Popis: Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy on postoperative outcomes. Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively on data from 820 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy performed in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Ankara City Hospital between April 1999 and August 2019. Twenty years of collected patient data were re-examined and 805 patients were divided into two groups as those who underwent preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) and those who did not (non-PBD). Demographic data of patients, and preoperative, operative and postoperative details, including morbidity, were collected and compared between the two groups. Results: There were 574 (71.3%) patients in the PBD group and 231 (28.6%) patients in the non-PBD group. Total complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification were significantly higher in the PBD group (P8 mm (P=0.020). Conclusion: PBD is not associated with anastomotic leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Wound infection, delayed gastric emptying and intraabdominal hemorrhage were significantly associated with PBD. Preoperative bilirubin level had no effect on these results. In subgroup analysis, in patients undergoing drainage, if bilirubin falls below 5 mg/dL, the risk of wound infection was still high in patients with bile duct diameter>8 mm.
