Abstract Purpose  To investigate the differences in nutritional status 1 year after pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) using vertical suturing (VS) vs. twin square horizontal mattress (HMS) suturing in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods  The subjects of this study were 134 patients who underwent PD, followed by PG, which was closed by VS in 52 and by HMS in 82. We evaluated the peri- and postoperative factors, nutritional parameters, diameter of the remnant main pancreatic duct, and glucose intolerance 1 year postoperatively. Results  Forty-five (87%) patients from the VS group and 75 (91%) patients from the HMS group survived for more than 1 year. The incidences of intraabdominal abscess and pancreatic fistula were significantly lower in the HMS group than in the VS group (19.2% vs. 6.6% and19.2% vs. 2.6%, respectively). There were no significant changes in the total protein, serum albumin, and HbA1c levels 1 year postoperatively. The postoperative expansion ratio of the main pancreatic duct diameter was significantly smaller in the HMS group than in the VS group. The strongest risk factor for body weight loss 1 year postoperatively was a non-soft pancreas texture. Conclusion  HMS was superior to VS for preventing early postoperative complications and did not affect pancreatic function.

Introduction Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the standard treatment for malignant or benign periampullary lesions; however, the morbidity associated with this surgery is still unacceptably high and its reported operative complication rate is > 30% [1]. Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most common and serious postoperative complications after PD [2].

reconstruction have been devised to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications such as POPF [3–6]. The main options for pancreatic reconstruction are pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG). Although observational studies suggested that PG is a safer reconstruction procedure than PJ, several recent meta-analyses indicate that
