Background Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major complication after pancreatic surgery and results from an impaired healing of the pancreatic enteric anastomosis. Whether perioperative hemodynamic fluid management aiming to provide an adequate tissue perfusion could influence the occurrence of POPF is unknown. Serum lactate level is a well-recognized marker of decreased tissue perfusion and is known to be associated with higher morbidity and mortality in various postoperative settings. We aimed to determine in a retrospective high-volume center’s cohort whether postoperative hyperlactatemia could predict POPF occurrence.
