Objective To discuss the current status and progress of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Method The related researches about DGE after PD in recent year were searched and reviewed.Results The etiology and pathogenesis of DGE had not yet been fully elucidated. There were various risk factors, such as the surgical trauma, advanced age, diabetes, and with other abdominal complications. The pylorus preserving PD didn’t increase the risk of DGE. The pylorus ring resection, anterior colon, Braun anastomosis, and minimally invasive surgery were beneficial for reducing DGE. Although there was no obvious progress in the treatment of DGE at home and abroad, the majority of patients could be cured by the symptomatic conservative treatment.Conclusions Prevention is a main strategy for DGE after PD. Application of enhanced recovery after surgery might be a key to solve problem in clinical, but further research is needed.
