Background: The superiority of early drain removal (EDR) versus late (LDR) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has been demonstrated only in RCTs.
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model and trial sequential analysis. The critical endpoints were morbidity, redrainage, relaparotomy, and postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF).

Article Synopsis
- A systematic review analyzed the effects of having an aberrant right hepatic artery (a-RHA) versus a normal right hepatic artery (na-RHA) on patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
- The study found that critical outcomes, such as overall survival and complications like biliary fistula, showed no significant differences between the two groups of patients.
- The conclusion is that having an a-RHA does not negatively impact the short-term or long-term clinical outcomes following PD surgery.
