Randomised Prospective Study of Clinical Outcomes After Closed Suction Drainage and Natural Drainage of the Pancreatic Duct in Pancreaticojejunostomy After Pancreatoduodenectomy
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating closed suction drainage of pancreatic duct and natural drainage of pancreatic duct for Pancreatic Fistula. Completed, enrolled 168 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Pancreaticojejunal anastomosis leakage is a major complication after pancreatoduodenectomy and various technical methods have been examined to improve the situation.However, none of methods have been successful at improving results according to the findings of prospective randomized studies. We propose that active drainage of pancreatic juice using suction drainage might maximize the advantage of a stent and finally reduce pancreaticojejunal anastomosis leakage.

Timeline
Interventions
A Fr 5-8 silastic polyethylene pediatric feeding tube with multiple side-holes is inserted 2 cm into the pancreatic duct. The catheter exited via a small enterotomy in the jejunal loop of the distal portion of the hepaticojejunostomy. Totally externalized pancreatic stents were connected to the aspiration bag of a Jackson-Pratt drain to generate negative pressure or to a bile bag for natural drainage.
