Preoperative Biliary Drainage for Cancer of the Head of the Pancreas
Niels A. van der Gaag,Erik A.J. Rauws,Casper H.J. van Eijck,Marco J. Bruno,Erwin van der Harst,Frank J G M Kubben,Josephus J. G. M. Gerritsen,Jan Greve,Michael F. Gerhards,Ignace H J T de Hingh,Jean H. G. Klinkenbijl,Chung Y. Nio,Steve M. M. de Castro,Olivier R. Busch,Thomas M. van Gulik,Patrick M.M. Bossuyt,Dirk J. Gouma +16 more
TL;DR: Routine preoperative biliary drainage in patients undergoing surgery for cancer of the pancreatic head increases the rate of complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hospital volume and mortality after pancreatic resection: a systematic review and an evaluation of intervention in the Netherlands.
N. Tjarda van Heek,Koert F.D. Kuhlmann,Rob J. Scholten,Steve M. M. de Castro,Olivier R. Busch,Thomas M. van Gulik,Huug Obertop,Dirk J. Gouma +7 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of existing data shows convincing evidence of an inverse relation between hospital volume and mortality and enforces the plea for centralization in The Netherlands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The need for a prophylactic gastrojejunostomy for unresectable periampullary cancer: a prospective randomized multicenter trial with special focus on assessment of quality of life.
N. Tjarda van Heek,Steve M. M. de Castro,Casper H.J. van Eijck,Rutger C. I. van Geenen,Eric J. Hesselink,Paul J. Breslau,T. C. Khe Tran,Geert Kazemier,Mechteld R.M. Visser,Olivier R. Busch,Hugo Obertop,Dirk J. Gouma +11 more
TL;DR: Prophylactic gastrojejunostomy significantly decreases the incidence of gastric outlet obstruction without increasing complication rates, and this study provides sufficient evidence to state that a double bypass consisting of a hepaticoje junostomy and a prophylaxis gastrojeJunostomy is preferable to a single bypass in patients undergoing surgical palliation for unresectable periampullary carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed massive hemorrhage after pancreatic and biliary surgery: embolization or surgery?
Steve M. M. de Castro,Koert F.D. Kuhlmann,Olivier R. Busch,Otto M. van Delden,Johan S. Laméris,F. Thomas M. Van Gulik,Hugo Obertop,Dirk J. Gouma +7 more
TL;DR: Aggressive surgical intervention was the treatment of choice in patients with DMH after pancreatic or biliary surgery, and specifically to assess the role of embolization and surgical intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic Delay and Survival After Surgery for Cancer of the Pancreatic Head With or Without Preoperative Biliary Drainage
Wietse J. Eshuis,Niels A. van der Gaag,Erik A.J. Rauws,Casper H.J. van Eijck,Marco J. Bruno,Ernst J. Kuipers,Peter Paul L. O. Coene,Frank J G M Kubben,Josephus J. G. M. Gerritsen,Jan Greve,Michael F. Gerhards,Ignace H J T de Hingh,Jean H. G. Klinkenbijl,Chung Y. Nio,Steve M. M. de Castro,Olivier R. Busch,Thomas M. van Gulik,Patrick M.M. Bossuyt,Dirk J. Gouma +18 more
TL;DR: In patients with pancreatic head cancer, the delay in surgery associated with PBD does not impair or benefit survival rate, and a longer time to surgery was significantly associated with slightly lower mortality rate after surgery.
