Postoperative elevation of C‐reactive protein levels and high drain fluid amylase output are strong predictors of pancreatic fistulas after distal pancreatectomy

The aim of the present study was to identify the predictors of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP).
