Application value of pancreaticojejunostomy with double-layer continuous suture in total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the application value of pancreaticojejunostomy with double-layer continuous suture in total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD).Methods The retrospective crosssectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 21 patients who underwent TLPD with pancreaticojejunostomy using double-layer continuous suture in the Second Hospital of Jilin University between January and December 2017 were collected.The anastomosis used Child method,and pancreaticojejunostomy,choledochojejunostomy and gastroenteric anastomosis in turn were done.Observation indicators(1) surgical and postoperative recovery;(2) postoperative pathological examination;(3) follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival and tumor recurrence or metastasis up to February 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (P25,P75).Results (1) Surgical and postoperative recovery21 patients underwent successful TLPD with pancreaticojejunostomy with double-layer continuous suture.The operation time,time of pancreaticojejunostomy and volume of intraoperative blood loss were respectively (352±25)minutes,(46±8)minutes and (168±34) mL.There was no intraoperative blood transfusion.The time of postoperative abdominal drainage-tube removal was (10.1±4.4)days.Of 21 patients,12 were complicated with biochemical fistula,and 3 with grading B of pancreatic fistula (pancreatic duct in type Ⅱ),and they were improved by inhibiting pancreatic secretion and drainage patency.There was no occurrence of biliary fistula,chylous fistula,postoperative bleeding,abdominal infection and delayed gastric emptying.The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 21 patients was (11.3± 2.0) days.(2) Postoperative pathological examinationsurgical margins of 21 patients were negative.The pathological type8,6,4,2 and 1 patients were diagnosed as distal bile duct cancer,ampulla cancer,duodenal papilla and duodenal cancer,pancreatic head cancer and neuroendocrine cancer of ampulla,respectively.(3) Follow-up and survival situations21 patients were followed up for 3-12 months,with a median time of 7 months.During the follow-up,all the patients survived,and there was no tumor recurrence and metastasis.Conclusion Pancreaticojejunostomy with double-layer continuous suture is safe and feasible for TLPD,with advantages of exact anastomosis effect and good application value.
