Objective To explore risk factors for pancreatic fistula and severe pancreatic fistula (grade B and C) after distal pancreatectomy. Methods One hundred and fifty patients underwent distal pancreatectomy were collected and analyzed from January 2012 to December 2014 in this retrospective study,among which 61 cases were male,89 cases were female,age from 18 to 78 years old.The risk factors for pancreatic fistula and severe pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results In these patients,136 cases were underwent laparotomy,8 cases were underwent total laparoscopic surgery,6 cases were underwent hand assisted laparoscopic surgery;39 cases were preserved spleen,111 cases were combined splenectomy.Technique for closure of the pancreas remnant,15 cases were used cut stapler (Echelon 60,EC60),77 cases were used cut stapler (Echelon 60,EC60) combined with manual suture,52 cases were underwent manual cut and suture,and 6 cases were underwent pancreatic stump jejunum anastomosis.The total incidence of complications was 36.0%(54/150),the postoperative hospitalization time was (9.1±6.2) d,the reoperation rate was 2.7%(4/150),the perioperative mortality was 0,the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula was 34.7%(grade B and C was 10.0%).In these patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula,the postoperative hospitalization time was (12.6±9.3) d,the reoperation rate was 7.7%(4/52).The results of the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the hypoproteinemia (OR=4.919,P<0.05) was the risk factor for pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy,the malignancy (OR=4.125,P<0.05) was the risk factor for severe pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. Conclusions Incidence of pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy is related to hypoproteinemia before operation,it is needed to improve the nutritional status by nutrition treatment for reducing postoperative pancreatic fistula.If patient with malignancy has postoperative pancreatic fistula,it is likely to be severe pancreatic fistula.
