Abstract

Background: Surgeons continue to be concerned about complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy, especially postoperative pancreatic fistula. Among the factors that cause postoperative pancreatic fistula, the pancreaticojejunostomy technique has stood out in recent studies. In this study, we aimed to compare the surgical outcomes, especially POPF, of the modified Blumgart and the traditional anastomosis techniques in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy.
