Omental wrapping of the pancreaticojejunostomy during pancreatoduodenectomy to prevent clinically relevant POPF: a GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis featuring geographic subgroup analysis.
Key Points
This research aims to explore the effectiveness of omental wrapping of pancreaticojejunostomy to reduce post-operative pancreatic fistulas.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
Included geographic subgroup analysis
Assessed studies using GRADE methodology
Omental wrapping significantly reduces the incidence of clinically relevant POPF
Improves perioperative recovery without increasing surgery duration
Support for selective adoption in high-risk anatomical contexts
Abstract
Omental wrapping of PJ reduces CR-POPF and improves perioperative recovery without prolonging surgery, supporting selective adoption in anatomically high-risk contexts within standardized care pathways.
