Conclusion
Fluid collections that arise in the context of acute pancreatitis generally regress under conservative treatment
and do not require interventional treatment in most
cases. They may require endoscopic or surgical treatment when they fulfil the morphological criteria of
infected (walled- off ) necrosis, when they represent
complication- causing or complication- prone pseudocysts, or when they precipitate abdominal compartment
syndrome. As supported by the results of the Dutch
POINTER trial, an initial conservative approach is

Introduction
A pancreatic fistula is defined as a leakage of pancreatic
juice as a result of disruption of pancreatic ducts or
parenchyma. During severe acute necrotizing
pancreatitis—
associated consequences— the management of local
complications plays a major role. Local complications
include infected necrosis, and pancreatic absesses
which cause destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma
and eventually small or larger ducts, leading to a leakage of
pancreatic enzyme- rich fluid. This can either provoke the
formation of pseudocysts, or—
surrounding structures— the onset of a fistula. In most
cases parenchyma or duct leakages are self- limiting and
can be covered by the surrounding organs, reabsorbed by
the serosa, or encapsuled by a fibrous pseudowall with the
sequela of a pseudocyst [1]. In case of acute fistulaassociated complications, including arrosional bleeding or
bowel perforation, immediate interventional and surgical
treatment is required, including angiographic bleeding
localization and management (i.e., stent placement in the
arroded vessel) or emergency surgery. However, if
pancreatic fistula does not cause acute complications, a
continous leakage may occur and require therapy that
needs to be adapted to the site and clinical symptomatology
of the fistula. In this context, internal fistulas to the
gastrointestinal tract, bronchi, pleural, mediastinal space,
pericardium, and other organs [2–4] have to be
differentiated from external— cutaneous— fistulas. As
internal fistulas are often clinically asymptomatic, they are
more difficult to diagnose and may not immediately be
detected[5]. By contrast, external fistulas are more often
observed, and can be easily diagnosed through the analysis
of pancreatic enzyme content in the fluid[5,6].

Pathogenesis andClassification
Pathogenesis
The pathogenesis of pancreatic fistulas is multifactorial
and seems to differ according to the site of origin of the
fistula and to the timebasis of the necrotizing process in the pancreas, the
peripancreatic fat and soft tissue as well as the
retroperitoneal space during severe acute pancreatitis, a
widespread induction of autodigestion, with interaction
between pancreatic exocrine enzymes and inflammatory
mediators [7]. Pancreatic parenchyma necrosis is
understood as a consequence of oxidative stress and
potential calcium overload, leading to a combination of
necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis and autophagy, in which
damage-
associated molecular pattern molecules
(DAMP) play a central role. Microvascular perfusion
failure, as a consequence of local thrombosis and
inflammation, contributes to formation of necrosis.
Following parenchyma necrosis, proteases and the
entire spectrum of all other activated pancreatic
enzymes are released into the retroperitoneum and an
autodigestive process is initiated. Local leukocyte
recruitment and further activation of inflammation
favor the necrotizing process throughout the
peripancreatic region and the retroperitoneum, toward
the mesocolon, small bowel mesentery, and paracolic
retroperitonal gutters. The autodigestive process may
extend to the skin, bowel, or any other organs. In
addition, the development of colonic fistulas during
acute pancreatitis can be a consequence of colonic wall
necrosis due to venous ischemia (e.g., following
mesenteric thrombosis) or arterial infarction as a
consequence of systemic hemodynamic instability in
point when it occurs. On the

the hyperacute phase. In the end, iatrogenic fistula can
be produced during intraoperative manipulation or
endoscopic treatment.
Classification
Pancreatitis- associated fistula can be defined as an abnormal communication between the ductal pancreatic systems, and other spaces or organs due to the leakage of
pancreatic secretions from damaged pancreatic ducts[8].
In contrast to postoperative pancreatic fistulas, there is
no grading system for fistulas associated to acute pancreatitis[9]. Pancreatitis- associated fistulas can be classified into internal and external fistulas. If their orifice is
located intracorporally— regardless of the organ or structure affected— they are classified as internal fistulas; in
case of a connection to the skin, the fistula is defined as
external. External fistulas can be classified as low- or
high- output fistulas, according to the daily cutoff of
200 mL[10]. Further characterization of fistulas includes
description as simple (straight channel from the pancreas
toward the skin or another organ) or complex (multiple
channels and tracts to different organs or structures).
Moreover, the fluid can be characterized as clear pure
pancreatic juice (due to external drainage of a pseudocyst
communicating with the pancreatic duct) or as mixed
(consisting of pancreatic juice in combination with gastrointestinal secretions or bile). In the latter case, the pancreatic juice might be activated by enterokinase, leading
to proteolytic effects of the fluid and a more severe injury.
Finally, the unfortunate event of disruption of the main
duct can give rise to a persistent pancreatic fistula, in the
so- called “disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome”[11].
Diagnosis
External Fistulas
The vast majority of external fistulas form along the tract
of interventional or surgically placed drainages that are
inserted to treat the complications of pancreatic necrosis.
They can easily be recognized by their typical rich content
of amylase and lipase. As mentioned earlier, there is no
standard defined cutoff for the increase in pancreatic
enzyme, amount of fluid, or duration of secretion. To differentiate between simple and complex fistulas radiological imaging should be performed. Conventional
fistulography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are
the most described[12–15]. CT scan is the gold standard
in the diagnosis and classification of acute pancreatitis
and its complications, namely abscesses, pseudocysts, and
walled- off infected necrosis[8]. However, CT scan shows
a lower accuracy in fistula detection compared with MRI/
MRCP imaging. Conventional fistulography is useful
to determine potential connections to other organs
(i.e., colon), and ERCP has the advantage of providing
simultaneous diagnostic and therapeutic possibility,
namely the placement of a pancreatic stent in cases of
pancreatic duct disruption (Fig.36.1).
Internal Fistulas
Internal pancreatic fistulas are mostly asymptomatic,
and may be difficult to recognize. In case of persisting
ascites and/or a pleural effusion an internal fistula should
be ruled out. In rare cases also acute mediastinitis arising
from a pancreato- me diastinal fistula can be observed[16].
Unfortunately, unrecognized internal fistulas can lead to
life- threatening conditions, if the activation of pancreatic
enzymes leads to arrosional bleeding or bowel perforation[17]. Once an internal fistula is suspected, further
imaging work- up needs to be tempestively done. CT
scan remains the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment, and the biochemical analysis of collected fluid can
confirm the suspected diagnosis[18,19]. For internal fistulas, MRCP or ERCP can be useful for the diagnosis and
as well as ERCP for ultimate treatment[20].
Surgical Treatment
The treatment of pancreatits associated fistulas refers
mainly to the international guidelines for the management of severe acute pancreatitis[8,21–24]. Supportive
care management, namely adequate fluid resuscitation,
pain control, nutritional support, and antibiotic treatment in cases of infected necrosis are the recommended
strategies. In cases of failure of the conservative treatment, either due to organ compression from a fluid collection, or to persistent systemic infection, the so- called
“step- up approach” is recommended, involving first of all
an endoscopic attempt, followed by radiologic effort and,
in case of failure of the first two, leading to a surgical
minimally invasive or open intervention[25].
Open surgery in acute pancreatitis is no longer a gold
standard in acute pancreatitis and should be cautiously
evaluated just for those patients in whom all other
options were not successful. However, a short overview
on classical surgical approaches is mandatory [26]. The
historically used open surgical techniques are the necrosectomy combined with open packing[27], the planned
staged relaparotomies with repeated lavage [28], the
placement of “kissing- drains” in the lesser sac and closed
continuous lavage[29,30], and the closed packing [31],
with mortality rates of up to 15% in referral centers [27,32–34]. In the first two techniques several
consequent re- laparotomies are mandatory in order to
achieve a satisfactory debridement of necrotic tissues.

necrotizing pancreatitis. Endoscopic

contrast medium extravasation (white

The last two, conversely, allow a progressive and continuous lavage of the necrotic region, without the need of
subsequent surgeries. As the mortality rate and the risk
of following injuries increases with the number of relaparotomies, the last two techniques should be preferred.
Drain Management
Once a pancreatitis- associated fistula is diagnosed, the
amount and duration of drain in place are related to the
size of the involved duct (main duct or branches of first,
second, or third order), the localization of duct rupture
(head, body, or tail of the pancreas), and the functionality
of the sphincter of Oddi. In the acute phase of the disease, edema or spasm of the sphincter of the papilla may
impair outflow, leading to increased pressure within the
ductal system and subsequent rupture of the duct or
maintenance of the outlet via the fistula. Once outflow
via the papilla is restored, secondary to resolution of
either the edema or spasm, spontaneous healing of the
fistula can be observed in most cases.
Management ofInternal Fistulas
Most fistulas (80–100%) close spontaneously within
2–3 months [35]. Failure to heal is mainly due to larger
defects of the pancreatic duct system, resulting in highvolume output. Endoscopic trangastric drainage, or surgical treatments should be considered. The surgical approach
to internal fistulas focuses mainly on treatment of the
underlying disease, as once infected necrosis is treated
adequately, internal fistulas will close rapidly [36,37]. As
suggested in international guidelines, the surgical approach
is indicated only after failure of all conservative strategies
and should be deferred at least for 4weeks after the onset
of acute pancreatitis.
The choice of treatment depends on the characteristics of the patient and the fistula, and comprises several
drainage techniques. Endoscopic transmural drainage
and percutaneous drainage (Fig.36.2) have become the
procedures of choice in cases of internal fistula with
symptomatic pseudocyst formation [38]. Furthermore,
endoscopic sphincterotomy with or without transpapillary stent placement facilitates the drainage of pancreatic
juice into the duodenum and can consequently release
pressure from the disruption site. This accelerates the
healing and may even allow the closure of partially disrupted pancreatic ducts within a median interval of
10 days [39
-41]. In case of severe damage and disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome endoscopic treatment
cannot be sufficient. An early surgical treatment may be
considered after initial drainage of a fluid collection by
endoscopic therapy. Surgical treatment (i.e., central pancreatectomy or distal pancreatectomy) has a long-
term
success rate of approximately 90%; however, atrophy of
the pancreatic gland is a frequent and early complication
after disrupted duct syndrome, leading to chronic pancreatits and diabetes in up to 30% of cases[42].
Management ofExternal Fistulas
Simple fistulas do not necessarily lead to complications;
therefore, a conservative management should be pursued. Complex fistulas are more likely to develop

Nutritional Support
Nutritional support care can be added to improve not
only healing of a fistula but also patients’ general performance status, which is often reduced after acute pancreatitis. If chosen, the enteral route should be preferred in
all phases of the disease. A total parenteral nutrition
regimen should only be considered if the enteral route is
not tolerated or if the enteral feeding alone cannot
achieve the expected nutritional daily requirements.
When parenteral nutrition is indicated, a glutamine supplement should be administered, at 0.20 g/kg per day of
L- glutamine. Otherwise, there is no role for immunonutrition in pancreatitis- associated fistula[44].
According to international nutritional guidelines, pancreatic enzymes should not be generally supplemented,
except in patients with obvious pancreatic exocrine
insufficiency. A debatable aspect in the management of
internal fistula is the role of somatostatin analogs. No
clear benefit of octreotide has been demonstrated[45],
with the exception of the pancreaticopleural fistula,
where it has been shown to reduce the output and
decrease the time to fistula closure[46].
dangerous complications because of high risk of free
activation of pancreatic enzymes in the abdominal cavity
and digest surrounding structures. The aim of surgical
therapy of external pancreatic fistulas is to redirect the
drainage into the intestinal tract[43]. The surgical procedure chosen is based on the site of the fistula, the
thickness and nature of the fistula tract, as well as the
texture of the pancreatic tissue. If the fistula tract is
located on the right side of the body of the pancreas or
even in the head, resection should be avoided and internal drainage into a Roux- en- Y jejunal loop is preferred[6,43]. For persisting fistulas located in the body or
tail of the pancreas, central or distal pancreatetomies are
suitable procedures to remove the fistula-
bearing part of
the pancreas[24]. Crucial for surgical treatment of external pancreatic fistula is the timing of the procedure.
Formal pancreatic resections should be avoided in the
early phase of fistula occurrence, as fistulas may spontaneusly close even 6months after an acute episode.

Conclusions
Pancreatic fistulas are common sequelae following acute
pancreatitis and, in most cases, self- limiting processes.
Pancreatic fistulas can occur spontaneously or be the consequence of interventions required to manage infected
walled- off necrosis in severe acute pancreatitis. The
majority of fistulas present with low output and tend to
close spontaneously within a few months. For this reason,
a conservative approach is recommended. After failure of
the conservative treatment, a step- up approach is the gold
standard, including a wide range of minimally invasive
therapeutic options. Endoscopic and percutaneous interventions should be preferred, as surgeryremains high even at referral centers. The surgical option
remains the ultimate treatment when the endoscopic and
percutaneous intervention are not successful. The type
and extent of resection must be considered and tailored
for each case. Surgery should be delayed by at least
4–6weeks following the onset of an acute episode.

preexisting signs of subclinical chronic pancreatitis
may be found in terms of fibrosis or calcifications and
Most patients with acute pancreatitis recover completely
without any further symptoms or morphological alterations within days or weeks after discharge. This observation was described in the original definition of acute
pancreatitis by the Consensus Symposium 1963 in
Marseille[1]. However, recent reports on long- term outcome after acute pancreatitis show growing evidence
that there is a certain risk for late pancreatitis- associated
complications even after mild clinical courses[2–5].
Functional impairments can occur immediately or
even years after sustaining acute pancreatitis[2,3,5–8],
specifically loss of endocrine function resulting in diabetes mellitus type 3 or exocrine insufficiency with the
need for pancreatic enzymes substitution, have been
described in numerous studies [2,9–11]. Etiology or
severity of the index episode are not clearly associated
with the overall risk for an impairment of pancreatic
function. In addition, episodes of pain with a considerable impact on quality of life can occur at any point of
time after the initial event of acute pancreatitis. These
possibly recurrent pain sensations bear a high risk for
chronification and may be associated with recurrent
pancreatitis; there is also a certain overlap with clinical
courses of chronic pancreatitis[2,5,12,13]. This latter
correlation has been examined in several recent publications[2–5,14–20]. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the primary episode of acute pancreatitis
as a symptom of a chronic disease and chronic pancreatitis developing as a long-
term consequence of pancreatitis. Morphological characteristics (i.e., those found in
cross- sectional imaging at the initial episode of
pancreatitis) can be useful for this differentiation as
can be clearly distinguished from typical signs of newonset acute pancreatitis.
In contrast to chronic pancreatitis, little is known
about histomorphologic pathways and alterations of
recurrent acute pancreatitis. One hypothesis is the socalled necrosis–fibrosis sequence [21], which suggests
that acute inflammatory changes after an initial and
acute damage of the pancreas result in mesenchymal cell
activation with various patterns of subsequent fibrosis
development and obstruction of pancreatic ducts.
Another model is based on a “sentinel acute pancreatitis
event (SAPE),” postulating a long- lasting intrapancreatic
activation of immunomodulatory and stellate cells during the index episode. These alterations lead to hypersensitivity of the pancreas when responding to potential
stimuli, resulting in recurrent attacks of acute and eventually chronic pancreatitis[22]. Despite these hypotheses, the possible pathophysiologic link between acute
and chronic pancreatitis remains controversial and is not
well understood[23].
Because there are no follow- up guidelines for clinical
examinations and imaging after acute pancreatitis and
histopathologic findings for such patients are rare due to
the infrequent need for operations with respective tissue
harvesting, the frequency of such alterations is unknown.
In available cross- sectional imaging, alterations of the
pancreatic duct, parenchyma, or surrounding areas (i.e.,
formation of pseudocysts or fluid collections) can be
observed during both short- and long- term courses.
These morphological findings may be correlated with
the severity of the first attack and the type of treatment,
in particular interventional or surgical necrosectomy.

Their extent and the underlying initial etiology of the
primary acute pancreatitis episode determine clinical
outcome patterns. In alcohol- related acute pancreatitis a
recurrent and eventually chronic course is observed
more often than it is in a biliary genesis of the disease[13,15,19,20]. This fact underlines the importance
of avoiding further exposure to risk factors such as alcohol and nicotine as a basic precaution following a first
pancreatitis episode [14,24,25]. Furthermore, patient
education can be regarded as a simple method to reduce
the lifelong risk of recurrence and associated healthcare
costs[20,24]. Follow- up examinations should therefore
address the above- mentioned topics and should include
clinical and laboratory as well as imaging examinations,
when necessary. This chapter gives an overview of the
long- term sequelae of acute pancreatitis with regard to
risk factors, diagnosis, and management.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for long- term complications of acute pancreatitis have been examined in several cohort studies in
recent years[4,5,7,14]. With regard to recurrent episodes
of acute pancreatitis, a recent meta- analysis including
nearly 8500 patients showed an overall risk of 22% with a
nearly twofold increase in alcoholic etiology (38%) and a
lower risk for biliary etiology (17%)[4]. With regard to
biliary etiology, early removal of the gallbladder after the
index episode of pancreatitis reduces the risk of recurrence[5,14]. In nonbiliary etiology, persistence of smoking and alcohol consumption are well- documented risk
factors for both recurrent acute episodes as well as progression of primary acute to chronic pancreatitis in the
long term [5,7,14]. Nevertheless, some authors report
experience with patients who show a progression to
chronic pancreatitis despite stopping consumption of
alcohol and nicotine[14,15]. In addition, male patients
seem to have a higher risk of progression to chronic pancreatitis, even when lifestyleexcluded [4]. Risk factors for functional failure after
acute pancreatitis include preceding necrosectomy,
which leads to both exocrine and endocrine insufficiency
due to the procedure- associated loss of tissue itself and
the disease- specific damage to the remaining tissue[5,26,27]. Again, the risk for developing progressive
pancreatic dysfunction and diabetes mellitus or exocrine
dysfunction is increased in men[4,6]. Moreover, a subset
of patients may also have unrecognized genetic risk
alterations leading to increased risk of progressive pancreatic failure and chronic pancreatitis through an effect
on trypsinogen activation [28]. Tables 37.1 and 37.2
summarize studies on patterns and risk factors for longterm sequelae after acute pancreatitis.
associated risk factors are
Endocrine Pancreatic Dysfunction
Hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes
mellitus occur frequently as a consequence of acute pancreatitis and have therefore been investigated as primary
or secondary endpoints of several large studies on the loss
of pancreatic function on long- term follow- up. A recent
review analysed 34 studies focusing on diabetes mellitus
after acute pancreatitis[3]. The authors concluded that
especially pancreatic diabetes mellitus (type III) and
impaired glucose metabolism after acute pancreatitis are
increasingly recognized clinical findings requiring more
detailed research on it as the published data are inconsistent. Of interest, one of two included meta- analyses had
examined 24 prospective studies published between 1968
and 2009, and revealed that nearly 40% of patients showed
a prediabetic metabolic situation or a full clinical manifestation of diabetes mellitus[2]. Within 12months after
the index episode of acute pancreatitis the prevalences of
hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus were 19% and 15%,
respectively. After a 5for diabetes mellitus showed a twofold increase compared with the prevalence after 12 months. A Dutch
cohort study on 669 patients described a new onset of
diabetes mellitus in 20% of the patients during a median
follow- up time of 57months[7]. These data are consistent with findings of a Taiwanese study, which showed a
comparable twofold increase of diabetes risk after 10
years in nearly 3000 acute pancreatitis patients, regardless of the severity of the initial course of the disease[6].
In severe courses characterized by extensive parenchyma necrosis and the need for necrosectomy, the correlation between loss of tissue and function seems to
provide an explanation for these observations, especially
when the body and tail of the pancreas are affected.
Decay of a considerable amount of islets predisposes for
functional deterioration and 15–30% of patients undergoing extensive necrosectomy show insulin- dependency
soon after recovery[5]. This is comparable to outcomes
following distal pancreatectomy for other indications,
with a rate of postoperative diabetes mellitus of approximately 10%[30–32], and underlines the relevance of the
pancreatic body and tail for the endocrine function of
the gland due to the pronounced location of islet cells in
these segments of the pancreas. In contrast, the pathophysiologic explanation for mild episodes of acute pancreatitis resulting in endocrine insufficiency and an
increased risk of diabetes mellitus remains unclear.
