Effects of adding Braun jejunojejunostomy to standard Whipple procedure on reduction of afferent loop syndrome - a randomized clinical trial
Abstract
Background: Whipple surgery (pancreaticodeudenectomy) has a high complication rate. We aimed to evaluate whether adding Braun jejunojejunostomy (side-to-side anastomosis of afferent and efferent loops distal to the gastrojejunostomy site) to a standard Whipple procedure would reduce postoperative complications.
Methods: We conducted a randomized clinical trial comparing patients who underwent standard Whipple surgery (standard group) and patients who underwent standard Whipple surgery with Braun jejunojejunostomy (Braun group). Patients were followed for 1 month after the procedure and postoperative complications were recorded.
Results: Our study included 30 patients: 15 in the Braun and 15 in the standard group. In the Braun group, 4 (26.7%) patients experienced 6 complications, whereas in the standard group, 7 (46.7%) patients experienced 11 complications (p = 0.14). Complications in the Braun group were gastrointestinal bleeding and wound infection (n = 1 each) and delayed gastric emptying and pulmonary infection (n = 2 each). Complications in the standard group were death, pancreatic anastomosis leak and biliary anastomosis leak (n = 1 each); gastrointestinal bleeding (n = 2); and afferent loop syndrome and delayed gastric emptying (n = 3 each). There was no significant difference between groups in the subtypes of complications.
Conclusion: Our results showed that adding Braun jejunojejunostomy to standard Whipple procedure was associated with lower rates of afferent loop syndrome and delayed gastric emptying. However, more studies are needed to define the role of Braun jejunojejunostomy in this regard.

Contexte: La chirurgie de Whipple (pancréatoduodénectomie) s’accompagne de taux de complications élevés. Nous avons voulu vérifier si l’ajout d’une jéjunojéjunostomie de Braun (anastomose latérolatérale des anses afférente et efférente à la partie distale de la gastrojéjunostomie) à une chirurgie de Whipple standard permet de réduire les complications postopératoires.
Méthodes: Nous avons procédé à un essai clinique randomisé pour comparer des patients soumis à une chirurgie de Whipple standard (groupe standard) à des patients soumis à une chirugie de Whipple standard avec jéjunojéjunostomie de Braun (groupe Braun). Les patients ont été suivis pendant 1 mois après l’intervention et les complications postopératoires ont été notées.
Résultats: Notre étude a regroupé 30 patients : 15 dans le groupe Braun et 15 dans le groupe standard. Dans le groupe Braun, 4 patients (26,7 %) ont présenté 6 complications, tandis que dans le groupe standard, 7 patients (46,7 %) ont présenté 11 complications (p = 0,14). Les complications dans le groupe Braun ont été saignements gastro- intestinaux et infection de plaie (n = 1 chacun) et retard de la vidange gastrique et infection pulmonaire (n = 2 chacun). Les complications dans le groupe standard ont été décès, fuite de l’anastomose pancréatique et fuite de l’anastomose biliaire (n = 1 chacun); saignement gastro- intestinal (n = 2); et syndrome de l’anse afférente et retard de la vidange gastrique (n = 3 chacun). On n’a noté aucune différence significative entre les groupes pour ce qui est des sous-types de complications.
Conclusion: Nos résultats ont montré que l’ajout de la jéjunojéjunostomie de Braun à une chirurgie de Whipple standard a été associé à des taux moindres de syndrome de l’anse afférente et de retard de la vidange gastrique. Il faudra toutefois procéder à d’autres études pour définir le rôle de la jéjunojéjunostomie de Braun à cet égard.
