Summary

Pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. To reduce pancreatic fistula, many authors recommend pancreatic stent in pancreatojejunostomy. There are two distinct methods of pancreatic stent insertion: internal stent and external stent. There was few studies comparing these methods in preventing pancreatic fistula. Furthermore, its long-term effect was not known enough. The purpose of this study is to determine which is the best method in preventing pancreatic fistula and to investigate its long term clinical outcomes.

Conditions

• Pancreatic Fistula

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Pancreatic stent	Feeding tube insert at pancreatojejunostomy site as a stent. And then 1) tube is brought out through jejunal loop below the hepaticojejunostomy site and abdominal wall(external stent)or 2) tube is cut short (5cm length) and left in situ with fixating suture. In external stent group, tube will be removed about 1 months after operation.
