Popis:	From January 1989 to December 1997, 170 patients underwent distal pancreatectomy with total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. We compared the incidences of postoperative pancreatic fistula in a group with use of a microwave tissue coagulator (132 cases : MW group) and a group without coagulator use it (38 cases : nMW group). Postoperative pancreatic fistula was observed in 15 patients (8.8%). Eleven cases of pancreatic fistula (8.3%) occurred postoperatively in the MW group. In the nMW group, 4 cases (10.5%) of pancreatic fistula occurred. These results suggest that use of a microwave tissue coagulator might be useful in preventing postoperative pacreatic fistula.
