Abstract
Optimized pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis was used to investigate the effects on the incidence rate of postoperative complications in pancreaticoduodenectomy. The data of 250 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between August 2011 and December 2015 were analyzed; all surgery was performed by a single team. The first 100 surgeries were performed using traditional pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis, whereas the next 150 patients underwent novel pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis (the experimental group). General information, disease status and the occurrence rate of postoperative complications [postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), biliary leakage, delayed gastric emptying, bleeding and mortality] within 30 days of surgery were observed. In the first group, 56 patients had POPF (56%), the proportion of grades A, B and C was 44% (n=44), 9% (n=9) and 3% (n=3), respectively; in the experimental group, 30 patients had POPF (20%), the proportion of grades A, B and C was 14.67% (n=22), 5.33% (n=8) and 0%, respectively. Furthermore, in the experimental group, none of the patients exhibited postoperative bleeding or succumbed during surgery. The application of the novel embeddedness-like pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis technique in pancreaticoduodenectomy was safe and effective, and may reduce the incidence of POPF in future.
