Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF) is the most common complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Sometimes POPF is associated with biliary fistula(BF), or "mixed" fistula. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the severity of the fistulae, when present, is decreased with an external biliary stent in place.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

n this single-center study we analyze patients who underwent elective PD from January\_2014 to December\_2017. Patients are divided into two groups: standard PD (ST-PD)vs PD with external biliary stent(PD-BS). Demographic, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables will be analyze, including complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and those specific to pancreatic surgeries, and mortality rates within 90 days of operation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

standard PD (ST-PD)

Pancreacoduodenectomy with pancreatic-enteric reconstruction and standard hepaticojejunostomy

No interventions assigned to this group

PD with external biliary stent(PD-BS)

Pancreacoduodenectomy with pancreatic-enteric reconstruction and hepaticojejunostomy with external biliary stent for externalization of bile fluid

External biliary stent

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The biliary stent consisted of a multi-perforated, natural rubber tube, measuring 3.5 mm in diameter, that we placed transanastomotically, with exteriorization sited at 20 cm utilizing the Witzel jejunostomy approach
