Abstract
- Abstract: Anastomotic leakage of pancreaticojejunostomy is a common problem and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after pancreatic resection. An appropriate technique to minimize pancreatic leakage is very important. Recently we have performed a safe and simple mesh-reinforced pancreaticojejunostomy, by which a strip of polypropylene mesh is wrapped around the pancreatic stump in order to secure the end-to-end pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. No leakage developed in all 10 patients who received this procedure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
