Study Overview

Evaluation of Preoperative Biliary Drainage Before Pancreatoduodenectomy

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.

Obstructive jaundice is a common symptom in patients with pancreatic head cancer or peri-ampullary cancer. It is regarded that proper surgical resection is the only possible way of radical cure for those patients without evidence of metastasis. Since high preoperative bilirubin level is suggested to be a risk factor for pancreatoduodenectomy, preoperative biliary drainage has been applied to clinical practice to improve the outcome of surgery. However, results from previous studies have inconsistent results showing that PBD may have adverse effect on patients by elevating the prevalence of complications. Since PBD is widely performed worldwide, its value needs to be clarified. Thus the present study is designed to systematically evaluate the value of PBD via recruiting participants who may most likely benefit from PBD. It is anticipated that results from this study can present an instructive conclusion on whether PBD should be performed prior to pancreatoduodenectomy as well as reveal the preferable type of PBD.
