Purpose: identification of the possibilities of computer tomography with contrast enhancement in evaluated of the degree of fibrosis and number of acinar structures in the pancreatic parenchyma at the preoperative period to predict the development of postoperative complications. Material and methods: In the department of abdominal surgery in 2016-2019, 196 pancreatoduodenal resections were performed. Retrospectively selected group of patients (49). Patients were divided into 2 groups according with the postoperative period. The postoperative period was uncomplicated in 41 (84%) cases. Сlinically significant pancreatic fistula was in 8 (16%) cases. According to preoperative computed tomography with contrast enhancement, we evaluated: the structure of the pancreas; the density of the pancreas in the native phase of the scan (HU), parenchyma accumulation coefficient; parenchyma accumulation coefficient in the venous phase; parenchyma accumulation coefficient in the excretory phase; coefficient of relative washout of contrast enhancement of parenchyma. According histological we evaluated the number of fibrosis and acinar, fat cells in the section pancreas. Results: "Soft" structure of the pancreas (r=0,747, p=0,000), parenchyma accumulation coefficient (r=0,631, p=0,000), the density of the pancreas in the native phase of the scan (r=0,568, p=0,000) positively correlated with complicated postoperative period and the number of acinar cells. Parenchyma accumulation coefficient in the excretory phase (r=0,562, p=0,000) positively correlated with the fibrosis pancreas and in the negatively correlated with the complicated postoperative period. The risk of developing pancreatic fistula is 3 times higher with values parenchyma accumulation coefficient greater than 1, sensitivity 75%, specificity 73%. The risk of developing pancreatic fistula is 3 times higher with values parenchyma accumulation coefficient in the excretory phase less than 0.45, sensitivity 75%, specificity 63%. Conclusions: computed tomography with contrast enhancement allows the structure p ancreas, the number of fibrosis and acinar cell s at the preoperative period to pick out the high-risk patient group to the development of postoperative complications.
