- Abstract
Introduction: We investigated the effect of the gastrojejunostomy position on the postoperative oral intake in patients who have undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods: We investigated 119 patients who underwent PD between June 2013 and December 2019 and examined the effect of the horizontal and vertical distance rates of the gastrojejunostomy position on the postoperative oral intake. The patients were categorized as having poor or good oral intake based on whether their intake was up to half the required calorie intake. Results: There were significant differences in the number of cases with grade B or C postoperative pancreatic fistula (good, 20.3% vs. poor, 60.0%; p < 0.001), horizontal distance rate (good, 0.57 vs. poor, 0.48; p = 0.02), and postoperative hospitalization period (good, 15 vs. poor, 35 days; p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the vertical distance rate (good, 0.67 vs. poor, 0.71; p = 0.22). The horizontal distance rate was the independent risk factor for postoperative poor oral intake at 2–3 weeks (risk ratio, 3.69; 95% CI: 1.48–9.20). Discussion: The oral intake was greater in patients whose gastrojejunostomy position in PD was farther from the median, suggesting the necessity of intraoperative placement of the gastrojejunostomy position as far from the median as possible.
