Comparative study between duct to mucosa and invagination pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy: a prospective randomized study.

Background: The ideal technical pancreatic reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still debated. The aim of the study was to assess the surgical outcomes of duct to mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) (G1) and invagination PJ (G2) after PD.

Methods: Consecutive patients treated by PD at our center were randomized into either group.

Isolated Roux loop pancreaticojejunostomy versus pancreaticogastrostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy: a prospective randomized study.

Objectives: The optimal strategy for the reconstruction of the pancreas following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still debated. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of isolated Roux loop pancreaticojejunostomy (IRPJ) with those of pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) after PD.

Methods: Consecutive patients submitted to PD were randomized to either method of reconstruction.
