To examine the effect of pancreaticojejunostomy with pancreatic duct binding external drainage in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy.

The data of 21 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in the same treatment group from January 2017 to October 2019 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent pancreaticojejunostomy with external drainage of pancreatic ducts.There were 12 males and 9 females, aged (63.1±8.1)years old (range: 46 to 77 years old), body mass index (24.8±3.2)kg/m²(range: 18.8 to 29.1 kg/m²).There were 3 cases of hypertension, 5 cases of diabetes, 3 cases of hypertension and diabetes, 3 cases of liver cirrhosis.

Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy was successfully performed in all 21 patients.The operation time was (359.3±71.0)minutes, the pancreaticojejunostomy time was (23.8±7.4)minutes, the diameter of pancreatic duct was(3.3±0.6)mm, the intraoperative blood loss was (247.6±90.1)ml, the postoperative hospital stay was(13.7±4.9)days, the leakage of B-level fistula occurred in 1 case(4.8%), and there was no C-level pancreatic fistula.There were 3 cases of bile leakage, 1 case of incision infection, 2 cases of gastroparesis, 1 case of hydrops abdominis, no death and secondary operation.

It is a simple and easy method of pancreatoenterostomy with pancreatic duct binding external drainage, which can reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula and related complications after laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy for patients with high risk pancreatic fistula.
