Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and readmission remain the significant sources of morbidity after distal pancreatectomy (DP). We describe a technique of drainage and postoperation management to prevent severe POPF and readmission. ⋯ We conclude that our technique of drainage and postoperation management is associated with a low incidence of severe POPF and readmission. Continued investigation of this technique is warranted.
