A prospective randomized comparison between pylorus‐ and subtotal stomach‐preserving pancreatoduodenectomy on postoperative delayed gastric emptying occurrence and long‐term nutritional status

There are few studies comparing DGE associated with PPPD and subtotal stomach‐preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (SSPPD). Moreover, differences between the procedures with respect to long‐term results have not been reported. A prospective randomized study was conducted to compare perioperative...
