Laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy for pancreatic ductal dilatation in children.
Journal of Pediatric Surgery 2012 December
PURPOSE: The application of laparoscopic surgery in pancreatic surgery in children is limited. In this article, we describe laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy for children with congenital pancreatic ductal dilatation.
METHODS: Four children with recurrent pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal dilatation underwent laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy between July 2009 and November 2011. Longitudinal incision of the dilated pancreatic ducts and side-to-side Roux-Y pancreaticojejunostomy were performed.
RESULTS: Operative time ranged from 103 to 154 min, and blood loss was minimal. The average postoperative hospital stay was 4 to 6 days. There were no pancreatic leaks. None of the patients experienced recurrence of pancreatitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy for children with congenital pancreatic ductal dilatation is safe and effective.
