Polyglycolic acid (PGA) felt has been used to prevent clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, there has been no related research on Blumgart anastomosis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the practical significance of Blumgart anastomosis with our new method involving PGA felt to prevent CR-POPF following PD. Data from 133 consecutive patients who underwent Blumgart anastomosis during PD between June 2015 and November 2021 were reviewed. We applied PGA felt to 35 of these patients starting from July 2020. Surgical outcomes were analyzed by propensity score matching. Thirty-five (35.7%) of the 98 patients in the without-PGA group were matched with an equal number from the with-PGA group after adjusting for covariates. CR-POPF was found in 17 patients (49%) in the without-PGA group and two patients (6%) in the with-PGA group ( < .001). The multivariate analysis results indicated that male sex, pancreatic duct size <3 mm, soft pancreatic texture, and nonuse of PGA were independently associated with CR-POPF after PD. In conclusion, Blumgart anastomosis with our new penetrating method for PGA felt reduces the incidence of CR-POPF after PD.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate how using the ligamentum teres hepatis and falciform ligament, which wraps around the gastroduodenal artery (GDA), impacts complications after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).
- Patients were divided into two groups: one with the ligamentous flap wrapping the GDA stump (Group A) and another that utilized the flap for both GDA wrapping and reinforcing the posterior wall (Group B).
- Group B showed fewer complications like clinically relevant post-operative pancreatic fistulas, shorter hospital stays, and less need for abdominal drainage, indicating that this technique enhances the safety and outcomes of LPD.*

Introduction: This report with a video describes a laparoscopic central pancreatectomy with modified Blumgart pancreatojejunostomy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
Patients And Methods: A 71-year-old woman presented with a single 17 mm lesion in the pancreatic neck, responsible for dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Cancer staging showed no additional location.

Purpose: Despite descriptions of different pancreatojejunostomy procedures using robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD), a standardized procedure has not yet been established. No prior report has described pancreatojejunostomy by RPD combined with modified Blumgart anastomosis with continuous suturing for duct-to-mucosa anastomosis. This study investigated this surgical technique and evaluated the short-term outcomes of the simplified pancreatojejunostomy procedure.

Incidentalomas, or tumors found incidentally, are very common. However, pancreatic tumors are usually not found as incidentalomas. To date, these tumors represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, since the risks and benefits associated with surgeries that can be performed to remove these tumors must be evaluated due to perioperative complications.

Backround: Pancreaticojejunal anastomosis has a high risk of pancreatic leakage, which several surgical techniques have been described. Our main objective is to determine what is the association of postoperative pancreatic leakage in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy according to the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis technique used (Cattel vs Blumgart)?
Material And Methods: Historical cohort, all cancer patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy were included. From April 2020 to May 2021, Cattel technique was used; from June 2021 to June 2022, Blumgart technique was used.
