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 andClassification
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.

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 ofInternal 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 4weeks 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 ofExternal 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 6months 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 4–6weeks 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.

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 12months 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 57months[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.
