Jejunal Scarf-Covering Method in Pancreaticojejunostomy after Total Gastrectomy

Pancreatic fistula is the most serious postoperative complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and it leads to intra-abdominal abscess, sepsis, hemorrhage and high mortality. To prevent pancreatic fistula, wrapping of skeletonized vessels and the anastomotic site of the pancreaticoenterostomy usin...

description Pancreatic fistula is the most serious postoperative complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and it leads to intra-abdominal abscess, sepsis, hemorrhage and high mortality. To prevent pancreatic fistula, wrapping of skeletonized vessels and the anastomotic site of the pancreaticoenterostomy using the round ligament, greater omentum, or both has been evaluated. However, the round ligament and greater omentum have already been resected in patients who have previously undergone total gastrectomy, making them unavailable in pancreaticoduodenectomy. Therefore, we developed a procedure for wrapping the anastomotic site of the pancreaticojejunostomy using the jejunum, namely the ‘jejunal scarf-covering method’ as a novel technique to prevent pancreatic fistula following pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients who have previously undergone total gastrectomy.
