POSITS

Effect of intraoperative pancreatic parenchymal compression on the prevention of postoperative pancreatic fistula in left pancreatic resection

Clinical picture

Tumours or cysts of the pancreatic tail

Intervention

Tissue clamping versus no tissue clamping before removal of the pancreatic tail

Aim
