Performing simple and safe dunking pancreaticojejunostomy using mattress sutures in pure laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy

Akihiro Cho et al. Surg Endosc. 2014 Jan.

Abstract

Background: Although recent technological developments and improved endoscopic procedures have further spread the application of laparoscopic pancreatic resection, laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy still presents major technical difficulties, such as when performing pancreatic-enteric anastomosis.

Methods: Laparoscopic dunking pancreaticojejunostomy using mattress sutures was performed in 15 consecutive patients with a soft pancreas and a nondilated pancreatic duct between October 2011 and December 2012.

Results: According to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula criteria, 3 patients developed PF (grade A), whereas the remaining 12 patients did not.

Conclusions: Dunking pancreaticojejunostomy using mattress sutures is considered to be a feasible and safe method for performing pure laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.
