Giovanni Marchegiani: Can we make a soft pancreas harder to reduce POPF?

Giovanni Marchegiani, Academic surgeon at Padova University Hospital, shared a post on X about a recent paper by Leonoor Wismans et al. published in British Journal of Surgery:

“Can we make a soft pancreas harder to reduce POPF?!

Preoperative stereotactic radiotherapy on 38 high-risk patients.

Increased firmness obtained … but POPF rate was same.

Which is your best mitigation tool?!”

“Preoperative stereotactic radiotherapy to prevent pancreatic fistula in high-risk patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (FIBROPANC): prospective multicentre phase II single-arm trial”

Authors: Leonoor Wismans, Tessa Hendriks, Annelie Suurmeijer, Casper van Eijck, Marc Besselink et al.
