From determinar.ia.br - Determine suas informações
A pancreaticoduodenal fistula is an abnormal connection between the pancreas and the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). This connection allows pancreatic fluid, which contains digestive enzymes, to leak into the duodenum or surrounding areas. These fistulas can arise from various causes, including surgery (as a postsurgical complication), pancreatitis, or trauma. Pancreaticoduodenal fistulas can lead to complications like abscesses, delayed gastric emptying, sepsis, and even organ failure.
