Abstract
Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) or leak from pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is one of the most common complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), with an incidence of 5%–30%. Various techniques have been advocated to bring down the incidence of POPF, but there is still none that can be called the “gold standard”. Peng's binding PJ (BPJ) was proposed as a good method of performing PJ with low fistula rates; we present our results with BPJ. Methods: The data of all patients who underwent PD with BPJ between January 2016 and March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed for demographics, clinical features, type of procedure performed, complications (especially POPF), hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality. Results: A total of 24 patients (18 males and 6 females) were identified. The mean age at the diagnosis was 65.5 ± 6.4 years. Majority of the patients had ampullary carcinoma (62.5%). The most common postoperative complication was delayed gastric emptying seen in 10 patients, whereas only 2 (8.33%) had POPF and there was one mortality. Conclusion: BPJ is safe and is associated with a low incidence of POPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common critical complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and a primary reason for increased mortality and morbidity after PD. To perform a safe pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ), a fast and simple technique of duct-to-mucosa PJ with one-layer suture was devised at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 81 successive cases of PD performed at our hospital from March 2012 to August 2016. Data of perioperative parameters were collected for all PD cases. RESULTS A total of 17 (21.0%) cases of morbidity occurred after PD, including 5 (6.1%) cases of POPF (grade A), 8 (9.8%) cases of delayed gastric emptying, 1 (1.2%) case of abdominal infection, and 3 (3.7%) cases of incision infection. The median operative time for the PJ was 7 min. No mortality or relaparotomy was observed. CONCLUSION Our technique could significantly reduce the incidence of POPF and other complications after PD and may be a promising technique for pancreaticoenteric anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (grades B and C of the ISGPS definition) remains the most troublesome complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. The approach to management of the pancreatic remnant via some form of pancreatico-enteric anastomosis determines the incidence and severity of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula. Despite numerous trials comparing diverse pancreatico-enteric anastomosis techniques and other adjunctive strategies (pancreatic duct stenting, somatostatin analogues, etc), currently, there is no clear consensus regarding the ideal method of pancreatico-enteric anastomosis. METHODS An international panel of pancreatic surgeons working in well-known, high-volume centers reviewed the best contemporary literature concerning pancreatico-enteric anastomosis and worked to develop a position statement on pancreatic anastomosis after pancreatoduodenectomy. RESULTS There is inherent risk assumed by creating a pancreatico-enteric anastomosis based on factors related to the gland (eg, parenchymal texture, disease pathology). None of the technical variations of pancreaticojejunal or pancreaticogastric anastomosis, such as duct-mucosa, invagination method, and binding technique, have been found to be consistently superior to another. Randomized trials and meta-analyses comparing pancreaticogastrostomy versus pancreaticojejunostomy yield conflicting results and are inherently prone to bias due to marked heterogeneity in the studies. The benefit of stenting the pancreatico-enteric anastomosis to decrease clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula is not supported by high-level evidence. While controversial, somatostatin analogues appear to decrease perioperative complications but not mortality, although consistent data across the more than 20 studies addressing this topic are lacking. The Fistula Risk Score is useful for predicting postoperative pancreatic fistula as well as for comparing outcomes of pancreatico-enteric anastomosis across studies. CONCLUSION Currently, no specific technique can eliminate development of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula. While consistent practice of any standardized technique may decrease the rate of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula, experienced surgeons can have lower postoperative pancreatic fistula rates performing a variety of techniques depending on the clinical situation. There is no clear evidence on the benefit of internal or external stenting after pancreatico-enteric anastomosis. The use of somatostatin analogues may be important in decreasing morbidity after pancreatoduodenectomy, but it remains controversial. Future studies should focus on novel approaches to decrease the rate of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula with appropriate risk adjustment.

Abstract
Pancreatic surgeons try to find the best technique for reconstruction after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in order to decrease postoperative complications, mainly pancreatic fistulas (PF). In this work, we compare the two most frequent techniques of reconstruction after PD, pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) and pancreatogastrostomy (PG), in order to determine which of the two is better. A systematic review of the literature was performed, including major meta-analysis articles, clinical randomized trials, systematic reviews, and retrospective studies. A total of 64 articles were finally included. PJ and PG are usually responsible for most of the postoperative morbidity, mainly due to the onset of PF, being considered a major trigger of life-threatening complications such as intra-abdominal abscess and hemorrhagia. The included systematic reviews reported a significant difference only in the incidence of intraabdominal collections favouring PG. PF, delayed gastric emptying and mortality were not different. Although there was heterogeneity between these studies, all were conducted in specialized centers by highly experienced surgeons, and the surgical care was likely to be similar for all the studies. The disadvantages of PG include an increased incidence of delayed gastric emptying and of main pancreatic duct obstruction due to overgrowth by the gastric mucosa. Exocrine function appears to be worse after PG than after PJ, resulting in severe atrophic changes in the remnant pancreas. Depending on the type of PJ or PG used, the PF rate and other complications can also be different. The best method to deal with the pancreatic stump after PD remains questionable. The choice of method of pancreatic anastomosis could be based on individual experience and on the surgeon’s preference and adherence to basic principles such as good exposure and visualization. In conclusion, up to now none of the techniques can be considered superior or be recommended as standard for reconstruction after PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic fistula (PF) is one of the most common complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We described a new method of pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) developed by combining triple-layer duct-to-mucosa PJ with resection of jejunal serosa, which was named as modified layer-to-layer PJ (MLLPJ). The aim of the present study was to observe whether the new technique would effectively reduce the PF rate in comparison with two-layer duct-to-mucosa PJ (TLPJ). METHODS Data on 184 consecutive patients who underwent the two methods of PJ after standard PD between January 1, 2010 and January 31, 2013 were collected retrospectively from a prospective database. The primary endpoint was the PF rate. The risk factors of PF were investigated by using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 88 patients received TLPJ and 96 underwent MLLPJ. Rate of PF for the entire cohort was 8.2%. There were 11 fistulas (12.5%) in the TLPJ group and four fistulas (4.2%) in the MLLPJ group (P = 0.039). Body mass index, pancreatic texture, pancreatic duct diameter, and methods of PJ anastomosis had significant effects on the formation of PF on univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm and TLPJ were the significant risk factors of PF. CONCLUSIONS MLLPJ effectively reduces the PF rate after PD in comparison with TLPJ. Results confirm increased PF rates in patients with pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm compared with pancreatic duct diameter >3 mm.
