| Abstract | ||||
| Background: The anastomosis between the pancreatic stump and the gastrointestinal tract remains the most effective and safe method of controlling the pancreatic stump as it preserves the exocrine functions of the gland. The results of the previous literature seem contradictory. Patients and Methods: This study was performed on 40 patients. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A was managed by a division of the pancreas with linear stapler then dunking pancreaticojejunostomy, while group B was managed by a duct to mucosa pancreaticjejunostomy. The primary outcome was the incidence of pancreatic fistula. Results: Regarding the incidence of pancreatic fistula, group A showed a zero rate of pancreatic fistula while group B had 30% pancreatic leak. The mortality rate reached 15% in group B. Conclusion: Invagination technique by dividing the pancreas using the linear stapler then invagination appears superior to duct to mucosa technique as regards the incidence of pancreatic fistula. | ||||
