patient over a 12-month period.
The main objective of the study is to investigate whether postoperative serum hyperamylasemia (POH) is a predictive value for the severity of postoperative acute pancreatitis (PPAP) based on the new definition of ISGPS. The study also investigates the relationship between POPF and PPAP and the predictive value of biochemical changes for severe postoperative acute pancreatitis. In addition, a clinical score is created based on the variables assessed to predict severe postoperative pancreatitis.
