ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the significance of double pancreatico-jejunostomy in preventing pan-creatic fistula after central pancreatectomy (CP). Methods The clinical data of 10 patients who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from Feb. 2012 to Dec. 2018 were analyzed retro-spectively. Results All the 10 patients underwent CP, closure of the proximal pancreatic stump, and end-to-side invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy; At the same time, invaginated pancreaticojejunal anastomosis or duct-to-mu-cosa pancreaticojejunostomy was performed to the distal pancreatic remnant. The duration of the operation was (240±60) min, and the average intraoperative blood loss was 300 ml. Incidence of pancreatic fistulas was 30％(3/10). There were no grade B or C pancreatic fistulas, or perioperative deaths. The duration of postoperative hospital stay varied from 9 to 25 days. Endocrine and exocrine functions were well maintained during the follow-ups of 7 months to 5 years, and no tumors recurred. Conclusions Although operation time and technical diffi-culty increase, central pancreatectomy using double pancreaticojejunostomy is safe, feasible, and appears to be as-sociated with a low rate of postoperative pancreatic fistulas.
