Background:

Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is one of the most common and troublesome complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The mechanism remains uncertain.
Method:
Patients with periampullary lesions undergoing robotic pancreaticouodenectomy (RPD) or open pancreaticouodenectomy (OPD) were included. A variety of clinical factors were evaluated for the risk of DGE.
Result:

A total of 600 patients with periampullary lesions undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy were enrolled in the study, including 409 (68.2%) RPD and 191 (31.8%) OPD. Forty-six (7.7%) patients were associated with DGE after pancreaticoduodenectomy. DGE occurred in 46 (7.7%) patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients presenting with nausea/vomiting tended to have DGE, 12.6% vs. 6.3%, p = 0.019. Patients with preoperative jaundice were associated with higher rate of DGE than those without, 9.9% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.023. Malignancy was a significant factor related to DGE which occurred in 8.7% patients, as compared with only 2.2% in patients with a benign lesion, p = 0.016. Patients with lymph node involvement had a higher rate (9.8%) of DGE than those without (5.6%), p = 0.035. DGE occurred only 4.4% in RPD group, much lower than 14.7% in OPD, p < 0.001. Intraoperative blood loss > 200 c.c. was the other intraoperative factor related to DGE occurring in 11.2%, as compared with 4.4% in those with blood loss < 200 c.c., p = 0.001. PPPD, operation time, vascular resection, and tumor radicality were not significant predictors of DGE. The overall surgical mortality rate was 1.8%. The morbidity rate was 57%, with 12.2% POPF, 5.8% PPH, 23.3% chyle leakage, 1.5% bile leakage, and 6.0% wound infection. None of these postoperative complications was significantly associated with DGE. Hospital stay was significantly longer in the group with DGE than without, 37 vs. 20 days (median), p < 0.001. After multivariate analysis by binary logistic regression, RPD was the only independent factors to be associated with lower incidence of DGE, as compared with OPD
Conclusions:

jaundice, gastrointestinal upset (nausea/vomiting), malignancy, blood loss (> 200 c.c.), lymph node involvement, and OPD (14.7%) are risk factors for DGE after PD. RPD is associated with low incidence (4.4%) of DGE and is the most/only powerful independent predictor for low DGE after multivariate analysis (binary logistic regression).
