| Abstract: | PurposePancreatic anastomosis and stump closure after partial pancreatectomy is the most critical step in pancreas surgery due to a high percentage of postoperative fistulas. Whether transverse cut side branches or the main pancreatic duct presents the source of this leak is still unknown. Thus, better understanding of the anatomy of the pancreatic duct system in the resection area could significantly improve the surgical technique and reduce complications. |
