Core Tip

Core Tip: A novel invagination procedure for pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) was proposed in this article, leading to significant improvements in outcomes. The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula with this method was only 4.65%. This standardized PJ method is a dependable and secure surgical technique that has high clinical significance and should be implemented widely in clinical settings.
