Popis: Leaking pancreatic fluid can contribute to postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), which can complicate pancreatic surgery. Surgeons lack reliable tools to identify pancreatic leaks, so a novel hydrogel indicator called SmartPAN was developed for intraoperative application. In this preclinical efficacy assessment study, SmartPAN was capable of detecting sites associated with biochemical leak and POPF-related symptoms, thereby guiding effective closure. Thus, SmartPAN may help to reduce POPF development in upcoming clinical trials.
