Analysis of early postoperative outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy with Braun entero-enteroanastomosis

Abstract

Objective. To evaluate early postoperative results after pancreatoduodenectomy with Brown entero–enteroanastomosis. Materials and methods. Collected data of 162 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from 2015 to 2023. Group 1 was formed retrospectively and contained patients without Braun entero–enterostomy. Prospectivile formed Group 2 contained patients with Braun entero–enterostomy. The comparative analysis of 2 groups was performed. Results. The overall incidence of delayed gastric emptying in both groups was 9.4%. At the same time, the frequency of delayed gastric emptying in the group 2 was significantly lower – 5.9% versus 15% in group 1, although the difference did not reach statistical significance (p=0.896). Conclusion. Braun entero–enteroanastomosis during pancreatoduodenectomy reduced the frequency of delayed emptying, while not increasing the number of other complications.
