title: [Pancreato-gastric anastomosis after cephalic duodenopancreatectomy. Apropos of 36 cases].
abstract: After pancreaticoduodenal resection, a pancreatic fistula is observed in 10% of cases with a mortality rate of 20-30%. The pancreatogastrostomy was evaluated as an alternative method of restoring pancreaticointestinal continuity. From 1989 to 1991, 36 patients have undergone pancreatogastrostomy, after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The mortality rate was 2.7% (one pulmonary embolism). The morbidity rate was 2.7% (one pancreatic fistula). A endoscopic examination with injection of pancreatic duct was performed in 12 patients: in 9 cases we had a visualization of the anastomosis between the stomach and the pancreatic duct. These results confirm that pancratogastrostomy is a safe method of pancreatic drainage after pancreatoduodenectomy.
