Background: The pancreaticojejunostomy has notoriously been known to carry a high rate of operative complications;
morbidity, and mortality mainly due to anstomotic leak and ensuing septic complications.
Patients and methods: From January 2012 to October 2015, we presented a prospective study which included 24
patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD) operation through either Whipple resection or modified
Whipple(pylorus-preserving).Patients were reviewed and divided into 2 groups (A,B ) according to the type of
pancreaticojejunostomy( PJ), (invagination vs duct-to-mucosa ).
Results: 24 patients were operated on: Group A; twelve patients had invagination technique for PJ ,while the twelve
patients in group B had duct â??to-mucosa anastomotic technique for PJ,1 (8.3%)case in group A developed pancreatic
fistula (PF),while 3 (25%) cases in group B developed PF, and 1 case (8.3%) in group A had mild anastomotic
leak which was managed conservatively, while 3 cases (25%) in group B developed moderate to severe anastomotic
leak with intra-abdominal collection which required CT-guided percutaneous drainage and operative intervention.
Average age was (mean ± SD)= (55±12),average operative time was (245±75) min.
Conclusions: P. Fistula after PD represents an alarming trigger of potentially life-threatening complications.
Although the best method for dealing with the pancreatic stump after PD remains controversial, many reports
described that with the invagination technique; the rate of PF could decrease significantly compared to the duct-tomucosa
technique.
Keywords: Pancreatic fistula (PF), pancreaticodudenectomy (PD), pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ).
