Core Tip

Core Tip: Interlocking main pancreatic duct-jejunal bridge drainage emerges as a promising technique for middle pancreatectomy, offering shorter operation time, reduced risk of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula and delayed gastric emptying, and favorable long-term safety. Compared to traditional duct-to-mucosa pancreatojejunostomy, interlocking main pancreatic duct-jejunal bridge drainage demonstrates simplicity and fewer perioperative complications, suggesting its potential as a preferred method in middle pancreatectomy procedures.
