Post-operative pancreatic fistula (PF) is the most dangerous complication of pancreatic surgery. We developed a new pancreaticojejunal anastomosis which has been proved to be effective in reducing the incidence of PF. In this method, we firstly do two â??Uâ? mattress sutures to embed the pancreas remnant into the lumen of jejunum and then tie and fix it, and then bind the jejunum remnant around the pancreas with a purse-string suture. We name this new pancreaticojejunal anastomosis: Double-â??Uâ? suture embedding and Pursestring binding pancreaticojejunostomy. We have launched a retrospective comparative clinical study to investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of double-â??Uâ? suture embedding and purse-string binding pancreaticojejunostomy. In this study, we investigated 106 consecutive patients who underwent double-â??Uâ? suture embedding and purse-string binding pancreaticojejunostomy (double-â??Uâ? group), as well as 102 consecutive patients who underwent traditional embedding pancreaticojejunostomy (traditional group) at our hospital from March, 2011 to March, 2015. The results show that compared with traditional group, double-â??Uâ? group has significantly lower PF rate and shorter hospital stay.
