Abstract
Purpose: This study compared the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) between standard invagination pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) and an improved PJ technique after pancreaticoduodenectomy and evaluated the clinical utility of the improved PJ procedure.
Methods: Clinical and postoperative data of 363 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from February 2018 to October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. In our cohort, 155 patients underwent the improved PJ technique (group A), and 208 underwent standard invagination PJ (group B). Data on demographic characteristics, pathological nature, intraoperative factors, and postoperative complications, including POPF, were collected and analyzed.
Results: There were no significant between-group differences in demographic characteristics (p > 0.05). The improved PJ technique was associated with a significantly lower incidence of clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF) in the total cohort (11.6 % vs. 26.4 %, p < 0.001) and in the subgroup with high fistula risk scores (16.0 % vs. 38.6 %, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The improved invagination PJ technique reduces the incidence of CR-POPF and improves prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Pancreatology is the official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP), the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) and several national societies and study groups around the world. Dedicated to the understanding and treatment of exocrine as well as endocrine pancreatic disease, this multidisciplinary periodical publishes original basic, translational and clinical pancreatic research from a range of fields including gastroenterology, oncology, surgery, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology as well as endocrinology, immunology and epidemiology. Readers can expect to gain new insights into pancreatic physiology and into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapeutic approaches and prognosis of pancreatic diseases. The journal features original articles, case reports, consensus guidelines and topical, cutting edge reviews, thus representing a source of valuable, novel information for clinical and basic researchers alike.
