Abstract Background The optimal type of operative drainage following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains unclear. Our objective is to investigate risk associated with closed drainage techniques (passive [gravity] vs. suction) after PD. Methods We assessed operative drainage techniques utilized in patients undergoing PD in the ACS-NSQIP pancreas-targeted database from 2016 to 2018. Using multivariable logistic regression to adjust for characteristics of the patient, procedure, and pancreas, we examined the association between use of gravity drainage and postoperative outcomes. Results We identified 9665 patients with drains following PD from 2016 to 2018, of which 12.7% received gravity drainage. 61.0% had a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma or pancreatitis, 26.5% had a duct <3 mm, and 43.5% had a soft or intermediate gland. After multivariable adjustment, gravity drainage was associated with decreased rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (odds ratio [OR] 0.779, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.653–0.930, p=0.006), delayed gastric emptying (OR 0.830, 95% CI 0.693–0.988, p=0.036), superficial SSI (OR 0.741, 95% CI 0.572–0.959, p=0.023), organ space SSI (OR 0.791, 95% CI 0.658–0.951, p=0.012), and readmission (OR 0.807, 95% CI 0.679–0.958, p=0.014) following PD. Conclusions Gravity drainage is independently associated with decreased rates of CR-POPF, DGE, SSI, and readmission following PD. Additional prospective research is necessary to better understand the preferred drainage technique following PD.

Abstract Background We aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the following procedures after pancreaticoduodenectomy: isolated pancreaticojejunostomy, isolated gastrojejunostomy, and conventional pancreaticojejunostomy. Methods We performed a systematic search of the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov until 1 January 2020. Pooled odds ratios (OR) or weighted mean differences (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using STATA 12.0 statistical software.Results Thirteen studies involving 1942 patients were included in this study. Pooled analysis showed that the major complication and reoperation rates following isolated pancreaticojejunostomy were lower than with conventional pancreaticojejunostomy (OR=0.35, 95% CI: 0.13–0.96, P=0.04 and OR=0.36, 95% CI: 0.15–0.86, p=0.02, respectively), and that isolated pancreaticojejunostomy required longer operation time vs conventional pancreaticojejunostomy (WMD=43.61, 95% CI: 21.64–65.58, P=0.00). Regarding postoperative pancreatic fistula, clinically-relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, clinically-relevant delayed gastric emptying, bile leakage, hemorrhage , reoperation, length of postoperative hospital stay, major complications, overall complications, and mortality, we found no significant differences for either isolated pancreaticojejunostomy versus conventional pancreaticojejunostomy or isolated gastrojejunostomy versus conventional pancreaticojejunostomy. Conclusions This study showed that isolated pancreaticojejunostomy was associated with fewer major complications and a lower reoperation rate, but required longer operation time vs conventional pancreaticojejunostomy. Considering the limitations, high-quality randomized controlled trials are required.

In 2014, ACS-NSQIP® targeted pancreatectomies to improve outcome reporting and risk calculation related to pancreatectomy. At the same time, our department began prospectively collecting data for pancreatectomy in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery® Interactive Audit System (EIAS). The purpose of this study is to compare reported outcomes between two major auditing databases for the same patients undergoing pancreatectomy. The same 171 patients were identified in both databases. Clinical outcomes were then obtained from each database and compared to determine whether reported complication rates were statistically different between auditing databases. A combination of Wilcoxon rank sum and Pearson's chi-squared tests were used to calculate statistical significance. No significant difference was appreciated in captured demographics between EIAS and NSQIP. Significant differences in reported rates for renal dysfunction, postoperative pancreatic fistula, return to the operative room, and urinary tract infection were noted between EIAS and NSQIP. Although significant differences in reported complication rates were demonstrated between EIAS and NSQIP for pancreatectomy, much of the discrepancy is attributable to subtle differences in definitions for postoperative occurrences between the two auditing databases. It is vital for surgeons to understand the exact definition that determines the complication rate for a given database.

Introduction: The perioperative morbidity following pancreas surgery remains high due to various specific complications: postoperative pancreatic fistula, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, and delayed gastric emptying. The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery has defined these complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical applicability, to validate the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery definition, and to evaluate the postoperative morbidity. Methods: Between 2004 and 2014, 769 patients underwent resection. Data were collected in a prospective database. Univariate examination was performed using the χ2-test. Continuous data were tested with the Mann–Whitney U-test. Student’s t-tests and Fisher’s exact tests were performed. Results: A total of 542 patients were included in this study. In all, 91 (16.8%) patients developed postoperative pancreatic fistula, 69 of them clinically relevant grades B and C postoperative pancreatic fistula. Grades B and C postoperative pancreatic fistulas were significantly associated with a longer hospital stay. The postoperative pancreatic fistula grade significantly correlated with re-operation. Totally, 32 (5.9%) patients developed postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage grade was significantly associated with re-operation and 30-day mortality. In all, 14 of 19 patients with grade C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (73.7%) were re-operated; 3 had a simultaneous postoperative pancreatic fistula C. Grade B postpancreatectomy hemorrhage significantly prolonged hospital stay. Grade C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage significantly prolonged intensive care unit stay. Grade C postpancreatectomy hemorrhage led to longer intensive care unit stay but a shorter hospital stay. Delayed gastric emptying occurred in 131 (24.2%) patients. The delayed gastric emptying grade was significantly associated with re-operation. Nine of the re-operated patients had a simultaneous postoperative pancreatic fistula C. Grades A, B, and C delayed gastric emptying were associated with prolonged hospital- and intensive care unit stay. Conclusion: Delayed gastric emptying is the most common specific complication after pancreas resection, followed by postoperative pancreatic fistula and postpancreatectomy hemorrhage. The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery definitions are well applicable in clinical routine and the different grades correlate well with severity of clinical condition, length of hospital or intensive care unit stay, and mortality. Their widespread use can contribute to a more reproducible and reliable comparison of surgical outcomes in pancreas surgery.

Abstract Background This meta-analysis reviewed the current evidence on the impact of routine Nasogastric decompression (NGD) versus no NGD after pancreatoduodenectomy on perioperative outcomes.  Methods PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for studies reporting the role of nasogastric tube decompression after pancreatoduodenectomy on perioperative outcomes were retrieved and analysed up to January 2021.  Results Eight studies with total of 1301 patients were enrolled of which 668 patients had routine NGD. Routine NGD was associated with a higher incidence of overall delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and clinically relevant DGE (OR = 2.51, 95% CI; 1.12 - 5.63, I2= 83%, P = 0.03, and OR = 3.64, 95% CI: 1.83 – 7.25, I2 = 54%, P &lt; 0.01, respectively). Routine NGD was also associated with a higher rate of Clavien-Dindo ≥ 2 complications (OR = 3.12, 95% CI: 1.05 – 9.28, I2 = 88%, P = 0.04), and increased length of hospital stay (MD = 2.67, 95% CI: 0.60 – 4.75, I2 = 97%, P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in overall complications (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 0.79 – 1.46, I2 0%, P = 0.66), or postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.86 – 1.72, I2 = 0%, P = 0.28) between the two groups. Conclusions Routine NGD may be associated with increased rates of DGE, major complications and longer length of stay after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Introduction Morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) still remains high. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common cause of increased morbidity after PD. Assessment of predictability of risk score for severe postoperative complications was the objective of this study. MethodsThis was a retrospective observational study. Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) between January 2017 to December 2017 were included in the study. Variables were recorded from case sheets of the patients. The “Risk Score” was calculated using the pancreatic duct diameter and body mass index (BMI). Association of risk score and severe postoperative complications were analyzed. ResultsA total number of patients were 43, including 23 (53.5%) males and 20 (46.5%) females. The mean age was 57.09 ± 11.85 years ranges from 29 years to 76 years. The POPF and delayed gastric emptying (DGE) was 23.3% (10/43); and post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) was 11.6% (5/43). Severe postoperative complications were present in 13.9% (6/43) patients. In univariate analysis, pancreatic duct diameter (p=0.045) and Risk Score (p=0.02) were significantly associated with severe postoperative complications after PD. However none of them were significant in multivariate analysis. ConclusionRisk score failed to predict severe postoperative complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
