Somatostatin Prevent Post-operation Pancreatic Fistula in Intermediate Risk Patients After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Summary

This study is designed to assess the preventive effects of somatostatin on post-operation pancreatic fistula in intermediate risk patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients assigned into the treatment group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) in addition to conventional treatments (including infection prevention, nutrition support and acid suppression therapy, etc.).The pancreatic fistula incidence will be monitored within 30 days after operation.
