Description
Summary:It is needed to ensure bowel and biliary tract continuity after pancreaticoduodenectomies. It is possible to find a variety of reconstruction methods in literature. We realized a modified reconstruction method by performing proximal gastrojejunostomy, on a jejunal loop after Whipple's pancreticoduodenectomy, with surgical succes in 7 patients with pancreatic head or periampullary carcinomas in a low-volume hospital 2009-2017. A modified jejunal loop reconstruction method, was performed in 7 patients after Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy. We had no perioperative mortality. Pancreatic fistula treated with medical attempts was observed following post-operative pancreatitis in a patient. No marginal ulceration was observed. Delayed gastric emptying was not observed, except for post-operative acute pancreatitis and pancreatic fistula developing in a patient. A modified reconstruction method by performing proximal gastrojejunostomy on a jejunal loop, can be considered as alternative reconstructive surgical procedure after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
