Key clinical point: Postoperative pancreas remnant volume was associated with the development of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) after pancreatic resection.
Major finding: EPI, requiring pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, developed in 50% of patients at 1-year postpancreatectomy. The incidence of EPI was higher in patients receiving Whipple vs. distal pancreatectomy (66% vs. 21%; P = .004). The only factor associated with EPI development was postoperative remnant pancreas volume (odds ratio, 0.93; 95% confidence interval, 0.88-0.98; P less than .01).
Study details: This study included 68 patients who underwent pancreatectomy (distal, n=23; pancreaticoduodenectomy, n=45) at a single institution between 2017 and 2018.
Disclosures: No source of funding was identified.
