ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of obstructive jaundice on Infectious Complications of the patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy.METHODOLOGY:
One-hundred and sixteen consecutive patients without preoperative biliary drainage underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 2006 to April 2010 and their data of post-operative complication were analyzed. Different level of bilirubin and different times of jaundice on infectious complications of the patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy were analysis.RESULTS:
Patients with severe jaundice (Total bilirubin ≥5 mg/dL; n = 55), had a higher incidence in subsequent infectious complications than the patients with total bilirubin level of less than 5 mg/dL (n = 61) (36.06% vs. 56.36%, p <0.05). The patients with preoperative TB level of 5 or more sub classified according to the duration of jaundice. However, two groups without statistical significance in terms of post-operative complications. There were no significant differences in post-operative mortality rate among the different groups.CONCLUSIONS:
The elevated serum bilirubin increases the rate of infectious complications of the patients underwent pancreaticoduodeneotomy.
