Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Pancreaticogastrostomy versus pancreaticojejunostomy.
It has long been debated whether pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) or pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is the better choice for reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the two techniques. ⋯ The evidence from RCTs suggests that PG technique is associated with a lower rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal fluid collection than PJ.
