Core Tip	The lower rate of delayed gastric emptying, which determines lower use of prokinetics after Roux compared to conventional antegastric gastroenterostomy (GE) suggested that prophylactic Roux GE should be performed during surgical exploration of patients with unresectable pancreatic head tumors. The length of hospital stay is shorter following palliative Roux GE, thus the treatment costs of these patients are likely to be smaller. Further research is needed on the cost-effectiveness of prophylactic Roux GE in unresectable pancreatic cancer.
