Clinical outcomes of interlocking main pancreatic duct-jejunal internal bridge drainage in middle pancreatectomy: A comparative study

Figure 3 Clinical photographs depicting the step-by-step process of the bridge drainage procedure. A: Tie a suture around the surface of the drainage tube and then insert it into the main pancreatic duct; B: Use 4-0 polypropylene non-absorbable suture to create a U-shaped stitch; C: Secure the Prolene suture and the tied suture together in an interlocking manner; D: Pass the other side of the drainage tube through the transverse mesocolon; E: Pass through the transverse mesocolon and into the jejunum approximately 10-15 cm below the ligament of Treitz; F: Secure and embed the drainage tube using barbed sutures. A: Artery.
