Description
Summary:Background Strict criteria for impeccably safe drain management following pancreatectomy have not yet been developed. We evaluated the utility of the sequentially‐checked drain removal criteria by comparison with conventional criteria. Methods Postoperative outcomes of 801 patients who underwent pancreatectomy, including 395 patients for whom drain fluid amylase (DFA) < 375U/l on postoperative day (POD) 3 (control group), were used and 406 patients for whom the sequentially‐checked criteria of DFA
