Official Title: Evaluation of Preoperative Biliary Drainage on Outcome of Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) which is performed prior to pancreatoduodenectomy candidates with obstructive jaundice by observing the prevalence of drainage and surgery related complications, hospital stay, medical cost and life quality compared to surgery alone. It is anticipated that PBD can reduce the prevalence of complications and improve the outcome of pancreatoduodenectomy.
