    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the safety and feasibility of a new operative procedure called binding pancreaticojejunostomy (BPJ) used to prevent anastomotic leakage following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS: From 1996 to 2001, a newly developed operative procedure, binding pancreaticojejunostomy, was performed upon 150 cases undergoing PD. The remnant of pancreas was sutured with and invaginated into the jejunum, with the suture needle only penetrating the mucosa and not the seromuscular layer. The mucosa of jejunum near the pancreatic remnant was destroyed by electric coagulation or phenol. The pancreas and jejunum were bound together so that they were pressed close to each other. The clinical data were reviewed and analysed. RESULTS: The operation of BPJ was performed smoothly on all 150 patients. No pancreatic leakage occurred. CONCLUSION: The BPJ procedure is effective in avoiding anastomotic leakage following PD.
