“…While no comparative data between plastic stents and lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) in the postoperative setting is available, LAMS or biflanged metal stent (BFMS) are preferred due to ease of placement and to ensure optimal drainage of necrotic or infection contents with debris. 41,42 Cautery-enhanced LAMS make placement much easier considering the single-step delivery process. On the other hand, the multistep process of stent placement makes it cumbersome to place cold LAMS or BFMS.…”

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex surgery for the management of periampullary tumors. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality of 20% and 3 to 5% respectively. While early complications like delayed gastric emptying, hemorrhage, and collections are common, late complications like biliary and pancreatic anastomotic stenosis are also known to occur. With the increase in cases of pancreatic and periampullary cancers, there is an upward trend seen even in the rates of surgery. Endoscopy has emerged over the years as a tool for both evaluation and management of various complications. In this narrative review, we aim to provide a primer for gastroenterologists who are likely to be called upon for endoscopic management of post-PD complications.
