Background: Postoperative complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are still a thorny problem. This study aims to verify the preventative impact of T-tube on them.
Methods: The electronic medical records and follow-up data of patients who received pancreaticoduodenectomy in our center from July 2016 to June 2020 were reviewed. According to whether T tube was placed during the operation, the patients were divided into T-tube group and not-T-tube group. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to minimize selection bias.
Results: A total of 330 patients underwent PD (Not-T-tube group =226, T-tube group=104). Propensity score matching resulted in 222 patients for further analysis (Not-T-tube group =134, T-tube group=88). Patients' demographics were comparable in the matched cohorts. Significantly higher incidences of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) ((14 (10.45%) VS 20 (22.73%)), P=0.013) were observed in the T-tube group. The total incidence of biliary anastomotic stricture (BAS) was 3.15%. The incidence was slightly lower in the T-tube group, but there was no statistically significant differentiation (6 (4.48%) VS 1 (1.14%), P=0.317).
Conclusions: It is not feasible to prevent postoperative complications with the application of a T-tube in PD.

The traditional method of performing open common bile duct exploration (OCBDE) was replaced by a less invasive procedure known as laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in elective surgery. But at present, the application of this technique is considered novel and controversial to treat acute cholangitis (AC). The aim of our systematic review was to investigate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in patients with AC.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares primary closure versus T-tube drainage methods after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in elderly patients (≥65 years).
- Data collected from two Vietnamese hospitals was analyzed, revealing that primary closure resulted in shorter operating times and hospital stays compared to T-tube drainage.
- Both methods had similar long-term stone recurrence rates, suggesting that primary closure is a safe and effective option for elderly patients with biliary issues.

Background: Choledocholithiasis, or stones in the common bile duct (CBD), has two types: primary stones that form in the CBD and secondary stones that migrate from the gallbladder. Management includes endoscopic, laparoscopic, and open surgical methods. In India, the availability of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and laparoscopic surgery is limited often necessitating open procedures.

Biliary complications remain a real issue in liver transplantation (LT). Despite meta-analyses, the anastomosis technique, especially the use of biliary drain as T-Tube drain (TT) or transcystic drain, remains controversial. This study conducted by the ARCHET research group examine the incidence and types of biliary complications (BC) after LT according to the presence or absence of a biliary drain.

Article Synopsis
- Cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration are frequent surgeries in Nigeria that can lead to complications like biliary tree injury and retained stones, necessitating repeat surgeries.
- A study at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital examined the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for managing these complications from March 2018 to April 2023, using various imaging techniques before the procedures.
- The study involved 72 ERCPs on 45 patients, with common issues like ascending cholangitis and retained stones, showcasing that ERCP was successful and reduced unnecessary surgeries, with recommendations for swift referrals in such cases.
