  • Title: Pancreaticojejunostomy and pancreatic leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
    Author: Kojima Y, Katayama K, Note M, Shimada H, Nakagawara G.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1992; 77(2):80-3. PubMed ID: 1353751.
    Abstract:
    Some techniques of pancreaticojejunostomy have been introduced with reference to pancreatic leakage from the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. Pancreatic leakage (+/- ) occurred in 21.4% of pancreaticojejunostomy patients and pancreatic leakage (+) in 9.5%. The frequency of pancreatic leakage tended to be higher in cases where the pancreatic duct was undilated and the remaining distal segment of the pancreas had a soft tissue. Pancreatic leakage led to secondary complication in none of the patients in our series, but further technical refinement of pancreaticojejunostomy is warranted to reduce the frequency of pancreatic leakage to zero.
