About this trial
Pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy. To reduce pancreatic fistula, many authors recommend different techniques in pancreatojejunostomy. The purpose of this study is to determine which is the best method in preventing pancreatic fistula by enforce pancreaticojejunostomy with tissue glue .

Treatments tested in this trial
Reinforced pancreaticojejunostomy with tissue adhesive glue modified cyanoacrylate (glubran 2)
Drugpancreaticojejunostomy was done with application of glubran 2: The blister pack was opened, and the sterile single-dose vial was released directly onto the operating table in a sterile environment, Draw the Glubran 2 out of the single-dose vial using a sterile syringe then put the syringe into applicator Glubran 2 was applied into anastomosis by applicator in spraying manner . Whenever possible, the area to be treated should be cleaned before application. When applied in such a minimal amount, once it had polymerized, Glubran 2 formed a thin adhesive layer. It was therefore essential not to apply more than one drop in the same point. A second layer of Glubran 2 may not be applied until the first had polymerized. Any excess product was removed using a dry swab within 5-6 seconds after application. Glubran 2 was not touched after application until the polymerization reaction is complete, as it may detach or not produce the desired effect.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
the rate of Postoperative pancreatic fistula within 2 weeks after operation
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is defined as a drain output of any measurable volume of fluid on or after postoperative day 3 with an amylase content greater than 3 times the serum amylase activity.
Secondary outcomes
Post-Pancreatectomy Hemorrhage
As defined by the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS), grade A, B and C rates
Delayed Gastric Emptying
As defined by ISGPS, grade A, B and C rates
Biliary fistula
Output of bile from drains on or by post operative day 3, pancreaticojejunostomy leak should be ruled out
Abdominal abscess
Collection \>5cm in size, containing gas bubbles, determining systemic signs of infection
