This meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of a reinforced stapler on the postoperative outcomes of DP.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>We systematically searched electronic databases and bibliographic reference lists in The PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library's Controlled Trials Registry and Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, and Scopus.

The reinforced stapler reduced the POPF grade B and C (OR = 0.33; 95% CI [0.19, 0.57], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.01). There was no difference between the reinforced stapler group and standard stapler group in terms of mortality rate (OR = 0.39; 95% CI [0.04, 3.57], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.40), postoperative haemorrhage (OR = 0.53; 95% CI [0.20, 1.43], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.21), and reoperation rate (OR = 0.91; 95% CI [0.40, 2.06], <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.82).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>Reinforced stapling in DP is safe and seems to reduce POPF grade B/C with similar mortality rates, postoperative bleeding, and reoperation rate. The protocol of this systematic review with meta‐analysis was registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42021286849).</jats:p></jats:sec>
