Brief Summary  

All consecutive patients who undergo minimally invasive or open pancreatoduodenectomy with drain fluid amylase on POD 1 (<5000IU/L) and POD 3 (<350IU/L) in the Department of Surgery and Surgical gastroenterology will be included in the study.

Drain will be placed intraoperatively for all patients at the end of the procedure. After obtaining informed consent, eligible patients are randomized into two groups on POD 3 by a computer generated allocation schedule to receive either early or conventional drain removal.

In both the groups, drain fluid amylase levels are assessed on POD 1 and day 3. In Group 1 drain will be removed according to treating surgeons discretion whereas in group 2, the drain will be removed on POD 3 after ruling out intra-abdominal collection by ultrasound. 

Hospital stay, Pancreatic fistula, Intra abdominal collections, Delayed gastric emptying, Gastrointestinal bleeding will be analyzed in both the groups.
