Drain or no drain in #distal #pancreatectomy? Meta-analysis, 5 studies, 2153 patients: reduced major morbidity (RR 0.82, 95%CI: 0.68-0.99) and reduced POPF B/C (RR 0.55, 95%CI: 0.42-0.72) in the no-drain group. #PANDORINA multicenter RCT 🇳🇱 🇮🇹 ongoing! doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn…

@satya_surgeon E-AHPBA Marc Besselink @WardBodegraven EPC-Europ Pancr Club Pancreas Verona Alberto Balduzzi Bas Groot Koerkamp IHPBA BJS BJS Open DPCG I can't fathom this obsession of drain vs no drain studies. I haven't encountered a complication attributable solely to drain let alone a fistula or a bleed over 20 years association with HPB surgery. My only grudge, drains dont always manage to do what they are put in for.

“Self taught” (1st gen) vs “trained surgeons” (2nd gen) for #laparoscopic distal #pancreatectomy: how much does it impact the learning curve? 🤷‍♂️ More than 50% ⬇️ reduction!! ✅ Happy to have been one of the 4 “trained”, thanks to Mohamed Abu Hilal Next up: #LEARNBOT training

Is it safe to stop placing drains in left pancreatectomy? Yes! #PANDORINA trial by Ward van Bodegraven in the Best of the Best #IHPBA24 Morbidity reduced by NOT placing a drain. 15% reduced grade B/C grade if NO drain. ⏩️thelancet.com/journals/langa…
