ABSTRACT
Objective To study a rational method of pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical material of 108 cases of bundle-invagination(pancreaticojejunostomy) after pancreatoduodenectomy performed from Jan 1996 to Dec 2003 in our department.Results The operative time was 3.5~4.5 hours.No perioperative death nor pancreatic fistula occurred.One diabetic patient developed biliary fistula on the 8~(th) post-operative day and it healed spontaneously after drainage.Two cases had wound dehiscence that healed after tension relaxation suture.Two cases of(postoperative) gastroparesis recovered after conservative treatment.Conclusions The bundle-invagination(pancreaticojejunostomy) can more effectively prevent pancreatic fistula and have less operation time.
