Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of " two-stitch" fashion in laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) for patients with fine pancreatic duct (<3 mm).Methods:Clinical data of 32 patients with pancreatic duct diameter <3 mm undergoing laparoscopic PJ using the " two-stitch" fashion between Apr 2021 and Jun 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 males and 12 females, aged (61.2±23.7) years. Among the patients, there were 23 (71.9%) patients of periampullary tumor and 9 (28.1%) of central pancreatic tumor. 23 (71.9%) patients underwent laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) and nine (28.1%) underwent laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP). All patients underwent the " two-stitch" fashion of laparoscopic PJ (one stitch each on the ventral and dorsal sides of pancreas for duct-to-mucosal anastomosis). The operation time, PJ time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications (pancreatic fistula, gallbladder leakage, abdominal cavity infection, etc) and mortality were recorded.Result:All patients underwent the " two stitch" laparoscopic PJ successfully, 23(71.9%) patients underwent laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) and nine (28.1%) underwent laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP). The operation time was (279.3±115.8) min, the PJ time was (31.9±12.2) min, and the postoperative hospital stay was (13.4±8.3) d. Grade B pancreatic fistula occurred in six cases (18.8%, four of LPD and two of LCP), delayed gastric emptying in one case of LPD (3.1%), abdominal infection in three cases (9.4%, two of LPD and one of LCP), biliary fistula in two cases (6.3%, LPD). There were no grade C pancreatic fistula. All patients with postoperative complications were managed with conservative treatment.Conclusion:Laparoscopic " two stitch" PJ for patients with fine pancreatic duct (<3 mm) is safe and feasible.

Objective: To study the feasibility of using a double purse-string bridging pancreaticojejunostomy in total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD). Methods: A database of 35 patients who underwent TLPD using a double purse-string bridging pancreaticojejunostomy from January 2016 to January 2019 in Jinhua Hospital of Zhejiang University was retrospectively reviewed. The perioperative outcomes were analyzed. Results: All the 35 patients underwent TLPD successfully. The surgery time was (370.2±33.5) min, and the time of constructing the pancreaticojejunostomy was (28.4±12.6) min. The hospital stay after surgery was (14.2±6.9) days. Five patients developed postoperative complications, including pancreatic fistula in 3 patients, bile leakage in 1 patient, gastroparesis (complicated with abdominal infection) in 1 patient, and abdominal infection in 3 patients (2 patients with pancreatic fistula, and 1 patient with gastroparesis). All the patients with complications responded well to conservative treatment. Conclusions A double purse-string bridging pancreaticojejunostomy was simple and widely applicable. It is safe and feasible in total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy and should be promoted in clinical practice.
