Posterior (SMA-first) approach vs. standard pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with periampullary cancer: a randomized trial

Abstract

E-LC group presented complications versus 2 patients from the D-LC group (Clavien-Dindo< II). There were no conversions to open surgery in any of the groups. Conclusions: E-LC in patients with MGP significantly reduces hospital stay with no impact in perioperative complications, technical difficulty or rates of choledocholithiasis/ERCP.
