Clinical effect of three different pancreaticojejunostomy in Whipple

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical results of end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy.end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy and duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy of pancreaticoduodencetomy of patients with pancreatic and periampullary carcinoma. Methods Fifty-two patients underwent different pancreaticoduodenectomy in our hospital from August 1995 to July 2006 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The incidence of pancreatic leakage,operation time,the blood loss and the postoperative complications were analyzed. Results Twenty-five patients received end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy.Sixteen patients received end-toside invagination pancreaticojejunostomy.Eleven patients received end-to-side pancreaticojejunal mucosa-mucosa anastomosis.The operation time of the duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy was shorter than the two of the others(4 ～7.15 h).The perioperative comphcations occurred in 18 cases and the long-term postoperative complications occurred in 10 cases.The average length of stay in hospital was(19.32 ±5.45)days.Two cases died during perioperative period. Conclusion End-to-eed invagination pancreaticojejunostomy,end-to-side invagination pancreaticojejunostomy and end-to-side pancreaticojejunal mucosa-mucosa anastomosis are all common anastomosis methods.Pancreatic leakage is a serious postoperative complication.The selection of anastomosis method is based on the condition during operation.
