Replying to @Gio_Marchegiani
@Gio_Marchegiani @MauroPodda2 @BjsOpen @villesallinen @des_winter @BJSAcademy @nmachair @young_bjs @juliomayol @JBMatthews @ksoreide Pip/Tazo is in the @WHO Watch category of the AWaRe classification and it should not be used deliberately! It’s a lazy way of treating SSI. More appropriate to tailor the treatment based on bile stenting, preop bile culture, and rectal swab colonization with MDR! @heatherevansmd

We express our sincere gratitude
for your attention and interest in our recently published study @BjsOpen titled "Piperacillin/tazobactam for surgical prophylaxis during pancreatoduodenectomy: a meta-analysis ." We are hopeful that the findings from this study will contribute towards enhancing the outcomes of the whipple procedure. @hollylneville @mhshospital

Piperacillin/tazobactam for surgical prophylaxis during pancreatoduodenectomy: meta-analysis
➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsope…

Piperacillin/tazobactam as antimicrobial prophylaxis significantly lowers the risk of postoperative surgical-site infections, major surgical complications ed as Clavien–Dindo grade greater than or equal to III), clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas (grades B and C), and mortality, hence supporting the implementation of piperacillin/tazobactam for surgical prophylaxis in current practice.

🚨PANDORINA, a binational 🇳🇱🇮🇹RCT of drain 🆚 no drain in distal pancreatectomy out in @LancetGastroHep !
✅Major morbidity 20% vs 15%
✅POPF 27% vs 12%
➡️A no-drain policy is safe and reduced POPF and should be the new standard approach

🎄 Best of Pancreas Wrapped 2023!!! 🍾

1⃣ January 2023: Pancreatic cysts when to stop surveillance !? 👇👇👇
Pancreatic cysts 🧐 When to Stop Surveillance ?!

🔥 A burning issue on @AmJGastro

🛑 STOP of follow-up depends on interval stability and size either after 5 or 10 years

Oversurveillance discouraged 🤜🤛 More evidence needed !!!

Your practice ?! 😱
