Effect of six-stitch pancreaticojejunostomy on pancreatic fistula: A propensity score-matched comparative cohort study

Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) is the most common and severe complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Despite the development of numerous anastomotic surgical techniques to minimize CR-POPF, more than 30% of patients who undergo PD develop CR-POPF. Herein, we propose a novel pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) technique and evaluate its efficacy and safety compared to traditional PJ. This retrospective study...
