Abstract

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard surgical treatment for resectable pancreatic head cancer. After resections, the reconstruction of the gastrointestinal continuity could be performed in different fashions. The aim of this review is to evaluate the different techniques of enteric reconstruction of pancreatic stump after PD: Invagination pancreaticojejunostomy, binding pancreaticojejunostomy, duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy, Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy, and pancreaticogastrostomy. These gastric or enteric reconstructions are compared in terms of postoperative complications, postoperative pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, and mortality.
