Preoperative biliary drainage is associated with increased complications after liver resection for proximal cholangiocarcinoma

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery Jul 13, 2018

Ramanathan R, et al. - Researchers sought for the associations between preoperative biliary drainage (percutaneous or endoscopic) and 30-day outcomes via analyzing patients undergoing liver resection between 2014 and 2016 for non-disseminated hilar and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database.

Data thereby suggest that avoidance of routine preoperative biliary drainage might reduce short-term complications.
