From: Major pancreatic resections: normal postoperative findings and complications
Postoperative collections (a, b). a Axial CT image shows a homogeneous fluid collection with a thin wall at the level of the resection margin and in the surgical bed (*) after a distal pancreatectomy. The head of the pancreas (p) is visualised. b An inhomogeneous necrotic fluid collection (*) with fat globules inside (white arrow) is visible within the left anterior pararenal fascia. These findings are consistent with a necrotic collection with steatonecrosis due to a postoperative pancreatitis after a Whipple procedure
