Objective To summarize the prevention method for pancreatic fistula following pancreaticoduodenec-tomy. Method Literatures related to the prevention methods for postoperative pancreatic fistula at home and abroad in recent years were retrieved and summarized. Results The pancreatic fistula was a common complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy. It was mainly caused by preoperative continuous high jaundice, selection of intraoperative anastomosis, and early postoperative pancreatic juice secretion. Trypsinogen was activated by alkaline intestinal juice and then the nearby tissue was digested. Pancreatic juice flowed into abdominal cavity to digest the tissue, then caused serious complications or even death. Through the prevention of drugs, preoperative biliary drainage and intraoperative anastomosis, etc., the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula was slightly decreased. Conclusion The prevention for postoperative pancreatic fistula is an integrated process, and it needs to be ran through the whole perioperative period.
