The Tight Adaptation at Pancreatic Anastomosis Without Parenchymal Laceration: An Institutional Experience in Introducing and Modifying the New Procedure

Abstract

A unique concept of Blumgart pancreatic anastomosis, i.e., utilizing the jejunum as an interstitial cushion to prevent pancreatic laceration at the knot site, has become realistic through a simple "one step" modification. This technique, also providing flexible handling space at main pancreatic duct anastomosis, should contribute to the improved PF prevention and shortening the POHS.
