  • Title: [Treatment of pancreatic fistulas with somatostatin].
    Author: Berthet B, Delaitre P, Berdah S, Assadourian R.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1995 May; 132(5):225-8. PubMed ID: 7642727.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of pancreatic fistula were treated with somatostatin. Two cases occurred after caudal pancreatectomy and the other 2 after duodenopancreatectomy. Somatostatin rapidly reduced fistula flow by 50% 48 hours after treatment. The shorter hospital stay and reduced morbidity underline the importance of somatostatin in the treatment of pancreatic fistulae.
