Hospitalization Burden of Biliary Strictures and Cholangitis After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Postsurgical biliary disease in Roux-en-y and cholecystectomies has been investigated, but less literature exists regarding biliary complications after Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy [PD]). Moreover, the hospital burden incurred after this complication has not been previously examined. The aim of this study is to assess the trends in hospitalization for biliary strictures and cholangitis after PD.
