Ultrasonography proved vital in assessing postoperative fluid collections after pancreaticoduodenectomy. A study of 309 patients revealed that those undergoing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) experienced significantly fewer fluid collections (39.2% vs. 59.3%) and shorter hospital stays (16 vs. 21 days). Additionally, LPD patients had reduced fever duration, faster catheterization, fewer required tubes, and shorter extubation times. These findings highlight the effectiveness of laparoscopic techniques in improving postoperative outcomes.
