Abstract
Pancreatoduodenectomy is a complex surgical procedure involving three anastomoses. Anastomosis of the pancreatic stump with the gastrointestinal tract is associated with most complications described in the postoperative period. So, there have been multiple attempts to discover safe and sound steps for this particular anastomosis. Pancreaticogastrostomy involves anastomosis between the remaining pancreas and stomach. Since it was first performed, its surgical steps have been modified multiple times, but there is no gold standard method to perform it. In this paper, we describe the surgical steps of pancreaticogastrostomy in difficult pancreatic stumps in eight patients using two transpancreatic sutures, one purse string suture, and the incorporation of transpancreatic sutures in the third layer of the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis. Postoperative outcomes of this series have provided encouraging short-term results.

Abstract
Objective: To introduce laparoscopic neo-pancreaticogastrostomy (neo-PG) and investigate its application potential in total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD). Materials and Methods: We performed a single-center prospective single-arm trial to evaluate the feasibility and safety of neo-PG for its initial application in TLPD. The first 50 patients who were operated by a single surgeon and who underwent TLPD with neo-PG at our institution were recruited. The pre/intra/postoperation data were collected and analyzed. Results: Twenty-nine male patients and 21 female patients from May 2022 to March 2023 were included. The mean operation time was 272.60 ± 47.30 minutes. The median PG time was 16 (15, 23) minutes. Six patients had delayed gastric emptying (DGE), and all underwent standard LPD. None of the patients had Grade B/C postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) or postoperative hemorrhage, or underwent reoperation. The median length of post-LPD hospital stay was 6 (6, 8) days. None of the patients died within 90 days after surgery. Nineteen cases were pathologically classified as pancreatic lesion, 6 cases as bile duct lesion, 18 cases as duodenal lesion, and 7 cases as ampullary lesion. Conclusion: The laparoscopic neo-PG is a simple, safe, and feasible pancreatic anastomosis that can be applied in TLPD. Pylorus-preserving LPD may decrease DGE rate. Further studies involving more surgeons are warranted to prove that our new technique may terminate POPF in TLPD.

Pancreaticogastrostomy versus Pancreaticojejunostomy and the Proposal of a New Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula Risk Score. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6193. [PMID: 37834836 PMCID: PMC10573877 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12196193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite the substantial decrease in mortality rates following a pancreaticoduodenectomy to less than 5%, morbidity rates remain significant, reaching even 73%. Postoperative pancreatic fistula is one of the most frequent major complications and is significantly associated with other complications, including patient death. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the ideal type of pancreatic anastomosis, as the question of the choice between a pancreaticogastrostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy is still open. Furthermore, worldwide implementation of an ideal pancreatic fistula risk prediction score is missing. Our study found several significant predictive factors for the postoperative occurrence of fistulas, such as the soft consistency of the pancreas, non-dilated Wirsung duct, important intraoperative blood loss, other perioperative complications, preoperative patient hypoalbuminemia, and patient weight loss. Our study also revealed that for patients who exhibit fistula risk factors, pancreaticogastrostomy demonstrates a significantly lower pancreatic fistula rate than pancreaticojejunostomy. The occurrence of pancreatic fistulas has been significantly associated with the development of other postoperative major complications, and patient death. As the current pancreatic fistula risk scores proposed by various authors have not been consensually validated, we propose a simple, easy-to-use, and sensitive score for the risk prediction of postoperative pancreatic fistula occurrence based on important predictors from statistical analyses that have also been found to be significant by most of the reported studies. The new pancreatic fistula risk score proposed by us could be extremely useful for improved therapeutic management of cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy patients.
