    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of bio-mesh-reinforced pancreaticogastrostomy. METHODS: A total of 23 patients undergoing bio-mesh-reinforced pancreaticogastrostomy from May 2011 to January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Their demographic data, operative parameters and post-operative outcomes were recorded. The severity of pancreatic leak was determined according to the criteria of International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF). RESULTS: The mean anastomotic time was 24 (20-35) minutes. Intra-operative leak tests showed all pancreatic anastomoses were watertight. Six patients (26.1%) had pancreatic leakage of grade A. One patient (4.3%) had pancreatic leakage of grade B. No patient developed postoperative pancreatic leakage of class C. One case of abdominal infection was reported. No severe complications such as hemorrhage, bile leakage or gastrojejunostomy leakage were observed. All patients recovered well within Month 1 post-discharge. CONCLUSION: This novel technique may be a simple and feasible strategy for all types of pancreatic remnants.
