Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectives of enteral nutrition in the
treatment of pancreatic fistulas. The ratio of pancreatic fistula closure after 30 days is
selected as the primary outcome measure with the null hypothesis assuming that enteral
nutrition provides better results than parenteral nutrition as far as the closure ratio, time
to closure and treatment-related complications are concerned.
