Pancreaticogastrostomy Is Superior to Pancreaticojejunostomy for Prevention of Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

In Brief Objective: To review prospective randomized controlled trials to determine whether pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) or pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is associated with lower risks of mortality and pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Background: Previous studies comparing reconstruction by PG and PJ reported conflicting results regarding the relative risks of mortality and pancreatic fistula after these procedures. Methods:...
