["Telescopic" pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis after duodenocephalopancreatectomy for cancer].

The Authors report their experience and a review of the literature on the "telescopic" pancreatojejunostomy following pancreatoduodenectomy. The alternative modalities proposed for the management of the pancreatic stump and their results are also described. Although no technique seems free from complications, the relatively low rate of anastomotic leaking (7.9%) encountered convinced the Authors to adopt this technique on routine basis.
