Four patients presented with ascites, one patient presented with ascites and bilateral pleural effusion and the sixth patient presented with left-sided pleural effusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In 22 patients the fistula was into the peritoneal cavity and they presented with pancreatic ascites. In 7 patients the fistula tracked up through the mediastinum into a pleural cavity, and they presented with pancreatic pleural effusions. [doi.org]

• Eikenella

  We present a case of a right perirenal Eikenella corrodens abscess in a patient with chronic pancreatitis and poor dental hygiene. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In case of conservative treatment failure, operative treatment is indicated, but this has significantly higher percentage of morbidity and mortality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This treatment is continued for 2–3 weeks, and the patient is observed for improvement. If no improvement is seen, the patient may receive endoscopic or surgical treatment. [en.wikipedia.org]

It is important to focus on WBC count from POD 1, which can be great help to distinguish the high-risk patients and to improve the prognosis after surgery. After PD and PPPD, patients with increases of WBC count are likely to develop grade B-C. [kjco.org]

Treatment approaches PJA disconnection and drainage procedures during surgical revision after PD in cases of PP are usually insufficient and do not lead to a better prognosis. [hbsn.amegroups.com]

Maintaining a high index of suspicion is essential for the etiologic diagnosis of pancreatic pleural fistula in children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The results indicate a significant relationship between etiology of the fistula and treatment effect. [ingentaconnect.com]

EPIDEMIOLOGY POPF commonly occur following either PD or distal pancreatectomy (DP). Fistulae after PD The incidence ranges from 0-24% with an average fistula rate of 12.9% following PD [ 4 ]. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

This largely relates to a poor understanding of the pathophysiology of this complication. POP is now emerging as a possible critical factor in the underlying pathophysiology of POPF. [dovepress.com]

The aim of this study was to present a technique of external drainage of monolayer pancreaticojejunostomy for prevention of POPF. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prediction and prevention of POPF remains an area of debate with several questions yet to be firmly addressed with solid answers. [bora.uib.no]
