Evaluation of Preoperative Biliary Drainage Before Pancreatoduodenectomy

China274 participantsStarted 2014-01

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) which is performed prior to pancreatoduodenectomy candidates with obstructive jaundice by observing the prevalence of drainage and surgery related complications, hospital stay, medical cost and life quality compared to surgery alone. It is anticipated that PBD can reduce the prevalence of complications and improve the outcome of pancreatoduodenectomy.
