Abstract:ObjectivesHepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (HJAS) is a serious adverse event of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Preoperative biliary drainage with a self‐expandable metal stent (SEMS) is often performed before pancreaticoduodenectomy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk factors and impact of preoperative SEMS placement on developing benign HJAS after pancreaticoduodenectomy.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy at our institution between Jul… Show more
