Modified Blumgart Mattress Suture Versus Conventional Interrupted Suture in Pancreaticojejunostomy During Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Modified mattress suture

DISCUSSION Many surgeons default to holding the scope in a curved position. Due to the length and the ever decreasing calibre of modern scopes, the transmission of torque is reduced, resulting in decreased rotation of the tip in response to movements of the hand. Consequently, the operator resorts to excessive movements in a ‘windscreen wiper’ motion. Using this technique improves the ability o...

Twisted loop mattress suture

The double loop mattress suture

An interrupted stitch type with favorable tissue characteristics will reduce local wound complications. We describe a novel high-strength, low-tension repair for the interrupted closure of skin, cartilage, and muscle, the double loop mattress stitch, and compare it experimentally with other interrupted closure methods. The performance of the double loop mattress technique in porcine cartilage a...

Continuous versus interrupted suture technique in microvascular anastomosis in rats.

PURPOSE To compare the continuous and interrupted suture technique on femoral artery on rats after vessel repair and 14 days after. METHODS Twenty rats were operated randomly divided into two group matched according to the suture technique used: interrupted or continuous. We performed a femoral anastomosis on the right femoral artery. We analyzed weight, arterial caliber, anastomosis time and...

Mesh-reinforced pancreaticojejunostomy versus conventional pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy: a retrospective study of 126 patients

BACKGROUND Pancreatic fistula is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The aim of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a newly developed technique, namely mesh-reinforced pancreaticojejunostomy, in comparison with the conventional use of pancreaticojejunostomy after undergoing a pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS Data was collected from regarding...
