A secured technique for pancreatojejunal anastomosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy

T Manabe et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1986 Oct.

Abstract

In order to avoid complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy, a simple and safe technique for pancreatojejunal anastomosis was developed. After resection of the pancreas, a vinyl chloride tube with a circumferential knot is inserted into the pancreatic duct and tied with a Dexon suture. Pancreatojejunal anastomosis is performed by approximating the seromuscular layer of the jejunum around the opening to the parenchymal tissue of the pancreas with interrupted nylon sutures, eliminating the need for direct anastomosis between the duct and jejunum. The knot on the tube prevents the tube from dislodging, and pancreatic juice is completely drained until the tube is safely removed two to three weeks after the operation.
