Asian Journal of Medicine and Health · pp. 1–5 · Published 5 Mar 2018
10.9734/AJMAH/2018/39992Abstract
Pancreatic fistula is one of the complications of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), chronic pancreatitis, trauma, surgery, and malignancy. Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) is one of the potential complications, however, not as well known. The approach to DPDS is clinically different than the approach to a simple pancreatic fistula, with unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to minimize morbidity and facilitate a smooth recovery. The aim of this mini-review is to provide clinicians with the most recent updates regarding early detection and to discuss the changing models for its management and methods for treating appropriate pathways.
