Pancreatic Stump Closure After Distal Pancreatic Resection

April 9, 2014 updated by: Anne Antila, Tampere University Hospital

Prospective Randomized Study to Decrease Pancreatic Fistula Rate

The aim of this study is to investigate whether finnish binding pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis is feasible and prevents the risk for post operative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreeatectomy.
