Isolated Pancreatic Loop With Modified Pancreaticojejunostomy

Modified Pancreaticojejunostomy Technique With Isolated Pancreatic Loop After Pancreaticoduodenectomy Reduces Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula: a Retrospective Study

The aim of the present study was to observe whether the modified pancreatico- jejunostomy (PJ ) technique with an isolated pancreatic loop would effectively reduce the POPF rate and overall morbidity after PD

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is widely regarded as the most threatening complication following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Its clinical impact and sequelae have been previously described and shown to contribute to the development of other morbid complications and high rates of mortality.

The aim of the present study was to observe whether the modified pancreatico- jejunostomy (PJ ) technique with an isolated pancreatic loop would effectively reduce the POPF rate and overall morbidity after PD.

Methods: We report our early experience using a modified PJ technique with an isolated pancreatic loop after after PD in 201 patients between January 2010 and December 2020.

Inclusion Criteria:

• age up to 30
