Early postoperative morbidity is classified as follows: (1) wound morbidity (2) surgical site morbidity: anastomosis bleeding or leakage, duodenal stump leakage, postoperative bleeding, afferent loop or efferent loop obstruction, etc.; (3) lung morbidity: atelectasis, pleural effusion, empyema, pneumothorax, etc.; (4) intestinal obstruction morbidity (5) urinary tract morbidity (6) intra-abadominal abscess (7) postoperative pancreatitis (8) pancreatic fistula (9) intestinal fistula 10) others: lymphorrhea, diarrhea, etc. The secondary end point is the questionnaire score regarding QOL.
