Pancreatic Fistula Repair is a surgery performed to treat abnormal connections, or fistulas, that form between the pancreas and other organs or tissues. These fistulas may result from trauma, surgery, or pancreatitis, leading to leakage of pancreatic fluid.

The procedure involves surgically closing the fistula, repairing any damaged tissue, and ensuring that the pancreatic duct remains functional. Depending on the severity of the fistula, the surgery may be performed through an open approach or laparoscopically.

Postoperative care includes monitoring for signs of infection, managing fluid drainage, and providing nutritional support. In some cases, a drain may be placed to help remove any fluid buildup.

Pancreatic fistula repair is essential to prevent complications such as infection, malnutrition, and organ damage, improving the patient’s recovery and long-term health.
