High Performing Whipple Patients: Factors Associated with Short Length of Stay after Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy

摘要

Despite the decreasing mortality of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), it continues to be associated with prolonged length of postoperative hospital stay (LOS). This study aimed to determine factors that could predict short LOS after PD. Additionally, as preliminary data of minimally invasive PD emerges, we sought to determine the average LOS after open PD at a high-volume center to set a standard to which minimally invasive PD can be compared.
