Abstract
Pancreatico-enteric anastomosis is the most critical procedure in pancreaticoduodenectomy, because post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) sometimes causes severe morbidity and even mortality. Since pancreaticoduodenectomy was introduced in 1935, countless techniques were conducted to reduce the POPF. However, until now, no standardized method was established. Any type of anastomosis has advantages as well as disadvantages. Thus, which method to choose may vary depending on the operator’s preference and experience. Regarding stent insertion, there are various reports about the choice of internal or external stent. Also, there is controversy regarding the usefulness of stent insertion. Herein, we introduce two most frequently performed techniques of pancreatico-enteric anastomosis and transhepatic external drainage technique of pancreatic juice after anastomosis.
