The Impact of Internal or External Transanastomotic Pancreatic Duct Stents Following Pancreaticojejunostomy. Which One Is Better? A Meta-analysis

摘要

The use of pancreatic duct stent to improve postoperative outcomes of pancreatic anastomosis remains a matter of debate, and the value of stenting when performing anastomosis for normal pancreas (soft and duct less than 3 mm) needs further study. The aim of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of patients with stenting during pancreatic anastomosis and compare the effect of external stent with that of internal stent indirectly.
