The objective of this study was to verify the safety of a new technique termed "binding pancreaticojejunostomy" in a prospective cohort study. Pancreaticojejunal anastomostic leakage is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. To prevent the development of pancreatic fistulas, we designed a special technique that we termed binding pancreaticojejunostomy. Binding pancreaticojejunostomy entails binding 3 cm of the serosamuscular sheath of the jejunum to the intussuscepted pancreatic stump. From January 1996 to May 2001, a total of 150 consecutive patients were treated with this type of pancreaticojejunostomy, including typical pancreaticoduodenectomy in 120, hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy in 17, pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy in 10, and duodenal-preserving resection of the head of the pancreas in three. None of the patients developed pancreatic fistulas. The overall morbidity was 31.3%. The following complications occurred: gastrointestinal bleeding in six, pulmonary infection in 12, wound infection in 20, delayed gastric emptying in three, incision dehiscence in four, and hepatic insufficiency in two. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 19.8 +/- 5 days. Binding pancreaticojejunostomy is a safe, simple, and effective technique.

Pancreatoduodenectomy is the most appropriate technique for the treatment of periampullary tumors. In the past, this procedure was associated with high mortality and morbidity, but with improvements in patient selection, anesthesia, and surgical technique, mortality has decreased to less than 5%. However, morbidity remains increased due to various complications such as delayed gastric emptying, bleeding, abdominal collections, and abscesses, most of which are related to the pancreatojejunostomy leak.

Introduction: Central pancreatectomy (CP) is a standard surgical procedure for benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic neoplasms in the body and neck of the pancreas. Higher incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after CP than after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or distal pancreatectomy (DP) has been reported, but no nomogram for prediction of CR-POPF after open CP has been previously established.
Methods: Patients undergoing open CP for benign or low-grade malignant pancreatic neoplasms in the department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic (HBP) surgery of Shanghai Changhai Hospital affiliated to Naval Medical University between January 01, 2009 and December 31,2020 were enrolled.

Background: Laparoscopic pancreaticoenteric anastomosis is one of the technically challenging steps of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), especially during the learning curve. Despite multiple randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses, the type of pancreatico-enteric anastomosis as a risk factor for post-pancreatectomy complications is debatable. Also, the ideal technique of pancreatic reconstruction during the learning curve of laparoscopic PD has not been well studied.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula is a common and serious complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy has been used in many centers to reconstruct pancreatic digestive continuity following pancreatoduodenectomy, however, its efficacy and safety are uncertain.
Objectives: To assess the benefits and harms of duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy versus other types of pancreaticojejunostomy for the reconstruction of pancreatic digestive continuity in participants undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy, and to compare the effects of different duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy techniques.

Central pancreatectomy is a pancreatic parenchymal sparing surgery usually indicated for benign and borderline malignant tumors of the neck and proximal body of the pancreas. Due to the presence of extensive intra-pancreatic spread, pancreatic parenchyma sparing procedures such as central pancreatectomy are invariably deferred in pancreatic malignancy. The need for management of two pancreatic stumps with a usually soft texture and non-dilated ducts, given the indications, increases the risk of pancreatic fistula and therefore morbidity.
