Text: Compared with internal drainage group, pancreatic duct stent external drainage obviously reduced the morbidity of pancreatic fistula (13. 6 % vs. 22. 6 %), delayed gastric emptying (10. 0 % vs. 27. 5 %), abdominal infection (6. 4 % vs. 19. 3 %), intestinal obstruction (8. 2 % vs. 20. 2 %) along with the overall complications (24. 5 % vs. 41. 3 %) after PD ((2) = 5. 735 8 to 11. 047 7, P < 0. 05), and shortened the healing duration of pancreatic fistula ((11. 5 2. 9) d vs. (20. 1 5. 7) d, t = 5. 07, P < 0. 01), while there was no significant difference in the intra-operative blood loss, operative duration, post-operative hospital stay and mortality rate, etc between the two groups (P > 0. 05).
