Comparative Long-term Outcomes for Pancreatic Volume Change, Nutritional Status, and Incidence of New-onset Diabetes between Pancreatogastrostomy and Pancreatojejunostomy after Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Abstract

Introduction: The difference in volume change in a pancreatic remnant according to the type of pancreaticoenterostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for long-term follow-up is unknown. This study aimed to compare serial pancreatic volume changes in pancreatic remnants between pancreatogastrostomy (PG) and pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) after PD and to evaluate the difference in general nutritional status and incidence of NODM between PG and PJ.
