Popis: BACKGROUND While neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) for pancreatic head cancer are effective, preoperative endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) is necessary for managing obstructive jaundice and cholangitis during the preoperative waiting period. Nevertheless, ideal choice of stent type is unclear. We compared plastic stents (PS) and metal stents (MS) in these situations. METHODS We retrospectively studied 43 patients who successfully underwent preoperative EBD prior to NACRT for pancreatic head cancer at a single institution. We divided patients into PS (n = 22) and MS (n = 21) groups. The primary outcome was the rate of re-interventional drainage rate before surgery. Secondary outcomes were rates of EBD-associated and postoperative complications and total costs in the pre- and perioperative periods. RESULTS The re-intervention rate was significantly greater in the PS group than in the MS group (95% vs 4.8%, respectively, P
