Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to make a step for evaluation and presentation of a safe technique for pancreatico-jejunostomy that help in minimizing post-operative morbidity and mortality in pancreatic cancer patient by comparing Blumgart anastomosis with Cattell warren technique of anastomosis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Post-Operative Pancreatic Fistula

    We used the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) definition which is any measurable pancreatic fluid output after postoperative day 3 (containing more than three times the normal serum amylase level; more than 300 IU/L) with clinical signs of an infection and/or necessitating a change in clinical management.

    Up to 10 days after the operation

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Biliary leakage

    Up to 10 days after the operation

  • Post-Operative bleeding

    1-3 weeks

  • Hospital Stay

    Immediate after surgery and until the discharge of the patient ,including the readmission within the first 30 days after the operation

  • Operative Time

    During the operation

  • primary or reactionary hemorrhage

    During the operation and within the first 24 hours after the operation

Interventions

The anti-mesenteric border of the jejunal loop proximal to the hepatico-jejunostomy is brought against the pancreatic stump. With the pancreatic stump retracted by the stay sutures, the transected end of pancreatic duct is first identified and secured by means of a blunt tipped probe. Each trans-pancreatic, suture was performed using a single Polydioxanone (PDS) 3 -0 blunt needle. We usually take 4 sutures, 2 on each side of the duct. The process is repeated in the same manner with the remaining sutures which are tightened at the end to approximate the jejunum loop to the stump. A small stab incision is then made at the anti-mesenteric border of the jejunum and a duct to mucosa anastomosis is constructed using an interrupted 5-0 Prolene. The process is completed by placing each of the retained needles through the seromuscular layer of the anterior jejunal wall and each knot is tied over the jejunal wall which is then warped over the cut end of the stump

Blumgart Anastomosis

It is a two layer, interrupted, end to side pancreatico-jejunostomy. First an interrupted sutures between the posterior capsule and the seromuscular layer of the jejunum was constructed using PDS 3-0 , then a duct to mucosa interrupted sutures were taken using PDS 5-0 and finally interrupted sutures between the anterior capsule and the jejunum . The main difference here is that the sutures are taken in a conventional way which is tangential to the pancreatic capsule and parenchyma
