New drain test may spot pancreatic leaks faster
NCT ID NCT02784990
First seen Feb 06, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring a pancreatic enzyme called lipase in surgical drains can help doctors detect pancreatic fistula earlier and more accurately than the current standard test (amylase). Researchers collected drain fluid and blood samples from 770 adults who had pancreatic surgery. The goal was to see if lipase levels could better predict which patients would develop a fistula with serious symptoms within 30 days after surgery.
