Core Tip	Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) frequently occurs following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Review of our institutional database revealed a DGE rate of less than 20% among patients who underwent PD. DGE was associated with increased healthcare utilization in terms of rates of various postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and need for transitional care upon discharge. Patients with post-operative pancreatic fistula or intra-abdominal abscess formation were at risk for DGE. Anticipating DGE can help individualize care and allocate resources to high-risk patients.
