TLDR
Use of preoperative biliary stenting doubled between 1992 and 2007 despite evidence that stenting is associated with increased perioperative infectious complications, and should be involved early to prevent unnecessary stenting and improve outcomes.

Preoperative biliary stenting versus operation first in jaundiced patients due to malignant lesions in the pancreatic head: A meta-analysis of current literature

TL;DR: The increase of postoperative overall complications and wound infections urges for precise indications for preoperative biliary drainage and against routine preoperatively biliary decompression.

Therapeutic options for the management of pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: The most effective therapies that have been used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer are reviewed and the future potential of therapeutic options are discussed.

Effect of preoperative biliary drainage on bacterial flora in bile of patients with periampullary cancer.

TL;DR: Patients with obstructive jaundice due to periampullary tumours may undergo preoperative biliary drainage, and the effect of PBD on the microbiome of the biliary system and on postoperative outcome remains unclear.

The value of routine preoperative medical testing before cataract surgery

TL;DR: Routine medical testing before cataract surgery does not measurably increase the safety of the surgery and analysis stratified according to age, sex, race, physical status, and medical history revealed no benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative external biliary drainage in obstructive jaundice. A prospective controlled clinical trial.

TL;DR: There seems to be no advantage associated with routine preoperative external biliary drainage before surgery for obstructive jaundice, and the postoperative complication rate was low and similar in both groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis on the efficacy of preoperative biliary drainage for tumors causing obstructive jaundice

TL;DR: PBD with current standards for patients with obstructive jaundice resulting from tumors carries no benefit and should not be performed routinely, and further randomized controlled trials with improved PBD techniques are necessary.

The Complications of Pancreatectomy

TL;DR: This paper analyses the early postoperative complications after 285 pancreaticoduodenectomies performed during the past 15 years in the Surgical University Clinic, Mannheim and concludes that early reintervention can salvage the great majority of patients with deleterious complications.
