ABSTRACT
Background. The role of preoperative biliary stenting (PBS) before pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with obstructive jaundice is debatable. The objective of the current study was to assess PD outcomes after upfront surgery or PBS and determine the impact of stent to surgery duration on PD outcomes. Methods. We reviewed patients who underwent PD between 2011 and 2019. Patients were grouped based on whether they underwent upfront surgery (n = 67) or PBS (n = 66). We further assessed outcomes based on stent to surgery duration. Results. There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality (3% vs. 2.9%, P = 1), 90-day mortality (7.5% vs. 4.4%, P = .4), and Grade B-C pancreatic fistula rates (7.5% vs. 4.4%, P = .4) in the PBS and upfront surgery groups, respectively. A significant increase in wound infections (22.7% vs. 7.4%, P = .01) and readmissions (10.6% vs. 0, P = .006) was seen in the PBS group. The highest rate of wound infection was seen when stent to surgery duration was 4-6 weeks (41.6%). The wound infection rates in the upfront surgery group, high-risk PBS group (4-6 weeks), and low-risk PBS group were 5/67(7.4%), 5/12(41.6%), and 7/36(19.4%), respectively (P = .008). Conclusions. PBS increases postoperative wound infections when compared with upfront surgery. Patients operated between 4 and 6 weeks after stenting have the highest rate of wound infection.
