    Journal: Biomed Res Int; 2017; 2017():3565438. PubMed ID: 28904954.
    Abstract:
    The results of this meta-analysis show that DPPHR should be established as first-line treatment because of lower level of severe early postoperative complications, maintenance of endocrine pancreatic functions, shortening of postoperative hospitalization time, and increase of quality of life compared to pancreaticoduodenectomy.
