New technique of pancreaticojejunal anastomosis after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy.

The authors propose a new technique of pancreaticojejunal anastomosis after pancreatoduodenectomy with the aim of reducing the incidence of anastomotic disruption and late stenosis of the duct. Basically the technique consists of end-to-end pancreaticojejunal anastomosis with invagination of the pancreas into the intestinal loop and mucosal juxtaposition of the pancreatic duct and jejunum.
