Fast‐track recovery programme after pancreatico‐ duodenectomy reduces delayed gastric emptying

Data on enhanced recovery programmes after pancreatic surgery are sparse. This retrospective cohort study, using historical controls, aimed to evaluate the impact of a fast‐track programme after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
