Preventing Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreaticoduodenectomy
This meta-analysis shows that PG is superior to PJ for reconstruction after PD. PG is associated with significantly lower pancreatic and biliary fistula rates and a shorter length of hospital stay than PJ. Further studies that use the widely accepted ISGPF definition of POPF will help confirm our results.
