Objective To assess the safety for removing nasogastric tube(NGT)within postoperative 24 h in Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)patients. Methods The clinical data of 310 patients performed classic Whipple PD from January 2008 to March 2013 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into early (≤24 h after operation)removing NGT group and late( > 24 h after operation)removing NGT group according to the time of NGT duration. The ratio of NGT reinsertion, time of solid diet tolerance, hospital stay, mortality, and major complications associated with PD were compared between two groups. Results ①The demography and preoperative comorbidities characteristics were similar(P > 0.05).②There was no statistical difference of ratio of NGT reinsertion between two groups(P=0.450).③The differences of rates of major complications associated with PD and mortality were not statistically different(P > 0.05)by univariate analysis, but the rate of total complications in the early removing NGT group was significantly lower than that in the late removing NGT group (P=0.014)by multivariate analysis.④The average time of solid diet tolerance(P=0.013)and average hospital stay(P < 0.001)in the early removing NGT group were significantly shorter than those in the late removing NGT group. Conclusion For patients comfort, NGT following PD should be removed as early as possible even immediately after extubation for selective patients.
