Q

grades panc leaks = 3x serum amylase POD3

A

former grade A postoperative pancreatic fistula is now redefined and called a biochemical leak, because it has no clinical importance and is no longer referred to as a true pancreatic fistula

grade B fistula requires a change in postoperative management. Drains are either left in place for more than 3 weeks or repositioned through endoscopic or percutaneous procedures, but without evidence of end-organ failure or need for reoperation.

grade C postoperative pancreatic fistula refers to a postoperative pancreatic fistula that requires reoperation or leads to single or multiple organ failure and/or mortality attributable to the fistula.
