摘要
Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is the most common complication in patients
undergoing pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). The possible
mechanisms of DGE include decreased plasma motilin, postoperative
intraabdominal complications, reconstruction methods for gastric drainage, and
dysfunction of the retained distal stomach. In order to reduce patient discomfort, a
prolonged hospital stay and increased medical cost, comprehensive management of
patients with early nutritional support is required inevitable for patients with
postoperative DGE.
