Optimizing Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy: ‘1+2’ Stitch Shows Superiority in Pancreaticojejunostomy

In a game-changing move, researchers explored the “1+2” technique for pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Among 184 cases, this approach exhibited success in all 95 “1+2” cases, showcasing advantages over the traditional method. The new technique boasted shorter operation and pancreaticojejunostomy times, reduced complications, lower infection rates, and briefer hospital stays. Results suggest that this innovative single-layer continuous duct-to-mucosa approach with two figure-of-eight sutures is a safe and efficient alternative in total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.
