Postoperative Anti-infective Strategy Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Patients With Preoperative Biliary Stent

This study compares different antibiotic treatments after a major stomach and pancreas operation called a pancreaticoduodenectomy. It looks at whether a 5-day course of antibiotics works better than a single dose to prevent infections, especially for patients who had a tube (stent) in their bile duct before surgery.
