Is Roux-Y Binding Pancreaticojejunal Anastomosis Feasible for Patients Undergoing Left Pancreatectomy? Results from a Prospective Randomized Trial

Figure 1

Schematic drawing of the binding (purse-string) pancreaticojejunal anastomosis (FBPJ) after left pancreatectomy. The transsection line needs to be clearly to the left of the portal vein (a). The pancreatic remnant is mobilized 2-3 cm and it is inserted inside the jejunal loop with the aid of anchoring sutures (b). The purse string applied in the jejunum is tightened to secure the anastomosis (c).
