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.
