title: [Polypropylene mesh wrap around reinforced pancreatojejunostomy for soft pancreas].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the preventive effect of a new anastomotic technique upon pancreatic leakage-polypropylene mesh wrap around reinforced pancreatojejunostomy on soft pancreas.
  
  
  METHODS
  From August 2005 to August 2008, polypropylene mesh wrap around reinforced pancreatojejunostomy was performed on 24 cases of pancreatodudeonectomy with soft pancreas.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operating duration was 5 to 7.5 hours. The mean duration of performing pancreatojejunostomy was 25 min. Blood loss was 200 to 1, 500 ml. All patients recovered without pancreatic leakage.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The polypropylene-mesh wrap around reinforced pancreatojejunostomy is a feasible and reliable procedure to prevent pancreatic leakage of soft pancreas.
