What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common complication following cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (DPC) and is a key determinant of severe postoperative morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous trials aimed at reducing POPF incidence, it remains high, ranging between 3% and 45%. The exact pathophysiology of pancreatic fistulas is not fully understood, but studies suggest that they may be related to pancreatic hypoperfusion after surgery, leading to ischemia, inflammation, pancreatitis, and failure of pancreatic anastomosis. Few studies focus on improving anastomotic failure through pancreatic perfusion, though ensuring adequate blood supply to the pancreas has shown promise in reducing failure rates. Indocyanine Green (ICG) has been widely used in various surgical fields to assess organ perfusion, including gastrointestinal, plastic, neuro, hepatic, and vascular surgerie
