Association of gravity drainage and complications following Whipple: an analysis of the ACS-NSQIP targeted database

Abstract Background The optimal type of operative drainage following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains unclear. Our objective is to investigate risk associated with closed drainage techniques (passive [gravity] vs. suction) after PD. Methods We assessed operative drainage techniques utilized in p...
