Abstract Background The efficacy of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been debated for several decades, and yet indications for PBD remain controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice undergoing direct surgery versus surgery with PBD. Methods All consecutive patients with malignant obstructive jaundice who underwent radical resection between June 2017 and December 2019 at Zhongshan Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The study population was divided into two groups: PBD group (PG) and direct surgery group (DG). The subgroups were chosen based on the site of obstruction. Perioperative indicators and postoperative complications were compared and analyzed. Results A total of 290 patients were analyzed. Postoperative complications occurred in 134 patients (46.4%). Patients in the PG group had a lower overall rate of postoperative complications compared with the DG group, with perioperative total bilirubin (TB) identified as an independent risk factor in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio = 1.004; 95% confidence interval 1.001–1.007; P = 0.017). Subgroup analysis showed that PBD reduced the complication rate in patients with proximal obstruction. In the proximal-obstruction subgroup, a preoperative TB level > 162 μmol/L predicted postoperative complications. Conclusions PBD may reduce the overall rate of postoperative complications among patients with proximal malignant obstructive jaundice. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, 2018ZSLC 24.

Abstract BackgroundThe efficacy of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been debated for several decades, and indications for PBD are still a controversial topic. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of PBD among patients with malignant obstructive jaundice in current clinical settings.MethodsAll consecutive patients with malignant obstructive jaundice who underwent radical resection from June 2017 to December 2019 at Zhongshan Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The study population was divided into two groups: a PBD group (PG) and direct surgery group (DG). Subgroups were chosen by site of obstruction.ResultsA total of 290 patients were analyzed. Postoperative complications occurred in 134 patients (overall rate: 46.4%). Patients in group PG had a lower overall rate of postoperative complications as compared to group DG, with perioperative total bilirubin (TB) identified as an independent risk factor in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio = 1.004; 95% confidence interval 1.001–1.007; P = 0.017).

The cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy (CPD) has a universally high morbidity and surgery in patients with obstructive jaundice is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications especially in patients with high bilirubin levels. For this reason, endoscopic preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been proposed to improve the postoperative courses.. Nevertheless, this solution is not always feasible and the use of a surgical bilio-digestive bypass may be necessary, which may complicate a later surgical procedure.In this work we report a case series of patients who underwent CPD preceded by a double surgical bypass and we analyze its impact on morbi-mortality.

Abstract Background The effect of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on the short-term outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains controversial. Methods 164 consecutive patients with obstructive jaundice who underwent PD in our center from 2016 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The 120 patients who underwent PBD prior to PD (PBD group) were compared with 44 patients who did not (DS group). The short-term outcomes include overall morbidity, severe complications, postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF), postpancreatectomy hemorrhage(PPH), intra-abdominal abscess (IAA), sepsis, delayed gastric emptying (DGE), postoperative hospital stay and 90-day death were assesed. Results There were no significant statistical differences in overall morbidity, severe complications, POPF, PPH, IAA, LOS and ninety-day mortality between two groups. The incidence of DGE in PBD group was significantly lower than that in DS group (4.5% vs. 19.2%, P = 0.021). Multivariate regression analysis showed that age over 66 years (OR: 3.094,95% CI: 1.268-7.55) and direct surgery (OR: 5.298, 95% CI: 1.176-23.865) were independent risk factors for DGE. Conclusion For patients with obstructive jaundice, preoperative biliary drainage is independently associated with delayed gastric emptying, but does not affect the overall morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing PD.

Background. The advantages or disadvantages of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remain unclear.Methods. A prospectively maintained database was queried for 335 consecutive patients undergoing standard PD surgery between 2009 and 2013. Clinical data and postoperative complications of the 47 patients receiving PBD and 288 patients with early surgery were compared. A matching analysis was also performed between patients receiving or not receiving PBD (no-PBD).Results. The indication for PBD was severe obstructive jaundice (81%) and cholangitis (26%) at the time of PBD. 47 PBD patients had higher bilirubin level than 288 no-PBD patients preoperatively (363.2 μmol/L versus 136.0 μmol/L,p<0.001). Although no significant difference of any complications could be observed between the two groups, positive intraoperative bile culture and wound infection seemed to be moderately increased in PBD compared to no-PBD patients (p=0.084and 0.183, resp.). In the matched-pair comparison, the incidence of wound infection was three times higher in PBD than no-PBD patients (14.9% versus 4.3%,p=0.080).Conclusions. PBD seems to moderately increase the risk of postoperative wound and bile duct infection. Therefore, PBD should be selectively performed prior to PD.

Abstract Background Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in patients with obstructive jaundice from periampullary neoplasms may reduce the untoward effects of biliary obstruction and subsequent postoperative complications. However, PBD is associated with bile contamination and increases infectious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Objectives To determine whether PBD is associated with more complications after PD. Methods Patients with obstructive jaundice from periampullary lesions who underwent PD from 2000 to 2015 at our institution were retrospectively enrolled. The cohort was divided into a group with PBD and a group without. PBD was performed using one of the following methods: endoprosthesis, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, surgical biliary-enteric bypass, or T-tube choledochostomy. PDs were performed by the first author using uniform surgical techniques. Postoperative complications were recorded. Statistical analyses were conducted using an unpaired t, Fisher exact, or chi-squared tests as appropriate. Results There were 26 with PBD and 28 patients without. Patients in the 2 groups were similar in age, presenting serum bilirubin level, operative time, operative blood transfusion, and hospital stay. The group with PBD had longer duration of jaundice, more patients presenting with cholangitis, and more patients with carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. The overall complications were higher in patients in the group with PBD than in the group without. Conclusions PBD was associated with more complications overall after PD. However, PBD was necessary and lifesaving in certain clinical situations and improved the condition of patients before they underwent PD. Routine PBD in patients with obstructive jaundice without definite indications is not recommended.
