Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Pancreaticogastrostomy versus pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy: a meta-analysis of randomized control trials.
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (PF) is the leading morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The pancreatoenteric anastomosis method after PD is associated with the occurrence of PF. Evidence shows that pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) is possibly superior to pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) in reducing the incidence of PF after PD; however, this remains to be definitively confirmed. ⋯ PG seemed to be superior to PJ in reducing the incidence of PF and intra-abdominal fluid collection after PD.
