Brief Summary

Pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. To reduce pancreatic fistula, many authors recommend pancreatic stent in pancreatojejunostomy. There are two distinct methods of pancreatic stent insertion: internal stent and external stent. There was few studies comparing these methods in preventing pancreatic fistula. Furthermore, its long-term effect was not known enough. The purpose of this study is to determine which is the best method in preventing pancreatic fistula and to investigate its long term clinical outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • evidence of pancreatic fistula confirmed by serum and drain amylase

    within the first 7 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function by blood test, stool exam (steatorrhea) and computed tomography (CT) volumetry

    within the first 1 year after surgery

Study Arms (2)

External stent

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Feeding tube insert at pancreatojejunostomy site as a stent. And stent tube is brought out through jejunal loop below the hepaticojejunostomy site and abdominal wall.

Procedure: Pancreatic stent

Internal stent

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

short(5cm)internal stent insertion at pancreatojejunostomy site

Procedure: Pancreatic stent

Interventions

Feeding tube insert at pancreatojejunostomy site as a stent. And then 1) tube is brought out through jejunal loop below the hepaticojejunostomy site and abdominal wall(external stent)or 2) tube is cut short (5cm length) and left in situ with fixating suture. In external stent group, tube will be removed about 1 months after operation.
