There are many descriptions of novel PJs reported in the literature. It is generally true that the more ways that exist to perform a given task, the less likely there is a single perfect way to do it. This is likely accurate for PJ reconstruction as well. Each of the multiple different PJ techniques reported reports a low incidence of POPF. Nevertheless, POPF continues to be considered the &#34;Achilles heel&#34; of PD and more work is therefore needed to find a better way to construct this anastomosis.
<p class="jov...

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is described as the Achilles&#39; heel of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with an incidence rate ranging between 4&#8211;36%1,2,3. The goal of the presently described method of pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ), termed the &#34;Colonial Wig&#34; (CW), is to lower the rate of POPF following PD.
The morbidity of POPF is variable and it can range from being asymptomatic (Grade A, or clinically insignificant biochemical leak) to being symptomatic, causing deviation in the postoperative management, requiring percutaneous, endoscopic or angiographic interventions (Grade B) or requiring operative interventions, causing organ failure or death (Grade C)4. Multiple risk factors have been described to be associated with increased&#160;POPF, including soft pancreatic texture, small diameter of pancreatic duct, and increased intraoperative blood loss, and a&#160;validated 10-point scoring&#160;system has been described to predict the risk of POPF in patients undergoing PD5,6.
To reduce the incidence and mitigate the severity of POPF, several PJ reconstruction techniques have been described in the literature with a variable POPF incidence and severity. In this paper, we describe a novel PJ reconstructive technique, the CW PJ, which has the advantage of combining what we assess to be the best aspects of the best and most common techniques of the PJ. We compared the risk factors and outcomes of patients undergoing the new CW PJ technique versus standard techniques.

colonial wig pancreaticojejunostomy

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most problematic complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We describe a series of 48 pancreatic-head resections from our institution, in which we compare a new technique to create the pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) reconstruction with standard techniques. The goal is to achieve a lower rate of POPF. This new PJ is termed the &#34;Colonial Wig&#34; (CW) PJ due to the novel appearance of the jejunum wrapping around the pancreas, resembling a Colonial wig wrapping around the head of a Colonial Whig (e.g.,&#160;George Washington). In our consecutive series, 22 cases were performed using the new CW technique to perform the PJ and were compared to 26 traditional PDs with traditional reconstruction. There was an incidence of clinically relevant POPF of 0% in the CW group, compared to 15% in 26 conventional PJs. Our proposed CW PJ reconstruction is&#160;associated with a lower the incidence of POPF following PD, and hence may be a way to improve outcomes after PD.

Perioperative data are found in our original publication on this procedure.9&#160;Briefly, the POPF rate for the first 26 (control) PDs was 27%. There were 3 (12%) grade-A (clinically insignificant) fistulas, 4 (15%) grade-B, and 0 grade-C fistulas. This clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF) rate (grade B + grade C) was 15%. In the next 22 CW PJs, however, the CR-POPF rate was 0 (P = 0.052, by Chi-square test) among eligible cases. There was one grade-A POPF in the CW...
