The etiology and pathogenesis of DGE have not been fully elucidated in China and globally, and the majority of patients can be cured after general symptomatic treatment. This article reviews the risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms of DGE after PD, in order to provide a reference for the effective management of DGE after PD in clinical practice.
