ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Fatigue and sleep deprivation can result in an increased error rate at work. The effect of overtime work for pancreaticoduodenectomy on the prognosis of patients is unclear.

Research motivation

Overtime surgery may result in an increased incidence of intraoperative errors. This study is intended to be further clarified.

Research objectives

To explore the impact of overtime work for pancreaticoduodenectomy on the short-term prognosis of patients.

Research methods

Patients were stratified by operative start time into the control group (surgery that started between 8:00 and 16:49) and the overtime group (surgery that started between 17:00 and 22:00) and compared intraoperative and postoperative parameters.

Research results

The overtime group had a higher incidence of pancreatic fistula than control group (32.8% vs 15.8%, P < 0.05).

Research conclusions

The overtime group had a higher incidence of pancreatic fistula.

Research perspectives

This study did not analyze the long-term prognosis of patients, such as progression-free survival, and overall survival. More research is needed in the future.
