Delayed Gastric Emptying Does Not Influence Cancer-Specific Survival after Pancreatoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Background: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) remains the most frequent complication following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The present study investigates the influence of delayed gastric emptying on cancer-specific survival after PD. Methods: We included 267 patients who underwent PD between 2014 and 2...

Sumario: | Background: Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) remains the most frequent complication following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The present study investigates the influence of delayed gastric emptying on cancer-specific survival after PD. Methods: We included 267 patients who underwent PD between 2014 and 2021. They were analyzed regarding demographic factors, pre- and perioperative characteristics, surgical complications, and long-term survival. Results: Patients with a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) or pre-existing pulmonary disease suffered significantly more from DGE. When experiencing PPH, a prolonged hospital stay, or major overall complications (Clavien-Dindo °III-V) were more common in the DGE group. Tumor size over 3 cm negatively affected survival. Conclusions: DGE has no influence on long-term survival in PDAC patients, although it prolongs hospital stay. |
