About this trial
This prospective, observational study evaluates the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) following distal pancreatectomy (DP) using the AEON™ Endostapler. The study involves 110 patients undergoing DP and assesses primary outcomes based on the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) classification, alongside secondary perioperative parameters. The findings aim to optimize surgical techniques, reduce complications, and improve healthcare outcomes.
