A comparison of pancreatojejunostomy using the modified Blumgart anastomosis with or without a four-needle three-loop suture device and continuous sutures for duct-to-mucosa anastomosis in robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Pancreatojejunostomy using modified Blumgart anastomosis with a four-needle three-loop suture device and continuous suture for duct-to-mucosa anastomosis in patients undergoing RPD is simple and effective. This new suturing device may further reduce the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas.
