Background: The advantage of a pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) over a pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) after a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is not clear.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the pancreatic fistula (PF, defined according to the International Study Group for Pancreatic Fistula classification) rate and other complications between both methods.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of 424 [median: 65 years (17-83)] patients who underwent PG (239, 56.4%) and PJ (185, 43.6%) reconstruction between January 2005 and December 2009.
Results: PF occurred in 55 (23.5%) in the PG and 30 (16.2%, P= 0.067) patients in the PJ group. Grade A PF occurred in 19 (7.9%), B in 22 (9.2%) and C in 14 (5.8%) in the PG compared with 5 (2.7%), 12 (6.5%) and in 13 (7.0%), respectively, in the PJ group. The median hospital was 10 days in both groups. The morbidity was higher in the PG group (108, 45.2 vs. 62, 33.5%, P= 0.015). However, there was no significant difference in the 90-day mortality between both groups (PG-17, 7.0% vs. PJ-16, 8.6%, P= 0.558).
Conclusion: There was no difference in the overall PF rate, hospital stay and overall mortality between PG and PJ reconstruction methods. However, the grade A PF rate was higher in the PG group.

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a major and serious problem after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). In its presence, pancreatic juice may leak from the main duct or branches of the pancreatic stump. To prevent this, we have applied a newly modified anastomosis of pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) using a linear stapler (stapled PG).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of pancreaticogastrostomy with endoscopic transgastric drainage in preventing postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
- A comparison of 191 patients showed that those who underwent pancreaticogastrostomy had significantly lower operative time, blood loss, and hospital stays compared to those who had pancreaticojejunostomy.
- Results suggest that this method, particularly with endoscopic drainage, offers a promising approach for better perioperative management in patients who undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy.
