Pancreaticogastrostomy for High-Risk Pancreas (GASTROPAN)

Double Purse-String Telescoped Pancreaticogastrostomy for High Risk Anastomosis: A 6-Year Single Center Case-Controlled Study

In 2013, a double purse-string telescoped pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) technique appeared to significantly reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). This study compared the incidence of clinically relevant POPF in patients with high-risk anastomosis after undergoing PG or pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) techniques.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

From 2013 to 2019, consecutive patients with high-risk anastomosis (i.e., updated alternative-Fistula Risk Score (ua-FRS) >20%) underwent pancreatoduodenectomy with either the PJ or PG technique. Optimal mitigation strategy (external stenting and octreotide omission) was applied for all patients. The primary endpoint of the study was the incidence of clinically relevant POPF. Data were entered prospectively into an institutional clinical database (NCT02871336).
