About

Introduction: The value of routine nasogastric tube (NGT) decompression after pancreatic surgeries is not yet established. Previous studies in the setting of abdominal surgery suggested that the use of NGT does not accomplish any of its intended goals.

Methods/design: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter trial with two treatment arms. One group underwent pancreatic surgeries with routine NGT and was left in place after surgery until the patient passed flatus or stool. The other group underwent pancreatic surgeries without receiving NGT decompression, in which the NGT was removed at the end of surgery.

Discussion: Routine NGT decompression after pancreatic surgeries does or does not appear to have its anticipated advantages would be discovered in this RCT.
