BACKGROUND: @entity788 ( @entity788 ) remains a major cause of postoperative morbidity in @entity1 undergoing pancreatic resection. AIM: To identify risk factors related to @entity3472 in @entity1 undergoing distal pancreatectomy (DP). METHODS: 35 @entity1 underwent DP during a 10-year period (2000- 2009). Informations regarding diagnosis, operative details, and perioperative morbidity and mortality were collected. Nine risk factors were examined. RESULTS: Indications for DP included primary @entity660 (n=23; 66 %) and @entity660 (n = 12; 34 %). Postoperative morbidity rate was 43 % and none @entity1 died. No @entity1 required a reoperation. @entity3472 was occurred in 11 @entity1 (31 %). On univariate analysis, incidence of @entity3472 rate was not significantly associated with these risk factors: pathology, use of prophylactic octreotide therapy, concomitant splenectomy, additional procedures, intra @entity548 and texture of @entity788 . We observed significant statistical difference between male and female, 47 % of females experienced a @entity3472 , while 17 % males developed a pancreatic leakage (p =0.05). The role of the technique of @entity788 closure in the development of @entity788 remains unclear because of the few number of @entity1 on who we used stapler. CONCLUSION: The rate of @entity3472 after left pancreatectomy is 31 %. The female was identified as a risk factor for occurrence of @entity3472 after left pancreatectomy. The role implicated in the use of a mechanical claw for the treatment of @entity788 requires a larger number of @entity1 to conclude. The body mass index has not been studied in our series.
