Pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy： A comparison between the two pancreaticojejunostomy methods for approximating the pancreatic parenchyma to the jejunal seromuscular layer： Interrupted vs continuous stitches

AIM： The purpose of this study is to find a better operative technique by comparing interrupted stitches with continuous stitches for the outer layer of the pancreaticojejunostomy, i.e. the stitches between the stump parenchyma of the pancreas and the jejunal seromuscular layer, and other risk factors for the incidence of pancreatic leakage.
METHODS： During the period January 1997 to October 2004, 133 patients have undergone the end-to-side and duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy with interrupted suture for outer layer of the pancreaticojejunostomy and 170 patients with a continuous suture at our institution by one surgeon.
RESULTS： There were no significant differences between the two groups in the diagnosis, texture of the pancreas, use of octreotide and pathologic stage. Pancreatic fistula occurred in 14 patients （11%） among the interrupted suture cases and in 10 （6%） among the continuous suture cases （P = 0.102）. Major pancreatic leakage developed in three interrupted suture patients （2%） and zero continuous suture patients （P = 0.026）. In multivariate analysis, soft pancreatic consistency （odds ratio, 5.5; 95% confidence interval 2.3-13.1） and common bile duct cancer （odds ratio, 3.7; 95%CI 1.6-8.5） were＇predictive of pancreatic leakage.
CONCLUSION： Pancreatic texture and pathology are the most important factors in determining the fate of pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and our continuous suture method was performed with significantly decreased occurrence of major pancreatic fistula. In conclusion, the continuous suture method is more feasible and safer in performing duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy.     

Pancreaticojejunostomy without stent (with video)

There is a high risk of anastomotic leakage following pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy or middle pancreatectomy in patients with a normal soft pancreas because of the abundant exocrine function. Therefore, pancreaticojejunostomy is generally performed using a stent tube (stented method). However, pancreaticojejunostomy with a certain duct-to-mucosa anastomosis does not always require a stent tube even in patients with a normal soft pancreas. We have performed pancreaticojejunostomy with duct-to-mucosa anastomosis without a stent tube (nonstented method) and obtained good results. The objective of this technique is to maintain adequate patency of the anastomosis using a fine atraumatic needle and monofilament suture. The pancreas, including the pancreatic duct, is sharply transected with a scalpel. Any arterial bleeding points on the pancreatic cut end are repaired with fine nonabsorbable sutures. The end-to-side anastomosis between the pancreas and jejunum consists of two layers of sutures. The outer layer is composed of the capsular parenchyma of the pancreas and the jejunal seromuscularis, and the inner layer is composed of the pancreatic duct with an adequate pancreatic parenchyma and the whole jejunal wall. Complete pancreaticojejunostomy using duct-to-mucosa anastomosis does not require a stent tube. This nonstented method can be considered one of the basic procedures for pancreaticojejunostomy because of its safety and reliability.     

Effect of a single layer continuous suture between pancreatic parenchyma and jejunum after duct-to-mucosa anastomosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy: a single surgeon's experiences

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of the present study is to ascertain the effect of a single layer continuous suture between pancreatic parenchyma and jejunum after duct-to-mucosa anastomosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy through a single surgeon's experiences. METHODOLOGY: From March 1, 2002 to March 31, 2005, among 512 patients who had pancreaticoduodenectomy at Asan Medical Center, 56 patients who had a single layer continuous suture between pancreatic parenchyma and jejunum after duct-to-mucosa anastomosis were selected consecutively for prospective study. RESULTS: There were 44 pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, 10 pancreaticoduodenectomy, 2 hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy. No pancreatic leakage was reported. All three wound infections recovered after conservative treatment, and a gastric ulcer bleeding was resolved by suture-ligation through laparotomy. There was no mortality after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Although it is a report with low surgical volume, a single layer continuous suture between pancreatic parenchyma and jejunum after duct-to-mucosa anastomosis in pancreaticoduodenectomy is thought to be a good method to prevent the complications of pancreatic leakage using a tight close attachment of pancreas and jejunum.     

End-to-end anastomosis after medial pancreatectomy for tumor

Reconstruction by pancreaticoenterostomy has generally been employed after medial pancreatectomy for tumor. As a less invasive procedure, here we report three patients who successfully underwent pancreatic end-to-end anastomosis after medial pancreatectomy. The subjects consisted of 2 patients with serous cystadenomas and 1 patient with an intraductal papillary mucinous tumor. These tumors were detected in the pancreatic neck or body, and the maximal tumor diameters ranged from 10 to 33mm. The pancreatic duct diameters were 2 mm in 2 patients and 4 mm in 1 patient. The procedure was carried out by ductal anastomosis and parenchymal anastomosis with interrupted sutures. A pancreatic tube was inserted for decompression at the anastomotic site in all patients. The mean operative time was 3 hours and 31 minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was 428 mL. Although pancreatic fistula was observed in 2 patients with the normal pancreas, conservative therapy relieved this complication. Neither tumor relapse nor stenosis of the pancreatic duct at the anastomotic site was detected in any patient, with a follow-up of 4 to 27 months. Our experience confirmed that in selected cases, this reconstructive procedure was feasible and safe for physiological reconstruction without involvement of the digestive tract.     

Pancreatogastrostomy (PG) after pancreatoduodenectomy with or without duct-to-mucosa anastomosis for the small pancreatic duct: short- and long-term results

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Pancreatogastrostomy, generally considered to pose less postoperative complications for a small-duct pancreas after pancreatoduodenectomy than pancreatojejunostomy, has usually been conducted with an invagination method, which can cause obstruction of the duct during the follow-up. The purpose of this study was to investigate the short- and long-term results with special reference to the patency of the main pancreatic duct after pancreatogastrostomy performed on a small-duct pancreas, combining an invagination technique with a duct-to-mucosa approximation. METHODOLOGY: Out of 73 patients with a nondilated pancreatic duct, 24 in an earlier series underwent pancreatogastrostomy only with an invagination. The other 49 in a later period had an additional duct-to-mucosa anastomosis. RESULTS: Four patients (5.5%) developed a minor anastomotic leak of the pancreas which healed uneventfully within 16-41 days without mortality. Long-term results revealed that the pancreatic duct tended to dilate after pancreatogastrostomy without mucosal adaptation, while the new method of pancreatogastrostomy with duct-to-mucosa anastomosis left the diameter of the pancreatic duct unchanged. Body weight and peripheral blood glycohemoglobin A1c retained preoperative levels, irrespective of the mucosal anastomosis. CONCLUSIONS: Pancreatogastrostomy with mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis appears to be a useful method of pancreatic reconstruction in both the short- and long-term.     

A modified reconstruction method to prevent critical complications after pancreatoduodenectomy

BACKGROUND/AIMS: A new method of reconstructing the pancreatic stump after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is necessary to improve the postoperative mortality rate. Thus, we modified the pancreatoenteric procedure to reduce anastomotic leakage from the pancreatic stump after PD, and we conducted a study to evaluate the usefulness of the new procedure on the basis of patients' postoperative condition. METHODOLOGY: We compared the postoperative condition of 21 patients who underwent PD with the new separated loop (SL) reconstruction (6 men, 11 women; mean age, 67.7+/-7.2 years) to that of 31 patients (12 men, 19 women; mean age, 66.8+/-10.3 years) who underwent PD with pancreatogastrostomy (PG). In the SL reconstruction procedure, the proximal jejunum is brought up behind the colon, and an end-to-side choledochojejunostomy is made with a single layer of interrupted sutures. Approximately 20cm of the jejunum is fitted with a fixed stomach tube for postoperative enteral feeding, and the cut proximal jejunum is positioned next to the pancreatic stump. A pancreatic tube is inserted into the lumen of the pancreatic duct and fixed without closing the pancreatic duct. Pancreatojejunostomy is achieved as an end-to-end anastomosis with the pancreatic stump telescoping into the proximal jejunum. Approximately 20cm of the jejunum is anastomosed side-to-end to the stomach, and end-to-side jejunojejunostomy is made to complete a Y-type reconstruction. Each patient's postoperative condition was also assessed on the basis of serum albumin (ALB), cholinesterase and total cholesterol (T-CHO) levels on postoperative days (PODs) 14 and 28. RESULTS: A high level of amylase in drainage fluid was noted in two (6.5%) and delayed gastric emptying in four (12.9%) of the patients in the PG group. There were no complications in the SL group. Postoperative levels of ALB on POD 14 and T-CHO on POD 28 were significantly higher than in the PG group. CONCLUSIONS: The SL method is safe and does not induce complications after PD. Our results indicate that this method may provide a favored outcome.     

Experimental study on operative methods of pancreaticojejunostomy with reference to anastomotic patency and postoperative pancreatic exocrine function

AIM： To assess the patency of pancreaticoenterostomy and pancreatic exocrine function after three surgical methods. METHODS： A pig model of pancreatic ductal dilation was made by ligating the main pancreatic duct. After 4 wk ligation, a total of 36 piglets were divided randomly into four groups. The piglets in the control group underwent laparotomy only; the others were treated by three anastomoses： （1） end-to-end pancreaticojejunostomy invagination （EEPJ）; （2） end-to-side duct-to- mucosa sutured anastomosis （ESPJ）; or （3） binding pancreaticojejunostomy （BPJ）. Anastomotic patency was assessed after 8 wk by body weight gain, intrapancreatic ductal pressure, pancreatic exocrine function secretin test, pancreatography, and macroscopic and histologic features of the anastomotic site. RESULTS： The EEPJ group had significantly slower weight gain than the ESPJ and BPJ groups on postoperative weeks 6 and 8 （P 〈 0.05）. The animals in both the ESPJ and BPJ groups had a similar body weight gain.Intrapancreatic ductal pressure was similar in ESPJ and BPJ. However, pressure in EEPJ was significantly higher than that in ESPJ and BPJ （P 〈 0.05）. All three functional parameters, the secretory volume, the flow rate of pancreatic juice, and bicarbonate concentration, were significantly higher in ESPJ and BPJ as compared to EEPJ （P 〈 0.05）. However, the three parameters were similar in ESPJ and BPJ. Pancreatography performed after EEPJ revealed dilation and meandering of the main pancreatic duct, and the anastomotic site exhibited a variable degree of occlusion, and even blockage. Pancreatography of ESPJ and BPJ, however, showed normal ductal patency. Histopathology showed that the intestinal mucosa had fused with that of the pancreatic duct, with a gradual and continuous change from one to the other. For EEPJ, the portion of the pancreatic stump protruding into the jejunal lumen was largely replaced by cicatricial fibrous tissue. CONCLUSION： A mucosa-to-mucosa pancreatico- jejuno     

Biliary reconstruction with wide-interval interrupted suture to prevent biliary complications in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation

Background/Purpose

Liver transplantation is an established therapy for children with end-stage chronic liver disease or acute liver failure. However, despite refinements of surgical techniques for liver transplantation, the incidence of biliary tract complications has remained high in recent years. Therefore, we suggest our anastomotic technique with wide-interval interrupted suture to prevent biliary complications in pediatric living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Methods

Forty-nine LDLTs were performed on 49 pediatric recipients with end-stage liver disease. Biliary reconstruction was performed using a 2.5× magnifying surgical loupe, via end bile duct to side Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (n?=?47) and duct-to-duct choledochocholedochostomy (n?=?2) with an external stent. A stay suture with 6-0 absorbable materials was placed at each end of the anastomotic orifice. Two interrupted sutures of the posterior row were performed. After completion of the suture of the posterior row, an external transanastomotic stent tube was inserted into the intrahepatic bile duct and was fixed with posterior row material. Finally, two interrupted sutures of the anterior wall were performed, totaling six stitches. The transanastomotic stent tube emerging out of the blind end of the Roux-en-Y limb was covered with a round ligament and was usually left in place for 1?month after the operation.

Results

The median follow-up period was 58.0?months (range 8?C135?months). In 33 recipients, the bile duct was used to perform the reconstruction with a single lumen. In 5 cases, there were 2 bile ducts that were formed to enable a single anastomosis. In 10 cases, there were 2 separated ducts and each duct was anastomosed with the recipient jejunum. In one case, there were 3 ducts that were formed to enable two anastomoses. Twenty-two percent of the living-donor grafts required 2 biliary anastomoses. Forty-four patients (89.8%) are alive (ranging from 8?months to 11?years), and 5 patients have died. Two patients had biliary complications, an anastomotic stricture in one (2.0%) and bile leakage in one. There were no complications due to anastomotic tubes.

Conclusions

Biliary reconstruction with wide-interval interrupted suture prevents anastomotic strictures and bile leakage in pediatric LDLT.     

Pancreatic juice output and amylase level in the drainage fluid after pancreatoduodenectomy in relation to leakage

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The objective of this study was to clarify the relationship between the consistency of the pancreas and pancreatic anastomotic leakage after pancreatectomy. METHODOLOGY: Sixty-two patients who underwent proximal pancreatectomy with pancreaticoenterostomy were reviewed with regard to the consistency of the pancreas, size of the main pancreatic duct, postoperative pancreatic juice output, and pancreatic leakage after partial pancreatoduodenectomy. The pancreatic parenchyma was classified as having soft, intermediate and hard consistency (group 1, 2 and 3, respectively). Monitoring the output of pancreatic juice and amylase level in the drainage fluid after operation for the purpose of detecting of dehiscence of pancreaticoenterostomy. RESULTS: The mean pancreatic juice output during a period of 10 days (postoperative days 5 to 14) was 2446 +/- 27 cc in group 1 (n = 26), 846 +/- 13.5 cc in group 2 (n = 19) and 460 +/- 8.1 cc in group 3 (n = 17). Anastomotic leakage occurred in four (15%) patients in group 1, three (15%) in group 2, and none in group 3. In patients with leakage, abrupt decrease or fluctuating output of pancreatic juice occurred and amylase level in the drainage fluid was more than 10,000 IU/L POD 7. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a pancreatic parenchyma with an intermediate or normal consistency produced more pancreatic juice and had a higher leak rate. Monitoring the output of pancreatic juice and amylase level in the drainage fluid after operation may provide a clue to the detection of dehiscence of pancreaticoenterostomy.     

PERCUTANEOUS PANCREATIC‐DUCT PUNCTURE WITH RENDEZVOUS TECHNIQUE CAN TREAT STENOTIC PANCREATICOJEJUNOSTOMY

Stenotic pancreatico‐enteric anastomosis is one of the serious late complications after a pancreaticoduodenectomy. We report a case of stenotic pancreaticojejunostomy with a pancreatic juice fistula drained externally, which was treated using percutaneous procedures combined with a rendezvous method. A 77‐year‐old woman was referred to our hospital for an endoscopic treatment to remove a percutaneous drainage tube from a fluid collection due to pancreatic juice fistula. She had undergone pylorus‐preserving pancreatoduodenectomy with Roux‐en‐Y reconstruction due to duodenal carcinoma of Vater's papilla 1 year before the referral to our hospital. Soon after the operation, she had developed a fluid collection adjacent to the anastomosis due to pancreatic juice fistulas and subsequently had undergone its percutaneous drainage. After admission, we tried to dilate the stenotic anastomosis with an endoscopic procedure from the anastomosed jejunal lumen, using an oblique‐viewing endoscope. The endoscope reached a portion of the anastomosis, but did not allow us to visualize the entire anastomosis. We punctured the main pancreatic duct under ultrasonography and fluoroscopy, and advanced the needle into the anastomosed jejunum through the stenotic anastomosis. After putting a guidewire into the anastomosed jejunum through the needle, we introduced an oblique‐viewing endoscope into the anastomosed jejunum and caught hold of the guidewire using grasping forceps. Maintaining tension on the guidewire with a slight pulling force, with some effort we were able to place a 5‐Fr drainage catheter into the jejunum percutaneously and through the anastomosis via the main pancreatic duct. Three weeks after these procedures, we performed balloon dilation of the anastomosis. One week after balloon dilation, removed the percutaneous catheter.
