Postoperative pancreatic fistula: an international study group (ISGPF) definition. (2005, neutral): “The most commonly used terms to identify the complication are as follows: fistula, leak, leakage, focal postoperative pancreatitis, and anastomotic failure or anastomotic insufficiency.(1-51) The Heidelberg and Johns Hopkins groups used a similar definition of POPF: drainage of more than 50 mL of fl”
Changes in morbidity after pancreatic resection: toward the end of completion pancreatectomy. (2003, neutral): “(%) End-to-end 34 (7) 4 (5) 0 End-to-side 434 (93) 7 (8) 0 Side-to-side 150 (32)† 0 0”
Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreatic surgery: a suggested definition by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS). (2007, background): “In one report, the rate of DGE decreased from 17% to 6% over a 10-year period.(41) The authors attributed this decrease in DGE to greater expertise and decreasing use of pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy.”
Assessment of Complications After Pancreatic Surgery: A Novel Grading System Applied to 633 Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy (2006, result): “This finding is consistent with recent reports that surgery should not be denied solely on the basis of age.(28,34,35) A history of cardiovascular disease was the only statistically significant risk factor for the frequency and severity of complications according to multivariate analysis.”
