Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of preoperative percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) on postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 115 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy between 2001 and 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.The diagnosis of periampullary cancer or cancer of the pancreatic head was confirmed histologically.The preoperative total bilirubin level was more than 100 μmol/L and there was no concomitant cholangitis.Forty-two patients underwent PTBD (PTBD group),and 73 were not drained (early operation group).The following parameters were analyzed:wound infection,intra-abdominal abscess,intra-abdominal or gastrointestinal bleeding,biliary or pancreatic leakage,gastroparesis,morbidity and mortality.The length of hospital stay and cost were also assessed.ResultsThe perioperative mortality and morbidity were 2.38％/54.76％ in the PTBD group and 2.74％/50.68％ in the early operative group,respectively.There were no significantly differences between these two groups.Similar results were obtained in biliary leak,pancreatic leak,intra-abdominal infection,wound infection and gastroparesis.The length of hospital stay and cost were significantly less in the early operation group than the PTBD group.ConclusionsPTBD had no beneficial effects on postoperative outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy.For distal biliary obstruction,PTBD should not be carried out routinely.
