HYPOTHESIS Pancreaticogastrostomy is a safe operation for a variety of periampullary conditions. DESIGN Retrospective review of a prospectively collected database. SETTING An academic tertiary care university hospital and a Veterans Affairs hospital. PATIENTS A total of 235 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticogastrostomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Indications for surgery, preoperative risk factors, intraoperative and postoperative variables, and factors that affect postoperative complications. RESULTS The most common initial symptoms were jaundice (73.2%), weight loss (23.8%), and abdominal pain (17.0%). The 4 most common indications for surgery were pancreatic adenocarcinoma (41.3%), ampullary carcinoma (17.0%), duodenal carcinoma (7.2%), and chronic pancreatitis (7.2%). The median operating time was 6.5 hours. Median blood loss was 900 mL. The median intraoperative blood transfusion was 0 U. The median postoperative length of stay was 9 days. Postoperative mortality was 0.9%. The most common complications were pancreatic fistulae (13.6%), 1 of which was thought to cause 1 of 2 mortalities in this series. Pancreatic fistulae developing after pancreaticogastrostomy were significantly related to a low preoperative alkaline phosphatase level and surgery for nonpancreatic pathologic findings. The presence of a fistula significantly increased the postoperative length of hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS Pancreaticogastrostomy is a safe operation associated with low mortality and morbidity rates and a pancreatic fistula rate of 13.6%. It should be considered as a suitable alternative for management of the pancreatic remnant after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Reconstruction method after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Idea to prevent serious complications.

Pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy represents a critical trigger of potentially life-threatening complications and is also associated with markedly prolonged hospitalization. Many arguments have been proposed for the method to anastomosis the pancreatic stump with the gastrointestinal tract, such as invagination vs. duct-to-mucosa, Billroth I (Imanaga) vs. Billroth II (Whipple and...

Evaluation of a New Modification of Pancreaticogastrostomy after Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Anastomosis of the Pancreatic Duct to the Gastric Mucosa with Invagination of the Pancreatic Remnant End into the Posterior Gastric Wall for Patients with Cancer Head of Pancreas and Periampullary Carcinoma in terms of Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula Formation

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains the main problem after pancreaticoduodenectomy and determines to a large extent the final outcome. We describe a new modification of pancreaticogastrostomy which combines duct to mucosa anastomosis with suturing the pancreatic capsule to posterior gastric wall and then invaginating the pancreatic remnant into the posterior ga...

Pancreaticogastrostomy - an alternate for dealing with pancreatic remnant after pancreaticoduodenectomy - experience from a tertiary care center of Pakistan.

Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy has been refined over the years to be a safe operation though the morbidity rate still remains high (30-50%). Pancreatic fistula is the most important cause of mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy. To prevent it, surgeons have used two anastomotic techniques: pancreaticojejunostomy and pancreaticogastrostomy. Recent studies found that pancreaticogastrost...
