Postoperative Cholangitis After Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Frequent Late Complication Demanding Standardized Prevention and Treatment Protocols
Postoperative cholangitis after pancreatoduodenectomy is a rather common late complication, occurring in nearly 1 of 10 patients. In this study, preoperative biliary drainage was associated with a decreased risk of cholangitis. Also, the patients with major postoperative complications, including biliary anastomotic leakage, were more likely to experience cholangitis.
