Pancreatic Fistula Fistula

Distal pancreas resection is a relatively rare procedure with a known risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Until quite recently, no valid risk prediction models for this have been available. In 2022 two different risk scores DISPAIR and D-FRS were published. The aim of this study is to compare, validate and possibly improve those scores in a international retrospective multicenter cohort.
Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
