Intraoperative pancreatography and gastric-wall-covering method for the prevention of pancreatic leakage after enucleation of insulinoma in the pancreas.

摘要

Pancreatic leakage is one of the most common complications following pancreatic surgery. Although several surgical techniques and several devices for the management of pancreatic ducts have been advocated to prevent pancreatic leakage, its incidence is still not acceptable. We report our new surgical technique, a gastric-wall-covering method, for the prevention of pancreatic leakage in the enucleation of insulinoma in the pancreas, along with intraoperative pancreatography for navigation surgery of the pancreatic duct. Our novel techniques help to prevent pancreatic leakage following pancreatic surgery, including partial resection of the pancreas.
