External versus internal pancreatic duct drainage for early efficacy after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in the early stages of the low-flow center learning curve: a retrospective comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no uniform conclusion as to whether internal or external drainage of the supporting duct is more clinically effective, especially in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) which has not yet been reported in clinical studies. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of external versus internal pancreatic duct drainage during LPD performed in a low-flow center at the beginning of the learning curve.

Methods

The clinical data of a total of 73 cases of patients who underwent LPD between January 2022 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-eight cases performed by doctors from Jingzhou Hospital Affiliated to Yangtze University were considered as not having passed the early stages of the learning curve, and 25 cases performed by the invited t
