    Pancreatic fistula is a complication of pancreatoduodenectomy for periampullary carcinoma. Duct-to-mucosa anastomosis is preferred for pancreatic stump management, with invagination as a viable alternative when needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Abdominal Surgery

    Background:

    • Pancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) is a complex surgery for periampullary tumors.
    • Postoperative pancreatic fistula is a significant complication impacting patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze technical challenges and outcomes of pancreatoduodenectomy.
    • To evaluate management strategies for pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy.
    • To compare techniques for pancreatic stump reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 20 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy for periampullary carcinoma.
    • Analysis of complications, focusing on pancreatic fistula.
    • Evaluation of different pancreatico-jejunostomy techniques, including duct-to-mucosa anastomosis and invagination.

    Main Results:

    • Five patients (25%) developed pancreatic fistula.
    • Three patients with fistula recovered with conservative management (drainage and total parenteral nutrition).
    • One patient required reoperation for pancreatico-jejunostomy, and one patient (5%) died from sepsis and liver failure.

    Conclusions:

    • Duct-to-mucosa anastomosis is the preferred technique for pancreatic stump closure.
    • Invagination of the pancreatic stump provides satisfactory results when duct-to-mucosa anastomosis is not feasible.
    • Effective management of pancreatic fistula is crucial for improving patient survival after pancreatoduodenectomy.
