Abstrakt: Background The optimal surgical technique for pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still debated. Dunking and duct-to-mucosa PJ are the most commonly adopted techniques. Incorporating Braun's jejunojejunostomy (JJ) could reduce the incidence and severity of delayed gastric emptying (DGE). This retrospective descriptive study seeks to clarify the outcomes of dunking PJ with Braun's JJ in 100 PD patients. Methodology We retrospectively reviewed 100 patients who underwent PDs in a single unit of the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital from October 2012 to February 2023. Demographic and historical data, indications, procedure-related data, complications, and mortality data were collected and analyzed. Results The mean age was 50.96 ± 14.97 years, and 64 (64%) were males. The most common indication was ampullary carcinoma (53, 53%) followed by distal cholangiocarcinoma (18, 18%) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (7, 7%). Operative time was 5.83 ± 1.09 hours, intraoperative blood loss was 515 ± 194 mL, and the average time for PJ and Braun's JJ was 22 ± 6 and 15 ± 3 minutes, respectively. Soft pancreas was encountered in 52 (52%) patients and clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistula (Grade B, C) was seen in 23 (23%). Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage was seen in 21 (21%) patients (Grades A: 3, B: 12, C: 6). DGE (Grade B) occurred in two (2%) patients, and bile leak was observed in 4% of patients (Grades A: 1, B: 2, C: 1). Major complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥IIIA) occurred in 24%, and 11 patients died. Conclusions The dunking technique is easily adaptable, less time-consuming, and can be performed in the pancreas of any texture or duct size but is associated with an increased incidence of post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage. Incorporation of Braun's anastomosis lowers DGE, allows early initiation of feeding, and reduces complication rates.
