Trial Assessing Roux-en-Y Anastomosis of the Pancreatic Stump to Prevent Pancreatic Fistula Following Distal Pancreatectomy

July 20, 2016 updated by: Hiroki Yamaue, Wakayama Medical University

Roux-en-Y Anastomosis of the Pancreatic Stump Following Distal Pancreatectomy

The objective is to clarify Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the pancreatic stump decreases pancreatic fistula following distal pancreatectomy, compared with stapling closure of the pancreatic stump.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The objective of this study was to clarify Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the pancreatic stump prevents pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy (DP) compared to stapling closure of the pancreatic stump in a prospective randomized controlled trail.

Various methods and technique for treating surgical stump of the remnant pancreas have been reported to reduce pancreatic fistula after DP. However, appropriate surgical stump closure after DP is still controversial.

The primary endpoint in this trial was defined as the incidence of pancreatic fistula .

Active Comparator: Stapling closure of the pancreatic stump
Echelon 60 with a gold cartridge provide provides precise and uniform wide compression throughout the entire 60mm length with compressible thickness to 1.8mm, which can attach two triple-staggered rows of titanium staples.
