  Background: Delayed Post Pancreatectomy Hemorrhage (DPPH) is a devastating complication of pancreatic surgery, with a mortality rate approaching 50%. Clinical predictors and an effective management modality could improve patient outcome, but currently are not fully established. Aim: To define clinical predictors, treatment modalities and outcomes of DPPH. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all pancreatic resections conducted in our center during 2008-2013 for delayed PPH. Indications for surgery, operative and post-operative course were reviewed. Methods implied for bleeding control and overall outcome are reported here. Results: Of 403 pancreatic resections performed between 2008-2013, we report 10 cases of severe DPPH (2.5%). Mortality rate was 50%, which yielded 50 % of the overall (90 days) mortality in this cohort. In all cases, pancreatic fistula, sepsis and sentinel bleeding.. View More»
