Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The influence of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) for obstructive jaundiced patients before pancreaticoduodenectomy is debated in the past decades. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of preoperative biliary drainage on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes in patients with severely obstructive jaundice. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively from severely obstructive jaundiced patients with serum total bilirubin level exceeding 250 μmol/L and undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 2012 to December 2017. The univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess independent risk factors for overall postoperative complications. A propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was performed to adjust baseline characteristics between PBD and direct surgery (DS) groups. After PSM, intraoperative data and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 200 patients were included. The rate of overall postoperative complication occurred in 119 (59.5%) patients, with prealbumin <150 mg/L (OR = 3.03; 95%CI = [1.63-5.62]; p < 0.001), ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology score) classification II-III (OR = 2.27; 95%CI = [1.21-4.27]; p = 0.011), and direct surgery (OR = 3.88; 95%CI = [1.67-8.99]; p = 0.002) identified as independent risk factors in multivariate analysis. After PSM, there was similar operative time and intraoperative transfusion between PBD and DS group. However, DS group had a higher incidence of overall postoperative complication (p = 0.005), grades B and C of post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) (p = 0.032), and grades B and C of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (p = 0.045) compared to PBD group. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, in order to reduce overall postoperative complications, PBD should be performed routinely for those patients with serum total bilirubin level exceeding 250 μmol/L and undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.
