Development and validation of a novel pancreaticojejunostomy strategy based on the anatomical location of the main pancreatic duct that can reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a common complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The effect of the location of the main pancreatic duct on POPF development is not completely elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the association between the location of the main pancreatic duct and POPF, and the effect of pancreaticojejunostomy based on the location of the main pancreatic duct on the risk of POPF.

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled 871 patients who underwent PD between January 2018 and December 2021. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors associated with POPF. Predictive performance was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curves. In addition, a novel pancreaticojejunostom
