Delayed gastric emptying is a cause of significant morbidity and prolongs the duration of hospitalization following pancreaticoduodenectomy. The incidence of DGE does not appear to be related to the method of reconstruction (antecolic or retrocolic). Older age may be a risk factor for its occurrence.

Post-stenting EBRT effectively prolongs duration of dysphagia relief and improves overall survival in inoperable esophageal cancer.
