PERT
for Pancreatic Insufficiency
After pancreas surgery, patients may develop pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI). PEI can be treated with oral pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). However, the diagnosis of PEI is difficult and the guidelines about when to start PERT after pancreas surgery are conflicting. This pilot study aims to determine the feasibility of implementing a large-scale clinical trial to definitively evaluate if starting PERT immediately after surgery can improve outcomes in patients undergoing pancreas surgery.
