A different suturing method of the duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy for the normal pancreatic duct in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy

J Minim Access Surg. 2021 Jul-Sep;17(3):412-414. doi: 10.4103/jmas.JMAS_298_20.

Abstract

Although laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is safe and widely used in clinical practice, pancreaticojejunostomy is still one of the most challenging parts of LPD surgery. We introduce a simpler method of pancreaticoenterostomy which reduces the technical complexity and produces acceptable results.

Keywords: laparoscopic; pancreaticoduodenectomy; pancreaticojejunostomy.
