Choice and specificities of formation of pancreaticodigestive anastomosis in proximal resections of the pancreas

: The authors describe the direct results of 116 proximal resections of the pancreas made for tumor and benign diseases of the pancreas head and periampular zone. Advantages of gastroanastomosis are shown compared with pancretojejunoanastomosis at the reconstructive stage of the pancreatoduodenal resection. Incompetence of the pancreatogastgroanastomosis was noted in 1 (1.9%) case and lethality was 1.9%. Incompetence of the pancreatoduodenal anastomosis was 14 (22.2%) cases, lethality 12.7%.
