Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Antibiotic duration in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy  In patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy(Whipples procedure), are divided into two groups. Both the groups would be receiving same empirical antibiotic i.e. Inj Piperacillin+ Tazobactam 4.5g QID, or dose modification in case of patient with renal compromise but duration of antibiotic varies as Group A for 4 days and group B 8days.Later to assess the role of antibiotic duration in reduction of post operative infectious complications primarily surgical site infection, then rest intra abdominal abscess, postoperative pancreatitis, cholangitis and non specific infectious complications such as pneumonia. UTI, sepsis 
Comparator Agent  The incidence of infectious complications in patient undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy  Primary objective - To assess the effect of the antibiotic duration in two groups- Group A 4 days (96hr) and group B 8 days (192hr) with infectious complications mainly surgical site infection(SSI) post operatively. To study other infectious complications such as intra abdominal abscess, post operative pancreatitis, cholangitis and non specific complications such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection , sepsis and length of hospital stay
