Mucobilia: current aspects in the management of a rare cause of malignant biliary obstruction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Delayed gastric emptying (DGE), a common postoperative complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy, is not considered a life-threatening complication. In the present study, we analyzed the risk factors for DGE and its impact on long-term prognosis. METHODS:We analyzed 383 patients who underwent pancreaticoduode...
