Abstract
BACKGROUND: There are few large samples and single-center series that focus on the outcomes of pancreatic enucleation and risk factors for clinical pancreatic fistula (PF). This study aimed to evaluate the indications, short- and long-term results, and risk factors for clinical PF after pancreatic enucleation. METHODS: Patients who underwent pancreatic enucleation from January 2005 to April 2011 at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China were included. Clinical data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 119 patients underwent enucleation. PF was the most common complication; the incidence of clinical PF (grades B and C) was 27.7 %. The most common indications were endocrine neoplasms (76.5 %). During a median follow-up of 41 months, no patient developed exocrine insufficiency. Three elderly patients developed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. One patient with VIPoma developed recurrence and liver metastasis. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or III (P = 0.009; hazard ratio (HR) 3.191; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.334-7.632), operative time ≥180 min (P = 0.025; HR 2.664; 95 % CI 1.112-6.386) were the independent risk factors for clinical PF. CONCLUSION: Enucleation is a safe and effective treatment for benign and low malignant lesions of the pancreas. NYHA class II or III and operation time of ≥180 min are independent risk factors for clinical PF.
