| Core Tip |
This is the first meta-analysis that compared the postoperative outcomes with or without a T-tube in biliary reconstruction during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) before and after 2010. Before 2010, T-tube was favorable for biliary stricture and had no influence on overall biliary complications, bile leaks and cholangitis. After 2010, not using a T-tube was good for overall biliary complications, cholangitis, however, using a T-tube was not associated with biliary strictures and showed an unbeneficial trend for bile leaks. Therefore, the studies published in the last decade did not provide enough evidence to support the use of T-tube during adult OLT. |
