Feasibility and safety of “bridging” pancreaticogastrostomy for pancreatic trauma in Landrace pigs

Figure 1 Preparation of pancreatic stumps in all animals in the study.

Figure 2 ”Bridging“ pancreaticogastrostomy was performed in the experimental group. The distance between the pancreatic stump and the stomach was approximately 2 cm.

Figure 3 Routine mucosa-to-mucosa pancreaticogastrostomy was performed in the control group.

Figure 4 Sinus tract between the pancreas and stomach. Orange arrows showed the sinus tract between the pancreas and stomach 1 mo after “bridging” pancreaticogastrostomy. Black arrows showed the sinus tract opening in the stomach.

Figure 5 Tight connection between the pancreas and stomach. A: Orange arrows show the tight connection between the pancreas and stomach after routine mucosa-to-mucosa pancreaticogastrostomy; B: Black arrows show the anastomosis.

Figure 7 The pancreas was filled with large amounts of fibrous tissues and acinar atrophy with a drastic decrease in acinar cells and pancreatic islets. A: × 100; B: × 400.
