Pancreatic Volumetric Assessment as a Predictor of New-Onset Diabetes Following Distal Pancreatectomy

Abstract

Key determinants of postoperative glycemic control include preoperative functional reserve of the endocrine pancreas and the volume reduction of pancreatic parenchyma. Our findings enable reliable preoperative evaluation of the risk of postoperative diabetes and appropriate postoperative surveillance, which is helpful for early intervention in high risk patients.
