    Author: Huang DY, Wang XF, Zhou W, Xin Y, Mou YP, Cai XJ.
    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2007 Dec 07; 13(45):6072-5. PubMed ID: 18023102.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To evaluate the effect of polypropylene mesh-reinforced pancreatojejunostomy on pancreatic leakage. METHODS: Seventeen consecutive patients with paraampullar malignancy received polyprolene mesh-reinforced pancreatodudeonectomy and the Child's method was used to rebuild the alimentary tract. RESULTS: The mean time of polyprolene mesh-reinforced pancreatojejunostomy was 22 min. Anastomosis could endure 30-500 cm H(2)O pressure during operation. All patients recovered without pancreatic leakage. CONCLUSION: Polyprolene mesh-reinforced pancreato-jejunostomy is a feasible and reliable procedure to prevent pancreatic leakage.
