Utility of fistula risk score in assessing the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula occurrence and other significant complications after different types of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor resections.

Soft pancreatic texture, intraoperative blood loss of >700 mL, and a WDD of ≤3 mm are risk factors for clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistula. FRS may be applied not only in PDs but also in distal pancreatectomies. Unfortunately, it is not used in total pancreatic resections and enucleations since FRS takes into account the WDD.
