Abstract
The present meta-analysis demonstrated that prophylactic intraperitoneal drainage after pancreatic resection appears to be unable to improve the postoperative course, and may be associated with more severe and higher rate of complication and increased pancreatic fistula occurrence. There is a serious bias in the criteria to insert drain or not in these retrospective studies. Therefore these results should be confirmed by randomized controlled trial.
