Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative complications

    Any postoperative complications

    90 days

Study Arms (2)

standard PD (ST-PD)

Pancreacoduodenectomy with pancreatic-enteric reconstruction and standard hepaticojejunostomy

PD with external biliary stent(PD-BS)

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

Procedure: External biliary stent

Interventions

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

PD with external biliary stent(PD-BS)
