Operación de Whipple: Pancreático yeyuno anastomosis Presentación de una nueva técnica en el Hospital E. Rebagliati M. Essalud

Abstract

Pancreatojejunostomy leakage is the major cause of complications after duodeno pancreatectomy. This study assessed a new technique of pancreatic jejunal anastomosis ( Blumgart anastomosis, BA), avoiding the cutting forces during suture tying.

We performed a descriptive, prospective and crosssectional assessment of patients with periampullary neoplasms during December 2009 to November 2010.

The results showed a postoperative mortality of 3%, 8.82% presented pancreatic leak, with an average hospital stay
of 11 to 20 days.

The reconstruction of the pancreatic stump with the Blumgart technique seems to be fast, easy and safe for pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis. Reduced leakage rates and surgical complications after proximal pancreaticoduodenectomy could be achieved with it.
