Purpose: The aim of this report was to describe a new reconstructive technique of pancreaticogastrostomy and to also discuss this procedure`s effectiveness for reducing the incidence of postoperative complications. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed early surgical outcomes in 21 consecutive patients who underwent this novel pancreaticogastrostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pancreaticogastrostomy was completed with 2 transpancreatic sutures with buttresses on both the upper and lower edges of the implanted pancreas through the retracted anterior gastrotomy. Results: Operative mortality was zero and morbidity was 23.8%. A significant pancreatic fistula occurred in 1 patient (4.7%; grade B). Conclusion: This technique is very easy to perform, less traumatic to the pancreatic stump, can be performed through a mini-laparotomy due to good vision and straight sutures, and it is secure owing to anchoring of the invaginated pancreatic stump to the stomach`s posterior wall with buttresses. The results of this pilot study indicate that the technique may provide a favorable outcome and could be an alternative method of pancreatoenteric anastomosis. However, to determine its superiority over the conventional procedures, this operative technique should be evaluated more comprehensively in a larger series.
