Abstract:Background/Aim: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) development is a common complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Various surgical anastomosis techniques have been proposed to mitigate this risk. This study compares two techniques: the two-layer duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy (TLPJ) and the modified layer-to-layer end-to-side duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy with jejunal serosa resection (MLLPJ).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent pancreaticoduod… Show more
